Alcohol was the first drug I enjoyed, I really loved it as a teenager. I would drink 1-2 times a month at parties, and had a blast! Then I drank 15 shots in 30 mins in senior year of HS, blacked out, and developed an aversion to alcohol for the rest of my senior year. I would drink 2-4 times a year until I got arrested, and then I immediately gave up weed and started drinking every day to deal with legal trouble anxiety. I enjoyed it a lot until 2 months of daily drinking when I was prescribed Valium, so I just quit alcohol.
After having been dependant on benzos and soma for 8-10 months, alcohol gives me terrible rebound anxiety, enough so that's it's not even worth the short-lived high. Now, whenever I have a couple of drinks, it makes a lot of sense to supplement it with low dose Xanax or Valium.
Lately, now that I have more access to benzos than usual, I find myself not wanting to drink at all, and I used to (and still do) love the taste of premium beers, especially those from Stone Brewery and Bear Republic breweries.
