If by pizzle you mean piss, or ice they both are drinking aids for me unfortunately, well ice definitely
used to be but after a period of my life using amphetamine/methamphetamine flat out due to a kind of early life crisis (back then I have no idea what it was as I wasn't a lurker or a member here) I could drink my mates under the table even before i started using way back then. You can imagine that nobody could outdrink me when I was on. Plus as a young man I was definitely one of those who treated drinking a bit like a competition of who could stay on their feet for the longest with the most alcohol in them. Man I was an idiot, that tense is wrong. Man I am an idiot.
These days using any stimulant is a rare treat that I give myself when I either can't get anything else or simply crave it for some reason, don't really know why I felt the urge but it definitely satisfied me.
I always get very thoughtful and reflective after using fast. The last time I convinced myself that I was going to get off the methadone for good the next time I spoke to my doctor. That lasted until I slept, woke up in withdrawals as I'd been awake for a couple of days. At the time though, I was convinced that it was such a negative thing that I was doing to myself and others around me. It's strange, maybe sleep deprivation can help change a person's outlook on life. Maybe I was just too tired to know what I was thinking.
BTW I'm pretty proud of myself that I only drank 2 beers last night. I thought about having a third at about 3am when I was starting to get a little tired but thought better of it since I had to drive in the morning, I've lost my license too many times for drink driving and there's no way I'll put up with a fucking interlock again. Not to mention the possibility of jail time

I think I'd just give up and move to a major city to rely on public transport exclusively if that happened, never to drive again.
