What are your views on alcohol

Not a priority on my list, but still, every once in a while I do enjoy slamming back some vodka!!!
I feel alcohol is a very addictive drug and I feel bad for alcoholics, must be tough.
I have a friend who is an alcoholic and I have/had a friend who recently died who was an alcoholic.
 
I notice a lot of people claiming alcohol as the dirtiest drug. One person even mentioned they'd rather do Ketamine since they claim it's less toxic. I'm just curious as to what evidence they have to support that. Yes alcohol can be destructive if abused, but so can meth or k. Alcohol has been proved to have health benefits when taken very moderately, such as a glass of wine once a day. Same can't be said about most other drugs, or am I wrong? But seriously, you can't say downing a beer is any worse on the body than snorting a line of coke for example.
 
i must admit i do like booze. then again im pretty inexperienced with other drugs. but booze has caused me alot of problems in the past, getting too drunk etc. then again im very fiendish with booze, i mix it and all sorts, used to get so drunk id pass out on pavements, benches. im not as bad anymore though ive learnt to moderate it, falling out with people drunk and waking up not remembering what happened isnt very nice. if booze was abolished the world would change massively.... if ecstasy was legalized the world would be such a different place, imagine pubs selling pills instead of booze...

Take this as it is, my opinion. Booze can only bring out what is already in someone. As most CNS active drugs, bring out or suppress.

The more I think about it the more I think you're right. Shit, I have to admit, even some of the stupid stuff I've done on alcohol I know, deep down, was completely my fault.
 
Alcohol is probably one of the worst drugs out there. I like it because it is socially used. Of course, I'm on an opiate binge right now so I'm not drinking. Once this is over I'll be back to drinking instead of pills and H.

On another note, to the OP, its not a choice for someone to get addicted to alcohol. So, don't look at it like that. If you take amphetamines and drink regularly, I would say you are an alcoholic/addict. You don't have to drink all day every day to be one, and most people don't take amphetamines unless they are an addict type person (which is the same as an alcoholic). So, just realize you probably don't want to look down on people that really are the same as you. Also, there is no reason to hate on something you do not fully understand. I used to work at a rehab clinic so I know a good bit about alcoholism and addiction. I see people misunderstanding what it actually is all the time. I just want you to be informed because I don't think you want to be ignorantly condescending on other people.
 
Exactly

That's generally the case, but I don't think it turns people into fuckheads so much as the disinhibition reveals their true fuckheadedness.

Personally, even when I've drank to the point of blacking out (memory wise, I don't mean unconscious) I'm not at all dickish. But then again, being nice and polite is in my nature... it's not something I do out of some sense of social obligation.

But I agree, it's easily one of the most destructive drugs there is... both socially and health-wise

It brings out what is in one
 
good for being social / lawful worst drug ever when compared to the others. Alcoholics amaze me i never understood how one could wana be drunk 24/7. althought it is fun once in awhile and cheap.
 
the drug that's caused the most deaths, and probably the least amount of euphoria. Its alright sometimes but, I'm really not into drinking anymore, maybe a few beers at most to make my weed buzz a little more pronounced but other than that alcohol sucks, it makes you feel bad rather than good at high doses, so you have to find the perfect amount to actually enjoy your high. Other drugs are a lot more euphoric, have over all better feel to them (alcohol has a sloppy high), and are a lot more fun to do/ingest.

It is nice every once in a while when you've had one of those days where you just need to go to the liquor store, buy a fifth, and knock your self out but other than that its no good.
 
I used to love the stuff freshman, sophomore, and junior year of high school.


...then I discovered other drugs. Now I think it's worthless.
 
There are much better drugs than alcohol. Alcohol is everywhere though and easy to get. My brother and sister are both of the legal age to purchase alcohol and I live in the same house as them. There aren't very many situations where I would pass on free alcohol. It's also dirt cheap. I would get very bored of it if I drank often though. I've been drinking every weekend recently but I've never been a frequent drinker. It has the ability to enhance other drugs (mostly stims) quite nicely.
 
pretty pointless alone IMO, like a lot of other people said its good for enhancing other things.
i like some after an opiate high to kind of keep it going
 
I watched it unleash something sad in one of my friends last night. :(

And I think he's predisposed to alcoholism...

He was belligerently drunk by the time we had gotten to the second party (probably around 9:30 pm)... He was wobbling around with a beer in one hand, vodka in the other. Needless to say, they kicked him out of the party, so he went outside (and was really depressed about it... and his ex... and another girl... and some other kid that bested him in a drinking contest)... so he went outside and sat by our apartment building, and started yelling at people on every floor he could find. They, of course, responded with remarks to egg him on-- it was quite entertaining to them-- and then when I came down to get him out of there, he stubbornly sprinted away.

That's where someone else took over for me and I went back to the party...

but there was more stuff. I think he officially earned 'creeper status' with some girl; most of the stuff I didn't see.

It was funny in the morning, though... we were in the elevator coming back to the apartment, and there was a lady who was cracking up because my roommate (the drunk one) had a box for a shirt and marker drawings on his face.
