Why pick opiates over alcohol?

I prefer alcohol.

It's cheaper, easier to get, more social, less stigmatized and, while very addictive, isn't addictive in the same way for me. It doesn't take a lot of will-power to follow a week of heavy drinking with a week of little/no drinking, whereas with opioids (and benzos, coke, amp), it's much harder to control my tendency towards addiction.

And I don't really need something I can hide from people, as I don't go to work/etc. intoxicated.

I like opiates as an occasional treat, but they're certainly not my daily DOC like alcohol and marijuana.
 
I used to pick opiates over alcohol but now I pick alcohol over opiates. I still LOVE opiates but due to my past opiate addiction, I stick with alcohol. Opiate euphoria is much better though but my choice is based on safety.
 
hahahaha alcohol better than opiates? in terms of the "high" opiates win hands down. id even prefer a weak opiate like codeine to a bottle of vodka. Opiates give a clean, euphoric, thoughtful high; whereas alcohol is irritable, restless and has a dirty feeling to it...

wake up the next day after a good nod i feel refreshed and energised, wake up after a drinking session and I tend not to move far from my bed the next 24hrs.
 
Yessss another alchy-ranting forum!!! I HATE ALCH! I have seen it tear apart lives of those close to me....

But, i can say the same thing about o.c. :(......however, the reasons why opiates are like a billion times better (and i don't have a "dope habit" i use on weekends only) have already been stated with the leading:

You can still function and preform in society withotu stinking or being sloppy. In fact, opiates make me "more normal"
 
Opioids don't make me feel slow or stupid like alcohol does. They give me the warm fuzzies in addition to numbness whereas alcohol only numbs me in a cold way.
 
Alcohol is sloppy...smelly, makes you puke, and the hangovers are just a waste of my time.
Narcotics are cleaner. And bud smells wonderful.
 
its a totally different buzz and instead of paying 20bucks for a case of beer and taking the time to drink it, you can get 2 bags of dope or any opiate for that matter and be high in seconds or even if you take your pills orally 45min and youve got a feeling youll never find in the bottom of a bottle, i used to drink alot till i figured i was better off putting all my money in opiates

How can alcohol be more intense than IV morphine?

Come on.

Have you ever fell over in a pool of you're own mess after shooting IV morphine?
or even completely blacked out?

And i get what the OP is saying, people here seem to think he is dissing opiates over alcohol? He is simply asking peoples opions regarding these two substances.
 
I wish that I enjoyed alcohol because it would be a lot easier of a habit that smack.

But I hate the way it tastes (even mixed with sweet stuff) and it never gives me that happy, tipsy, buzzed feeling that everyone else talks about. It just makes me nauseated and depressed and tired.

Even though recreational use of alcohol is legal, and recreational opiate use suffers many drawbacks due to prohibition, I don't know if that's true. Physically alcohol abuse takes a harder toll and its abuse is far more impairing, amongst other things.
 
^ Right, I meant easier as in don't have to drive to the hood and illegally purchase an expensive amount that will last a short time but instead can walk to my local grocery store to purchase a cheap bottle that can last me awhile.
 
alcohol makes me tired, less sociable and i can't think anymore. i've never gotten any euphoria from alcohol, at its best it doesn't change my mood much, at worst it makes me depressed. my stomach doesn't agree with it either and the day after is worse than with most other drugs. with opiates i get a lot of euphoria, become talkactive and quite sociable. i have a clear head and the next day is fine. so opiates>>>alcohol for me. still i don't really like both, i prefer psychedelics, entactogens (mdma euphoria beats opies hands down ;) ) and even stimulants to downers.
 
I pick opiates over alcohol every time because the effects to me are just so much more enjoyable.

Alcohol is a such a dirty substance. Gets metabolised into poison (acetylaldehyde) and the effects just aren't that great. Alcohol gives me a little euphoria at just the right dose, but once I go over that I either get nauseated and feel like I'm spinning or just generally shitty. Even if I can keep it at that sweet spot, I will eventually feel like shit from drinking. Bottom line. Alcohol numbs my body to pain but the hangover makes me hurt worse than I did before.

Pod tea is my opiate of choice, and low doses result in pleasant stimulation and much more euphoria than alcohol does in low doses. As the dosage increases, relaxation and euphoria become more prominent, along with sedative effects. I never get belligerent, stupid, or become an asshole on opiates. Can't say the same with alcohol.

Basically to me opiates just make me feel good with less side effects than alcohol. I can get a little euphoria from alcohol but the spinning and general numbness sucks IMO.
 
Because opiates = euphoria. LOL no but seriously I love reading all the pro-junk posts, their opinions are just right in line with mine. I really wish opiates were prescribed for mental issues as well as physical...I'm a better person when I'm on them (as long as I keep my doses and tolerance low, gotta take breaks)
 
“Whereas wine disorders the mental faculties, opium introduces amongst them the most exquisite order, legislation and harmony. Wine robs a man of self-possession; opium greatly invigorates it.”


Thomas De Quincey quote
 
I didn't read any posts, but to the OP, i don't see the correlation between alcohol and opiates.
 
Yeah, I was sick of people telling me all the crazy things I did when I was drunk, though at the time it seemed like I was having the time of my life.. also I get super horny and when my man isn't in the mood, maybe bc I stink of booze, it's not very "sexy" :) needless to say I'm not a "big drinker" anymore.. my vote is for "goodies" as I call them, but a nice drink to take off the anxiety at a family party during the holidays, since my tolerance is pretty low these days isn't half bad either.

opiates make me feel amazing-like im in heaven, alcohol makes me feel like shit. opiates cause no diseases or organ damage (unless IV and unsanitary), alcohol causes many diseases. opiate withdrawal sucks, but alcohol withdrawal is worse.
 
err... alcohol makes me stupid and tired. strong opiates allow me to retain my intellect while adding confidence and energy.
