The Alcohol Thread

[Mr. Snuffleupagus]

My town has their yearly fest called the FogFest. I didn't go for the fest this year just wanted to go to this bar that I like. They have good bloody marys and have some decent cigars and had the parking lot filled with tables and chairs adding a great vantage point for people watching. Plus I could stay there while my GF (BearPig) could do her Farts and craps (arts and crafts) research. Had 2 BM, one with a punch cigar, one with a R&J. Was doing Jaks Wintergreen Strong between. Had a shot of Jager and a few Guinness. Nice day LOL.

Apparently I kept slamming Newcastles when I got home. I went to work with a fairly brutal hangover. We are having a heat wave and I couldn't hang. Just got home, I'm such a loser.

For me, I find the energy beers, which are also high alcohol, easy to drink, get me drunk, yet keep me awake so I'm not passed out, and ready for sleep. Drunk and energized in a good combo.

I drank sparks a couple of times. That stuff messed with me. It tasted like candy but it was like a tallboy, when I drank monsters with whiskey I had a thing where I didn't really feel drunk but then I had a beer an hour later and I was just wow I can barely walk. Haven't had a drink for a few months, may just wait 9 months til I'm 21.

I drank every night for a very long time, but now I've started to "moderate" by just getting smashed once or twice a week. It's better that way in my opinion. I don't see much value in "just a few drinks"... If I'm drinking I want to get loaded. and if you do that every night, you only really enjoy the evenings.

So yeah, I don't have to work for 2 days(I have 3 days off a week, 10 hour days) and I'm already a few drinks in. This is going to be good.

[deebocools]

oh and about alcoholic energy drinks, I agree with the comparison- if you mix liquor with energy drinks, it's for some reason alot more awesome than drinking sparks or anything pre-packaged. It's a nice way to start off a long night of drinking in my opinion.

If I'm drinking I want to get loaded.

My problem is, if I get 'loaded' on alcohol, I don't want to move and won't get anything done for three days. Whereas, if I get 'loaded' on an entirely different plant-based substance, I wake up the next day ready to run up a mountain. It's the after effects, or lack thereof, that dictates my preference as to how to get 'loaded.'

I'm with you on that.

Life is too damn short to lose any amount of days recuperating
from a bender you can't even remember!!

That and the puking when I overdo it is nasty

The cleanup alone (especially with the ensuing sour odors)
is more than enough to keep me from bingeing, and has
for years.

[Joe234]

I poured gallons of booze down my throat over
the years. Now I only smoke herb. I got sick
of the hangovers, and the trigger to other more
harmful shit.

Has anyone ever heard of marijuana called an " Exit Drug"
for it's ability to exit some people out of alcohol and hard
drugs.

[deadohsky]

I have never had a hangover, not once. If i get trashed i will wake up bright and early the next day ready to go. Don't know what you guys are talking about lol.

Be careful of the phase where the hangovers disappear but the anxiety
for a morning drink replaces them. detox time

[deadohsky]

The can't disappear as they have never occurred. Every person reacts to every drug they ingest differently; i do not get hangovers from alcohol. Either way i'm not too much of a drinker anyway.

Most people that I know who have said "they do not get hangovers" are usually the people basically not really drinking.

ANyways, for JOE. something I heard from a paramedic.

with Booze you lose, with Dope there is hope!

I do like the effects of the supressed smoking plant, and I have partaked a lot in my life, but I don't anymore, unless it's a rare instance the oppertunity arises and it feels right, due to it's legal status. If I was still single and lived alone, I probably would. But my wife would not approve, and I would not want to unwantingly bring in some legal hassle that might arise. And I'm fine with it, my buddies don't partake, except for one, but my main buddy don't, and we just slam beers and it's fun time. But I liked the supressed plant for personal relaxation more than party favors anyway.
