Alcohol and drugs

Drugs are bad, m'kay?

Even though I do drink, it's not much, and furthermore, mostly during parties. Not to mention with the fact that I have a job, I drink barely anything at all. But when it comes down to it, I'll only drink. I don't smoke, cigarettes or otherwise.

 

alchohol is ok if you manage it and keep yourself under control. i hear some people say they cant make themselves stop and honestly idk if thats true but in my experience you can control yourself just make yourself stop after 1 or 2.i usually drink jack daniels or whatever else by the shot so long as its around 70 proof or more but i dont drink every day and i stop at one and wait a few hours before another one. truth is its to expensive to drink to excess so learn to use moderation or get set cause life will suck drunk or not. learn to use moderation and self control or else you will never have any thing

 

Never drink, don't smoke, never been high from an illegal or misused substance it's all been legal (it's bound to happen given the meds I've had to take from my chronic pain and other health issues.) I do however, curse like a sailor on leave. I try not to if there are younger people on the forum, or at least try and bleep it. Cursing doesn't bother me though.
I don't have an interest in alcohol. It doesn't taste very good, so I have no reason to want to consume it. I'm not curious about drugs because my father is an addict,which is why he's not a part of my life, so I stay away from it. Most people would think I'm alot more wild given I'm a punk and have dyed hair and piercings. But I actually lead a very boring life compared to most people I know. A wild night for me extends to watching a season of Supernatural or being a hermit in my room working on my art and writing.

 

I have tried alcohol, but I don't like the experience nor the taste. The only exception to this is $400/bottle Cristal. Maybe I'll get drunk once a year for a major celebration party with close friends, but the most likely scenario is that I take a couple shots in honor and stick with being just a bit tipsy.

I don't smoke cigarettes. In that regard, I'm the only member of my immediate family out of my entire generation not to. I have tried them via few hits, and have tried smoking a hookah (which tends to be lauded as 'cleaner' or 'healthier'), but I never really cared for either at all.

To me, it's all hype. And I'm also fearful of people's drunken behavior.

 

Well this is interesting. In most cases I try and stay away from booze and drugs aren't my thing but I enjoy drinking but I am very good about keeping it down to drinking occasionally. I have a problem with people who use drugs and alcohol as crutches and excuses as I've been around a lot of really dumb people who smoke weed so that they can just get through the day because it's too excruciating to go to class unless they're high and I feel that that is just irresponsible behavior. Once in a while hell do whatever but if it's an every day thing I think that it's just a waste.

 

Completely against both. I'm actually for prohibition of both alcohol and nicotine products.

 

I'm actually drinking a cider right now (alcoholic)
I don't drink often, but when I do it's usually cider or wine - never really been fond of beer and the only liquor i drink is vodka, but very infrequently as I don't try to "drink to get drunk" as they say - I think if you like something, drink it, but always use common sense and drink only in moderation. Alc. poisoning is a stupid way to die, and for gods' sake don't ever drive anything. Vehicular manslaughter and/or killing yourself, or even smashing up your car are all terrible outcomes so just don't.

As for other types of drugs; I highly recommend Caffeine, it's legal in most places and it's like a wonder drug if you need to do stuff xD. On the other hand if you have trouble sleeping or have no reason to be energetic, don't consume caffeine (obviously).

Smoking anything is not great for your lungs, I would not recommend it and I don't smoke anything myself. Also you will smell bad and all of your stuff will smell bad. If you simply must smoke something, chose marijuana over tobacco however. As i'm sure you've heard unless you've been living under a rock, tobacco (and nicotine) in cigarettes is really bad and may or may not give you cancer. Pot on the other hand will pretty much make you high and there are no bad side effects (other than being lazy and/or tired). You will still get some ash in your lungs from the smoke so that's not great for you, but at least pot isn't as addictive or carcinogenic as cigarettes.

I have never done "hard"er drugs, but from what I hear a good rule of thumb is that natural stuff is way safer although most are not safe at all. For example: mushrooms, good and usually safe; cocaine , always bad all of the time.

So that's it for me, and for all of you, my warning/word of advice is to simply make sure, whatever you try, to understand the risks both health wise and mentally before you try anything. Pro-Tip: Wikipedia and Google are your friends.

 

I think the use of either is just waste of time. Feel free to use anything you want, just do it away from me.

 

I've tried various alcoholic drinks and have hated all of them, and the concept of losing some control of myself via getting drunk or high doesn't appeal to me. As for caffeine, for some reason, it doesn't affect me a whole lot. Very little seems to energize me, and I'm tired all the time. @_@

You might want to look into Vitamin B or D supplements (and/or ask your doctor about vitamin D deficiency, pretty common - I even have it).

Other lifestyle things you can do are get more sun, get more sleep, and eat green veggies

 

A few years back, a good friend of mine died of a heroin overdose. I had no idea he was even on the stuff, though I had noticed changes in his mood and behaviour. Nobody even knew he was dead until about 3 days after he was cremated because he had no family left.
It was from that moment that I denounced those kinds of drugs. By which I mean the violently addictive drugs that you can die from even when trying to get off them. If someone want's to smoke a little weed, that's fine. If you take heroin, your likely screwed.
Incidents like these even led to me supporting some of the paramilitaries that operate around my area such as RAAD (Republican Action Against Drugs). They have done a great job in taking down drug dealers, albeit through violent means. Usually they start with warnings, then threats, then punishment beatings and kneecappings, then an order to leave the country. If they still don't leave the country, summary execution. Seeing how much drugs have destroyed the lives of many of my friends, I find it hard to disagee with them. Although, in the last year they have merged with the Real IRA, it is likely that the same actions will be carried out, although this time under the banner of the IRA.
Speaking of which, just over a year ago, a man who I admired was gunned down by gangsters for his attempts to stop drug dealing in his area. That man was one of the leaders of the Real IRA and I would consider him to be a great man for the actions that he has taken against both drugs and the traditional causes of the IRA.
Bottom line, if you take drugs, it's your funeral, if you deal drugs, I have no qualms with anyone planning your funeral in advance.

 

I noticed you are from Ireland. What's your opinion on booze?



Oh. On Topic Time. I think booze is okay, and drugs are bad.
That is all.

 

I enjoy both regularly, great socialising tools! :derpe: butsrsly. They're awesome.

 

...You say this like it isn't common in America. Most kids here start around 10 or 11 years old.

 

Sorry to say that as of tomorrow, I won't have a doctor because I will no longer be insured. I can tell you right now, though, that lack of sun is not the issue. If anything, with my job, it's excess of sun. x_x

Both things are very bad for you and I have no desire to take drugs or drink alcohol.

 

If people want to ruin themselves, Fine. Just don't be a danger to others.

 

I'm glad we both feel the same way also I love chocolate and food in general.
