I drink as much as possible. Don't binge drink. Yet. But i have tons of mates who do. Want to try pot. Got offered some in Camden, but it wouldn't be clean. Don't want to smoke for some reason though.

Don't tell me it's bad for me or shit like that. Eating a shitty lump of dead animal is much worse for you i'm sure.

Sex is overrated. Period.

Is it? I hadn't noticed.

:

I really can't stand it when people shake their heads and tut, and try to tell me that it's bad for me and that I shouldn't have let people pressure me into it. As though enjoying myself is some kind of cardinal sin - yep go ahead, whip your dick out and piss on my bonfire, thanks.
I don't think it's a cardinal sin. I think people do it because they are bored. And they are bored because they are boring. Usually finding something fun fixes it up quick.

Most grow out of it. Some don't.

But, as always, this is my own opinion.

:

Well to all of you who think that I got pressured into trying it, I'm greatful, thank you so very much for implying that I have the willpower of a cowering retard - as it so happens I actually CHOSE to try all these drugs, nobody forced me. But hey ho, who cares about the facts right? It's the thought that counts.
I didn't know any of the "facts" before I posted. Nor was I refering to peer preasure at all.

:

Here's a little tip: If you don't like getting wasted or have some kind of problem with it, then don't post here. I don't wanna know about how boring you are to hang with, and I don't seem to remember asking you about how much you hated it in the first post.

Jesus.
Struck a nerve? I don't think we're as self-possessed a drunk as we think we are.

Here's a little tip for you: I bet you're bored. Get a real hobby.

typhoon when I quoted you I was only referring to the post you made about sex being better than getting wasted. :p

Oddish 03-15-2005 09:21 AM

I would probaly try and get drunk if i'm in a party or something, but I don't. So I don't ever drink, drugs and never smoke.

Excellent.

What I said still applies however.

Mojo 03-15-2005 09:40 AM

I like getting wasted. Usually use beer, but sometimes something stronger. Like Vodka. Heck, I was on a trip to Barcelona once, and in the supermarket nearby, you could buy Wannabe-Malibu for like, 2 euros for a bottle. So ofcourse everyone bought stuff like that. So I was in someones room at one night, and we had a little party. Some dude next to me dared me to drink the whole bottle at once, so I did. The guy who owned the bottle wasn't happy, but I didn't care! I was too happy, strolling along the corridors of the hotel, in a Zig-Zag- sort of way. T'was fun...

But my all-time favourite drink has got to be Goldstrike. Ahh, it's tasty cinnamon flavour! Yum!

Shinjara 03-15-2005 10:30 AM

I am currently quitting smoking ciggies & I have previously smoked weed for a while, but that won't happen again.

Where drinking is concerned, I love a Vodka & Coke every now & again, but I don't drink so much I get wasted, not a favourite feeling of mine I suppose.

Congratz. Cigarettes are pretty much the only drug I frown upon.

Joe the Intern 03-15-2005 01:26 PM

I do heroin and crack pretty often, but smoking is disgusting.

:confused: I'll take that as sarcasm. And I have no idea who Frank is.

AquaticAmbi 03-15-2005 03:12 PM

I've never smoked or done drugs. I will admit that I contemplated selling some hydros left over from having my wisdom teeth taken out when I needed some quick cash though. But that would have been hypocritical, so I didn't. As for drinking, I don't... unless I'm tasting something my mom bought to satisfy my curiousity. Outside the home, I've had one drink like three years ago. Meh. Just not the way I get my kicks.

But hey, do as you please. I'm not one to judge you. I'll listen to why you choose to if you listen to why I do not. It's not just because of the health reasons; I've seen people completely foock up their lives because of stupid crap they did while under the influence of something. Plus, I still have memories of my alcoholic and druggy-ish father's violence while he was intoxicated. I refuse to let myself follow in his path as I could probably easily become some sort of adict as well.

Frank is short for TalkToFrank, a british government agency which is attempting to cut down the number of people taking drugs. You phone in anonimously and they give you advice and motivation to help you stop.

Silversnow 03-16-2005 10:52 AM

I'm still too young to drink legally, so I just do that at home on special days. I don't drink much though, just those fruity drinks with very little alcohol in them. Mostly because my body reacts strangely to alcohol, I don't even have to get drunk to get a horrible hangover. Alcoholism runs in my family, so I'll try not to drink too much when I get the chance.
As for the other drugs, they don't apply to me much. Cigarettes disgust me (not smokers) and I don't feel an overwhelming urge to experience how the world is with pink leprechauns running around in it.

Facsimile 03-17-2005 12:17 AM

I don't plan on doing any drugs, and when I drink I never get wasted, I like to remember everything.

Jacob 03-17-2005 06:48 AM

'I haven't had a drink, smoke, or drugs of any kind...and I don't have the desire to do so in the future. That's just me.'

I know a few people who are doing that now, but not for religious reasons, solely because they want to. T'is called being 'xstraightxedgex'.

Which is poo, since when i get off my face, and act like a twat, they'll remember! Pooples!!

I like getting drunk mainly. Can't stand the smell of Weed though, eck! I'd probably do quite a few Drugs at least once. Bar Heroin.

Meh.

Leeum 03-17-2005 01:05 PM

Friday nights for me :D

Every thursday i chip in my £5 for weed and go out and do what comes naturally. We have a great time, have our bongs/ joints in a subtle place. It doesn't interfere with our education and we have a good laugh, I couldn't ask for more.

Smoking cigarettes isn't a problem for me, i know i have the power to give up when i want/ don't have enough cash. Alcohol is good but i prefer weed, just whatever we can get on a Friday does me. Anything but cider is fine, bad memories with that stuff ie 3 litres later and i was puking blood :/

It's up to you how you have a good time. You can do whatever you like and it won't make you a better person, it alters your state of thinking temporarily. I get a buzz out of it, as they say, whatever tickels your fancy :D

Musing:...Absinthe... What is so great about absinthe? Everyone, and I do mean everyone, are hyping about absinthe. As for me, I really don't see the greatness in this yucky green drink. Eck ;(
First of all, it tastes like shite. Period.
It's very pricy too; 45 euros per bottle. Nu-uh.
And you get a horrible hangover from drinking it.

Anyway...
Meh...

Agreed, the stuff sucks. I'd rather stick with some good ol' vodka :)

Jacob 03-18-2005 09:30 AM

Vodka gives me terrible hangovers, and i know if i'm going to get a hangover in the morning if i can taste the Vodka in my Vodka and Coke/Vodka and Orange/Vodka and Redbull.

Absinthe. Hmmm. I'm doing it this weekend for my 19th. Ugh. I can't believe how old i am!

Teal 03-18-2005 02:40 PM

Wasn't it absinthe that Van Gogh was drinking before he cut his ear off? *headscratch* Contains wormwood, or something, which is hallucinogenic. I think it was legalised again or something when I was in my first year at Uni, so there were absinthe parties across campus - the smell put me off. :P

I drink a little, but I don't hugely like the taste of alcohol, and usually end up as a prop for my falling-over friends if we go out. :P That's about it, aside from caffeine.

I'm fairly ambiguous about most other drugs - if a person wants to do it, well, it's their life, they can find out about the risks as easy as I can and if they still want to use them, well... *shrugs* I just don't like the fallout from it - the theft and the violence feeding the trade. The only thing I particularly don't like is cigarettes and their like - and then only if someone lights up right next to me without asking if I mind, what they do in the privacy of their own home is up to them. "If I wanted your second-hand bad-smelling cancer-smoke in my face, I'd ask, thanks." Mind you, if they DO ask if I mind, I'm usually a mug and say "nah, go ahead". So... yeah.

And Frank is over-rated.

Well, being homeschooled doesn't really put me in an environment where I'm pressured a lot. Though, I'm sure I'll have the same preference out in zee real world.

Really though, I just don't see me wanting to do any of that stuff. My family has a history alcoholics, smoking is pretty much paying to screw up your lungs, and drugs kill brain cells I'd like to keep. I don't care how many people are doing it...that's still the way I'm going to feel about it.

-oddguy

That's pretty much the way I feel about drugs/smoking etc. Though, that's partly because I like to have my wits about me at all times. :)

Yeah all booze is good. Gotta get a mate to hook me up with a joint too sometime. Life is gooooood!

It shall forever remain a mystery mein friend (imagine that the word 'friend' is in german! Hii-ho!)

You must've noticed that I've stopped using MSN looong time ago :p

Anyway, there's too little of that hallucinogenic stuff in absinthe for it to actually affect you. You'd have to drink so damn much of that stuff that after that you really wouldn't even know if the whatcamacallit-hallucinogenic-shite even works...funny thing really.
AND--H; The "absinthe" you can buy here in Finland only tastes like "the real absinthe". So basically the crud over here is just absinthe flavoured vodka.
Hurrah.

Statikk HDM 03-20-2005 10:22 AM

My roomate is a minor like me but he's always bragging about how much he smokes and drinks. I hope he gets busted and expelled, the little twat. I'm clean.

Kimon 03-21-2005 07:16 PM

Whoa, man! I've always dreamed of liquid marijuana... I would love to have a bottle of that, just to have it. Anyway, one day I will make a drink composed entirely of cannibus (and maybe some weird teas).

The Red Muse 03-21-2005 09:13 PM

O_o!
NO!
that is so wrong!
Argh!
God created marijuana to be smoked (or maybe to be put in brownies :) or in tea :p anyways...), not to be...errr... mixed with ... vodka :(
*sadness*

Oh yeah... Good morning, I just overslept and missed school :)
Yay!

Facsimile 03-22-2005 12:30 AM

I can't really say I'm all for 'if people want to do it they can do it'. I mean, I'm not going to stop anyone, but my social activities with anyone drop very quickly if they become a stoner. I just can't stand talking to them. I hate the way of thinking that goes with it.

Jacob 03-22-2005 05:41 AM

I don't particularly like the smell of Weed, t'is rather foul.

Did some Absinthe on my birthday night out. Not the shockingly high % shtuffs, but t'was moderatly high. 50%. I had two. I wasn't too bad actually. More bitchy than usual. And Homophobic. One part in particular that was amusing was when these Hetties were kissing, and i went "Euck!! LESBIANS!! DYKES!! EWWWW!!" and the guy was all "I'm a guy!" and started laughing, so i laughed...then gave them a mass of abuse.

They walked off.

Shame.

Define this stereotype, this "way of thinking" thing that goes with being a stoner... It confuses me.

Personally I don't do a lot of thinking when I'm stoned. My sober feelings on actually doing the drug is that anyone who is against it is merely attempting to be a killjoy, and anyone who is against it but smokes cigarrettes or drinks alcohol is a pure hypocrite asshole. It isn't life threatening, isn't really that bad for you unless you mix it with tobacco or are prone to mental illness, and makes you feel a million bucks, so why the heck not?

That's a total sterotype. First off, not everyone who smokes pot does that. Second of all, if someones stoned, they know they're being retarded. It just that since pot makes you dumb, stupid stuff amuses and interests you. So if you say something you think is profound, it's another 20 minutes of stupid joy thinking about it. So chill, and let us have our fun. ;)

Hmm, that could've been someone elses quote?

Honestly, I don't care about people who use pot to make them feel better, I know I don't need it to make me feel better. I have friends. I laugh with them I feel better.


Heh, last Saturday, I was getting drunk again, with some friends, and eventually, we went for a walk, because on of them guys "let one fly", and it smelled horribly. So we was walking down the street, when one of us spotted a friend of his. So we went to him. So we were talking to this guy, when one of them asked me something. I didn't "register" the question 'till a couple of secs later. So I turned to answer him, he was friggin' asleep in the bushes behind me! So we had to drag his (and our) drunk ass back to his place, where we laughed about it, and had another. Darn, that was teh funnehst thing...
