Getting Wasted...
 
Bongs, blunts, spliffs, pills, beer, cider, vodka, whiskey, rum, absinthe...

Name your pleasure. Do you get wasted? If so, how often, where, and what with? Do you grow your own or have a dealer? With friends or on your own? Nightly? Weekly? Monthly? Yearly?

Personally I get wasted, either at my house with friends, or at my friends house. Good music, good weed, and good booze = perfect night. I like to keep it to the weekends though, since I have work and college during the week.

I don't do drugs and I hardly drink since I'm little (I'm like 4'10") and I can't my drinks well.

Kimon 03-14-2005 02:00 PM

I haven't been ON anything for almost a year. But my drug of choice would be weed. It tastes good, it's fun, and taken in moderation, it's almost harmless. Alcohol is fun, but that can be pretty hazardous. And trying Absinthe is a secret dream of mine. :p

Actually me and my friend tried morninglory seeds (same effect as acid, except they're legal) but they taste like crap and you have to take a LOT to feel anything. That's about it for my drug stories.

Agent-Sarah 03-14-2005 02:04 PM

Here's a tip if anyone is going to the bars. Bring some bail money and an extra pair of pants because you may never know what's going to happen. (from the words of comedian, Dave Attell).

Dino 03-14-2005 02:04 PM

You secretly want to try absinthe? :p

It tastes just like what it is - engine coolant.

soulstice 03-14-2005 02:05 PM

Ummm.....I smoked for like two months and then stopped, I like to go clubbing and I like nothing better than Malibu and Coke or Bacardi and Coke. WKD and Red Square are nice too. I don't do drugs at all, I became all health-freaky and I wanted to stop smoking because of the effects, sounds silly, but I always used to be like 'Ohh, I really want a fag!' so I stopped before it became unhealthy.

Kimon 03-14-2005 02:06 PM

Really? I heard it was like licorice, but I guess I was wrong... unless engine coolant tastes ilke licorice... I'll be back soon, I have an experiment to conduct.

Kimon 03-14-2005 02:07 PM

In America you get beat up for saying that. :p

Sorry for double post.

Agent-Sarah 03-14-2005 02:09 PM

Chewing toothpicks is my only pleasure.

It has a licorice flavouring, but the alcohol taste is so overpowering that it just blanks it out practically. Apart from that it pretty much tastes like engine coolant... (which is basically 85% or more alcohol content)

Oh, in Britain, it's used as a slang word for cigarette. Sorry to offend any Americans here. Is it used as a short term of faggot in the states?

Yeah I've heard. My drum teacher took a trip to Praugue and got some. Isn't it sort of acid trippy though? Along with immense drunkenness?

Yeah, it's got something in it that makes you trip out. You end up doing weird shit like punching trees for looking at you funny, tactically assaulting your bathroom because it's plotting against you, and chasing the invisible dog around the house.

And Mr Flibble still lives in my top pocket since the last time I drunk the stuff. I really should evict him, but I can't find my top pocket.

Kimon 03-14-2005 02:24 PM

I always lose my pockets. It's a real bitch, ain't it?

Anyway, my friend was talking about how he saw a plastic cake in the shape of a 5 in the sky, and how he was shooting rainbows out of his fingers at his friend. This was acid, of course.

I remember doing that! That's when Gary came back from Germey and had that thing with him.

I remember being dizzy, but after a few puffs, I got used to it.

Um.

Right.

You puffed absinthe?

You do know that absinthe is a drink right? Are you sure it wasn't just weed?

I thought you were talking about the smoking thing that Arabs use! That was a mistake, sorry...

Dino 03-14-2005 02:35 PM

You probably did solid or hash then, as that's what most of those middle eastern dudes smoke.

Agent-Sarah 03-14-2005 02:38 PM

One question: Do that stuff give you lung cancer?

Kimon 03-14-2005 02:43 PM

If you smoke enough, but not right away, of course. And yeah, it was probably hash.

Agent-Sarah 03-14-2005 02:44 PM

And that's why I don't smoke.

Majic 03-14-2005 03:25 PM

From TuckerMax.com, "The Absinthe Donuts Story":

"She takes us to a bedroom. There a few other people there. They are smoking pot and drinking. There is a solitary bottle on the table with greenish liquid in it. The label has the word “Absinthe” on it. I don’t know what absinthe is. I am not afraid."

Reading the full story gives a better chuckle. And at that, reading all of his stories give even more chuckles. What better material than a man constantly getting wasted, having sex, and insulting people? Point proven.

As for personal drugs/alcohol, I've declined the few offerings I've been given.

Dipstikk 03-14-2005 04:21 PM

I promised myself I would stay clean. No drinking, no drugs, no nothing. My dad was an alchoholic, and that's herediterilly passed down. I just don't want to put myself through that.

Besides: Mountain Dew tastes good. Hell, soda tastes good! I'll stick with that.

a flock of seagulls 03-14-2005 04:44 PM

im an anti-smoker and, like little kids say, "Beer is yucky! blegh!"

Same with me. My Dad, used to smok though, so I've grown to hate addictive drugs.

Kimon 03-14-2005 04:58 PM

Cigarettes I have a real problem with. There is absolutely NO REASON to smoke cigarettes. They give you a buzz the first two times, then the just kill you. Other drugs are not good, but cigarettes are the worst.

SeaRex 03-14-2005 05:19 PM

Never have. Don't... really plan to in the immediate future. Getting "shit faced," as it were, really doesn't appeal to me. At all.

I have, however, developed a taste for red wine. I blame the fact that I was Catholic when I was younger. "Hook 'em while they're young," I guess. Look out for that Pope... he's crafty.

*snooty scoff*

God, I sound like such an arrogant ass tonight. But if getting wasted is your thing, then far be it from me to tell you to stop. I'm not THAT self-righteous. If you like, it's cool baby.

Leto 03-14-2005 09:31 PM

Mr Flibble
Game over, boys.

Not too keen on drinking. Something about acting completely stupid unintentionally doesn't really appeal. Feh. But when sake is in the house, that is another story...

Occasional weed. Nothing much.

Alcar 03-14-2005 09:34 PM

I would never get shit faced. I've seen the effects up close and personal, and I never want to see myself in such a position. I drink socially, and do not smoke. I've never smoked in my life, but the next time a friend offers me a cigarette (though I've probably got them so conditioned as to not offer again), I'll probably try it.

But I know for sure that it just isn't my thing, and I'd like to keep myself fit and healthy.

Joshy 03-14-2005 11:23 PM

Any form of alcohol is good, but i dont get wasted i just like to get drunk. Mostly a couple of months when i have break so i have time for the hang over after the party.

typhonblue 03-14-2005 11:40 PM

Getting laid is better.

In fact good, regular sex will put an end to the desire to get piss-addled.

oddguy 03-14-2005 11:58 PM

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.

Woah, I respect you so much oddguy. You are my parents in a nutshell. It's great to see someone not affected by society or peer pressure. I know that drinking / smoking / drugs is often a peer pressure issue - most of friends do it for that very reason.

Alcar...

oddguy 03-15-2005 12:13 AM

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.

Sex is overrated. Period.

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.

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.

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. :nonono:

Cloverfield 03-15-2005 12:31 AM

Never cared for anything like that. I tried smoking and pot, neither did anything for me, so I didn't really bother.

I don't drink much anymore. I used to a bit when I was younger. But I only really got drunk once, tipsy a few times though. I have the ability to hold my alcohol very well, so in most cases it will take a long time and a lot of drinks for them to even begin to have an affect on me.

That's usually a reason why people use them. They feel they have to be fun, and fun is associated with using drugs. I don't want to read too much into your words, but you've grossly generalised, and shown a possible reason for your so called 'absolute own choice'.

In my experience, everyone I've known to take drugs does so because of peer pressure. I mingle with a variety of people, most of whom my best friends could be classified as 'poorer' or 'working class'. In such a situation, it is common for me to be exposed to drugs. Not too mention all the other exciting events that follow along with gangs and crews.

Heck, even I started drinking because of peer pressure. The first time I drank, in the absence of my parents, was a few years ago. At a friends party, where upon stepping into their backyard I was thrusted a bottle of tequila, and basically coerced to 'scull' it. And I did. From there, it was a while longer before I became responsible and said no when appropriate.

Oh, and yes, sex is over-rated. In most regards, anyway.

What I mean is, people who constantly bitch about drugs being bad are really boring to hang with. You end up not having a good time because they put a downer on your group, and attempt to stop you from taking drugs with their lectures and pep talks on drug health. Sorry if I offend, but I just don't like Frank much.

I'm a responsible guy, so don't get me wrong here. I don't do ANY of the heavy drugs. Pills is as far as I go, and these days I refuse to touch them.

And you've read wrong; I usually entertain people when I'm sober, I'm generally a lot less entertaining when I'm wasted, but that still doesn't stop me from having a good time while I'm at it. I honestly laugh at people who do weed and things just to maintain an image... I mean what's the point? At about 20 quid per 8th, that's quite a pricey image. I don't need to be stoned to be cool, I have good friends who like me regardless of my mental and physical state.

That used to be me. But I wouldn't bitch, I'd just exploit their guilt to get them to quit. It worked, but once I stopped, after realising that eventually, it is up to the individual to make the decision. And they started right up again. One particular friendship in this regard is not really in existence any more, to say the least.

From my point of view, I just don't wish to harm my body in that way. And while I am fully aware that Alcohol does the same thing, I too have been bitten by the hypocrite bug.
