    Alcohol / weed enhances kino, which is why you have to be careful about using them when you're watching kino or else, one day, you won't enjoy any film/tv show you watch unless you're drunk and/or baked. I've seen it happen to a lot of friends of mine.

      God this is true. I took a couple hits from a bong and ended up belly laughing straight through several episodes of Family Guy. Not even good Family Guy, like season 10 and beyond Family Guy. I felt very ashamed.

          Mindless stuff is better stoned. Actual kino that requires somewhat of a lucid mind to enjoy is obviously going to be worse. You just have to pick the right stuff to watch stoned and the right stuff to watch sober.

    Watching movies is not a fulfilling hobby. Criticising the creations of artists all day while knowing that you couldn't make anything worthy at all is also quite degrading. Any hobby that is solely consuming and even worse, criticising, will lead to a rot of the soul eventually.

    Movies are a casual pastime for when there is nothing to do, just as is gaming or reading. It should not be the focus of your life.

      1) I enjoy the sensation of being drunk for its own sake. Not smashed, just good and drunk.
      2) The key is to discover how to drink in order to obtain your desired level of intoxication. I got very shitty a few times in college and that got very old very quickly. I was well and truly hung over a few times, and like you say, I had to cut it out for a few days. But if you restrict your intake to a certain level on a nightly basis, you can get drunk regularly, slowly destroy your liver, and generally carry out adult tasks (holding down a job, paying the bills, etc).
      3) Because of the above, I cut out liquor once I had a basic understanding of the various types and what each one tastes like. Hard Liquor (of the various types) has the highest alcohol content by volume, while beer has the lowest (wine is in between). The quantity of liquid consumed in each case, smaller for (higher concentration) liquor and lowest for beer, equates to "one drink". Roughly, a 12 ounce can of beer, a five ounce glass of wine, and a one ounce shot of liquor, each equate to "one drink". Drink anywhere from 3 to six of any combination of these in a fairly short time, an hour or two, and you'll get a good buzz going. Keep going and you'll get drunk. Keep going further and nature stops you: if you don't have a nice day via alcohol poisoning, the room will start spinning and you'll vomit and/or pass out.

      4) The latter is the unpleasant territory. And a buzz isn't very impressive. The middle is juust right: drunk. Generally in control of yourself, but very loose, and not really in complete control. You can get here with anywhere from 7-12 drinks, depending on constitution. This is what I do with beer on a nightly basis. Also, I make sure I only have enough booze in the house at any given evening to get to this place, and then stop. If there is more in the house I WILL drink it if it's available. I am very careful never to drink and drive. I drink alone, then go to work in the morning.

        Simple rules for daily drinking:
        >Do not start drinking until 5 PM earliest
        >Do not drink hard liquor. Not only will it completely frick your tolerance up but hard spirits (40% ABV and above) completely trashes your liver and kidneys.
        >Keep your tolerence low enough so beer and some wine here and there gets the job done. So you should be keeping it at 4% to 12% ABV range
        >If you're a beer drinker, economize by drinking tall boys. They're cheaper bc the drinking can isn't optimal for drinking straight from, so use a pint glass or stop being a pussy and drink from the big can directly.
        >Pacing! 5 or 6 5% tall boys = 10-12 beers. Drink a tall boy an hour (2 beers an hour) and 5 cans should last you 5 hours while maintaining your buzz until bed
        >If you're looking for an extreme high, alcohol may he the worst possible choice for that. Go smoke pot or take shrooms or whatever, but using liquor for a really high high is going to frick you over eventually and extremely unpleasantly
        >Take breaks. Even up to a year. It reminds you why drinking is worth it, modtly because of you maintain moderation you realize your downtime is kind of boring and you're not having as much fun without booze
        >Eat and keep hydrated. May be the quickest path to ruin for drinkers, who tend to avoid eating bc it dulls the buzz. Eat before you drink and drink water with it and you won't feel like absolute shit the next day. Also, you won't destroy your body as quickly, if at all.

          The problem with constant drinking is the caloric intake

          > beer is packing on the pounds
          Wine is a good sweet spot that’s why all the alcoholics I know mostly stick to just that. But it still has more calories than you think especially compared to water

      I was a raging alcoholic for years and it nearly killed me. I drank because I have horrible anxiety and insomnia. It also made me forget about all my trauma. It definitely made me sick the next morning but I always had booze for hair of the dog and it would kill that hangout immediately. Then hangover became withdrawals and I was drinking just to keep the delirium tremens away.

    Of all the drugs to be addicted too, why alcohol is the most popular is beyond me

    The euphoric effects of going on a good drunk are good for about 10 minutes and then after that it's pure misery while you wait for the effects to wear off, and the next day you feel like complete and absolute shit and you probably did a bunch of shit you regret

    Conversely the first time I did prescription opiates I was like "yeah I get it" and I've never gotten over how great it felt

      Because you can get it readily in the shop, possibly for very cheap, and it requires no preperation but opening a bottle or can. Most other drugs require finding and maintaining contact with a dealer, cost more than alcohol, and some require effort to consume like weed requiring grinding it up and rolling joints or preparing a bong etc

          I am indeed a lazy man. The whole point is that it's legal and you can obtain it without having any social connection of any kind. You can just go to the store, and don't need to know a dealer. You have an absolute legal right to get drunk in the privacy of your own home as many times as you please, as long as you are not bothering anyone else, or doing anything which is illegal while you're drunk.

          I know how harmful alcohol is, but I still find myself looking down on people who use other drugs. Cocaine users in particular seem to be extra shitty human beings for some reason.

            Cocaine sucks too. I did it one time. The effect isn't even cool. Plus at that point you're dealing with serious criminals. Not just your high school alumni who sells weed.
            Luckily I live near a legal state. Being able to buy weed at a legit business has totally changed the game. Happy to not have to deal with shmucks anymore. And vaping makes consumption less of a hassle.
            But yeah my other favorite thing about coke is that every faux liberal tool I know does it, and will ostracize me for using words like homosexual and moron or making a racial joke; cocaine is grown, processed and shipped by brown women and children in impoverished countries at gunpoint. Lol. Snort up, anti-racists!

              Dad is older now and I'm long since a grown man. He was watching something on tv about Hunter Biden and he disclosed that he'd used cocaine a time or two back in the late '70s but he stopped very quickly because he knew he had an addictive personality and knew he couldn't get hooked. I guess he didn't want me to know that when I was younger. We have a good relationship, and it isn't surprising (he WAS an active, touring, professional musician during the '70s), but honestly I think just a tiny bit less of him for it.

            you look down on weed smokers and you get drunk routinely? When was you last time you heard someone get stoned and shoot their wife and kids? Also I don't deal with dealers I go to a dispensary like a civilized person. Alcohol literally ruins lives weed doesn't and don't say it can't happen to you because it can. When you are like "I look down on other druggies because I'm not like them!" you will be saying that same shit all the way to rehab.

The drinking thing goes deeper though, it's a legitimate cultural issue and it crosses socioeconomic statuses.
