Are DE and Blinky the only ones left that drink and use other .... recreational substances? I've reduced myself to drinking a glass of scotch on weekends, I can live without beer but not without my Johnny Walker.
I've run out of my rancid mead and my taste buds are grateful for that (though I suspect that it was all the impurities that made it kick like a stampeding elephant). So now I'm back to drinking beer every now and then. Unfortunately, I'm still boring enough to have largely quit using snus. They've raised the taxes on it like mad in later years, and as a student I simply feel too poor to fork out the money for it.
Well, I've occasionally been known to get absolutely shit-faced and go see really bad fantasy and sci-fi movies for the express purpose of laughing myself sick and throwing popcorn at the screen. Unfortunately, the quality of movies around here has been decent lately (although I wish I'd been drunk for Max Payne), so until Twilight comes out I'm stuck being boringly sober.
I need beer and brandy on a regular basis. Especially during hockey season. I'm well past the age of wanting to get smashed just because I can. Now I actually have a developed taste for specific kinds of beer and drink just because it tastes good. The resulting buzz is merely icing on the cake at this point. On top of that, I sometimes brew my own, so I feel rather proud of myself whenever a particularly good batch comes out. I have this idea for a brew I wanted to do this year but I'm not sure how it would work out. I don't if anyone's familiar with Blue Moon, but they have a seasonal beer around Halloween/Thanksgiving time called Harvest Moon that has a pumpkin spice taste to it. I'm currently brewing a porter, but wanted to add pumpkin flavor to a batch. Thing is, I don't know how pumpkin would taste in a dark beer as I believe Harvest Moon is an ale. I was going to use a bottle of International Pumpkin Spice flavored coffee creamer to double as the pumpkin flavor and additional sugar source to up the ABV a little as well. I didn't do it yet though, but the thought still lingers.
I don't know what the hell everyone else's problem is, I just woke up about 10 minutes ago (13:00 my time) and will spend the day recovering from a 2 day Halloween booze bender. Halloween is my favorite "holiday," because the older I get the more whorish women dress. I met a chick last night whose "costume" was full on lingerie with a giant battery taped to her back. She claimed she was the "Sexergizer Bunny." Understandably, I had a hard time listening to whatever the fuck it was she was saying.
On the surface my life may appear a bit boring. But dig a little deeper and you'll find that it's actually unbearably droll. I find I can subsist on less social stimulus than most people. Around here, that's a good thing. It keeps me away from the riffraff, and there are precious few around here who don't fall into that category. So basically, my life consists of work, church, and video games. Also, constant masturbation.
God visited not so long ago. Think there was some religion involved then. Am I the only one the goes completely without alcohol, tobacco and/or any other substance that numbs your brain?
Religious debates never end with people changing their minds, except maybe the people who don't already know what they believe.
I have no issues with people who choose to abstain. I personally don't like any inhaled/smoked whatever and no longer do any of that. And I've been drinking less and less as I get older and older. And let's not derail this thread into a retarded online religious debate please. Oh yeah, she was pretty incredibly hot. We're talking "way out of my league" hot. Which is ironic because once I give up all hope of ever getting to know/date/whatever women like that I find they are more apt to chat with me. Which makes sense in a twisted, reverse-confidence sort of way. Besides, locales like that are for fun and drinking and hanging out, not finding soul mates.
Your brain is always numb, recreational drugs would just add insult to injury. Do you go to the toilet a lot during services, or do you rely upon the pews to cover your activities from the inquiring eye?
I used to be a heavy drinker, now I kinda got it under control. Also, I try to not to get very drunk in public, as I become quite unsociable in that state. I strongly believe these have something to do with my dropping out of college. In the recent months it's just beer at home after work and stronger stuff on weekends. I've also recently resumed the habit of getting badly drunk and playing WoW while under influence. Other then alcohol, I only use snuff. I'd like to smoke grass from time to time, but it's ridiculously expensive around here, especially considering it's shitty quality.
I still toke, and I'm currently researching psychedelics. I also still use my hookah regularly. Simply setting it up to smoke (tobacco, cause Pot ruins hookahs) is relaxing, and then you get to just sit back and take long deep breaths and think or chat with friends. I'm trying to distance myself from alcohol for the time being. I have 5 prescriptions that say I shouldn't drink while I take them (with possibly lethal side effects), so I figure I'll listen. I DO really want a nice pint of Guinness or a Sam Adams though. Camel actually released their brand of snus and I tried some with a friend. We really didn't like it. At all.
That was either because 1) It's American shit, not Swedish quality or 2) You're weak Of course, one portion of snus contains about the same amount of nicotine as, oh, 5-6 cigarettes? Maybe more than that. Strong stuff.
I'll go with option one. There's not a plant or concoction strong enough to strip the hair from my chest and castrate me. Except hydrogen cyanide. I don't touch that shit. Smoking a hookah alone is equivalent to smoking 20-30 cigarettes, because it normally takes about a half hour to finish a bowl solo.
