Is getting drunk overrated? Options

[Spectatrix]

I don't see the point in getting drunk. I got drunk once and didn't think much of it... getting buzzed felt good, but getting to the point of "drunk" just kinda felt meh. I mean, you gradually lose control of your inhibitions (sometimes a good thing, admittedly) and motor functions and you often end up feeling like crap in the morning, even if you DIDN'T do something you regret.

Discuss.

Being tied to anything is bad, but that is human nature. Some people are depended on food, tv, the computer, etc.

I need to quit smoking cigarettes but I still have not. I know it is bad for my health and a waste of money but I still buy them. As for weed, I would not say I am dependent. I have not smoked habitually in a while and have not purchased any in over a month.

But to believe it across the board ?
I have friends who do nothing but get high these days. They are zombies, staring into space, speaking slowly, and waiting for the next chance to get high. It's ridiculous for how "harmless" we perceive pot to be. You'd expect that kind of zombification from a "harder" drug.
But also, there are plenty of people I've known who smoke regularly and they aren't burnouts.
Drugs have different effects on people. Not everybody sits on the couch and watches Aqua Teen Hunger Force after lighting up.
It's people's personal responsibility (or lack thereof) that dictates if they continue to use something that hurts them, or makes them useless etc.

Yeah that is my main point. It depends on the person.
