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.

all I know is I've been around the block with drugs before, mainly pot and hallucinogens with some other potpourri thrown in there, and ya know what?

I have never met to this day a successful person in life who is a stoner. Not one. I've never met people with shittier attitudes towards life than druggies, I've never met druggies who had accomplished a god damned thing with their lives but being druggies ....

But nooooooooo, nah man, smoking pot and candy flipping and doesn't effect you at all, it just makes you happy!

Have you ever really met a happy druggie? I haven't. I've met stoned druggies that while they're on the drug seem to forget their lives suck ... but I've never met a happy one before.

For those of you who might claim I've never "done enough" of somethign to know how it really effects people, I'd say you're right, I was smart enough to never let myself get to that point at least ... so what do you want' a fucking medal for being even dumber than I was for doing more drugs? Fine, here you go ... So with that said, if you're not agreeing with me about it you're probably still all fucked up on something...

Seriously folks, there was one thing you were taught in public education that they really weren't lying about....Drugs are bad, mmmmmk?

i know you have never met anyone who smoked pot and was successful, or have you? In 1997 something like 27 percent of Americans had smoked marijuana, surely some of them are successful. Not to mention many musicians, artists, authors, movie stars etc. that smoke pot and are VERY successful. Again, as I have stressed millions of times, just because you smoke pot does not mean you will become a burnout. Lots of people like to experiment when they are young, and when they get older lead normal, successful lives. Not every college student will become an alcoholic, but I am willing to bet that a fair majority of them will binge drink at one point or another. It is part of having fun while you are a young. I really dont care what people smoke, drink, eat or snort. It is your life, and if you want to do these things be my guest. I am not one to judge, and neither is anyone else because we have all done something.
