I'm surrounded of drunks, though I don't drink alcohol

[NME]

Other stuff

It's quite a relief to see that you're going to be reigning in your drinking. If you can keep your drinking moderate, more power to you. IMO poisoning yourself to relax is the height of idiocy when cannabis is non-toxic and more effective at anything alcohol does that is enjoyable or positive as a drug. Then again you live in America and even I wanted to drink when I was there just to shut out all the suck of the soulless 8 lane highway that cuts a swath across the lower 48. It's that bad.

However, the reality of the situation is that college and university binge drinking culture costs our species lives and minds and is exported the whole world over in American media. Alcohol is a caveman drug that belongs in the past. If we want our species to move forward we are going to have to stop our wide-scale use and championing of alcohol as a beneficial substance. It does nothing for your creative abilities. At best it will amplify your emotional state slightly and put you into a shallow, flirtatious, overly sexual state of mind that is only concerned with base impulse gratification. This behaviour is good for dancing, having fun and fucking, but that's about it. And even then, alcohol is a depressant so why would you want that shit in your system when you're trying to have a good time? Do you turn down the volume when you really like the song you're listening to as well?

This drug is a social evil in spite of all of the cultural "good" we think it does. Most of that cultural "good" is only social tradition and practise. A government that pushes booze on its citizenry instead of non-addictive, helpful, natural vegetables such as cannabis and psilocybin mushrooms is purely doing it to control its populous and keep them afraid of drugs in general. The population uses alcohol, gets addicted and has to work for their living. The population experiences a slight case of alcohol poisoning and mis-attributes those terrible feelings to all drugs and their use. This is how your brain works whether you like it or not. Think about all the poets, artists, musicians and entertainers who hit the bottle a bit too hard and left us too soon because of it. Think about all those artists and what they could have been if they weren't drinkers ruining their bodies with a poison that screws up hearing, vision, and general body function!

We have been lied to for long enough and our acceptance of this government enforced drug is doing nothing but hurting us and making us more profitable piggy banks for the state to pluck off the side of the road and rattle so that a few shiny coins will tumble out into their wallets so the department can meet their monthly ticket quota and afford new squad cars.

This problem is bigger than you or me EvaFan; I just used the discussion you created as a springboard to throw out some philosophy.

Good luck with your travels.

Anyway, Eva, we can do this!!!! We just need a FIGHTING SPIRIT!!!! *^_^*

, I don't intend to quit though but kudos to you if you do. I simply enjoy it with coke. I just don't abuse it and limit myself unlike people who go through 6 packs daily. All this serious business is kinda funny though cause I go a whole day/work weeks without drinking coke some times and other days I'll drink like 2-3 cans (This is only on days off work). I just intend to drink less (and put less crown in per glass) for the reason NME said, my liver.

lol. I guess I'm a bit worse off than you. I generally drink rum & coke, Jack and Coke, and Chocolate Silk and coke. The Jack and coke I drink for taste, the Silk and rum to relax (as my 'wussy, girly' drink), and the rum & coke every other time. Which basically wound up being for creativity, in place of coffee to stay awake, to get motivated to do stuff, to stay pleasant and not murder the entire human race for their stupidity, and really just to function. My wake up call was about a month ago when I opened a new .750 of (regular strength) Baccardi, then about 3 or 4 hours later, was looking at about a 1/4 of the bottle (just then aware I was a little drunk) and wondering where it went. (I was the only one home at the time.) And also Immorrel bitching about me always being in some state of intoxication and going through a liter of 151 in a week or 2. And feeling bad for a really sweet friend of mine whom I always seem to be apologizing to for my drunken behavior. >_< So yeah, I don't intend to quit quite yet either, but I would like to limit it to a couple recreational drinks a week, rather than being constantly drunk. And also so I can be in a state where I can quit when we decide to try and have kids. *^_^* I also want to do it for my liver. Alcoholism runs on my bio dad's side, and his mom died of cirrhosis of the liver. While various cancers are a worry on my mom's side, I would rather fix what I have control over. Anyway, good luck to you! *^_^*
