Why is everybody so obsessed with alcohol 3

So the exam period ended the other day and my friends went directly to the nearest pub to get drunk or some shit. It was fairly early in the morning and somebody bought me a pint I didn't want to ruin their fun so I drank it and thanked to whoever bought it.
Then they decided to go out in the evening checking the pubs and such. To be honest I never enjoy that type of going out but trying to be a bit more social I decided to go along. Those guys spend a shitload on beer and vodka and the majority got annihilated doing stuff they should've felt awful about later on.
Anyway I was comparing the way I like to have fun with their methods. They said 'yeah man, smoke weed and turn your gray matter to green matter...your way of having fun is destructive...go eat some shrooms druggie etc'
So apparently the guy who tried to rape a bitch from our course, and was throwing bottles while taking a piss in the middle of the street is more benign than me getting baked at home while mixing music or making the trippy crystal art pics I posted a while ago.
Well thats just one isolated case but then seeing all those other statuses about drinking on fb made me think how retarded everyone else is. Something like 'I got so terribly ridiculously fucked up last night, puked my guts out and my liver h8s me 4life now....GOOD TIMES' and it has like 17 people who like it

I hate most alcohol. Unless it's fine wine/champagne or some delicious microbrew IPA then it essentially sucks. I'd much rather smoke a bowl any day. Oh yeah, and Bailey's is delicious as well

i think its because the average person is too scared to see what real euphoria is.
the government talks shit on whats good and promotes whats bad. so the people take the bad stuff and think its good and normal, and they look at the people who take the good stuff and think its bad and abnormal.
i think thats most of the reason people frown on stuff like shrooms, mdma, marijuana, etc. they just dont know any better.

I really enjoy getting drunk, I can't take LSD or molly, etc. every weekend. I feel extrememly drained after trips and rolls. However, I can easily get drunk 2-3 times a week and not feel any reprecushions. There's no reason to hate on alcohol. PLUS you don't haveta scavenge around searching for alcohol and then getting bunk alc.

Not that I don't like alcohol I just don't undestand whats so 'cool' about getting ridiculously fucked up, doing embarrassing things etc.
As far as drinking goes I don't mind the occasional pint, I do LOVE red wine and tasty shit like Bailey's I like it for the taste not for the effects it seems to exert on my body. The only thing alcohol is good is making girls look better and easier to fuck.

So many people have been exactly like that, and once I finally got them to try MDMA (that is usually the drug I give haha) all they can say is "WOW, I had no idea.".
People tend to have a perception of something is bad because it is looked down in society. And most people do not think for themselves, or question why a certain thing is a certain way.
Thats why the quote "Think for yourself and question authority" should be the motto of everyone.

We don't have hash bars, so people need to get their kick somewhere else.
Alcohol is alright, but otherwise i still don't actually like it until i'm slightly intoxicated. Which is pretty crappy when you have to drink 3 beers before they start tasting alright to drink.

Yeah. Its gross to drink. Why would I drink a lot of this gross tasting stuff when I can pop a pill or do a small line and be waaaaay happier?

I like booze...any kind of booze, I'll drink it, except really cheap shitty beer where it takes 4 or 5 just to get a buzz
Alcohol is probably my least favorite out of everything though, pretty much everything trumps it..

I love drinking as much as I love smoking weed and doing psychedelics.
It doesn't have to be one or the other is my point. People enjoy different substances in different situations.
I'm that guy who's always down to hit up a bar after any exam.
Alcohol is relaxing and distracting, the perfect combo after a stressful situation IMO.
and it tastes so goooood

I like drinking on some good beers... And ill never say no to a beer that's offered to me, unless its a dirty Natty light or some BS. But now I only like to get a good buzz. I hate getting shitfaced.
I was actually thinking about surveying people in my neighborhood asking if they'd prefer to have their adolescent kids drink alcohol or smoke cannabis.

I enjoy getting a buzz on from time to time or getting schwilly from wine, which I enjoy much better than beer. After a certain point though I go from feeling good to feeling dumb and shitty, yet I can't help but drink especially when I'm on LSD or MDMA. It really dampens both experiences yet I feel like I need to drink a beer, and that beer turns into two, three, etc until I'm just like fuck I clouded my headspace with this toxic disgusting brew and I'm not having fun anymore. Too much alcohol really kills my socializing skills. Combine that with weed and it's a guaranteed empty head.

I love alcohol, a bit too much sometimes.
I'm also generally a very calm drunk. Even blacked out I'll just eat a sandwich and pass out. When hammered told that I'm cut off, my response is always, "yeah, guess your right".
My antics are pretty much worked out of me.
If I hit a bar, it's more of a social thing. Get a bunch of people drunk and their inhibitions drop. It's a good chance to get to bullshit people you'd normally not bullshit (while I'm fairly outgoing sober, too, the bar situation definitely facilitates the mood).
While I enjoy psychedelics on a higher, more intellectual level, I also enjoy frying out my GABA system with booze.

This.
Overall though alcohol is pretty meh for me. Doesn't even come close to weed/psychs.
It's the drinking culture I really have a problem with though. Get a lot of people really drunk and at least 1/2 the time some sort of fight or some form of bullshit is going to go down. Nothing I hate more than super defensive drunks.

there's a distinction between people who act that way under the influence of alcohol and people who just enjoy it. i'm the latter category. i'm a happy drunk and as am amicable and polite as i am sober, and i don't piss anywhere but toilets. i think maturity is a major factor in this. i also just think it doesn't mix well with certain folks.
i enjoy alcohol, primarily because of the taste but the buzz isn't too shabby. i can put it away but i don't enjoy getting to the point to where i'm getting the spins and i'm throwing up. that being said one of my goals this year is to drink less because i need to lose some weight and its my primary source of bad calories. i am also at the age where i need to start thinking about my health. there's nothing wrong with having some drinks but you can't be 21-25 forever. i'd much rather take psychedelics or smoke, but smoking doesn't sit well with me anymore and psych's aren't fun but about once a month for me. considering switching to kava or something like that.

They are spoon fed. Never bothered to learn or question the they were getting dished up.
The reality is so many people die by alcohol overdose each year and yet they have made herbs illegal.
As they say in the new zeitgeist "what are we? fucking stupid?" It certainly appears so

as for my opinion on drinking: in moderation, fine, even healthy maybe. But it goes from okay to bad REAL FUCKIN QUICK. I think its social lubrication aspects are highly overrated. It totally depends on the situation.

I was a much more productive person when I was drinking every day.
Alcohol and cannabis/ psychedelics should not be compared.

Why would it be about being cool?
Drinking is fun and good times are always had if you don't do the maggot. Even if you do you'll probably still have a laugh.
What's wrong with having a few drinks that turns into a mad one?

It's all about how you do it. Pints can make me tired as well but it's the atmosphere more than anything else for me.
If I'm sitting back relaxing it's not going to do much good but if I'm on my toes and lively,bit of banter I'll be flying.

speaking for myself I was brought up to believe that drinking excessively or socially was acceptable. I had to find out fer myself that i prefer other things. I'm almost three years sober, but it took fuckin my life up a little and going to a fuckload of aa to make it. I'm straight on going back there, something about the way that shit feels, its worse than nicotine was for me to give up. Now that I'm off the shit tho my nervous system works like it's suppose to (I can feel pretty euphoric 2-3 times a week, and have a good day most of the time) where as before I didn't like the way I felt until I had 3 or more in me. Shit now I can drink a glass or two of Kava and chill the f out. I think everybody's a little different. If you're brought up in the belief system I was it takes a life changing event to upset your moral foundation enough to look at all the shit you've been spoon fed and see what really works for you. my 2 cents

This thread blows, alcohol rocks, beer especially.
I could drink beer everyday (just about do ) if not for the gradual physical damage.

Yes, that is my opinion. You wouldn't compare PCP to amphetamines or something else ridiculous like that. Other than being relaxing I don't see what they have in common.

Alcohol is cheap, easy to get, legal, fun, and addictive as a motherfucker.
It's real fashionable around here to talk down on alcohol and people who enjoy it, being as how weed and mushrooms are technically far superior drugs seeing as how they are nontoxic, nonaddictive, and life-affirming, but I just gotta say that I fucking love my booze. You can have my liquor when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. Beer, wine, vodka, tequila, whiskey, gin, etc. etc. I fucking love it all and I will drink as much of it as I can before puking, then I'll drink more. And you better believe I'll cure my hangover with a hair of the dog whenever necessary.
My people (the tall, fair people from the frozen mountains) have been drinking themselves retarded since before they pushed the Romans' shit in and it is a tradition I am proud to inherit.
Unfortunately I've had to pace myself lately, seeing as how liquor and school simply do not go together. No drinking on the weekdays for me, aside from the occasional beer, when correct for the circumstances. Not a day goes by that I don't wish I could have a tall, frosty cold beer.
Your friends sound like they can't handle their shit though, you'd have to be a moron to think booze is better for you than weed and I've never tried to rape anybody drunk

I don't understand alcohol either
If I could smoke weed like people are allowed to drink alcohol, I'd never even think about drinking again.

I haven't had any alcohol in a few months. I'm pretty sure I'm done with it for a long, long time. Maybe I'll drink a little 4 or 5 times before I die. I don't like it.

That's pretty much what it does, period...
It's nice sometimes... I'm one of those guys who has a wandering hyperfocus, so alcohol is great for when I want to cut it short.

A blessing and a curse... After a few years using it this way you'll take a look back, notice how much time you've wasted and how many shitty friends you've made, and you'll see what I mean.
That sounded AWFUL I guess what I really mean by "shitty friends" is, not-necessarily-bad-people you can't really stand hanging out with unless you're drunk.
Using it for game is also dangerous, because one or two drinks makes you smoother and increases your confidence without really taking a toll on your intelligence or judgment, but more than that no.

I don't drink very often anymore. I partied way too much, way too fast. I've collected tons of hilarious stories in the mean time and had a lot of fun, but I'm more mature and sober with my evenings these days. And you're right - the quality and nature of friendships change for the better.
At the same time, it still helps me mack pussy.

Ditto, I'm sober at home most weeknights and even most weekends these days unless I'm on holiday. I've got too much keeping me busy to afford being hungover or buzzed all the time, and not enough time to hang out with people who aren't really important to me.
I have to be honest though, I miss those times.

Sounds to me like you're doing it simply as a drug. I take a more holistic approach to my drinking. I treat it as an aesthetic experience. I find different kinds of drink have an optimum set and setting. I like a nice bottle of red wine with a meal. I like having a cold beer while chilling outdoors with some friends on a hot summer day. And of course there are certain celebratory events that would not be complete without champagne. I care so much about the aesthetics of drinking that the container for the drink matters to me. I hate drinking wine out of a non-wine glass. And drinking beer out of a plastic cup feels cheap and dirty to me. I make almost as big a deal about set and setting when it comes to alcohol as I do when it comes to psychedelics.

There seem to be a lot of threads like this...why does everyone hate on alcohol? It's like hating on guns because sometimes people do stupid shit with them. "My drug usage is better than yours!"
There are druggies that are just as bad as these drinkers you're talking about and vice versa. There are plenty of good drug users and drinkers.

Yeah. I'm underage (19), but I have a fake ID and I have facial hair, I never get questioned when going downtown or to bars/breweries.
Spoetzl Brewery, Bitterend, North by Northwest, Celis brewery. All I recommend if you go. A lot of local and import microbreweries...very tasty beers... much to choose from. Mostly local shit, sometimes there is imports. My favorite beer is a Shiner Bock... a nice dark beer... flavorful, kind of acquired taste, I suppose... but to me, delicious.

I've only been to Houston, TX, but it was so damn humid that I'd never consider living there. I can definitely see how a cold brewski would hit the spot though.

I loooove alcohol. It's just shitty when you overdo it IMO. But generally, drinking leads to a great social time. I've also found that drinking alone can be just as introspective/useful as smoking alone.

There are druggies that are just as bad as these drinkers you're talking about and vice versa. There are plenty of good drug users and drinkers.
alcohol is a disservice to openness in society.
just... putting it out there.

Booze has its place. Not my favourite drug but definitely serves its purposes. A large reason why I like drinking is because it allows me to socialize with a whole area of society I would never even see being sat in a crack den. I'm an extrovert in the midst of an introverted crisis .
Theres a point where drinking isn't fun, but a lot of drugs have that point. Once you get past a decent buzz and start getting sloppy it looses its appeal and I wake up feeling like shit. Basically around 4 pints / 3 glasses of wine it just starts getting messy for me and my inhibition is gone to such an extent I just make a dick of myself.
A whole other reason I drink is because it a. keeps up appearances amongst people I don't want to know the full extent of my drug use (i.e. parents / "normal" housemates) and b. because it potentiates and enhances almost all of the drugs I do, whilst being easy to gauge a dose of & relatively easy to sober up from, with water n food. Last night I drank some wine, ate some opiates and did a bunch of k, ended up in this beautiful warm fuzzy k hole for about 3 hours whilst watching superbad .

I've been wondering how would I react if I munch on some mush while drunk. If im not too pissed I guess it might reduce the chance of a bad trip. Also which season were u watching?

Well the mushies sober you up fairly lively but it's best to just keep drinking through it I find.
Also if they do a number on your stomach without alcohol then...

Booze and mushies are not a bad mix, if you've got the stomach for it. Really takes that tense, nervous edge off of the come-up.

yeah thats what im looking for. You know how mushies can make u really confused to the extent where u question the act of eating the mush. I guess 2-3 pints would do a great job about it. And a spliff for the stomach.

Which would be healthier: the pints or a benzo?

TBH benzos would probably be healthier and more predictable, but I stay away from them because I'm a redosing fiend.
A few pints aren't really bad for you anyway.

Alcohol is delicious. It isn't a problem when you can have just 1 or 2 and be happy with that. Alcohol is only a issue because most people are fucking retards and can't check themselves. If shit happens when your drunk it's not the alcohol's fault it's yours. Substances are not evil, people are just stupid, spoiled and rotten.

It's funny because I'm pretty sure everybody in the Pub who doesn't make alcohol-bashing threads is an alcoholic.

Alcohol is great, it's easy to get and eveybody is doing it. Plus a nice glass of wiskey or some cuba libre or gin and tonic in the evening is awesome. But idk, there do seem to be a lot of assholes that don't really get the point, if you're yelling at the cars trying to avoid you while you're in the middle of the road, you're doing it wrong. And if you post it as a status on fb the next day, that should count towards a diagnosis of clinical retardation, IMO.

I have a pretty solid rule, if you don't start drinking until after noon it's not considered alcoholism, I'm gonna go make myself some gin and tonic right now, since i am out of coke for cuba libre...

I thought it might have been one of those strange US "dry" laws where they can't sell alcohol on certain days.
My head would explode if I ever encountered that, 7 days a week here in Australia

Shit I lose, I start at ~10:30am, stop 5-6pm so I can eat 2-3 square meals, drink a fuckload of water and go to bed sober.
I don't buy it though, 10 beers at 10am and 10 beers at 10pm are still 10 beers, except the ones at night will ruin your sleep and give you a bigger hangover.

Well that rule is not to be broken, it's the holy rule of sobriety, sort of like the 13th step in one of those programs, but it's not considered drinking if you put it in your coffee, so irish coffee it is then!

Or if you mix it into a bloody mary, for the vitamins.
By the way, is that the 13th step you were named after?

Oh right, I haven't thought of that! Yeah, it's actually healthy to drink a bloody mary in the morning before your irish coffee, to sort of detoxify the body.

Mmmmm, I love Trappist beers I normally buy the large Cinq Cents (triple) bottles.
I really struggle with the La Trappe Quad though, that's one abnormally strong beer.
Big fan of Delirium Tremens too, costs an arm and leg here in Australia though, $9 a bottle
