Personally, no. For me, being drunk involves exceeding my limit of control of faculties of behavior, it's disinhibition and impulsiveness, which granted is amusing, but nothing at all like meditating, which involves enhanced focus of my mind.  I guess YMMV by what these terms mean to you.


--------------------
Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Depends on how drunk and what kind of meditation, really.  It's pretty easy to practice mindfulness meditation after a couple drinks if you have a daily practice, but damn near impossible past a certain point.

Personally, I would not waste my time trying to meditate while drunk. You are better off just doing whatever it is you want to do (within reason), and chances are meditation will not be one of those things.

as long as i'm not too drunk yea, i totally can. in fact its a really good way to maintain composure. i'm a lil tipsy right now actually, and i think meditation helps me keep the mind clear so that the effects become more basic and less debilitating.

I always think I experience a nice headspace for meditation after a couple drinks.
But I never meditate in my practical sense while in that state.

Then I get trashed and my ego gets huge and it becomes almost like the opposite of meditation, if there's such a thing.

actually mediating on my being is a key aspect of even making the decision to drink :wink: helps me feel like i'm processing it and not the other way around.

same with smoking weed...like the say if you love i vibration then live it up.

Indeed, if you need to meditate while drunk you are doing something wrong with your meditation

Maybe take meditation lessons perhaps

I dont mind getting drunk once in a while, but I wouldnt meditate, I would just have fun

Try taking a long walk in nature, then when you come inside sit and meditate
body feels good, mind feels good  , then its time for meditation

not really...anything in life can be part of meditation whether its drinking, watching t.v., literally anything.

btw when i say meditation i don't always mean 'seated meditation' i mean just putting forth effort to stay in the moment, remember the self, etc. i do it pretty much all day but drinking or whatever is almost like a fun challenge towards it.

Meditating while drunk would defeat the purpose of meditating in the first place. It wouldn't be a beneficial experience methinks. Now :mxe: and meditation....

I agree with g00ru.  Alchole has a very calming affect on me.  Of course in excess its not good for shit. But a few drinks, dose calm me down and allow me to let down my guard.  The thought process flows more freely.

I can meditate very, very deeply while drunk. I recently discovered this, and have only done it once.

I wonder why drunks "black out" anyways.  Meditating while drunk is like trying to transcend the :shitstorm: of your life by holding down the off switch.


--------------------
Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Alcohol can make a curse seem a prank.. in the right mood, and it could be dangerous.. like kill someone for the fun of it.. when you do not see what is too wrong with it yourself... remove the reasoning it would actually give them pain.. and bad karma.. there wouldnt really be a reason not to..

I found drinking isnt too smart.. atleast in crowds.. in solitary however.. to focus on the focusing aspect on it... that would be interresting to try..


--------------------
And thus begins the  reverse-fusing of our one-dimentional understanding, and adds ever-expanding perspectives, in depth and number; splitting our perception, and in so doing, seemingly irrationally, creates yet more one-ness, with all that ever was, is and will ever be, streching across the infinite, inunderstood concept of everything, percievable and not.

How so? In moderate quantities it helps me bond socially with others, social drinking and all. But I have a different idea of what drunk means I guess, drunk is like drinking to the point where you're lurching onto the walls of buildings to balance yourself as you putz your way back home from the bar.  So fuckin' unnecessary imo.

Didn't you know drinking while alone = meditational drinking?  Nothing like sipping on some good Irish whiskey by yourself with the lights dimmed and musing on the problems and joys in your life.  :cheers:

You can mediate while drunk. But I wouldn't do it. It is not recommend it, you won't concentrate as much, at all.
