I wanna rant, but...

[NiteTiger]

I wanna rant, but I'm drunk.

Keep in mind, I've been 100% alcohol free for about 18 months now.

So, I've had a bit to drink tonight, and I have that urge. That urge to purge, and just spew my opinions out all over the internet, for anyone to read.

I feel aggressive and confrontational. After over a year of alcohol abstinence, I'm rather shocked. I'm quite surprised at how aggresive booze makes me feel as compared to weed.

Any one else notice this? Or is it just me?

I've got that 'rant' feeling, but I figure I'll skip it because past experience tells me I'll regret it when I'm sober

Irie !

I quit booze about 20 years ago because I was starting to lose control. I would get drunk and become hostile, aggressive - to anyone for any reason.

Yes, at the time I was probably holding in a lot of anger and of course alcohol released that anger unto the world around me. Before I turned into my father, before I hurt anyone - I realized what I was doing and quit.

liquor = the devil

alcohol is like anything else imho, it all depends on how you use it. personally, i do not drink, never have been a big drinker. besides, my digestive system simply cannot tolerate it, only in very small doses of quality alcohol. but i am good friends with old time boozers, and it is as if they have their drinking down to an art, similar to how some cannabis users are able to partake of the herb continually and mantain irie-ation.

still, i tend to agree, alcohol is kind of crappy vibing thing... to each his own i guess.

peace.

not directed to you, nite tiger,....

they call it "asshole in a bottle" around here!

 

[Sativa_Fan]

I still don't understand how people can love a substance so much that makes you aggressive, rude, confrontational, etc. I am not talking about you really Nite Tiger, I am talking about alcoholics. I know alot of people that are totally different people when drunk, and alotta times they're also the ones that think pot is evil :rollseyes: I'm guessing that you're sober by now, so keep it that way. No one likes a drunk asshole. Drunk assholes have been responsible for wayyyyy too much bullshit in this country. Last I heard, alcohol also makes you anti-semitic

I like booze the same way dude drank it in the big lebowski , you know, a tastsy white russian or a good beer every now and then.

I also like mixing alcohol with red bull and then smoke: weed + red bull + 40 liquer = good times

lol Yep, you're still young :wink:

Interesting, Nite Tiger....

I used to drink vodka like a stereotypical Soviet factory worker in my teens and 20s in terms of intake. But I never drank everyday, maybe just once a month or 2x a month so. But I never felt aggressive for some reason. But yea, the "out of control" part is very tru tho. I'd never drive a Minsk drunk offa liquor, if u get what i mean......

I drink..but not to the max..I like to have a few shots of Jager on Friday if there is no herb around...but I would rather toke some herb than drink liquor. I don't mind the beer but I don't usually drink a lot of beer..just doesn't do much for me...so if there is no herb I will buy a small bottle of Jager and take a few shots and feel good.

When my nephew was killed in 2004, I was very distraught, depressed, angry.. you name it. I was smoking a lot of weed and drinking a lot of Jack Daniels....alone..every night..for 3 months straight. I would go into my bedroom with a couple big bottles of Jack, a big bag of weed and listen to XM all night. I would get completely obliterated to the point of blacking out and waking up on the balcony with the hot summer sun beating down on me. I finally went to see a therapist and we worked it out and I quit drinking so heavily and backed off on the herb.

I need to grow more herb so I don't feel iike drinkning.

I can understand exactly how you feel about alcohol Nite Tiger. Best to stay off of it, that aggression only gets worse and worse. I finally quit drinking myself but only after the damage was done. Its the only drug that has ever caused me problems. It has cost me my marriage, my military career, friendships and tons of money. In the end I just stay away from it and I suggest you do too, that aggression WILL get worse.

HOW IN THE WORLD CAN SUCH A HORRIBLE DRUG AS ALCOHOL BE LEGAL WHILE MARIJUANA ISNT?

i have given up on binge drinking. it's so bad for you... i have been regularly testing my blood pressure lately... on a normal day it is a tad on the low side which is great. very consistent readings all perfect. the last 2 times i have done binge drinking my BP was really high the next day... like 130 over 95 - yikes! that shit is no good... now i love superb wine with my meals, great beer and high end whiskey and rum.... but it's really about the experience/taste and not the buzz (ok maybe a little buzz ). plus, i black out if i drink too much... that sucks, what a stupid feeling. so from now on drinking to get drunk is out for me. i like being healthy and getting blazed on dank is really what makes me most happy.

 

[Laxpunker]

Eh, I can probably count the amount of times on one hand I've been "aggresive" drunk. All involved someone doing something stupid and me wanting to knock them out. For instance smashing glass bottles around my car, good job asshole I gotta drive through that. Other than that I find alcohol to be a very sociable thing. In the right atmosphere it leads to no more than lots of giggling and sometimes memorable stories.

 

[T-type]

Shhh....

 

[dude06version]

i remember spliting 2 40s with a bud of mine (first time getting smashed).. i thought i was gonna die.. seriously.. but i only like alcohol with weed.. i turn 21 soon so it should be interesting to see how that plays out.. hopefully i wont become a drunk. peace.
