I drink maybe twice per year and I've never used marijuana nor do I have any interest in it.

I tell myself I drink seldomly... but it always ends up regularly. Ultimately I tell myself that I am attempting to dumb myself down to everyone else's levels.

I drink more in the winter. Probably three/day average. As it warms I drink less, and will go a couple weeks without drinking anything. I only drink when I'm happy, and warm weather doesn't make me happy.

I don't smoke. I don't have a problem with it. If weed dropped in my lap, I'd smoke some occasionally, but don't care enough to seek it out.

My problem is that I like good beer... and that's pretty much all I drink. Shit gets expensive when you're having $10 bombers every other day.

On the other hand, if a bud-light or something made its way into my fridge it would stay there for months without me even noticing.

I pretty much always drink Friday nights and Saturday nights. I'll have like 3-5 mixed drinks over the entire evening. I rarely drink if i have to work the next day with the exception of football season. During football season I'll drink on Sundays pretty much every Sunday.

I have a kegerator too but I haven't even had a beer out of it in like 3 months. There's probably like 1/4 of a keg left too so I don't even know if it's still any good.

I don't drink anymore.

I will not confirm or deny I smoke hayhay.

Ben using Kratom a couple times a week. Its very mild and legal as of now.

I have not used any psychedelics for over 30 years, but I want to! If it were legal.

I rebelled against my hippie parents by not doing drugs :)

I've thought about taking up single malt scotch as a pretentious hobby but that would require too much effort. So I stick to caffeine and chocolate for my recreational drug use.

Yep. I've had several people who just don't believe that I've never tried marijuana and don't want to. When I tell people I don't really drink, they often get visibly disgusted.

there's no hobby more pretentious than buying fancy watches

and unlike alcohol, you don't end up peeing watches down the toilet

You are missing out on the fun.

We are old and responsible adults now. No harm in giving it a try.

my doctor said i'm not allowed to drink or i'll probably have a seizure, and marijuana is illegal + a fireable offense if drug tested

I drink maybe three drinks per week, only Friday and Saturday nights.

Pot is cool but I don't smoke. You never know when you might want to get a new job and they might test. If I was retired though, I'd probably smoke a few times a week.

When was the last time a company randomly drug tested you during employment? Never for me in my 20 year career, not even Burger King.

I drink once in a while but not regularly. I'll drink a bottle of wine over the course of a few days, and do so maybe like once a month at most. Typically If I have a nice stretch of days off then I might crack a bottle open to sip on at night. I don't drink if I work the next day and I don't want to open a bottle and feel like I have to finish it so soon. I could, but I rather not.

I tried weed once, but just to try it. No plans to do it again.

It definitely happens and some places make you sign an agreement saying you won't use marijuana and I'm pretty sure that every job I've done paperwork for outside of McDonald's asked if I ever took illegal drugs. Walmart wouldn't hire me because I told them I wouldn't report a hypothetical coworker who used marijuana at home but always came in sober.

The whole drug testing stuff in the states is retarded. Who cares if someone decides they want to do drugs on their own time. As long as they can get to work, be sober and do their job, who freaking cares. But same goes with conflict of interest crap, I think it's BS that companies can stop you from doing stuff off the clock. That should not be legal. They should not have that much reach.
