What do you prefer- getting high or drunk?

[almightyobo]

high easily..

drinking upsets my stomach, where as weed cures all my stomach issues, regulates my appetite, and allows me to relax

 

[AstroManLuca]

Did MJ once (well one time that I actually felt anything) and it was kinda nice. Burned my lungs and coughed a ton though. Really have no desire to smoke anything ever again.

Hate being drunk. I just feel tired and shitty with a headache. One of the most unpleasant feelings ever. Unless I have 2 or less drinks, I feel awful.

Neither one really does much for me, not worth the time and cost. I don't spend money on alcohol anymore, although I am willing to have one (1) beer if someone gives one to me.

 

[pontifex]

Neither. Never used drugs and I don't get drunk (high alcohol tolerance).

Yes, my life is boring.

neither as well. i did smoke weed once or twice shortly after high school but all it did was make me cough and make my eyes water. I'm not very tolerant of smoke. Doesn't take much to irritate me.

Don't smoke it then

Obviously if you have gone this far and haven't yet, I doubt this will change you, but if you'd like suggestions of nonsmoking ways to enjoy cannabis, let me know

I like being tipsy/buzzed more than being high...usually. I'll certainly take being stoned over being black-out drunk though.

Being stoned on IV pain killers is amazing, but that's something else entirely and only gets to occur when something awful is happening, like passing a kidney stone.

Most people don't get high first few times. It took me 3-5 tries before it hit me....and boy when it did, my stomach was hurting from laughter the following day.

Will never forget that day, that's for sure.

I definitely got very high the first time I tried it.

I just didn't enjoy it that much. My muscles relaxed like crazy, but there was nothing really fun about it, and being totally relaxed sorta sucks when you're trying to have fun.

Unlike getting drunk which is always a good time.

took me 3 times, first 2 didn't do much (slightly giddy if that). The 3rd time though it was like the clouds above scattered and the light shone through.

How come every party with drunk people I have ever been to usually ends up with someone throwing up everywhere and people passed the fuck out?

I go to 420 friendly parties and we sit around passing a pipe and eating food and enjoying ourselves...meh


I can enjoy being drunk, but I dont have fun while drunk, it usually ends up being a fairly shitty evening, and being drunk is the only thing that was decent about it.


The way i see it is, when you are at a party SOMEONE is going to be a fuckboy and smoke too much or drink too much, but when you drink too much you get FUCKED up, and sometimes end up in hospital, you smoke too much? oh no...you ate a 1/2 a pizza then fell asleep giggling to your own jokes that you forgot to tell anyone else.

Same argument can work backward.

I went to a 420 party with a friend, and when I got there, everyone was mostly just sitting around baking. Conversation going on, but very very slow. Really really boring.

Normal parties that I go to rarely have any throwing up, except the one token dumbass who just spent the last 2 hours drinking 2 boxes of Franzia, and then we kick his ass the next morning. Everyone gets drunk, we play drinking games, we all talk non stop, and have tons of fun. There is a reason alcohol is the universal social lubricant.

And I really have no idea where all this giggling at weird shit comes from. Even when I've been very VERY high, I've never giggled stupidly or hallucinated anything weird.

Different strokes for different folks.

I prefer to not go to ANY "group mentality" place that has tons of people that got together for one common interest and simply enjoy the comfort of my own home with no one bickering about BS all night on the side of me.

I've only been high once, off of nitrous oxide during a tooth extraction in 5th grade. Quadrants of my vision would disappear and be replaced with a rapidly flashing blur of yellow and pink until pretty soon I could only see the lips of my dentist. She seemed to ask me "Feeling ok? How are you doing?" every five seconds and it seemed like she was drilling a borehole into my mouth. Then she took the gas off and notified me that the cleaning was done (i.e. she hadn't even started removing the tooth yet). Then back to hell. Never again.

With alcohol, I have trouble getting drunk off of beer, not because my tolerance is high (I'm 130lbs and drink pretty infrequently) but because the sheer volume is too much. I have to drink at a rate of about one beer an hour for three hours (beers) to really get a decent buzz, and I cannot get good and tipsy off of beer without my stomach feeling completely bloated. Thus, I generally lean more towards wine and liquor, as I can drink half a bottle of the former or a few shots of the latter within an hour or two pretty easily, although because I generally consume scotch I generally do it slower and savor it for the latter. The only time I got to the point of passing out was at 16 (and ~90-100lbs), having consumed five shots of tequila over approximately the duration of Alfred Hitchcock's Birds and two thirds of Iron Maiden's Piece of Mind album (when I woke up it was paused on Quest For Fire). When my mom woke me up sleeping on the office floor I didn't feel great, but crawling into bed and getting up a few hours later, I was actually surprised at how great I felt. No hangover at all. Then I made the mistake of drinking a glass of milk. Don't enjoy tequila anymore.

 

[crownjules]

High.

I don't mind being a little buzzed, but I hate being drunk. And moreso, I hate the effects AFTER being drunk. The spins when trying to get to sleep, puking, headaches, etc. You don't get any of that after getting high.

 

[Vdubchaos]

It seems like we are pretty balanced around here hehe

I'm pretty much the same way. Beer does pretty much nothing for me, so I stick with wine. I don't like hard liquor.

Jesus that's a ridiculously low volume per hour.

Only been high 3 times, once it was great, second paranoid, 3rd was weak as my bud was probably too old...

As for alcohol... I generally stick to beer. I'll drink 3-6 per hour depending on how much I'm going for. If I want to get pretty damn drunk I'll do the 6 per hour for 2 hours. I've only gone over that a handful of times. Beer won't give me a hangover, the next morning I'll wake up thirsty, drink a glass of water and feel fine.

Harder stuff like tequila, whiskey, etc, will usually make me pretty drunk and I end up puking before the night is over if I mix it with beer (which I always do) and have a hangover the following day with an uneasy stomach. So I avoid hard liquor basically and just stick to specials if I want 6-12 beers at a bar, or nicer beers if I'm only drinking 3-6.

 

[CraigRT]

Pot, easily.

Fun high, laughing all the time. Wake up feeling like a million bucks.

Drinking, fun when before you get sick, wake up with hangover.

 

[Saint Nick]

Sometimes both at the same time for maximum absurdity.

 

[SKORPI0]

Neither, but a moderate/occasional beer drinker. I've been drunk only once (12 bottles in 6 hours), it wasn't fun.
Never took drugs, so I wouldn't know how it feels.

Dayum, neck-to-neck poll result. I'm proud of myself.

I thought your typical internet nerds would all vote for pot.

This. Any party where people are impaired is only fun if you are also impaired. And if you don't enjoy being drunk or high, it's pure torture.
