Good question. I'll ask some of ABM's women and get their take. He's gonna be mad at me now. I'll get his call in 5...4...3...2... Oh, there's the phone.
I frequently post under the influence of an intoxicant (PUII) . . . and given the quality of my posts, I would say no.
Getting your drink on at clubs gives you courage to talk with ladies. Being "shit faced" forces the ladies to call security.
Actually, my girlfriend doesn't drink much at all......and, for that matter, neither do I. I do love the taste of a good beer, though. However, I keep it to one. If there's a game on, occasionally I'll drink a couple over the course of the game. I like it that way. Drinking for "effect" yields poor results. I've been on that side of things far more than I care to remember (or not).
This is the beer curve, a few gets you up to the peak of performance but there is an abrupt drop off on the other side!
I used to love drinking to get shit-faced. Now days I'd rather just have a couple beers and smoke a little bud. Personal pref.
Lately I've been getting some horrible headaches if I have a few beers. Like 40% of the time. I mean really bad almost migraine where I'm laying in bed unable to sleep. Even with just two beers. A few of these were drinking after dodgeball while I was probably dehydrated, but many were not. I've had a lot of mild headaches over the years and would just pop a few pills here and there but I'm wondering if maybe I should put my drinking days completely behind me. Haven't really drank anything the last couple of months and headaches seem much less. Since college days with Beerboy30 I've been a less frequent casual drinker so its not really that big of a part of my life where I would miss it as much..... But is kind of wierd sometimes to hang out with my old drinking buddies and not be drinking myself.
I kind of stopped drinking beers. I've been binge drinking when I go out, but stopped regular drinking.
It's a well-known fact that getting shitfaced makes every man 6'5", 250 lbs. of muscle, and gives them a 12" cawk.
Marijuana helps lungs (see new article) and fights cancer (see comment afterward). http://www.takepart.com/article/2012/01/11/marijuana-not-bad-your-lungs
+1. Though I generally drink wine. Working in the wine industry, it's either drink the free (or reduced price) wine I've been given, or buy beer.
...the alcohol headaches caused me to curb virtually all drinking. Plus, Mary Jane is a much better/safer alternative! She also prevents and/or gets rid of any other headaches that may try to reappear from time to time.
+1. Hell yes it is. I like to get home from work, get hammered with dinner, and relax the rest of the evening while the buzz gradually wears off as I head to bed. Get up, go to work, then do it all over again. Good times. Don't judge me, bitches!
