For me, drunk is a very unpleasant sensation. I mean, I don't really enjoy intoxication in general, but of the very few highs I've been on, ethanol is the worst. I wouldn't touch it, if it didn't taste good.
Actually, that isn't strictly true - one or two beers can make you feel warm and fuzzy. After that, it's really not worth the trip.
One time a friend decided to try and get me drunk by handing me a tall glass of mudslide.. The smell still makes me naucious, but I downed it anyhow, a drink at a time.. About ten minutes later, they were carryng me to their car and driving me to the ER while I threw up blood.
Though I'm not sure I mind being being alergic to alcahol. The stomach pump isn't very fun though.. Brings a whole new meaning to the term deep throat. o_o
One of my brothers is border-line alcoholic, he gets very drunk once and sometimes twice a week. It even almost cost him his life.. a leg.. once, but luckily he pulled through. But I believe he still drinks regularly despite that hard lesson. I used to drink with him.. but now... I only drink very sparingly, rarely having more than a couple of beers, if that. Alcohol can be a nice way to relax, to relieve tension.. especially in a social setting. But for some people it's.. I don't know... a means of escape, from bordom, from stress...
Ugh. Sorry I'm not more upbeat 'bout this, but nearly losing a family member to it has understandably coloured my view of over indulging in the stuff.
If you want a better high I recommend Ecstasy. Much nicer.. if quite a bit more illegal. *urf*
Beware the ethanol, my daughter, the jaws that bite, the claws that catch Beware the jub-jub bird and fear the furmious... um... dammit...
Being under the affluence of inkahol can be amusing or terrifying, or just plain annoying. A lot has to do with who you're doing it with. Speaking as another one of them there children of one of them there alcoholics, I beg that you tread lightly and leave something more tangible than breadcrumbs to mark the way back.
I suspect you're somewhat like me; the type who will occasionally socially mooch, but rarely get up the gumption to purchase. Unless you're really, really bored, and really, when does life ever slow down to that degree? A non-addictive personality.
I prefer a high that leaves me in some control, and drunkenness ain't it. Besides, if I, say, smoke pot, it doesn't leave me feeling like hell the next day.
Yeah. This was the first time I ever tried 'drunk' out and it's not really something I want to pursue. Losing control isn't neccesarily a bad thing, but being drunk just felt like I'd lost the control on doing stupid things. If I'm going to turn off an internal censor, I think there are more interesting ones to shut off.
Having fun while drunk comes with practice, IMO - you learn what types of alcohol you like and what types you don't, you learn how much to drink (or how much NOT to drink), you learn what types of people compliment you and which social settings suit you best. I didn't like it much at first, many years ago, but now I drink all the time. ;D Well, not ALL the time, but pretty frequently. (Most of my friends like to drink, and are fun when drunk, so there you go.)
