    This is kinda unironically me. I do occasionally drink, but the drawbacks of drinking are far worse than the drawbacks of weed, so I prefer weed!

      Weed is great. Psychadelics are great. Benzos are great gor not existing but not fun. Cocaine makes you an asshole. Opium derived stuff makes you boring. Meth makes you annoying. Alcohol gives you a kinda okay buzz while physically and intellectually incapacitating you and ruining tomorrow.

      Gawd I love drinking but I can’t do it anymore cuz very specific things (used to drink 10+ drinks every night for almost half a decade and tbh it was the best thing ever aside from the weight gain and the fact that if I kept going it would kill me) so now I’m just into some drugs I like.

      It’s been ages since my last drink and I’m VERY lucky, I went from years of ultra heavy drinking to nothing cold turkey (in a controlled setting, no anti-seizure meds or benzos either) and no seizures, no withdrawals, no DTs. Just crazy bad sleep for a few weeks and then 6-8+ hours a night every night after about a month. Since I stopped drinking, I’ve lost almost 20% of my total weight, and I’m eating way more than I used to. Turns out it’s a sick diet cutting out 2,000+cal of booze every day, you can eat as much as you physically can and you’ll still lose weight even sitting around all day and working a sedentary job, never exercising.

      I wish I liked THC more, but it depends on the day. Sometimes it’s nice! It’s just about time for my tri-annual heroic dose of X, though. It’s been more than a year and that’s unacceptable.
