I just feel i can't always have fun in certain situations without it and it's freaking me out a bit. Two of my best friends don't really drink and it's just interesting to hang out with them as I'm sort of like whoa do I have as much self control as you guys? Been freaked out by a few situations that have occurred while i've been drinking heavily or fucked up on something and wanting my brain to work ,articulate things, and just generally know what to do.

I don't think i could ever do straight edge but think i need to get a handle on not overdoing things. I've just kind of said fuck it while trying to fit in and coming to the realization that maybe it's better to try and find some sort of middle ground . Idk.


You could try limiting yourself to just three drinks at a time. I used to do that and it kept things under control. I've found, over the last year or so, that I'm wittier and more likely to flirt with women (since I'm cursed with being single) and generally feel like I'm more fun when I'm sober. When I would start drinking, it instantly would become harder to articulate myself, like you said.

Done and done already. I think I need to watch my caffeine intake or something. Having an energy crash after work, when I want to come home and write music, really sucks. I need my concentration.

I don't think I'd be able to handle the general bullshit of life if I didn't get drunk

Yeah I can identify with the caffeine. I avoid pop but I do love mah coffee. I'm probably taking in too much sugar too.

Bullshit is what it is. I try to let go of shit that doesn't matter and focus on shit that does.

YMMV :thumb:

this is my chronic (no pun intended) thing with marijuana smoking...life without weed is SO FUCKING BORING. sometimes i say, quite seriously, that i get high so it'll make me stupid enough to be amused with dumb-ass reality, which often is an insult to my intelligence. :mope:
