Yeah, fucking alcohol prohibition. Tam thinks it should be illegal. She's gonna have to pry the beer from my cold dead fingers.

lmfao.

I guess I'm not the right person to criticize the idea. I think it would be funny to make caffeine off-limits to anyone under 21 and watch the world burn. An addictive chemical that causes 4 days of vomit inducing withdrawal headaches, has a peak point of 45 minutes that ultimately reduces your cognitive ability for several hours afterward, and creates a mild euphoric rush when ingested, yet we sell it to kids. Still sounds weird to me.

Personally, I find a strong drink relaxing after spending a day getting yelled at. The idea that I could go weeks hating life, sober, without alcohol... Yeahno. Hell no. The idea gives me a panic attack just thinking about it. Fuck that. There's not a thing in the world that would make me change my mind.

I honestly have trouble understanding how some people dislike it.

Alcohol personally makes me nauseous and vomit really easily. I don't like feeling like I'm going to puke. 1 or 2 drinks is ok sometimes, but 3+ is always bad news and I always regret it. My stomach just doesn't like alcohol. Also the spins suck, and the dumbing down effects suck and are often paired with a lack of emotional control, which is sometimes not a good or fun thing. I don't think prohibition is the answer though, that clearly didn't work out the first time we tried it.

I'll take my caffeine over that. But you do make some good points about caffeine. Doesn't sound so appealing the way you describe it haha

yikes. That sucks.

lol those are the reasons I drink the stuff...

The the emotional control part in particular. The power to not care about anything for an hour helps me step back and not panic over every little thing.

The power not to care makes me say stupid shit I regret, didn't really mean to say, and fucks my life up. I don't like my life being more difficult than it needs to be.

But hey, if it works for you, then enjoy. It just doesn't work for me very well. I have a drink about once a month, usually because a friend is drinking too.
