Dinner and Metallica is a novel approach.

Quote from DJGrenola:
yeah I'm out of alcohol now

Probably for the best really.
well I haven't drunk since 2003 so yeah
Alcohol is disgusting.  I hate it, and I hate drunk people.  This is why I tend to avoid bars.  I can't stand the way it makes people act like retards.  I don't understand why people aren't totally embarrassed from being in public in such a sorry state. 
That's the thing. It makes you not care. Giving in makes you not care about how you appear giving into your own idiocy. It's nice.
I spose if you're inherently a dick you'll be a drunk dick but if your a nice person then you'll just be more comedic and laughably charming or something.

Being able to stumble around like a moron and not feel shame, A Nice Thing.

Yeah I understand the capacity to not care while one is intoxicated, but what about later on when they sober up?  Why do they not recall their behavior and feel humiliated?
One shall stand, one shall ball.
Because every little sounds makes it feel like their head is exploding.

Then they get drunk again to make that go away.
What's worse in terms of behavior, though, drunks or people who get high on hard drugs like coke or meth?
One shall stand, one shall ball.
Those drugs are largely looked discouraged by society due to their effects though, alcohol is not. That's a pretty key difference.
Well, that's only because alcohol is part of cuisine. Those drugs aren't.

Almost happy
Alcohol is fun. It makes me able to talk to people I haven't already known for a long time, and fills me with a general feeling of happiness and giddiness, which can be pretty nice.

Alcohol is also absolutely horrible, of course. But not for me.

I would say it is much more due to alcohol being a part of our culture for thousands of years, while those drugs have not. It's a tired saying that alcohol would almost definitely be illegal if it was discovered today, but it's true non the less.

Oh, I see, yeah that totally makes running people over okay. Thank God for food.

It's actually mandatory if you live in California. True story.

Okay, Persona 3 has got to be the hardest game for me to critique yet. It's so bipolar...

Alcohol - hands down.  I should know - I have done every drug out there, many to excess, and have spent a lot of time around others who do the same.  There is no other drug out there that intoxicates to the level that alcohol does. Blackouts?  Come on.  There's also something particularly evil about alcohol's effect in that it somehow makes the user not realize that they are intoxicated.  They actually think they can drive, or otherwise pass for sober when they can hardly stand up!  You don't see that with other drugs.  Alcohol is the nastiest thing out there.
Heh, guess that's why it's called "Liquid Courage"
red chamber dream
um ... alcohol is not nastier than, say, dope, no matter how you put it.
red chamber dream
i mean you may have had bad experiences with it but that doesn't make your experiences universally true
That still doesn't deny the fact that it's the most abused drug at least here in the states and the biggest cause of drug-related deaths.
red chamber dream
oh i agree with that

I don't know, I think there is a case to be made that it's worse just based on availability and acceptability. The negative aspects are downplayed much more heavily than with other drugs.
