This is true, you meet lots of people too and enhance your drinking experience. Also nice smoking under the stars

I don't have a real physical addiction but I've got some psychological problems with alcohol. Like it really can turn me into a different person who does insane things and I have blackouts and everything. Coming to terms with that is one of the biggest (ongoing) challenges of my life.

I think the most I ever smoked was maybe three packs in a night back when I was young dumb and tripping a lot. Lay on the ground on the top of a hill by an observatory with good friends while on mushrooms and watched the sky dance. Tripping epiphanies are incredible.

Actually, that "different person" is just who you really are, underneath your inhibitions. The alcohol isnt turning you into a different person, it's just unleashing your true nature

I think it's kind of cool to be like," Smoking is worth $$$ to me and I'm not paying a penny more for the pleasure." and then actually stick to that.
