	I've Never Done Drugs In My Life. Support Apolyton, buy Call to Power 2

Im 17 and Ive never smoked anything, drank anything alcoholic, nor have I ever snorted anything. I havent injected anything either, nor abused OTC medicine or RX Meds, nor inhaled/huffed anything. Im squeaky clean, so squeaky clean you could shine metal on me, and yet no one seems to appreciate it except myself. WTF? Drug free and proud my buttocks.

Shall I partake of an alcoholic beverage the next time my family...uh celebrates?

What does alcohol do anyway? How does it change your thought process?

Perhaps I should continue my life squeaky clean, what do you guys think?

(feel free to throw out any reason for the arguement one way or the other)

Alcohol changes your mind in that it makes all things seem very simple and straightforward. And it switches off most of your brain and you have to rely on your instincts to survive (and "hey I am good driver" is a bad instinct for that).

On the other hand for those who think a lot if something is good or not and if you should or not and blahblah it is a very welcomed change in that you just do it without thinking too much about it. And because I never did anything stupid I think this is quite okay :-)

Zigarettes are nice in that way that they give me a "drunk" feeling for about 5 minutes where everything in my head swirls and I feel very dizzy. Though I hate cigarettes so I do not smoke regularly. Just on some parties and occassionally when going out.
Nevertheless I think I feel a bit of an addiction already, but I wont be so stupid to start smoking regularly.

I think it doesnt matter if you try to stay clean or not. If you dont try it out someday you probably feel you have missed something and if that feeling outweighs the feelings for the good things you have done then you should probably be less restrictive.

I'm not sure of the exact chemical reactions and how alcohol interacts with the brain on a microscopic level but the basic effects are this. One drink: People feel at easy, they're a bit more talkative and open. A few drinks: People are generally louder and their aim/reactions are slowed a bit. Depending upon their personality type they are either 1) Happier and willing to laugh more easily or 2) brooding and withdrawing from conversation. It's the brooders you have to look out for because they're the ones who end up causing fights while drunk. A few more drinks: People are unsteady on their feet, their reactions a slowed even more and their aim is off that much more as well. Often times people will be sleepy. Several more drinks: He's now completely drunk, he has a hard time walking because his sense of balance is so bad, if he's really gone then he might be barfing or pissing himself. He has a hard time following even simple conversation, he's very tired, and he's probably been kicked out of the bar by now.

Instead you simply sit around for the rest of your life wondering what you missed. Life is best in moderation.

Whaleboy: Your joint isn't rolled correctly. You want to be able to suck air through it but you've twisted the ends so much I doubt you can. If you must roll then roll it like a cigie or better yet make/buy a pipe.

Or follow my advice and drop the weed and get a legal libation such as drinking.

It's twisted for transit so stuff doesn't come out of the top and the roach doesn't come out of the bottom. One burns the twisted paper away at the roach end, which works perfectly, then you cut/bite off some of the twisted paper at the top, leaving about a centimetre, light that so you get even burning at the top of the joint. That will burn nicely until the end. I use orange bud, strong quantity and golden virginia.

I dislike pipes, rolling it like a cigarette won't generally accomodate large amounts of skunk without obstructions, hence the conical shape. And let it never be said that I don't drink as well .

Unfortunately I have been drunk a few times and high on drugs once when the doctor gave me too much pain killer when I crashed my hanglider. You haven't missed anything but a life of misery interrupted by a supposed good time when you make a fool of yourself. Why would anyone want to be a fool? Stay straight. I have worked with teenagers for many years and I have seen nothing but a trail of tears from drug and alchohol use. I visit the kids in the instutions when their "friends" don't bother. But they are always there to offer them a joint when they are released. Stay away from the whole sceen. Anyone can be a follower of the crowd. Resist the temptation..

I too have never drank, smoked, toked, snorted, huffed, nor shot up. And I've been next to people who have done all those things while they're doing it (except huffing). I've just never been interested; peer pressure never worked on me like that, and the people around me have always known that. I can see myself drinking perhaps in the future, but I've little interest as it is so probably not. For better or worse, I don't regret it.

I have drinked beer and wine. I'm more of a wine drinker (mainly red wine). It is actually beneficial for your health in moderation. I drink socially. I never was pressured, but drink socially on my own terms. Sometimes I just get a coca-cola or just plain water because I'm not in the mood for alcohol. (And I can't drink legally in the US at any rate, not old enough yet)

I never done any illicit drugs as it is evil and destroys your brain (literally fries it). I have no sympathies for anybody who does drugs and I hope they get caught, doing a maximum sentence.

I am occasionally drunk.

Oerdin's description is fairly accurate, but there's also something that stroke me as really strange when I began drinking:

Once slightly drunk, my understanding of time was completely messed up. The things I just did seemed to belong to the past instead of the present. This makes a very strange feeling.
Also, I felt like I used my phyisical strength much more than when straight. I have however no idea whether it's true or not.

Being drunk can be funny if you're among cool friends who drink as well. The feeling of de-inhibition alcohol offers is refreshing if you're inhibited - in my case, it's especially comfortable when I'm speaking with Germans, as I always feel inadequate in this language, except after a few beers.
Also, the feeling of being rather slow, and quite clumsy, is a curiosity, although I generally consider it as a negative side effect, it's nice to have simply experienced it, to know how it feels.

Lastly, should you try and like alcohol, I strongly suggest you do some driving in completely non-dangerous circumstances (such as a big area without traffic nor obstacles), so that you know how much you suck at driving when drunk. I rode my bike drunk once, and that was when I understood I'll never touch a wheel after a mere drink.

According to law here in Italy, I'm not an underage drinker, fool. In fact, I don't drink in the US as I follow the law. The only time I do get to drink is here in Italy.
