Ask Lemmy

smoking no. can't even handle being in a smokey area. Alcohol yes and decently enough when young. First drank after finals of freshman year at college. Would not touch a drop till classes were over and I had been successful in my first year. At that point I was underage and continued that pattern for awhile. Would only drink after finals each semester or when on break. Usually drank to excess if I did drink. Did see a point in being buzzed was looking to be drunk. Drank a bit less at dance clubs as I wanted to generally be nicely buzzed so like to the edge of drunk. Part of this was the cigarette smoke combined with all the movement making hangover and puking to be more likely if done to a full drunk state. As I got to adulting and more serious relationships that wound down. Partying just was less appealing. As an old fart now I still drink as does my wife (who also does not smoke or want to be around smoke) but very rarely. We bought some brandy to use with eggnogg one xmass out of nostalgia and it took years to empty the bottle and she used it in cooking and I was trying to use it. Similarly we have a vodka bottle going on a year or so. I said we have to limit to vodka because I want something that will last forever (maybe brandy will but vodka is basically grain alcohol with no real flavor so is more generally useful). That being said I can sometimes pickup some new product which I usually find disappointing. Basically my wife and I can drink multiple times a year or not at all and usually its around some social setting or with me when trump talks. I never got casual drug use. If I am going to use something I pretty much have to have time planned out to allow for partaking and recovering and going back to normal day to day. I use the term drugs but I have only used alcohol but if I did use others im sure it would be in the same way. Again my wife is like this to.
