They don't call it liquid courage for nothing. I love dancing when I'm tipsy, it's really fun

Nothing in particular. Just if you enjoy the sensation of being high, whatever the substance.
I've never done coke personally, so I can't say. I wouldn't mind trying it at least once in my life, just to understand what the experience is like.
Just as you said, I'm not too keen based on its reputation for being addictive.

What's your favorite type of alcohol?

It causes a lot of problems so I wouldn't recommend it really.. but yeah, the high is good.. just doesn't last long.

Kind of a difficult question...
If I am with people, say at a pub or something, I'd much rather be drinking than be high. But I've also gotten sick and been hungover one too many times...
Being high though just puts me straight to sleep, so it is hard to be social.
If I am by myself I would rather just be sober.

'High' is a bit too general. I hate being stoned, but loves me some uppers

I prefer high over drunk in just about every case. Opposite when I was in my 20s.

If you enjoy being drunk that means you're an alcoholic and you should prolly seek help. Getting high also can mean a lot. Some are safe and good, others are a huge issue to your health. You can enjoy life being free of both as well fyi.

There is a HUGE variance when it comes to being “high”. Some things amp you up. Some things calm you down. Some are relaxing. Some make things more intense. I was a really big opiate guy years ago. Had some trouble with it until a kicked a few years ago.
That said, there’s no question I enjoyed being high more than being drunk. Opiates to me were like all the good parts of being drunk (feeling happy, talkative, comfortable) without most of the (short term) negatives (feeling slow, stupid, clumsy).
Obviously there are consequences. I lived them and they far outweigh the positives. But if I had to choose which feeling I liked more, it’s not even close.

Just answer the question lol

thinks Halo Infinite is a new graphical benchmark
You expect to get enlightenment from being high, from being drunk it’s attributed to drunk driving and getting an Uber.

I’m a smoker, not a drinker.
CBD > THC > psilocybin mushrooms >>>>>> pretty much every other drug that isn’t psychedelic
1 glass of wine or beer is nice, I don’t like effects of being anything more than slightly buzzed from alcohol.
never touched hard substances and don’t plan on it.

Full disclosure: due to life stressors I'm approaching (or have been) an alcoholic for a couple years now. 2020 made a bad situation even worse. I'm thankful for my family and everything I have.
I have always smoked weed and enjoyed it, but to me drinking is something to only be done in a social environment (like weekends, bbqs, etc)... Drinking has brought me no enjoyment when done on a regular basis.
I wish I could be the normal "have a beer after work" guy but when I drink its always "drink everything in the fridge".

Getting a pump on is awesome. But that's in the day time when you work out

No. Don’t be ridiculous. Do you know what an alcoholic is? More than half of adults like to be drunk sometimes. They aren’t all alcoholics.

That's exactly the excuse an alcoholic would use. Being drunk is not something anyone should enjoy. Drinking alcohol or being drunk are two different things. It's fine to enjoy alcohol, but getting wasted like a fucking idiot and loving it means you have issues.

I guess I have a different definition of drunk than you do. Being drunk to me is just more drinks than I would have at dinner. Being drunk in the right circumstances is a good time. At a tailgate, for example. Or at a resort with friends. Being drunk is different than being a blackout mess. Being drunk means you aren’t safe to drive, for example. If you think anyone who enjoys drinking enough to be unsafe to drive is an alcoholic… that’s pretty stupid.

I drink, probably 5-6 glasses (mostly whiskey) a week on average. But I wouldn't say I enjoy being drunk, slightly tipsy is fun but drunk is just exhausting.
Never been high, had 3 pot brownies ones that seemed to have no effect on me (though plenty on the other three partaking) and haven't given it another try since, I'm told it's not uncommon to not feel anything on the first try so who knows but I have no burning desire to try again. Probably "Don't know what I'm missing"

Never been either, music can make me feel pretty buzzed at the right moments, hard work with it's finished and my brain fizzles... But yeah i don't source good feelings from those places.. i mean spending a high percentage of my free time playing games is counter productive enough lol

Time is never wasted if you’re wasted all the time.

I'm surprised how many people prefer high over drunk. I guess it's easier on the body, healthier, and easier to maintain a weed habit. Not everyone can handle getting plastered 7 nights a week while maintaining a high stress job (not that I know anything about that).

No one is talking about getting wasted, my guy. What you're describing is a very extreme case lol
The literal sensation of being inebriated off alcohol, or drunk is something billions of people enjoy.
I may be wrong here but simply enjoying the sensation doesn't inherently make you an alcoholic, it's the dependency that does, no?
Is the chastising really necessary? We're just chatting no need to kill the vibe.

I was high once. Worst feeling ever! I'm always in a good mood when I drink. Once a couple months is all I can stomach.

and you eventually get the dreaded Affleck fat head. Alcohol actually makes your head enlarged with prolonged use. Also known as the Alec Baldwin effect.
