I don't drink very often and when I do I won't get drunk... but I will smoke while having a drink although it does make me sleepy after the alcohol buzz wears off...
I think I drank enuf in my younger years to last me a long time... alcohol tends to make people do or say things they regret later....

There was one year i quit smoking weed for a job. I became a boozehound just because i was so bored with all the extra time and needed something to do at night...besides...sex is much better high than drunk as i found out.

I gave up drinking over 20 years ago, when the hangovers started lasting two days. I drank enough in my youth to last most people a lifetime anyway. I don't really care to be around most drunks at this point in my life. It's not amusing or funny anymore. Being around a bunch of stumbling, beligerant and loud people just isn't my bag.

I put "I don't like alcohol to begin with" which is correct, but I did like alcohol a while back in my younger days. I would combine the two all the time --- mostly smoking first and then drinking to avoid the dreaded whitey's that are common when toking while drunk. I worked for 10 years in bars, so alcohol was always around and I drank a fair bit of it quite often.
I never had a problem with alcohol in terms of addiction, but when you work in a bar long enough and remain sober while those around you are getting drunker and drunker you really see the effects. I also didn't like the effects on myself (not remembering what I did, acting in ways completely contrary to my character, etc.). I haven't had any booze for about 4 years now and for the 10 years prior to that I drank rarely and mostly very moderately.
I guess the best way I would put the difference between the two is: alcohol can make you stupid; whereas pot can make you appear stupid. Fine line of a distinction there, but it really is two worlds apart.

Hell yeah !!
I'm trying to stop alcohol (since 2 weeks lol), not that i'm drinking a lot, but here in france with students it's hard not to follow they others in their binge drinking, especially when i don't have any weed !
I'm slowly finding out that i had enough alcohol for parties, and it's time to go on with my favorite soft drug ^^

Everything in moderation! Of course if you are a alcoholic it can be hard to do that. To some folks, there is no middle ground between one or no drinks and passed out shitty drunk. I tend to drink slowely, and not treat it like a party drug, I've never really abused alcohol to the point where I can't remember, or woke up in jail.
That said, there is nothing more relaxing than toking on a good bowl, and sipping a good cold beer or a glass of fine wine or a alcoholic smoothy on the porch after a hard day. Alcohol, like Cannabis is a fine substance for responsible heallthy adults to consume.

Hey CD, Some people can handle their alcohol, others cannot. Glad you're in control. I'm sure most of us have seen the loud mouthed drunks at the bar who spray everything they say while talking three times louder than needed. Thats what I was refering to. It's just not a pleasant environment for this stoner.
Peace!

This is my position basically. btw the two go very well together. A perfect meal:
One or two 70% cocoa chocolate bars (or three or four...?)
a bowl of ripe, red cherries
a tall glass of iced tea or coffee
Several hits off the vaporizer
There's something about this combination that places me in happy land.
Now interpreting the poll, it looks like the overwhelming majority do not mix cannabis with weed.
Also, a majority do not drink at all. They either quit drinking after finding weed, or don't like drinking period.
The poll seems evenly split between two factions, those that hate drinking, and those that combine drinking with pot.
I think those that combine, are looking for stupefication. That is, they seek oblivion. This might be true of someone that is distressed by events and wants to forget everything. Like when I was a teenager, I would drink 4-5 beers, then get high at the same time. This combination turned me into a zombie for a couple hours...sometimes I went to sleep, other times just spaced out...
Those that only do marijuana, are looking for a headier, trippier high - a buzz that keeps one awake, conscious and thinking. An adventure into the inner space, a nice vacation from reality.
Am I just speaking for myself, or do other people agree?
btw I'm high right now
wasnt the exact poll option for me so i picked number 1.....drank like a fish for 13 years or more but smoking weed for around 20 years now....quit drink full stop 3 1/2 years ago...never thought i would stop? not interested anymore sorta anti drinking now .....drink more coffee and smoke more cigs than b4 thou i recon ....still 3 1/2 years later i still have nightmares that i got drunk the night before ....the 1st years dreams were the worst.....i feel these days im a calmer person thou the depression is still there which is why i started drinking and why i stopped drinking (was told by docs drink = depression....not true for me!).....now i just need to stop smoking cigs......soon.HH. =]-~

I enjoy to smoke an have 2 beers. Or to sip on some warm whiskey. But, pretty much alchol is a rotten ass substance.
Well, most people I know who smoke Cannabis also drink, some of them in great excess.zeeba amoeba said:

As for the theory about stupefication, I do find that a beer or two does multiply the relaxation properties of Cannabis, and I admit my primary use for both Cannabis and alcohol is medicinal, both for muscle pain(my job is very physical), and emotional relaxation. I would not say it is a goal of stupefication, I'd call it relaxation. I rarely alow myself to become drunk, especially in social situations where it would impare my ability to communicate and stay awake.
I mostly grow and consume strong Indicas, for the properties that are conductive to relaxation after work.
Now, when I am engaged in recreational activities, like hiking and fishing, alcohol use is kept to a minimum, to keep my mind focused on the activities. In this case I go for a strain that is heady, something that helps you appreciate nature, and find enlightenment from it.
But I would not lable all alcohol drinkers as unenlightend drunks and alcoholics, you don't need to get drunk to enjoy alcoholic drinks.

HH.... I quit drinking 7 1/2 years ago...and had one of those dreams just the other night. You are correct that the ones in the beginning are more frequent, but they tend to subside the longer that you stay sober. I do find, however, that the higher my stress level is....the more likely that I am to have a bad dream.
I quit smoking cigs about 5 years ago, and that was tougher than quitting drinking....much tougher. I wish you luck with that!
~~~
Alcohol and Tobacco are poison.
Like alot of other people.... I drank for 15 years, heavily, until I ended up where I didn't want to be. Smoking cigs went hand in hand with the booze.
But I was one of the ones that couldn't just have one or two drinks....WTF good would that do? That's just priming the pump.
Social drinking was not in my vocabulary, if I started drinking.....I fully intended on getting shitfaced. In fact, my roomate at the time used to urge me to smoke more pot, so I would eat more. Once I would start drinking...I just wouldn't eat. Not the best way to live a healthy life.
Had to make a lifestyle change.....and did.
I don't have any problems if other adults want to drink alcohol...none at all.
If you want to poison yourself, by all means have at it.....but I've had my fill...thanks.
The only problem I have is if someone gets a little drunk and wants to get "friendly".... I don't like it when someone gets in my face with their stinking breath and wants to be loud.
Even if they do mean well.....I just won't tolerate that behavior.
These days, I've found everything that I need, in the love of my life......Maryjane.
Damn....I love you girl.

i personally only drink good wine during some kind of gatherings behind the table with family or friends, drink about 2-3 glasses
for new year I drink about the same 2-3 glasses of champagne
considering my main business is selling information about nutrition, alcohol is a substance that your body does everything to get out of your system, and all the digestion comes to a halt once alcohol is in the body
considering this, alcohol, should be consumed in small amounts, once in a while, at least if your health is important to you
smoke cannabis only once I a while, except for when in holland, where I love to do coffeeshop crawls....lmao
