If you really want to get kids not to do drugs, just show them TCC.

My brother had to do an anti-drug unit for the kids he teaches and I suggested he just make them watch "Requiem for a Dream".

He didn't, but I stand by the suggestion.

Sometimes I slightly kind of regret avoiding drinking because there're (presumably) so many flavors out there to experience. But now that I think about it, the most common thing I hear when people talk about alcohol is how much they hate the flavor of X.

I mean, there are a poo poo load of flavors and it can be very fun to sample a lot of stuff, but for me there's always the burning lovely taste of highly concentrated alcohol that accompanies it. There's some mostly high end stuff that actually is smooth and nice to me, but it's hard to find.

If you mix it as I said, as in gin and tonic, or whisky soda, or basically anything that dilutes it a bit, it can taste very nice. I once drank with a guy who has bigly into gin and tonic and he let me try a bunch of fancy gins that all tastes vastly differently, it blew my mind.

Don't let the ghost of flavors undrunk influence you tho, if you don't like it then more Power to you, it's ultimately not healthy in any case.

Yeah, I've already made it this far in life without it.

But also, the fact that you need to mix it with stuff to make it palatable speaks volumes. I'll just drink the mix-ins on their own.

That said, paying $7 for Sprite with some grenadine sucks. It's good though.

I learned how to make that from nail polish remover in TCC. (not joking)

The most dangerous part was the extremely narrow dosage window. Good times otherwise.

Which I have also sampled, obviously.

Yeah I wasn't asking for tragic life destroying stories, just funny stuff like embarrassing poo poo people did while blacked out that didn't really hurt anyone.

When I was in college I knew a few people who'd get blackout drunk and jump in front of cars or smash poo poo and run screaming into the night and later we'd figure out they'd actually drunk maybe one whole can of Coors

my second time ever drinking was at a mexican place doing margarita monday and i was like 'wow i can't taste booze in these huge glasses at all! i'll have more!' and that's how i ended up puking in the bushes along a main street in the middle of southern california summer evening yet somehow not getting picked up for public intoxication. no idea how i'd have made it back to my friend i was visiting's place if he hadn't been there with me :barf:

this is very boring but i do find it amusing in hindsight so i'm making GBS threads the thread up

I feel like 2/3rds of people have a "second time drinking" story more or less like this one because your body hasn't recognized alcohol as poison just yet and you don't have a good mental model for how to drink safely. I drank a shitload of vodka the second time I drank for similar reasons, and had to figure out how to get into my parent's house without being seen because I was shirtless after throwing away my puke-covered t-shirt.
