Poll: Fine cigars and alcohol.

[HSIAMetalKing]

I smoke cheap-ass cigars and weed. As far as alcohol goes... I'm not a huge fan, but when I do drink, I just take what I can get.

 

[mshcherbatskaya]

Fine cigars and alcohol? Where are the alcohol options in the poll? I'll have a Glenlivet with 2 ice cubes please.

*looks at bottle of Glenlivet on desk and grins*

I'm with you mate. Fine single malt scotch FTW.

Actually, Balvenie Doublewood is my preferred, but most bars don't have it. Glenlivet, on the other hand, is always there.

I love a glass of red wine, whether being in the pub, or at home, playing games! Or maybe just to sit, and watch TV or read in some dim lighting (light enough to read comfortably and dark enough to be atmospheric)

 

[vamp rocks]

I only smoke Cubans so I haven't smoked in a while.

hmmm i appreciate you holding out until you get cubans... but even some times settling for lesser cigars can be an 'okay' substitute.

If I'm at a party and decide tonight's my night to get good and ripped, it's got to be Jack Daniels and Coke. I don't know why tequila gets such a bad rep for being the "oh my god, what did I do last night?" liquor. Most of my really stupid alcohol-related behavior has been courtesy of Jack.

 

[r4ndom]

ok... for some reason i cant quote people any more... at any rate r4ndom i was going to say that in my opinion gordons is okay... but i prefer Bombay Saphire gin.. anyone else with me??

Yeah i'm a fan of Bombay Sapphire myself, just got a long relationship with Gordon's and I feel somehow endebted to it for getting me through my whiskey/vodka periods. I have two large bottles sitting with me now, one from the US and one from UK.

Brecon Gin is a handsome tipple, it's from Wales (as am I) so quality is assured Also, for a different gin experience, try 'Whitley Neill', it's good stuff.

Now if only I could make my OWN gin.....

Hmph.Iron Ninja cigars are clearly superior

Indeed they are!
I've honestly never smoked, though if I did I'd go straight to Cigars. If you're gonna destroy your lungs you might as well do it in style.

I've also never done drugs of any kind (and don't ever plan to change that)

But I continously drink (anything) until I have run out of bottles. I have drunk a whole cooler full of cans of expired beer, which isn't as bad as it sounds (Note, I drank from the cans, not the cooler)

Sorry to have to break this to ya son, but alcohol is one of the most potent and debilitating drugs in existence. Didn't mean to shatter the drug-free image you painted for yourself though =/

I was aware of that when I wrote it, I'm suprised no one called me out on it sooner.
I don't smoke and I don't do any drugs, but I'm an alchoholic. I didn't say "yay go me! I'm super clean!" or anything did I?

My intention wasn't to insult you personally or imply that you weren't 'clean', I was only pointing out the fact that as an alcoholic you DO use drugs, and that drug is alcohol. Just because it's legal and you drink it doesn't mean that it isn't a drug. So, yes, you are in fact a drug user.

Did that come off as sounding angry? Sorry, it wasn't supposed to.
I know that alchohol is considered a drug, but I'm addicted to alchohol, that's bad enough, I'm not going to make it worse with more drugs.

Edit: But yes, you are right, Alchohol=Drug.

 

[BlueMage]

I don't smoke per se, but I have been known to indulge in a shisha every now and then (very occasionally - like once every six months). However, I intend to smoke a cigar after my final exam tomorrow evening.

I also don't drink much (losing weight) but when I do, dry gin martini please, and the good gin, not that crappy stuff.

Weed = Fun times.
Alcohol = Fun times.

Weed + alcohol = HELLZ YEAH. That stuff messes you up.

Which is good ... how?

Nah, I just find it annoying when people refuse to lump alcohol in with drugs (a huge factor in the failure to legalize marijuana in most countries). For most people, alcohol is not considered a drug - rather, it's just a drink that makes you act funny. I always get angry when someone criticizes me for smoking pot and being a drug user (not that you were) and then head to the bar for a good drunkening. I mean, if you're going to rate drugs in terms of potency and fuckupery, marijuana is certainly not going to be high on that list. Smoking marijuana has never caused me to lose my ability to go to school, study, drive, work, or anything else really. Alcohol on the other hand, after the 5-6 drink mark, will for most people render those activities impossible or at the very least highly inadvisable. The fact that alcohol is winked at and marijuana is demonized boils my blood to no end, so I take every chance I get to jump on those who say things like "I drink alcohol but I don't use drugs" because this attitude is one of the driving forces behind the marijuana prohibition mentality. No offense though.

Really? I find it impossible to even feel weed after drinking. I avoid smoking pot while drunk for no other reason than I feel that it's a waste of weed, since alcohol is a much stronger drug. Plus I smoke pot daily, which i'm sure has something to do with that. For me though, smoking weed while drinking alcohol is like drinking a Mikes Hard Lemonade after a half gallon of vodka - not even worth the time or money.

I do view Alchohol in the same light as other drugs really, I just responded like they weren't since that was the way I read the question in the thread. If I wasn't an alchoholic I wouldn't touch booze either anyway. I don't think very highly of anyone who uses them by choice (no offence meant, no seriously I'm not being sarcastic, the last time I said 'no offence meant' someone took offence and I got put on probation).

Are you suggesting that it's not your choice to drink?

 

[The Iron Ninja]

I try not to. but I'm somewhat addicted, it's generaly refered to as being an alchoholic. I've used the word a few times in this thread already (no offence meant, my tone is not angry)

Yeah, but you said you don't think highly of people who use drugs 'by choice', and you're saying that it's not really your choice because your addicted? That's nonsense. I'm addicted to tobacco, weed, and formerly alcohol, and it is all my choice to continue using those drugs. If I truly wanted to stop, all I would have to do is make the choice to stop. There are reformed drug addicts all over the world who will tell you that drug use is a choice, whether you're addicted or not. Despite what our PC-culture likes to say about alcoholism, it is a choice, it is not a disease, and it's not an excuse

 

[The Iron Ninja]

Thanks, that sure makes me feel better about my addiction.
