The 2nd Annual Christmas & New Years Drunk Thread 2010! NSFW

Are Four LOKO really that hard to find? I just bought one from the liquor store here in town. They looked like they were still pretty well stocked. And they were only $1.99. Have I stumbled across a holy grail?

EDIT: I'm currently in Wisconsin. If that does anything for ya.

 

Someone brought a bottle of Jim Beam Red Stag to my Christmas party. It's pretty gross. I've tried a bunch of different mixers, and the only remotely palatable combination is 50/50 booze and ginger ale. It tastes like a rancid Shirley Temple, but Gandalf just fucked up the Balrog, so I'll deal with it.

You shall pass, you cheap, crappy, cherry-flavored Flame of Udun. Through my stomach and liver and out of my penis. And then never again will you travel over my lips. Unless you're for free. Again.

They're like sex with a 16-year-old. Only legal in a handful of states, but still widely and rightfully frowned upon.

 

An ad on Craiglist in my area:

And people buy it.

 

People make money off this stuff? I have it because it makes my friends and I retarded for cheap.

 

And totally worth it!

 

They still sell that shit in Florida. Before I came home a couple weeks ago, my roommate bought like 8 cans of that shit. And another friend of mine bought an entire case off of ebay or something for normal retail price. I guarantee if they both sold that shit in a couple months they could make at least 3x what they paid.

The only time I bought it was for my roommate, and I had to apologize to the cashier who had a good laugh when I told her I don't drink liquid crack.

 

Think I'll buy a flat or 2 tomorrow morning. When in Rome...

 

Yes. It's well worth it. But get the Glenlivet 18 year if you want to impress.

 

I'll just leave this here.

 

fuck you nebraska.

 

I'm a little late to the pro-weed party but I will say this, I think we can all agree there are some things in life everyone should experience because they are experiences worth having. Included in this list would be everything from seeing the eiffel tower to listening to Sgt. Peppers. I would also include on this list a few things weed related. Getting ripped and: 1) Eating a clementine, pomegranate, any very juicy fruit, 2) Sex. Indescribably amazing. 3) Several songs and albums.

Smoking weed really affected the way I listen to music and I would go as far as to say there is a lot of music I would have never learned to appreciate and enjoy without weed, and no I'm not just talking about Pink Floyd and other typical "stoner" music.

For those who have tried it and haven't really enjoyed it, I would recommend trying smoking by yourself. After my long career of getting high, I've now reached a point where I realize weed (for me, at least) is best when smoked by myself, at night when you know you've got some time where you don't need to do anything important. For me (not sure if this happens to everyone) my mind goes into overdrive when I'm high and I start overanalyzing everything. This isn't really a good place to be in social situations, especially around new people. I tend to become really quiet and anti-social.

When I'm alone, sometimes I like to read nerdy blogs and articles and weed genuinely helps me think more deeply about them. In fact the ideas for my senior thesis and the research project I'm working on for my PhD both came to me when I was high. The reason stoners have a bad rap about saying stupid shit when they're high is that most people are generally dumb and when people like this start thinking deeply about things, the come up with stupid shit. But if you surround yourself with a subject you know about, weed can make you very effective at generating original thought and thinking outside the box.

When I don't feel like thinking about shit, I'll just put on a funny show or movie and just enjoy laughing my tits off.

Also for newbies to weed, I would recommend smoking much less than you see people smoking. 2-3 hits really is a decent high. Weed has become more and more potent over the years and smoking a whole blunt to your face will only make you feel like a psychotic. Of course, tolerance differs from person to person and by experience.

Wow, all that makes me sound like a huge stoner, but really I smoke maybe once every 2 weeks and it's in such small quantities, this past fall semester an 1/8 lasted me all semester with a good amount left over.

 

I smoke just about daily.

It lightens me up, sober PIMPTRESS is a tightly wound ball of stress. I quit smoking cigarettes and started smoking more pot, with fantastic results.

I smoke before I go for a run. Not stupid stoned, just one or two hits. I get the best endorphin/THC buzz once I get going.

I do the same before I write a paper, keeps me focused and have damn good grades.

I should NOT get stony before I go shopping, doesn't really work out right...

 

I only smoked pot maybe once a week until my accident. Afterwards first, I used it as a stress deterent, but found it worked wonders on the migraines I was getting from my head injury. However, I hardly use that as an excuse for smoking it everday for nearly a decade now. It's not just a "medicine" for me. It helps me unwind, loosens me up, it helps me sleep, but also helps open doors in my head while I'm writing. I keep it awar from my daughter and I'm never stoned while she's awake.

Never, EVER get baked before you go grocery shopping. Cardinal rule.

Well tonight is the Endgame for year MMX, kids. What's on the drinking menus for this evening? This thread all comes down to this.

 

I may not play. My man is in California with his family, my kids are going to their dad's and I have to get up at 5:30 in the morning.

 

Well, that sucks. At least you were a bigger presence on here than you said you were going to be. Kudos.

Since its NYE, we need entertainment. May I suggest a gun fight between Chaka Khan and the Bee Gees?

 

I might have a drink or two with my people, it's what Jesus would do.

 

Yesterday the movers came and picked up all my shit. I came over to my parents' for the next 6 days before I fly to Texas. This will probably be a week completely sober, as my parents don't drink, and I'm not sure I'm going to make it more than a couple days without going postal. They just had their dog fixed, so they spend most of the time yelling at her not to run or jump, which is quite pleasant. I mentioned I was looking at some new shoes for work, and my mother has spent the last hour talking to herself while looking online for shoe sales. Meanwhile, many of my friends are in Atlanta for the Peach/Chick Fil-A Bowl, which would be considerably more enjoyable.
Conclusion: I'm picking up at least a 6-pack when I get food for the bowl games.

 

Maybe I will go to the local dive bar and sing karaoke. That sounds like it might get entertaining..
