My drunken stories were all relatively tame and boring.

I guess we all did "dares" once and mine was to go to the nearby 24/7 supermarket and buy a huge cucumber, a bottle of lube, and a Justin Bieber dvd I had to wear sunglasses and wasn't allowed to speak...

Likewise. We can’t all be wild and crazy like that. Part of me feels like alcohol beyond a few pints (I mostly only drink beer now) and the odd G. & T. (and by odd I really do mean a couple of times a year) is just a waste of time and better liver-functioning but at the same time I’m quite far from anything you’d consider teetotal or totally staid, even if it is mostly in moderation these days. What I will say is that people who are very pro-alcohol but firmly against psychedelics/ketamine (which have a lot of solid experimental backing for being effective alternative treatments for depression) and cannabis (when it’s augmented with CBD - as it should, because CBD and THC are supposed to supplement and mellow each-other out rather than be regarded in isolation in a way contrary to the actual science of the plant) are very hypocritical but that’s another discussion altogether. I won’t go into that but at the end of the day stuff like that is people’s individual business, not mine. Go crazy on the tequila shots and vodka over the weekend but don’t mock me because I tend to mostly stop at Birra Moretti. The only spirit I drink semi-regularly these days (on the weekend) is The Famous Grouse.
