My IQ seems a lot lower yet at the same time, I can still remember a lot of things! It’s weird that way! Well, they say it's easier to be happier the dumber you are. ;D Hope you're being careful.  |

I am drunk for the very first time today! Damn, I feel so lazy. Everything is so much harder to do when your drunk., but everything is sooo fine! it’s a totally fun feeling! I feel like I can talk to anyone without being shy! I laugh at the stupidest things, can barely lift my arms, have almost no energy to stand up or walk. My IQ seems a lot lower yet at the same time, I can still remember a lot of things! It’s weird that way! amazing! you type so well too! don't forget to take two aspirin before you crash. |

I think the buzz worn off an hour ago. It was nearing the end as I was typing that with maybe an hour left at most. I was able to see and comprehend what I wrote but I had horrible aim writing on the keyboard though I was able to correct the typos for the most part. I don’t think I will have any hangover because I only had 5 beers and 3 shots in a 3.5 hour span. I had chicken wings and pizza in during that time and am a big, tall guy. So even though this is my first time getting buzzed, and probably only my 4th or 5th day of drinking at least 1 full beer, it would still take a lot to get me drunk and even more for a hangover. I think it took me 3.5-4 beers to even start to get me buzzed. I was not even sure I was drunk though then though I noticed myself getting increasingly lazy which is really abnormal to whom I really am because I am anything BUT lazy in real life. Then I downed 3 shots with an additional beer I drank while drinking each of the shots to wash off that awful taste. After the first shot, I noticed my voice getting all surly and I had a lot of trouble pronouncing words. When I was getting up to walk to the bathroom, I felt like a huge unstable tree ready to collapse at any minute. I also noticed that I said stuff I would not have said while I was drunk and pretty much had no defense mechanism stopping me with paranoid thoughts causing me not to talk. I had a designated driver drive me home and was still able to navigate the directions to him. I suppose I was buzzed but not buzzed enough to be the “Barney Gumble” type drunk. Haha. I was cautious not to drink to much because I would puke it up; that would have been no fun. I remember saying, “you know, I am buzzed but I am still drinking more beer. You know what I mean?” too bad about booze, so effective at reducing anxiety, yet how many things can you do when you're drunk? can't drive, can't work, can't stay awake, ...it sucks, and not in a good way...temporary cure at best. if they ever come up with a pill that can reduce anxiety as well as alcohol, without all the negative side-effects...then they'll really have something! geez, you'd think if they could get to the moon...  |

geez, you'd think if they could get to the moon... That's the sort of thing I keep thinking about! There are all these crazy things human society is capable of, but what they can do to help the mind-- so close to home!--is not a whole lot.  Granted, the brain is really really complex... But I'm pretty sure I'd be willing to give up the moon in favor of sure-fire cures for our mental ailments. |

Like you say, the brain is really, really complex. Physics is relatively easy except for quantum stuffy. Relatively - get it? hahahahaha *sigh* Also you can't test on people in the same way you can on say propulsion etc. Stupid ethics, they always get in the bloody way.  @ethics I do think that the amount of money spent on NASSA could be better spent on other research though. Unfortunately money doesn't guarantee results, it's not like Civilisation or Masters Of Orion but hey, every little bit helps I guess. However you can always argue there are even more important things to spend it on. Like cake and Guiness. Maybe the homeless and the starving..... nah Guiness. P.s I just got buzzed too. It was only the intercom though. |

(vallium, xanax, etc.) about as close as your goona get to taking the easy way out hehe |

They have, its called cocaine. A long time ago, before it was illegal it was used by soldiers during the war to relieve stress. However its like putting yourself into overdrive and leads to serious problems if abused.

Getting drunk does work so well for shyness. But then the next day, u just feel worse. When I get drunk out with friends from work, it's so embarassing knowing they've seen me all loud and shouting and everything, when normally i'm like a mouse.

I tend to get very drunk every 3 or 4 months & become the total opposite of myself - an outgoing social maniac who doesn't care about his behaviour or how anyone else sees me.
The last time I got drunk I think I had alcohol poisoning - I couldn't even keep water down for 18 hours after the event. My body was trying to be sick when my stomach was empty.
Anyway, I can hardly stomach alcohol at all now. I have been sick so many times in the past few years that it's no longer fun and even if it makes you more outgoing for a few hours it just doesnt seem worth it. There's also the fact that alcohol can induce depression or make it worse.

i've only had a sip or two of alcohol in my life. that must seem weird to a lot of people. i kinda seems weird even to me.
i'm addicted to caffeine, anyways. when i'm totally wired, i tend to be a little more talkative and outgoing.
