I highly doubt either of you has actually done that.

nope. alcoholism develops based on brain chemestry and the users will power. you can become addicted chemically to cigarettes after smoking only 3 from a pack. this isn't to say you're going to start sucking dick for cigs after only smoking 3, rather your body will develop cravings for them. cocaine dependancy can develop after just 1 use. same with opiate dependancy on the higher-strengthed ones.

on the topic of chemical dependancies, i'd like to stress the severity of opiod dependancy. you are all growing up and being introduced to new things. opiates are NOT good. don't listen to what anyone says they fuck you permanently. the pathways they develop in your brain take years to break and through those years you'll be craving those drugs the entire time. please use some intelligence when experimenting.

the reason the dependancies can build up so fast is because they work on very important parts of your brain. alcohol, amphetamines, eating, gambling, ddr hell almost anything that makes you 'feel good' takes place at the dopamine receptor site in your brain. this is the reward system for your body that makes you say GEE I FEEL GRRRRRREEEAT! You know that feeling after taking a huge shit and walking away you're like "Damn! That was a damn fine shit! I feel so good!"? That's the same system that is used in drugs. How fast were you into ddr? Maybe 6 games? It's the same reward system and works in the same fashion, only stronger. Alcohol also inhibits gabba which is also very important. But that's a lesson for another day!

Whoa, just goes to show you how much I miss out on with that silly aversion to alcohol, cigarettes and all the other drugs that are out there nowadays. Why did I focus on silly things like classes and research in high school/college?

More seriously, though, thanks for setting me straight. Though I still don't understand how you can be a practicing alcoholic and a recovering alcoholic at the same time... unless you're recovering from being dry? Somehow I doubt that was what she meant, though.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

Well actually my sources are from others due to the fact that im only 18 but i have in fact done so. Where i live( near a small redneck town) almost anyone you ask would be willing to purchase the stuff for ya...

I dont like to admit to drinking so much but with society today i dont condone doing so because im pretty much being hypocritcal when saying openly that i do infact drink large amounts of alchohol, even ask Green Tea about my opinion on booze last summer...

Go to any AA meeting and you can either be a practicing or non-practicing alcoholic. So I am recovering, but I also am a practicing alcoholic. Lord knows I havent drank like I used to, so I like to say Im still recovering.

Fluffy while you doubt how much I can drink, neh I dont care if you believe me or not.
I unfortunatly drank a whole lot in highschool. Im not too proud of it. But I just remember being sober for MAYBE a total of two days a week. After I started dating Spazz he helped sober me up.

Ahhhh, okay, now I get it. I didn't realize the term had any sort of specialized meaning.

Well, that's always a good thing. Though I feel weird knowing that, and only that, about the fact that you two are dating. I seem to recall a fictional cynic observing that "People love you not for the person you are but for the person they are with you..."

Regardless, good luck on your journey - in all seriousness. I know I haven't been treating the subject that way, but that's not because it doesn't deserve it, it's just that I generally avoid treating things with seriousness. (Ask any one of the many people who hates me about this fact.

Drink absinthe...you can get drunk and abuse substance all at the same time!

Actually, in all honesty, it tastes horrible. Interesting stuff though.

I once drank three gallons of polish imported grain alcohol... Then I took down the communist regime and Abraham Lincoln stole my damn accomplishments. Talk about corrupt government

When i was in New Oleans the year before Katrina hit, i was at a museum and they had this picture of some american version of absinthe that was made because of the ban of it when they found the "bad" properties derived from the extracts of wormwort... then i later found the americanized stuff, and like everything else, it sucked.
