Am I missing out by not drinking?

[SandyCat]

Semi serious question for once. I dont know any drinking fans to ask this question in person so im hoping my fellow drunk kiwis can help me out. And I'm not talking about Ethan ralph levels of drinking, im referring to drinking in general.

For context I never drank before in my entire life. Just never felt a reason to. I've also had the worry of becoming reliant on it as a way to drown out my constant passive anxiety which caused me to shy away but I've always wondered if I'm mising out

Or do I just skip straight to injecting whole marijuanas?

I only drink socially, or if they're available I may have a Mike's Hard or cider or two at home in the evening because it tastes good and unwinds me a bit/helps me go to sleep. Sometimes I go months without drinking because nothing is around that I want or because I haven't been to any social events. I don't buy it because it's not worth the cost.

Getting drunk and losing your social inhibitions can be fun, but hangovers the next day are a fucking bitch. The more fun you decide to have with alcohol, the more you're going to have to pay it back in hangover pain or possible regrettable choices later.

So ultimately, no you're not missing anything.

Oh I forgot to mention,

If you do decide you want to actually experience getting drunk, make sure to drink LOTS of water while you do it. Dehydration is one of the main reasons people get nasty hang overs.

If you want to experience getting drunk(its perfectly normal, even our monkey ancestors were getting drunk on rotten fruit), I would recommend trying 3 drinks in an hour if you are about 200 lbs. It takes about an hour and a half for the body to metabolize one drink. 4 drinks over the course of two hours should get you decently buzzed but have no hangover if you drink lots of water. I wouldn't recommend more then that if you have never drank before or don't drink on a regular basis.

You're missing out on singing Stevie Nicks songs at karaoke and almost fucking a fat "witch" but her pussy stench makes you puke and you flee through the alley.

That's Monday night.
