Yeah, it was pretty terrible. After that I kept it to only one or two Rockstars a night, although I still didn't get anything f**king done.

And yes, I know I'm a killjoy.

I once drank two giant cans of Amp before bed, but I fell asleep just the same.

Just saying man, all drugs from alcohol to weed to caffeine.
Too much is bad.

I once drank 3 big monsters in a short span and  I was up for 36 hours, partially because I was afraid to sit still. Felt bad man. You pretty much OD'd on caffeine Henry Tongue

One thats bad for you and potentially for those around. I'd say more so then weed.


A bit like these freaking celebs coming out with sex addiction. What a laugh! I think deep down it is a coke addiction but heck I always wonder what addiction is gonna crop up next.
 
Alcohol is a serious problem for sure.

Ha! Yeah sex addiction, that always gave me a laugh.
And not saying alcohol is as bad as coke, but really alcohol abuse can seriously mess you up.

Before I keep repeating, moderation is the key to all

Sex addiction is definitely a real thing, even if you don't like the terminology.

Wooow, I never stayed up even close to that long. I'm pretty sure I hit over 24 hours, but I definitely never hit even 48, good lord.

A bit over a year ago I was moving and I stayed up all night packing. The following morning I bought a box of dunkin donuts coffee for the movers and some donuts. They didn't touch the coffee or the food, so I at a box of donuts and drank seven cups of coffee and cherfully went to the movies (the new Star Trek.) When I left the theater I started to feel desperately hungry and on the subway ride home I came very close to losing consciousness. It was really scary. Drink coffee in moderation, kids.

I drink coffee and soda and alcohol, but have never had any problems at all with dependency. I guess I don't have that sort of personality.

It was more a mental thing Henry, like after feeling like I may die I was naturally buzzed. Obviously the actual drink didnt last for that long. Besides I did 30 hours once completely on willpower(stupidity).

It does have an effect on me though because I never drink coffee (llama its sooo nasty) and rarely soda. I don't have a caffeine tolerance!

I also find Amp quite delicious.
Not red bull though.


And yes, weed should be legalized...

I think I do, but it is probably from all the Excedrin Migraine I take.

It's the same as guns. The fact is that narcotics and alcohol do have a negative effect on the whole of society. You might not directly murder people through their use, but they are definitely negative. Don't give me that "Oh it's just for me, I can decide what goes in my body" nonsense, we all live on the same planet and in the same society. You messing yourself up is going to affect other people for the worse.
 
However my attitude is a bit like on the burqa. I don't really want it banned as prohibition doesn't work, but I'd like to see the human race outgrow alcohol/drugs. I'm pretty sure they never will though.
 
But if alcohol was discovered today, it'd never be legalised.


I like to see the human race outgrow criminalization of alcohol/drugs. That's where the seriously negative effects on society lies. I think you are the selfish one here, and not people that want to decide for themselves what to do with their own body. You seem to have no understanding or tolerance for people with different needs and preferances than yourself.
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Rocktopus: Left to their own devices, people make the wrong choices. Call me cynical but they do. It's why anarchy doesn't work. They're selfish and shortsighted. Wanting to get high, thus creating an environment where their minds and bodies don't function properly, paving the way for any number and type of disasters, is part of that.

Also, I think you don't understand what tolerance is Rocktopus. If you think something is genuinely harmful, and I think drugs and alcohol are genuinely harmful, opposing it is not intolerance. On the contrary it is a moral obligation to oppose things you believe to be dangerous. Tolerance is allowing things you find merely annoying/irritating to occur. Allowing things you believe are destructive and dangerous to occur isn't tolerance, it's stupidity and/or laziness.
