What are your drinking habits (as a stoner)?

if you drink alcoholic beverages at all, what are your drinking habits? and how does smoking herb come into play?

first of all, if i were to ever have to choose between weed and alcohol for the rest of my life, i would definitely choose to smoke weed only. and i love beer. I LOVE IT!!! i really like wine, too. but it's not even really a choice for me regarding weed vs. alcohol.

i just came back from happy hour at one of my favorite bars and i hadnt smoked any weed before i went. this is unusual for me, but it makes me realize that i dont really like the feeling of just drinking beer, aka having alcohol in my system (i dont drink hard liquor that often. i do, but, long story...). i didnt even drink all that much, and i totally feel the 'poison' in me (alcohol). we all know that doesnt happen with weed.

and i do drink my fair share of beer, but wisely. if i know i'm going to be really gettin' down to business and puttin' away some beers, then i ALWAYS make sure i smoke beforehand. not too much, but just enough so i can keep everything in-check. of course, if you continue to smoke while and after drinking, it can easily get out of hand. smoking after only drinking is obviously dangerous, too. skyrockets you into fucked-up-ed-ness. if i'm planning on long-term drinking, i DEFINITELY want to be high first, preferably from a vaporizer. makes it much easier to go the distance.

i have 1-3 beers pretty much every day, usually while cooking/eating dinner. but it's almost always weed that enters my body first, then alcohol. by the way, i'm not talkin' about crap beer here - GOOD beer, with flavor, body and sometimes slightly more alcohol than usual.

i recently had a scotch ale that was made with peat smoked malt, which you could really taste as you drank it. i wound up takin a couple of hits while drinking it and the smoky flavor from the beer disappeared because of the herb smokiness. all that was left was the sweet richness of the scotch ale - very interesting to have marijuana smoke pull a certain flavor away from something else that you're tasting. it's also nice to have strong hop flavors and aromas play alongside weed flavors. the two plants are related, afterall...

anyways, i do enjoy a nice balance between smoking weed and drinking alcohol. i definitely prefer being high first, then adding alcohol as i see fit. how's about you?

 

I used to not like any alcohol as I'd only had some shitty experiences with hard alcohol, but spending an evening at a beer garden in Munich this summer had me feeling great, and really turned me on to beer.
I really enjoy just having a beer with a meal, or just drinking a few beers, possibly getting a little tipsy, but not really aiming to get drunk. I've got a taste for good beers as well..a lot of people here like Budweiser, for example - fuck that.

My experiences with weed and alcohol are pretty limited, and I've never been only drinking and then started smoking, but I do agree that (at least with hard alcohol) too much drinking will make me feel like shit, period.

 

Yes, budweiser sucks... but I can put some away if someone else paid... I do enjoy the rice flavor.

I indescriminantly mix drinking and smoking, though lately no real drinking. I smoke all the time, like right now, but haven't had anything to drink in like 2 weeks.

 

i dont like beer. i dont like wine (its the tannins that gross me out)
i like flavored malt beverages, smirnoff ice, captain morgans has one thats nummy, and mikes hard lemonade. lame stuff.
i like rum best out of the hard liquors, followed by tequila, vodka and whiskey. i usually drink these things mixed weakly into sweet drinks, iced tea, koolaid, v8 splash.
i love me some baileys irish cream, and kahlua is good too.
i do not like absinthe, although i can appreciate the flavors, i just dont like licorice.

i dont drink very much, it makes me need to pee like every 5 minutes, which gets really obnoxious. but i do like the spreading warm fuzzy feeling it yields. it doesnt take much at all to accomplish that, so i dont blow through a lot of alcohol. saves a lot of money. and i always smoke, so it doesnt play into my drinking. smoking is normal, drinking is an occasional thing.
