Do you Smoke or drink?

I smoke fags, but I hate it, just so hard to give up.

I like a few beers now and then but the little one prevents me from drinking to often.

I do like toking the mary jane every day though!

Been there, done both; out grew 'em. The only addiction I can't seem to kick is beef and milk. I go through 1/2 gallon of cold milk a day and can't last more than a month without a burger or Arby's. Cigs and booze got nothing on Mr. & Mrs. Moo-Cow.

Beef aint good for you man, eat more poultry.

I used to drink quite alot last year (towards the end of the college year) and kinda threw away a qualification...well i passed it but could have done better! Everyday it would strike 11 o clock and we'd be in the pub! And by 12 we'd be tipsy/on verge of drunkeness!

I still drink though but not as often as i did.

As for smoking, i've smoked cigarettes since a couple of months after i was 17, i've tried to quit but without them things just seem boring!

I have smoked "funny cigarettes" too, did fall under a mental addiction at one point but overcame that, now i just do it every so often!

i cannot stand alcohol, i get sick everytime i drink , so i stopped doing that a loooong time ago, i do smoke cirarettes, and occasianly a joint.

I drink until I'm too drunk, I smoke fags because I'm addicted and I end up getting stoned everynight because there is nothing better to do.

But I've convinced myself I'm going clean. Just not today.

I do not smoke.

I do drink on occasion... but if I feel as though im getting drunk I stop and wait to sober up, as I've had a few bad experience drinking lol :bash:.

Vorta

i used to smoke. i think most people go through that stage of thinking they're cool because they smoke, or smoke because they think it's cool.

as for drinking, i like a drink here and there, but can't stand the english binge drinking fad going on right now.

english binge drinkers = :w: = :bash: &

used to smoke weed quite often too, what can i say...i was in a band. used it pretty heavily too...i do miss the munchies though.

shrooms! fantastic. but now they're class A so i'm (insert naughty word here) if i used them.

wow all of that and i'm only 18, what does the future hold. i know for sure i'd never shoot heroin...i usually pass out from injections

Um, why? Do you ask people in pubic if they smoke or drink?

Misfit

I'll stop smoking when cars stop fuming. Mary Jane........let's just say Hendrix and Marley are smiling down from Heaven.

As for the demon booze.....it's been a great ride these last 5 or 6 years, but I've left the lagers and vodkas behind, I can't stomach them anymore. For now, it's smooth Whiskey, Port, or a great variety of Ale. I love Ale, but I love the Hobgoblin Ale advertising campaign better - "What's The Matter Lagerboy, Afraid You Might Taste Something?"

I don't smoke, don't drink and never have.

I used to get stick for it but I never buckled under peer pressure.

It's all ahead of me I suppose.

Yes, I am ashamed to say that I smoke cigarettes. Why am I ashamed? Well I have been trying to quit for quite some time. Cigarette smoking isn't good for me and I know it. I pride myself on my self discipline and yet, this is one thing that I just cannot control. I am, alas, addicted.

I keep making resolutions and setting dates to quit but I always succumb to the lure of nicotine. Nevertheless, I will not stop trying to quit. And, someday, I am certain that I will be a non-smoker.

As for alcohol...well, that's an easy one. I do have the occasional beer, glass of wine or spirit. I do enjoy a nice "drink" now and then. However, I do not abuse alcohol. My father was an alcoholic and I saw first hand the destructive nature of this substance. Nevertheless, I do occasionally indulge to be socialable. As for abuse, I suffer from migraine headaches and alcohol can be a trigger for a migraine so when I do drink, it is with the utmost caution. More often than not, I will refrain from drinking and simply have a coffee or a soft drink.

I suppose that, in the spirit of honesty, I will also admit to using cannabis on occasion. I am "an old hippie" and I have learned to respect this substance for it's positive attributes of which there are many. However, like all things, there can be a negative side to the use of marijuana. Though non-addictive, per se, there can be a psychological dependence upon pot if it is used to escape or avoid stressful situations in one's personal life. But, then, anything can be used to excess . Moderation is the key.

I smoke fags

Yank translation: "fags" = "cigarettes" (means something QUITE different here in the states mates)

I don't smoke, never did...

I drink occassionally, to be social, and during certain holidays. Usually mixed drinks, not a big beer fan really. A rum and coke is my usual standby, but when I don't care about having a "manly" drink, the fruity frozen ones always taste good, hehe....(just not something you want to order in front of the client, ya know?)...

I used to smoke tobacco. It took me a long time to quit. I spent around 5 years of my life trying to quit. I had even quit for a full year. I haven't smoked a tobacco product since March.

I rarely drink now. Mainly I find it cost too much for me to feel drunk I can't remember the last time I was drunk.

I have been told there's a porkchop in every beer , so I guess I will be fine. Absolutly love my Bud Light . As for as a mixed drink goes give me an occasional Absolute Madris on the rocks. ( orange juice with heavy splash of cranberry juice and absolute vodka. ) Oh, yes I do smoke about a pack a day ultr lite Marlboro .

I've never smoked anything my entire life (and I'm 32), and the total amount of alcohol I've had over the years (first drink at 20--when I got married) isn't enough to get a small dog drunk. I haven't had any alcohol in years...and I hear it's poison. I just stay away from it.

I have never smoked or drank. Neither activity really appealed to me.

I used to drink just a tiny bit. Like put in just a teeny-tiny bit of wine cooler, and fill the rest of the glass up with Kool-Aid. Gave it a bite.

I used to take a few sips out of a wine cooler, stick the rest in the fridge, and forget about it (I do that with pop too).

Thing is, I take one sip and my face feels hot and my joints feel rather funny. My mother takes one sip and her face gets all red.

I stopped drinking any alcohol altogether several years back when we were trying to conceive a baby. Know what, the times I did take a drink were so few and far between...unlike my younger half-sister who is in AA.

I've never ever been drunk. Not even well-lit-up. My sister tells me I'm not missing anything, and it's pretty sad when you get so drunk you have to take someone with you so they can tell you what a good time you had!

I haven't touched the stuff since the late 90s and I really have no desire to. The reason I hardly ever touched it when I did was because I was terrified of getting drunk and the prospect of possibly doing something stupid and not remembering it.

I had my first drink at 20, right after I got married. I figured, hey, I'm old enough to be married--! Now as a Christian I really don't want to touch it. Some believe it's a sin, some don't, but I'm not taking any chances.

Many people seem to have a high degree of self-control and can handle an alcoholic drink and don't drink to excess. But the thing is there seems to be an awful lot of people out there who just cannot get their drinking under control.

Again, I'm not talking about social drinking. I was talking to a kid at College about this sort of thing, he told me he didn't drink, and when I asked why, he said it was because everyone in his family drank too much.

Getting smashed in the privacy of your own home is one thing, but man, I've seen people do some really whacked out stuff and hurt themselves or other people. Sometimes I think moderation, responsibility, and self-control is becoming a thing of the past in America, replaced by a unison shout of "It's not MY fault!" :shk:

It may sound radical, but I am a christian, and I think that doing anything knowlingly that really damages your body can be a sin.

End mini-rant...

I'm into my 40's right now and I know I won't have a long life.
I smoke 2 packs a day and I have a love affair going with Johnny Walker and Justerini & Brooks.

My good friend Mary Jane tells me to stop, but that's just the paranoia talking.

I make choices in my life, and I'm prepared to live (or die) with the consequences of the choices I've made.

Shovel or sink..................




I'll take the warn or point penalty for the curse, it's a valid expression of how I feel.
