      Same. I was just kind of a boring kid. Went to parties, but was just never interested in getting wasted. Saw all of my friends getting blackout and puking their guts out 15 minutes later, and wanted no part of it. My first drink was actually on my 21st. And it was just enough to get buzzed, not even wasted. It turns out “just say no” is really fucking easy when you’re autistic; Peer pressure just doesn’t work on you.

      Once I started drinking, I quickly realized how many young people have binge drinking tendencies as a result of their younger drinking habits. Kids drink to get wasted before they get busted. There’s a time limit on how long they can drink, so they binge to get drunk as quickly as possible when it’s available.

          Yeah, something like that. Dump five gallons of apple juice and two pounds of glucose into a carboy. Add champagne yeast, cap with an airlock full of vodka, and let sit for a few months.

          The result is an extremely dry apple wine that’ll kick your ass. If you’re not a fan of dry wines, just add a splash of sprite or 7-up to the glass to back sweeten it.

        Nope. The first time I drank any alcohol ever was on my 21st birthday. My Dad made me a gin and tonic with Bombay Sapphire, and that set the standard for the kind of alcohol I will drink. It’s a good thing I’m a lightweight because I only drink the expensive stuff. (The cheap crap burns too much.)

    Never have I ever been stung by a bee, wasp or hornet. I’m not scared of bees either, ill walk right up to them and check em out. I’ve grabbed bees and pulled them out of water, I’ve let them trot all over me and I don’t mind, neither do they.

      Upvoted! I learned how pretty young, but I have a few friends who never did and they have told me that the main thing holding them back as adults is the fear of falling down. Is it the same for you?

        Yes. I have a healthy, but irrational fear of falling. Heights do not bother me (flying in a plane is no big deal in terms of the height). But if I am even a foot above the ground under my own power (say, on a ladder), I get extremely unsteady and nervous.

        So bicycles were out pretty much from the beginning.

        My family, when I was young, would try to convince me by asking, “how can you drive a car if you can’t ride a bike?” Yeah my response shut them up pretty quickly: “a car has 4 tires and is stable.” I was seven years old.

      Never been so blasé about your life that you opened your friend’s parent’s medicine cabinet and recklessly took whatever prescriptions you found in there in a desperate attempt to get high and escape reality?

      Good for you!

        Is it OK to feel sorry for you? The thought of doing this has never even crossed my mind. People would describe me as a very optimistic and happy person though. I guess I just don’t need any drugs for escape, although I do enjoy jumping into a video game and beating up some bad guys. Dynasty Warriors is great therapy.

          I feel sorry for who I was.

          But I escaped all that, and I have a lot of family and love and caring all around me now. Drug free for decades.

        Never smoked a cigarette, but I do try a drink now and then. I find the phrase “drugs & alcohol” relevant here in that they’re different categories.

            Yeah they are. One is less hassle, comes with no stigma and therefore no stress. “Why yes I have had a drink, officer, but just the one.”

            Also if you’re a lightweight like me, you reach your limit at 2 pints. With cannabis? Who the hell knows, the quantities and potencies are still being standardized, and if you want to mix a lighter load you have to mix in more tobacco which is another stimulant.

            No thanks, I’ll have my brown lake water with 3% alcohol mixed in please.

              That’s why people smoke it. You can feel how high you are with each puff and can control it easily.

              Weed may be strong, but it isn’t fentanyl. One toke over the line is not the danger zone—even less so than one alcohol shot over the line.

                It’s not for me. I don’t know why, but it makes me loopy. With beer, your liver builds a tolerance to it over time and your mind learns to not say certain things when under the influence. With weed, that tolerance is 100% mental as far as I can fathom, and I’m just too weak-willed under its influence apparently.

                  The tolerance isn’t totally mental, it just takes longer to build and recede than alcohol does.

                  To each their own though, not trying to pressure anybody.

              no stigma has nothing to do with anything. people do die from its usage (or the consequences of its usage). It is more toxic than a lot of other “harder” drugs. It can ruin lives and break up families just as well. we’re talking about what it is, not how it is perceived. I am also not implying you should smoke weed instead. Everyone has their drug of choice. To each their own. But make no mistake, it’s a drug nonetheless.

        Why? I’ve just never been interested on altering my mood or perceptions using an external source. I don’t even like the effects of alcohol.

          I think it’s so cool to see what happens to your brain with the effects of various chemicals. We’re so convinced of our own sanctity, and feeling the world differently just disavows you of that in a few minutes.

          I think LSD should be a common coming of age right. We’d all be better off, and better for each other, if we could realize we’re each just a tiny blip in the world.

        Fellow tattooless here. Uh, neither?

        I simply don’t see the appeal of putting on something I can’t easily take off if I wanted to, for its own sake. Yeah, tattoos aren’t permanent, a removal process exists. But they cost money and require an appointment to be rid of, on top of the investment of time, money, and pain to buy in. The barrier to entry and the barrier to exit are both too high for my liking.

        Ideally you get a tattoo and enjoy it for life. I can’t commit to that kind of decision. Not for a funny body picture. If I need a memento to cherish memory of a thing or event I’ll get a tchotchke or something.

        I have no complaints about others’ tattoos. They’re more often than not incredible works of art.

    I’d like to tell a story about “never have I ever,” because my house used to be a popular spot for college parties, and was known for its extensive bar and fun times, so often that game was played. And when some drunk fellow-student would suggest we play “never have I ever,” I would say, fine, we can play, but please don’t use this as an excuse to say something you are extremely embarrassed about, and quickly drink. I would then tell a story I had heard about a guy who said “never have I ever killed a deer and then fucked it,” and not only quickly drank, excitedly called out all the other guys from the hunting trip that they all should drink too. I hoped this was a very clear example of what not to do.

    Nope. “Never have I ever” was always an exercise in more and more embarrassing admissions until someone lost their mind and the admittee slinked away in shame.

    People admitted giving blowjobs in fast food parking lots. Sex with people at the party. Sex with a dog.

    Yes, reread that last one. You would think the deer example would rule that one out, but no, some people will do anything to drink something they were free to drink anyway.

      Ok I wasn’t going to play but after reading this: Never have I ever had sex with another species, dead or alive.

      So funny thing. I grew up in a town near where “Mr. Hands” met his fate. My sister was a cop at the time and went over to the police station shortly after completely unaware of what had happened and didn’t understand the looks she got from them when she asked “how’se it going? Anything new?”

      Like, fucking what?
