Let me begin by saying, I drink very rarely; few times a year.
When I drink, i get the feeling that my brain in running on powersaving mode; only the most basic functions are operational. It’s a fun feeling when I’m drinking, but I can’t imagine doing that regularly.
I’m not sure if this constitutes as bragging but I am proud of the fact that I can recall information quite well, and any activity which hinders this is not to my liking. The hangover is also bad, where the brain is slow for the next entire day.
I want to know the community thinks about drinking and how it effects/doesn’t affects their work and life and how they get around it. Any alternatives and tips?
I don’t drink much but I do smoke weed a lot, and its effects are similar. I’m actually high right now. I think regularly drinking or using weed is fine as long as you’re responsible and don’t do it in a way that interferes with other responsibilities. Do it after you’ve done all your tasks that you need to be sober for. Also, try not to be dependent on it. Learn other ways to cope with daily struggles.
