I have always been more of a weed guy for decades now. Not that I don’t enjoy alcohol, it’s just that it takes way less effort and money to get a lot better high with less damage to your body.
To me, the perfect combo is 1 drink (high % beer or liquor) followed by a joint, and I’m good for the night. Obviously, I only do this when I go out, which may be once a month if that these days.
Used it from 2009 until around 2013. It was so much better before it was super huge.
