Drinking and Smoking

I just recently went cold turkey on my tobacco addictions (chewing and smoking) after 6 years.  It's been absolute hell, but I've been off for 2, almost 3 weeks now.

I don't think it's possible for me to give up whiskey and/or beer.

I drink.  usually beer or the occasional hard cider.  The only time I really drink mixed drinks is on vacations.  A good Long Island is always nice.   Never smoked anything in my life, nor done any other drugs.

Just drinking, and usually beer. It's often just a beer at the end of the day. I rarely have more than one at a time.

I drink. I have zero interest in smoking.

Don't smoke. Though I drink like a champ once or twice a week (probably more than that if it wouldn't send me broke...).

I quit smoking over 4 years ago.  I drink occasionally.

Same here. I always feel like crap in the morning if I don't drink water before bed.

Gave up drinking, smoking last month :D

Its alright if you drink and/or smoke, though I think its vastly unhealthy. Toph_Girl250

The occasional drink is good for you, though.

I'm Irish.

I drink once in awhile. Usually a couple of beers.

Haven't smoked cigarettes since high school.

I drink. As for smoking, I only smoke hookah on a few occasions. 

I think it's ok to drink/or get drunk if you're a jolly drunk. But you have to know yourself. And smoking, it's not good, but I do it. Reminds me of being with my grandpa and uncle when I was younger since I always loved the smell of the smoke on their cloths for some reason. And still do like the smell of it. Yes, in the long term it may cause cancer, but there are some people who are more ammune to it. But i'm probably not going to wait and take the chance to see if I am or not.  In the past, during my dumbass years, I snorted hydrocodone (strong painkiller) a few times, don't do it, it'll make you do stuff you will regret. Chewed and swallowed Adderal pills, Snorted some pill, but i forgot the name of it lol. Drank almost to death one time at a college party. Made sure I fell asleep on my side so I didn't die and drank some water just to be sure. Smoked weed which i'm pretty sure was laced with crack or some other blook pressure increasing drug that made me feel like my heart was gonna explode. But i'm done with doing that crap. Not gonna risk my life just for a temporary high that feels worse than if I didn't get high. And it destroys your mind. Although the person that said drinking is less unhealthy or better than smoking, that's a bunch of bullshat, as you can get liver cancer or the failure of. And you can get drunk and die very easily, or get alchohol poisoning. So don't tell me it's better. Plus, you can't get drunk off of cigarettes. It's more like a long term form of suicide. Without the short-span dumbashsness of drinking too much. Although like I said, if you know you're a jolly drunk and don't get super angry or freak out, than I think it's fine. 

I quit smoking over 12 years ago. I do enjoy me my beer though

[QUOTE="MonoSilver"]Neither. Never smoked in my life and last drank alcohol about 7 years ago. fnevaeva

I don't smoke and never want to. As for drinking, I just never saw the appeal. 

I smoke about half a pack a day. I'm a recovering alcoholic, no booze now for about two and a half years.

I don't do either of them. I never had any interest in them.

some beer (you cannot have some crappy big name american beer and judge it all) is amazing and some mixed drinks are as well, but I can understand not wanting to be drunk or just disliking the taste.  But believe me, not all beer is created equal.

[QUOTE="Toph_Girl250"]So who here drinks and smokes on OT? And is there anyone here who doesn't do either like me? :P Its alright if you drink and/or smoke, though I think its vastly unhealthy. :P Its alright if one is trying to break addictions as well. Good luck to anyone here trying to break addictions. Murderstyle75

I can honestly say that I've never smoked anything, chewed tobacco or did any type of drug. now alcohol on the other hand.. :P I used to drink more often but now it's pretty rare for me, maybe a few times a year at the most.

I've never tasted alcohol at all but I meant I never saw the appeal of drinking to get drunk.

gotcha.  I used to, but once you have experiencec it enough, you stop wanting to be drunk...ever again haha.  At least I did.  I have not been really drunk in quite awhile.  Buzzed a bit however is nice.  I usually drink a beer or a few and call it a night, unless its a special occasion (very rare).  

To each their own, and hey, not liking it saves you money (unless you are buying other tasty drinks like Java Chips from starbucks :P)

Lol yeah I guess. I do like Starbucks though. :P

Drink too much so.

I don' t do either of them. I may drink in very rare occasions, though only small amounts.

Nothing wrong with tipping a few back, as long as you know your limits. There are really two types of people. Those that can drink, and those that think they can drink. The latter should not touch the stuff. Because often times they are the addictive personality types, or the people that just have the genetics that can't handle it.

Neither. Never smoked in my life and last drank alcohol about 7 years ago. MonoSilver

I drink pretty regularly and occasionally smoke a cigar.

Both. There's nothing better then relaxing and smoking my pipe, and drinking is great on weekends and when I'm back home hanging with my friends.

I don't smoke, but I do enjoy a couple drinks now and then...and a few more every once in awhile.

[QUOTE="rastotm"]

[QUOTE="Murderstyle75"] Drinking is not unhealthy unless you are consuming mass quantities of corporate swill. Moderate drinkers even live longer than both heavy and light to non drinkers. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2017200,00.html In the article they say the reasons are unclear however many alcoholic beverages are rich in vitimins. nutrients, etc.Murderstyle75

[QUOTE="Murderstyle75"][QUOTE="rastotm"] Yes, that is more than moderate drinking, according to the people who do research on the damaging effects of alcohol. And yes, the scientific perspective on moderate drinking would be considered light drinking by most people.
Just saying that because the moderate drinking in the health benefits argument tends to be quite lower than people expect.

Um, good beer does come in cases of 12 and 24. I can buy cases of craft beers in PA, and in WI.

I don't do either :|
