Is trying and getting into alcohol a wise decision ?

[Majed]

I sort of find the whole alcohol culture very attractive, and i want to enjoy it. I never tried alcohol before, and in my muslim family it is kinda taboo. However i don't want to die ignorant. I know there are health risks, however Leo said in his episode burning though karma, to exhaust material desires through indulging in them so that they get out of our system. I'm also open to trying the really hardcore drugs like cocaine, crystal meth, heroin, just out of curiosity, however i don't know if i will ever do it, because it can be really risky and dangerous. However alcohol is more mainstream, and accepted, should i try it ?

Is it a wise decision? No

Can it be fun? Absolutely 

Can it be bad? Absolutely

Mfs that say alcohol and drugs can destroy your health, dude your health is there to be destroyed like you're going to die anyway, why the fuck do you need your health if it isn't to enjoy life ?

The polar opposite of a wise decision.

Bro if you are curious about alcohol go ahead and try it! I've drank everyday from 14 to 19! Last time I drank was on my 21'th birthday! I drank solo half a bottle of Absolut Vodka! I am now 25 and I haven't drank since and probably never will again in my life. It is cool to drink with friends! I would suggest you try it! But don't exaggerate! Like one glass of vodka every 2 hours you will feel amazing. But if you drink one glass now, and another glass after 10 minutes you will feel like shit and it will ruin your experience. I personally like smoking a lot. I have 10 years since I started smoking. But I never smoked more than a cigarette a day! Each day before I go to sleep I like to look at the sky and contemplate about reality while smoking while stargazing! It gives me such an Éire vibe! I quit smoking entirely between 2017 and 2019 and I can say that I was deeply unhappy! Smoking one cigarette every night on the hills of my village is like being in heaven for me! I always used to do this while I was wandering at night in the country side with my beloved dog

I’m in the city right now as i type looking at drunk people and it’s not a good look at all.

But i mean there where times when i drank a lot wheeeew

Nothing wrong with a pint of good beer or a glass of wine once a month with fun people.

Have moderation. Be reasonable.

Still though, it’s not about „alcohol” culture, more like „fun” culture. You can learn to have fun without alcohol.

@Leo Gura Why ? Isn't it part of burning through karma ?

It's a poison.  All you will be doing is poisoning yourself.  Horrible for your body.

Don't do it it's not worth it.

Neither are any of the drugs you mentioned.

Bad idea dude.  Focus on something else.

I experimented with wine because I wanted to understand and enjoy being in the state before getting too drunk.

I would buy a bottle of wine each week for quite some time to do my experimentation. I was slowly drinking it and observing its influence.

Then the desire to experiment eventually faded away, even if I enjoyed it, because there was nothing more that I would have learned.

However, in my case, it could be that I can't get addicted to wine that easily.

But if I were you, I would stay away from vodka or hard drugs.

This logic is absolutely stupid though. Think. Have some common sense.

[Nemra]

@Majed, the important context is that alcohol and those kinds of drugs are very addictive, which will most likely ruin your life, because you are not doing it just for understanding their effects.

Is it worth it to risk your life for forming a serious addiction?

You won't have profound experiences.

It’ll probably get you laid. Or at least make it much easier. If you’re socially anxious and you need a way to relax when you’re out partying or whatever, a bit of alcohol goes a long way. The risk to reward ratio is very favourable if you drink in moderation.

I’ve tried cocaine a few times and it’s not worth it. Some people seem to really enjoy it but it just felt like I’d drank a few red bulls. And it cost me like $80. For the price tag and the health/addiction risks it’s not remotely close to being worth it. It’s not going to ruin your life instantly like the other two drugs you mentioned but it’s just a terrible risk to reward ratio. 

It’s kind of obvious that taking heroin or meth is a terrible idea. That can actually destroy your life just by taking it once or twice. So don’t.

I second this. I’m autistic and dating is basically impossible for me without alcohol. I've tried with and without enough times to know.

Aren't you embarrassed or ashamed of yourself that you have to use drugs to socialize? 

This is you ⬇️

It’s not like I need it every time I socialize. I only need it for the first date specifically.
But yeah, it doesn’t feel too good, and I don’t recommend autism at all. It makes socializing a living hell.
