H'yuk
One of my friends is a drunkard and the other gets high off shrooms and pills.
I hate becoming impaired. Getting drunk or high is not my thing. I don't even like the taste of alcohol, so why should I drink it for an end result that I don't even want. Let them drink their fancy mixers, I'll just have an orange juice. Besides, that crap is expensive.
I enjoy being grounded in reality. I enjoy my thoughts. When drunk (or high), I can't feel myself think any more, not peacefully, and that worries me. Without my brain and intellect, than I'm just another inbred. Most of all, I'm unable to meditate when I'm impaired, and being cut off from that scares me the most. It's like losing my connection to the Force.
Ah well. Drunk people are fun to watch. Not so much fun to babysit.
