Do you drink? Do you smoke?

[IMJ]

My drinking when I was younger meant going to the bar and hammering 4-Horsemen shots (Jack Daniels, Jim Bean, Jose and Jaeger all in one shot) with the crew.

Now I am a Whiskey enthusiast, so it's that or the occasional wine and that's it. I'll still drink beer, which I love, but the magic power I used to have that resisted hangovers when I was younger is.... gone. Kaput. Poof. Away.

I don't smoke; can't, actually. Developed bronchitis due to second-hand smoke in my youth and it got so bad I was borderline asthmatic. If not for inhaler treatments and breathing exercises I'd be f**ked. Thankfully I've been out of the woods of that for almost 30 years so I don't need to rely on medicinal help. But that second-hand crap still affects me. I can't be around it or I start to choke. I don't double over or go through any dramatics. I just cack, get pissed, and get the hell out of whatever poison cloud I wandered into.

I get that way with burning wood and charcoal, too. Chimneys, bonfires, grills; once that pillowy air hits my face I gotta cover up or beat feet. Kinda sucks since most everybody seems to enjoy it when I'm ninja-masking with watery eyes.

As for drinking, I'll dabble in a wine cooler on occasion at home. Going out, if I drink anything hard, it has to have rum in it. Everything else tastes like a chemical bath. And no beer, either. Everything I've tried tastes like someone pissed in my Cheerios so no thanks.

We were on that Red's Apple ale kick for a bit. That's about the only beer you've willing consumed to my knowledge.

Yeah, ales I can tolerate to a degree. I remember saying something like that a few years ago. Who knew that a certain yeast fermented at a certain temperature could make such a difference?

I've never been a regular cigarettes smoker myself, but I've dabbled in vaping from time to time. It's not something I do often, but I've found it can be a nice alternative for the occasional relaxation. I enjoy the flavors from shopc9.

No cigs for me here unless I'm out of the country. I'll have a cigar rarely, on special occasions.

everything in moderation

I don't smoke, thank god, and I only drink a nice cold Coors Light beer on either the weekend, special occasions or when I'm watching a man cave tour video on YouTube.

A man cannot be denied his beer and thou shall not waste his beer. It's my unwritten rule for beer.

My dad when I was a mid teenager made me hate smoking and hard liquor by making me do it as an experiment. One Tuesday night, he and I were playing darts in the billiard room and he had a birth cigar and he made me take 1 inhale to test it out. Boy that was painful. He did the same thing to me when it came to hard liquor; he made me drink some hard stuff so I hate the extreme foul taste. Since that night, I have never once picked up a smoke or anything other than wine or beer. I'm sober.

I have never picked up a cigarette in my entire life. I also only drink like once...a year, and only on occasions where I'm invited somewhere to a restaurant or something. I never drink otherwise.

There's been a few times I was on the bus where people would vape then the bus driver would get pissed, stop the bus and threaten to throw the person off the bus if they didn't stop vaping. I've never vaped only ever smoke rolling tobacco these days. Packets of tobacco are getting a bit expensive. It used to be like £20 for a 50g packet now it's up to nearly £40 ffs Sort of craving for a smoke at the moment I thought the longer you stay off the drink the cravings would go away My dad was an alcoholic, he's been off it a bit longer than me, he never craves for it anymore. He said he hates the stuff (even the smell of it), I'm the opposite I still like the smell of it. I've been off it nearly 12 years but still get cravings to buy a carry out or go out for a bunch of pints or whatever. I'm able to resist the urge more, can sit in the bar for a family outing and not touch it but the cravings are still there though.

I have now made it 2 years and 5 months since I have had any form of nicotine. I still smoke weed though. I also still drink occasionally.

[LegionareX]

I’ve never smoked, mainly because of my parents, and I’m glad for that. The unpleasant smell and wasted money are a big minus for me. But I do drink at parties, not to the point where I can't stand, but just enough to get that tipsy feeling. P.S. I’m already struggling with money, and if I smoked too, I’d be completely broke

[Iroh]

I don't drink or smoke. My organs are healthy as of a teenager. Yay! I always paid attention in elementary about not using drugs, smoking, or drinking. The PSAs after HeMan and GI Joe episodes kept me in line. I am glad I listened. No health problems from me! Sweeeet!

I've switched to vaping instead of smoking regular cigarettes. For me, it's more about the flavors and just the act itself being a bit more chill than dealing with all the cigarette smell on my clothes and fingers. I'm not a heavy user and skip long periods without vaping, but when I do, I try different brands and setups just for the variety. Sometimes it's just a social thing, like at a party or if everyone's got their vapes out. I tried some of the gear and liquids from vapefly not long ago and found their options pretty decent, especially with the flavor selection.

[Mad Dog McMutt]

I am 4 months away from being 4 years nicotine free. To me that's a big deal because I was a heavy smoker. I still smoke weed though, but only small amounts.

[CyberCubed]

No and no. Never smoked in my life. Only have like 2 drinks a year at special occasions, if that. I've probably had less than 20 drinks (with alcohol) altogether in my entire life till now.
