To continue on that, it's interesting how it's legal for people under 21 to drink if they join the army. Also putting alcohol as a drug is just funny, there's no reason to think of it as a drug.

OT: Don't listen to the people being condescending towards you, let them live their stereotypical US sheltered lives and don't be bothered by them.

Thanks everyone who posted some good advice. I slept a bit more drunk water and ate. Im feeling OK now. Not 100% yet though.

@dtewi and ctk495
Yea. So? Dont you have to be 18 to watch porn? Im not telling you to drink or whatever but one day lifes gonna slap you in the face with that mentality.
oh and ctk495 Im not blaming anyone so post was meaningless.

Nice Chemistry class but in reality activated charcoal is rarely actually used in hospitals for anything because there is minimal actual benefit and there are potential side effects. 

Stick with drinking water and eating bananas (or any kind of fruit you can keep down), this is good advice.

Well, it is a drug. A legal drug, but a drug nonetheless. In fact, it's actually pretty dangerous compared to other drugs.

It's one of the most addictive and deadly drugs in the world.  If we wanted drug laws to make sense, it would be more illegal than heroin.

But whatever.

I don't think any drug law has ever effectively changed a country's drug use.  I forget which is which, but between Italy and Spain, one of them has one of the harshest laws against cocaine, and the other one doesn't give a fuck about cocaine, yet they have the same rate of cocaine use.

Meanwhile, I'm having some sake.  It was on sale, at $7 for the big bottle.  Booyah!

Maybe I should expand on my original post.

I meant that if you use alcohol as a drug, then you're a shmuck. I think you can have alcohol, just don't get dependent.

@ Bolded

I know there is nothing wrong with doing drugs. I think they should be legalized since the government shouldn't have the power to tell us what should and shouldn't be in our bodies. Hey, if someone dies of heroin, crack, marijuana, or any drug it is their fault. The government shouldn't tell us what to do with our bodies. But also I think we should not be encouraging drug use. You seem like you are encouraging its use, when we shouldn't. We can't say people can't do drugs, but we can't also say people should do drugs. Does that make sense?

drink some more

Ride it out, and don't drink anymore.

I wouldn't expect drug laws to have much effect considering we've been doing them since we were monkey people in caves. They're all mixed up. The safest things you can do are illegal while we can legally kill ourselves with booze and cigarettes. That's a rant best left for another thread though.

And I hope you're not drinking the cheap sake that comes in the gallon jugs. That stuff tastes like contact lens solution.

I'm not sure if we're using the word drug the same way.  What do you mean by using alcohol as a drug?  I think that if you're not using it to clean NES games, you're using it as a drug.  Caffeine, advil, and birth control are all drugs.

I'll assume you mean getting addicted to any drug is stupid (but should be legal) and using any drug moderately is intellectually neutral?

I think law should only dictate what people do to each other without consent and not to themselves or to each other with consent.

Also, we're not the government, so I actually do have the right to say "if you don't do drugs you're stupid."  I don't even have to feel that way.  It's the best part about freedom of speech.  I can say stuff I don't even believe.
