i admit, i am drunk right now, despite the good typing  but i'm wondering if alcohol could enhance spiritual contact, or if it just enhances the imagination. i've been drinking in certain places before and had weird feelings, especially in old pubs, i always end up imaging the people that used to live there and then get those weird feelings as described in the 'surreal' thread.

anyway, despite this alcohol fuelled thread, i sincerely love you all. i get such a good vibe from this forum, everyone just wants to love, its so simplistic, yet everything i want. please keep on loving guys,it makes it a pleasure to exist amongst you 

love

I get some of my best ideas after about 3
beers... but I lose most of them when I sober
up.
And when I keep drinking after 3 beers, I just
get stupid.
(But listening to music becomes truly transcendent
for me, especially if I get pig-drunk! Weird, huh?)
So I guess you could observe the "getting drunk"
process and find your "optimal dosage" for whatever
purpose you have in mind?
Now me, I don't have the discipline to drink that
way, but who knows?

B-man

Get drunk to commune with my guides...now that is about the best excuse to drink I've heard! Not that I hardly ever drink anymore, but....

Five shots of Tarantula Tequila coming right up... (with mixer, tastes like blue Kool-Aid). That stuff is evil!

Ladies: don't trust any man who offers it to you!

Hey, I like her!

Hey,

Well once ive been out drunk loads, been clubbin and somehow got home i just hit the pillow and i'm out lol, soem times anyway.

I have never really thought about seeing what can happen with like a few beers but remember once i had a few to drink at my house and everyone went home and i layed on my bed and i felt like i wanted to take off, like when you have that really exhausted feeling, but thats about it for me i usually sleep! lol

How much do you drink a day, Chris? We can compare... 

Personally..I believe that alcohol, much like drugs will stifle rather than enhance the reality that is there.

Having been deeply entrenched in both..I am speaking from personal experience.  A clear mind seems to be more conducive to "seeing" than one perhaps clouded by depressants..

I'm sorry, I may have gotten you mixed up with another Chris who comes to this board occassionally..that's the risk of being on this board so long..last names don't register. I assume you are not the Chris who had his own website called "The Lighter Side" which has been put to rest?
sorry also I jump to conclusions, a couple of beers will not kill anyone, even daily; I might get worried if it was a couple of 6 packs at one sitting; makes the stomach distend rapidly in that case! but it's your belly, not mine if so   it's when a person has a hard drink for breakfast, lunch and dinner that only took a year or two to decay the liver and pancreas enough to create a coma and subsequent death. too bad he left me this way, knowing I could do nothing, not even my love would make him stay...so he came back later and healed my grief, told me he suffered not, all my suffering was for myself.  still, it was hard to watch someone as intelligent and gentle as himself slipping away from me. I truly wanted to sit on a porch somewhere with him in old age and gaze at the sunset in comfortable repose..well, maybe some other time?
I know he's still alive, seen him enough and interacted with him enough to cause all the pain to go away. he'll aways be my sweetie that didn't listen to me. besides, I had 11 years around him; was worth it to meet a person had absolutely no animosity for another living creature whatsoever. How is this possible?  since I couldn't nag this person, I thought I'd come here and offer up my nagging on this board..   yet I know he was choosing his exit point this way..he as much as told me that. perhaps the point is, you never miss your water until the darn well dries up....
love, alysia

Yah... I'll never drink during the day because it will only lead to further problems.

I will admit to having four pints of beer (and only beer - not a spirit drinker) every day in the evening. I'm pretty strict with myself and will never have more than four.

I don't smoke and I have never done drugs. I also drink plenty of water and eat sensibly in-order to balance out the four pints.

I don't need to drink. I'm not an alcoholic. But  having a few pints of beer in the evening is almost like a therapeutic hobby that I enjoy and look forward to.

A chance to escape from the C1 that everyone else seems to be entrenched in. 

Good for you. My grandson was on it for OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and stopped it by himself (he's 16 now) and is doing better than ever.  I'm sure your recall will eventually come back. I've been having trouble with recalling dreams too for the past several months. I sleep so deeply and know I'm doing a lot 'out there' but hardly ever remember what and that gets frustrating. So when I do remember a dream, I get excited. LOL

Love, Mairlyn

I kinda disagree, don't get me wrong i'm not an alcoholic and ovously if ya get out your face then lol you are going to be very unclear and not remeber a thing!

But sometimes you can get some insights, well i have and even when i've sobered up i think about them and you know well i wouldn't think about somethings anyway not just yet so its not the worst thing ever...but yes i wouldn't use it to achieve anything spiritual myself....dunno if you even can?

I read that Timothy Leary passed away, and took acid right before he did so. Gad zooks!
