Elder millennial. I think we were the last gen where cigarettes, booze, and drugs were seen as “cool”. Younger people seemed to have figured it out early how much of a fucking waste of time and money all three are.

Never liked smoking anything including weed though I do enjoy it as an edible on rare occassions (maybe twice a year max). I also drink beer on occassion (0-2 a month). Wine and liquor jusf upset my stomach too much.

I used to like moking, tobacco and weed in a bong, would make my brain stop buzzing around, extremely calming, honestly it was just a way to self medicate not knowing I prob have adhd/ocd, I’m still super “lazy” about seeing a doctor and getting medicated, just swapped to vaping weed and nicotine. It doesn’t work as well, can honestly be overstimulating compared to how calming it used to be, ocassionally works

I drink beer cuz look around.

You loose a lot of money and a lot of life expectancy for very little fun and you smell bad after.

Also, you annoy people around you and eventually poison them too

Not worth it.

No. Never smoked. Alcohol tried pretty hard to get me, so I quit. Wasn’t fun anymore. Never really gambled other than pocket change, whatever I had on me was used and when it was gone it was gone. Rarely more than $5.

Quit self-medication years ago because it’s lethal, killed my whole family, and right now we should all be hoarding money to keep it out of the hands of the oligarchs and tyrants trying to seize our land.

Alcohol yes. Less the older I get.

I’ve got an appreciation for bourbon and wine, so tasting those is pretty enjoyable. I also like a cold beer every now and then if I’m running the grill and it’s particularly hot, just not IPAs: I’m not that basic.

Tobacco no. I have tried it, but both my parents are smokers and I don’t like the smell.

I’m a millennial.

No. Paying money to ingest poison is extremely unappealing

Both. Tobacco (now vape liquid) was a product of extremely misplaced curiosity. If you’re young and reading this, fuck your curiosity, fuck what your friends are doing - don’t fucking do it. Buy a stress ball if you have that “Well [x moron] smokes when they are stressed, maybe I should try it” thought. Putting aside the health effects (which are reason enough), shit is basically a money hole for idiots and addicts. I really need to try quitting again (just with a lot of prep for the early stage when I want to kill myself and everyone around me).

I like beer and spirits, but I find anything above 3 standard drinks is diminishing returns. I did the ‘get dangerously drunk’ thing in my teenaged years/very early adulthood. Very happy I grew out of that, shit was getting dark by the end. Have overindulged since and every time, woke up thinking “I should have stopped at 2”.

2 beers is a nice, very lucid buzz for me - body relaxation and a bit chattier. 3 is when my motor skills start to soften in a perceivable (though still light) way. Experience has taught me this is a good place to switch to water/non-alc beer/tonic water for the rest of the night (if ‘partying’, supplemented with some weed.)

Now - a cup of coffee before heading out, 2-3 beers, and some weed? This is generally a good Friday or Saturday night.

I drink time to time, not always. Beer and wine mainly to taste and enjoy, and some raki too.

i drink cigs and smoke beer

I started smoking and drinking at 12 because I thought it would make me look cool and developed a pretty bad drinking habit in high school and college. After college it got worse and there were some severe consequences. Finally got sober at 30. I’d been trying to quit smoking for years but would always light up when I’d had a few beers and since that was pretty much all the time, I wasn’t able to quit smoking until I quit drinking.

I haven’t touched either in almost 27 years and I’m so much better off for it.

Tobacco: No. Hopefully never

Alcohol: Only if it tastes good. No good taste = I don’t want it.
Example: I dislike beer. Sake on the other hand has a pleasant taste.

I hate everything about tobacco. Drink? Only specialish occasions.
