I believe that drinking can be fun and smoking relaxing, but everything needs to be done in moderation. It’s unnecessary to smoke everyday and I find no reason to get wasted on the regular basis though I do drink on the weekends. Sometimes I drink for the buzz and other times to get slammed, but the goals for my weekends aren’t “to get fucked up”. I still stand by what I was raised on, I shouldn’t have to drink/smoke to have fun and when I get to that point I always dial back. Oh, and I never do anything to “feel better”. One of my sisters lives by the quote that I’ve now commited to memory: never drink to feel better, only drink to feel even better. I think it’s cute and down to the point.
