Alcohol v. Cannabis

I'm sure those of you on this forum already realize this, but let me give you a first hand account..

I started drinking last year around November, been drinking weekly since then, it's December, 2012, and since then, I've gained a considerable amount of weight. Come Jan. 1st, I'm quitting drinking all together. I've quit smoking since Sept. 11th, so been clean for almost 4 months. Although it's more expensive to smoke, it's clearly more beneficial to my health to smoke and not drink, not only for my liver, but for my overall weight/health. My normal body weight should be between 175-185lbs, right now I'm pushing 220. January will provide change, and this thread will be renewed; https://www.rollitup.org/toke-n-talk/529141-getting-back-shape-thread.html

Time to fix this shit once and for all!

Anybody else experiencing the same thing I am?

Also, I believe I'll be going back to smoking instead of drinking, I quit, originally to get a decent job and possibly join the military, but that prospect seems unlikely and I really don't want to join the military.. We'll see..

The negatives of drinking far out weighs the negatives of pot, at least in my opinion.
I lost my life due to alcohol, I used to have a family, a nice car and a good house. I started drinking and that all went to shit, I started being abusive due to not having enough money to drink, my partner left me and took my kids with her (in hindsight, that was a good decision on her part).
I ended up becoming homeless for a year and half, in that time I really saw the depths of depravity that people could sink to, and I figured that this really wasn't where I wanted to be going with my life. So I quit drinking and started smoking pot.
That was five years ago now, and I can truly say drinking fucked my life up.

I find that regular access to weed seems to curb my appetite for booze - not that I was ever a heavy drinker to begin with. When I didn't smoke (was subject to pee tests), I had 1-3 drinks nightly. Now, I mostly have a really good beer with an expensive meal.

I'm a pretty heavy drinker myself and its never caused any problems for me for the most part but I can honestly say that if marijuana was completely legal I probably wouldn't drink the way I do.

Are you surprised that you put on a decent amount of weight from drinking a lot? It is 7 kcal/gram after all. For roughly 4 months or so I was drinking a half 1/5 a night. Because of that + the large amounts of food I devour when drunk, swear I eat more when drunk than stoned, I went from about 170 to 208lbs or so. I probably would have put on an additional 10lbs, but I was fairly active at the time, doing BJJ roughly 4-5 times a week for 2 hours a day. I never got to the point I would even fathom calling it addicted, which is why I was able to stop drinking cold-turkey with no problem. Now I just drink 2 grande Margaritas whenever I go to my favorite Mexican place every 2 weeks or so.

alcohol is no match for weed imo.. when it comes to the effects. i cant explain it but ive never had a hangover. anytime i drink too much i just black out, but i get baad ass heartburn and cock coma. no bueno. lol this 1 time.. at my friends house.. we were playing kings cup and i lost... i woke up in her front yard covered in wet newspaper. as ive been told, after i drank the kings cup we smoked a blunt and i just walked outsidel and laid down in the grass and passed out but i was druelling all over myself so they thought it would be funny to hose me down. everybody was smashed so no one could get me back inside but they thought i might get cold so they covered me in newspaper and sprayed me with the hose again. i think i got up about 11 that morning, it was already 100* and i was paper mached. but no hangover or throwin up. point being.. im not much of a drinker. weed, im always in control.

Drinking is far more social. Cannabis is too, but its always a much better night with some drinks in your system. Weed is more of a daytime thing for me, then i get drunk at night. But the combination of them is awesome. Moderation with alcohol is key.
