It’s kinda pointless to argue over cost, weed has different values in different regions, and everyone is affected differently by drugs/alcohol.
I can buy 2 40oz king cobras for roughly $5, and crush those in an hour and that’s a wrap.
or if you really hate yourself, get the $4 bottle of Kamchatka 40proof from a grocery store.
These are truly great times to be an alcoholic.

that’s like, just our opinion, man … but someone said something along the lines of it’s cheaper to get high than get drunk or vice versa. Plus, I don’t think anyone is really arguing about it. It’s more of a tongue in cheek exercise in futility … just have fun with it.

I wasnt trying to start any serious discussion, but it is frustrating that i can walk to a store and buy enough booze to kill myself for under $10, but i dont have the freedom to buy or supply my own marijuana.
It makes sense with the way our system is, but that also means it’s completely illogical.

I’m catching a glow good enough I won’t drive after 3 Jameson. And one joint would fuck me up like serious these days, but to get equal wasy wasted, which I would be from a whole joint, 4 James sounds about right, but in 60-90 mins though.
Point being I wouldn’t smoke a whole joint lol, I’d be too fucked up. Maybe half, or so. So to me it would be 3 drink in an hour would be roughly comparable to half a joint, and lets use something decent, so figure at least $25 for 750ml. [/quote]
It sounds like beer affects you quite a bit. 4 beers gets you lit? I’d probably have a nice buzz going, but I couldn’t say it would be equivalent to smoking a whole J by myself…

That’s the problem, how do we compare the 2? We could try to quantify it by saying maybe the point where you start to lose your memory or can’t walk straight, but everyone handles their booze/gonja differently. I think it’s literally impossible to compare them.
But hell, we can still try for fun, dammit, haha.
Other issues: 1. you will get accustomed to the type of alcohol you drink and your body will build up a tolerance. I drink Long Islands almost exclusively, this is partially a strategy because then I’m accustomed to 4 different types of liquor. But since they’re all light liquors, I get messed up off of dark liquor a lot faster because I’m not accustomed to drinking it. Even if it’s the same proof.
So many variables to work out…

sometimes you just have to ignore the other variables and accept that it won’t be perfect. The trick is getting it as close to perfect as possible. And isn’t that what bud is all about?

I’ve seen a diverse mix of patrons frequent this particular establishment. I have it on good authority (I rarely go there) that young, intoxicated, females looking for a good time have been located there on occasion.

Beer is fucking gross, and I don’t drink it unless it’s the only option. That said…
If I was to pound 4 beers in the same time it takes to roll the sized joints I used to when I was younger… Yeah, I’d be flying pretty high, and likely have to piss enough to fill the metrodome. That’s 4 beers in under a half hour, probably 10 mins… Yeah, I’d bet most people were well on their way if they shotgunned 4 beers.
New ice bucket challenge:
piff/shotgun 4 beers in under 10 mins. No donations, no money raised, just lets see how many people puke up the foam because they don’t burp enough between each beer.

Ignoring the variables? or getting as close to perfect as you can? Maybe this is a question better asked while high… too deep for a sober brain

I don’t care much for beer, either. I remember one of my best friends and my dad trying to basically in so many words say that I’m not mature because I’m not into all the fancy beers that they’re into. I just don’t think it tastes that good and will drink it out of convenience, lack of other options, or to save money. Typically light beer, too, which is more acceptable in taste than darker beers.

I may just accept that challenge. 2.5 minutes per beer doesn’t seem like it would be too hard to me.
Stone Cold used to bury like 5 to 10 cold ones at the end of every Monday night Raw.
Maybe we should just all get together for a big party and test all this stuff in real life. Hands-on research.

A.) I wake up early during the week to workout and tend to not drink during the week.
B.) If I do find myself in the mood, during the week, for some sort of liquid refreshment, I have a nicely stocked bar in house to where the only reason I WOULD go out would be for the social aspect, and, quite frankly, once I’m home and have eaten dinner, I’m more likely not going back out regardless of who invited me (also, I’m married so no need to go out and chase tail as I am knee deep in pussy in house).
C.) If I happen to have a social engagement, I have quite a few great bars around me to where it’s really a matter of preference of atmosphere and alcoholic beverage which will help determine which watering hole gets my money that particular night.
D.) Most of the time, if I am going out, any day of the week, it’s to grab dinner with the wife and/or friends. This particular bar is decidedly lacking in the culinary department to where it is only considered for after dinner drinks.
E.) If I do happen to be in the mood to debauch with old friends, we will usually end up at this place, and even then I tend to not stay out as late as I used to as I’ve become a bit of a lightweight and like to get a good night’s sleep and not have a hint of hangover (which is one of the reasons I tend to prefer bud over booze - HOWEVER, I do enjoy a nice bourbon, scotch, tequila and oj, or a variety of craft beers)
Sorry not sorry for the complex and overly informative answer

Pretty much the reason Polo, and the rest of us don’t frequent the good drinking establishments as much as we would otherwise.

Nice. Makes sense to me.
All you had to say is you’re married and don’t want it to affect your gainzzzzz. But as an elaborative fellow myself, I appreciate the detail.

True
This might be high on the list of listening if I were to smoke everyday…
This when I’m drinking.

Typically yeah. I’ll get them on the rocks if I’m out, because as the ice melts the glass stays full-ish and I can delude myself into thinking I’m drinking more than I am.
