It really depends on the vibe of the evening for me. If I’m hanging out with friends at a party or having a celebratory dinner, I’d probably lean towards alcohol—it’s just easier to enjoy in social settings. But if it’s a chill night at home, maybe watching a movie or reading, I’ll go for weed. I had this one evening where I tried a nice hybrid strain, and it just made everything feel so cozy. I also grabbed a new bong from smokeday.com with cheap bongs, and it made the experience even better.

Alcohol, and only when I am not on call. Beer preferably. IPAs (wanna fight about it?).

Would love to partake in weed, and it is legal in Ohio, for now, unless some unscrupulous politicians get their way. The feds still say no to it at all, if I want unescorted access to a US nuclear power facility.

Yeah, this is a pretty good break down. I don't drink by myself, and I avoid THC in a social setting.

This is exactly me. Although I am starting to use more THC in certain social settings with access to the drink or I’ve got drops I can put in NA drinks. But only if I know it’s not a true late night.

My drinking has completely shifted. Have completely left beer and now only drink tequilas and bourbon. Beer is just to hard on the whole system anymore.

This is slowly happening to me. Beer isn't that hard on my system in an acute sense, but the calories add up.

I've always liked the consistent dosing of ordering a beer, especially when out in public. You know exactly how much alcohol you're getting when you order one. There's no risk of getting more than you bargained for.

There have been some heavy pours at bars for sure!!! It can be tough to control intake vs just counting beers. I’ve found ordering a tequila single and club soda tall is the best way I can keep it similar to beer. Switching from beer has been interesting as I still want to drink everything at the pace I drank beer, which can get you in trouble with liquor obviously!!!

Also another reason I still like beer, lol. It's a lot easier to over-imbibe with liquor.

But there's something "cleaner" about the buzz and after effects for sure when you hit the right amount.

I’ve also been shifting away from beer. Been drinking bourbon lately. I don’t feel the bloat I do when I smash beers all night, but do have to keep an eye on what I’m doing. At a certain point, bourbon on the rocks starts tasting a lot like water :D

Wish I could partake in weed and still be social. As soon as I have even a tiny bit I just want to be alone or with a small group. It is nice to pop a small gummy with the wife and hit some bars drinking lightly
