Do you comsume any tobacco products (e.g. "smoking") or alcoholic beverages? Why or why not?

I personally have never smoked (neither tobacco nor weed), never drank any alcohol. (Parents also don't do smoking, or drinking, or gambling so I kinda got lucky with the environment I grew up in, I guess...) Is that unusual? Gen Z btw.
i drink cigs and smoke beer

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. -
Are you not traditionally medicated for them or is it that you find weed works better instead of or as well as?
I actually had a prescription for it before it was recreationally legal here.

I like to get a little intoxicated and find the different headspaces the drugs provides to be very relaxing and fun. That said, I get a really good calming buzz from a cup of coffee and some particular candy (vespebol) these days.
I used to drink a lot, mostly because it was fun and relaxing to start, then it became habitual.
I drink way less now, I like the buzz and mindset I get from a few beers, but I no longer need the escape that drunkenness provides and I've grown to really dislike it.
Stopped drinking for a little while, then eased back into it and experimented with it for a few years.
I found that for me the cost of drinking increases exponentially per unit and the benefits flattens and become costs after a few units now.I only have tobacco when someone has rolled a joint with it. Had my first while cigarette at 29, I got a really good nicotine shock from it, which I loved, but my lungs hurt for days afterwards so I'm staying away from tobacco, never tried snus either even though it's pretty huge around here.
Don't really smoke much weed either, but I'll have a puff if someone is offering. I like the buz and calmness it brings.

No. Paying money to ingest poison is extremely unappealing

wrote last edited by [email protected]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. -

No fast food then either huh? Good on you.

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 sulphites from preserved meats either?

wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

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

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.

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.
