Don't drink anymore, but a walk under the starlight used to be my fav. And if you've got a long walk home you're basically sober by the time you show up

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 24 points 8 months ago

I got pretty wasted in the woods once together with some friends while grilling and staring at the stars. That was epic.

I have no clue how I got home though. That's a two to three hour walk when sober, and I was drunk enough to only remember the first half hour of it.

But now I drink maybe twice a year, and very little. The stars look nice even when sober. And on Monday weed was legalized here, that's more like it for me nowadays.

[-] Alteon@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I pretty much completely stopped drinking after weed was legalized.

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 8 months ago

I just bought a bunch of seeds. That feels so surreal. This weekend I'll buy snacks and fly to space, and it'll be legal.

Tips from a fellow enthusiast:

1.) Get a GOOD light. (Checkout the Thinkgrow Model-H for example).

2.) Set up a good hydroponic system, and use timers for your water schedule. (I recommend drips system. And don't forget to flush with water at least twice between feedings to prevent salt build-up)

3.) Use as big of a pot as you can realistically get away with. The bigger your rootball, the bigger your plant and more nutrients it can take up.

4.). Get a GOOD carbon filter and no one will ever know your growing....unless you open your tent...

5.) Get a good tent! You want reflective walls, ventilation ports, cord access, etc.

6.) and lastly...and most importantly, get good genetics. Autos are great for a trial grow, but nothing will ever beat a good photoperiod plant - better yield, better quality, and massive, beautiful, photo-worthy colas.

Follow these basic tips, and I guarantee you'll grow something better than you'll be able to get at most dispensaries.

Same here! Some great memories come to mind reading your words!

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 10 points 8 months ago

Yeeeah, the cool night air as you ramble along and slowly sober up. Maybe stop to pee on a tree somewhere.

one time I blacked out and woke up to a spotlessly clean kitchen and a loaf of perfectly baked rosemary bread. I didn't even have rosemary

You ever wake up from the best sleep of your life and think:

"Uhoh... the OVEN."

Blackout Christmas! 🎁🎉

[-] GoosLife@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I never bought myself stuff while drunk, but I liked to go on twitch and subscribe to random small channels, and gift them games they wanted to play lol.

[-] Matriks404@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I am still waiting for my drunk self to buy myself a piano or some other instrument, so I have a reason to learn to play it, lol.

[-] Sombyr@lemmy.zip 44 points 8 months ago

I'm the "guess I'm crying now" kind of drunk.

[-] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

You pair great with the journey into the woods fellow. An adventure will cure what ails ya.

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 11 points 8 months ago

A journey into the woods crying? I know how the Blair Witch Project got started.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

I don't see "I am smart enough to know I can't drive but dumb enough to think I can walk to Taco Bell from here"

(Not that I know anyone like that personally.)

Many of us have been each of those types of drunks.

[-] theodewere@kbin.social 9 points 8 months ago

i saw a t-shirt in a Mexican tourist town once that said it depends on what you drink, and it explained it like this:

Beer = I'm invincible!
Whiskey = I'm invulnerable!
Tequila = I'm invisible!

these are the three personalities of my ADHD

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 9 points 8 months ago

If the drinking goes on long enough, I will go through all of these phases.

[-] Ultragigagigantic@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Then there is me, alone in the basement, surrounded by 270 empty beer cans about to open my last 30 case of Bush light.

Suddenly the music video for Korpiklaani - Man with a Plan makes a lot more sense.

[-] ExfilBravo@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

You start off as panel 1 then as you get more drunk you turn into panel 2 and after even more drinking you're panel 4.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I stayed panel 4 even after getting sober

I'm the wanderer.

Terrible story, I went to a foreign city with some friends and got black out on tequila for the first and last time. Apparently I left our motel without letting anyone know to go perform urban parkour. I somehow failed to clear a 2nd floor jump and based on the imprint in my one shoe, landed entirely with my right heel. Clean break.

My phone log showed that instead of calling anyone I was with or maybe medical assistance, I tried to call my boss 3 times before giving up entirely. I only have memory of some nurses later asking if I wanted to go to a hospital, but I denied them and slept it off. Guess I was found eventually, lol.

[-] joneskind@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I am both the first and the fourth one.

[-] IWantToFuckSpez@kbin.social 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Then there’s the “time for coke” type of drunk that turns into all three with a pinch of murdering rage

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

I have levels.

I start off with "I love everyone", wanna talk.

Then comes losing my shirt, and if encouraged, I will find a table and lose more.

After that I hit the "walk in the woods" point. Or, really, "I wanna find a nice high place to sit". Dunno why, but after a certain point, I just wanna get somewhere I can look down over a city or something. There's something magical about it. Here's all these twinkling lights, all these lives going about their night. Some going to work, some going out to get fucked up, some to get just fucked.

And there I am. My own twinkling light, out in the night. Small, insignificant, just the red glow of the cherry of a cigarette against the nothingness. For a brief moment, I am both a part of that grander light, and apart from it. Above us, all the lights in the sky, bringing it together.
