alcohol is *supposed* to be poison, that’s the point. drinking together is the social equivalent of leaving your weapons by the door, it renders you less capable of deception and manipulation because you’re impaired. it’s a tool for building trust https://t.co/LeTPfj81ir
@the_wilderless part of the issue here, i think, is that alcohol earns a certain level of trust by being extremely lindy. everyone knows what alcohol will and won’t do in what doses. if you show up to a party like “hey what if we all did phenibut instead” that might work if people trust you but
@the_wilderless if not it raises a question about your motives: why do you want everyone to do this weird drug people don’t know about and don’t have experience with, instead of the normal socially approved drugs that everyone understands? so a lot of trust already needs to exist for this
