At first I thought you were talking about those prescription drugs that are made to Clockwork-Orange you into sobriety. My drummer is trying to get on those. His friend has been taking the same shit, but for opiates, but apparently it has the same effect on alcohol (or is mixed with something that does). My dudeman was pissing himself a bunch too.

Now I see you were talking party pills. That can work too I guess!

Narcotic painkillers by the handful, and I never actually pissed myself that was a figure of speech...woke up covered in puke and blood many times but never piss

I barely ever drink anymore.

I have a lot more fun, and I've lost some of that beer gut. Not hanging hangovers ever is amazing. Like being able to actually do stuff in the morning...so nice.

Not Crap!

Not Crap, though I don't think I could ever do it.

I have, however, replaced "quantity drinking" with "quality drinking". That's a really good way to cut down.

I quit drinking in my own country.

This is working out pretty good so far.

Moderation. A little wine never hurt anyone.

I think it's a natural evolution for drinkers; over-drinking early, then leveling off after a bunch of years.

I would say crap, because moderation includes drinking...
