What I've never liked is the intense social pressure to start drinking.
Well, we can agree on that.
Though I dislike the opposite as well.

Eh, if my Grandfathers can make it to 80+ drinking, I might survive a drink now and again. Not sure if I'd even want to get to 80, but eh I'll call it when I get there.
Sounds like a next-level drinking game.

Beer is a vile and disgustingly pointless drink, but it makes goddamn amazing burgers.

My mommy said she'd love to have one of my saws, I'm making her three.

How dare you, sir!

I don't feel comfortable encouraging drinking.  It's a hobby for me, and it carries a lot of deadly serious risks.
Beer *can* taste really good, though.  You don't need a taste for alcohol, just for bitterness.  Or sweet ciders, etc.  Conveniently, these tastes are available in non-alcoholic beers as well!

I'm a pothead, haven't been high in years actually but if I had weed I'd be enjoying it, and I look forward to trying edibles at some point.

I've had enough drunkeness for the rest of my life, you wake up enough times wondering where these bizarre scratches on your hand came from, well, it got old before I was even 21 yet. Known enough people who died from booze, saved a dude from a car crash I found where the driver was drunk (and dead in the car when I found it in a ditch, roof got sheared off by a tree into the back seat, passenger flopped over just before it happened and fell out after the car stopped moving, gave me a hug when I met him later) and my best friend Chris who was with me ended up dying a few years later in a car crash where that driver was drunk, so fuck booze, go smoke a joint folks.

You get drunk and sloppy and loose track of risks behind the wheel you end up fucking up your life and others.

You get high and paranoid and do what, drive along 10 mph below the speed limit before pulling into a convenience store parking lot and staring at the snack isle for an hour?

*compared to unimpaired driving, my comparison was to drunk driving, and that study singled out THC levels in the blood which is a reasonable sounding but piss-poor measure of actual pot use these days due to vaping and edibles with all sorts of tweaked ratios of cannabinoids vs thc content*

Is it really so hard to just NOT impair your mental functions for false happiness

"false" is subjective friendo. It is a crutch for lots of people but for lots of other people it is actually conducive for a good night to get better.

But this is happy thread. So I will say I've applied for an IT job at the Uni I'm attending to make college a whole lot cheaper! And I'm applying tomorrow for a developer position that I've been recommended for!

Human history indicates yes.
As soon as we figured out that letting things rot just right could make juice that makes us feel funny, we've basically made that one of the main pillars of civilization. Sure, we found other things from plants and fungi and such later, but ethanol is easy enough that we just started drinking it and haven't stopped to this day.

I'd tell you to fuck with your own brain chemicals responsibly, but that's probably not possible.

That's arguably what taking properly prescribed antidepressants and anxiolytics and things does, though: fucks with your brain chemicals responsibly.

Own is the operative word here. It's more responsible to have someone else tweaking your brain.

For real, though. If motor vehicles were basically dodgem cars or something, it'd be funny. But they're not, they're big, fragile machines of high-speed death that are hard enough for an easily-distracted human fleshbag to keep under control at the best of times.
