You guys are talking alcohol and here I am like "hnnggg I want a margaritaaaa" but I can't drink AT ALL because I'm still on sleep meds. :( I'll be done with those this week so yaaaay \o/
 
I had tons of medication for things like insomnia and even pills for my having severe acne problem (which I just got rid of that medication thankfully)

But yeah, I'm just down to allergy pills which I doubt I'll ever stop taking because otherwise I can't breathe during the spring/summer when my allergies are at the worst.
 
ugh, allergy meds are the worst. I haven't been on them for about a year now, but every time I was prescribed them I was always drowsy even if the label said NON DROWSY.
 
What I wanna know is why the hell Alcohol is considered so perfectly socially normal and legal in all 50 states, while marijuana still hasn't overcome the stigma from political smear campaigns before its illegal-ization, despite and I quote from the 2007 World Almanac - "0 annual deaths directly attributed to Marijuana usage". Not only that, but marijuana prohibitions costs the U.S. 10 billion dollars a year. Not kidding.

Oh hell no, my Acne pills were 10x worse than my allergy pills. I couldn't eat for around 5 hours when taking my Acne pill since it said take 3 hours after a meal and wait 2 hours before eating again. (Take one pill a day though) but it did work I must say.
 
Hahaha, I won't turn this into a debate, but my personal views on marijuana is that everything would be perfectly fine if it were legal. People already find it easily, anyway. Plus it would be nice to use it for medical purposes.

re: allergy pills and all that jazz

Taking Sudafed + at least one other kind of pill simultaneously is the only thing that helps for a while. Downside is that Sudafed is basically speed, and so I eat very little when it's in my system. I only eat because I know I would be hungry if it weren't for the pills. xD;

Medication is so inconvenient for being so convenient at the same time.
 
There's plenty of good beer in America, if you know what you're looking for/doing. But you'll have to go the "craft" route. Try stuff from Stone Brewing Company, Dogfish Head, Revolution Brewing, Great Lakes Brewing Company, etc. Depends on what you like, though - If you like bittery, pine-y hops, try India Pale Ales. If you like earthy, malty flavor, try a brown ale or porters, stouts, etc. If you like balance, try wheat or golden ales.

Or if you want something strong, try Blue Moon. It is the best thing ever.

I've heard some real good stuff about Tacate, actually, completely forgot about that. But thanks for the advice, Nick. Definitely keeping all that in mind :3
 
Now I wanna know what Tecate tastes like.

Just don't go looking for good beer in any grocery store, or smaller liquor store. x_x
 
Real talk incoming. I have to disagree on the subject of Tecate - it isn't really too different from Budweiser/Corona/Coors. It's a Mexican macro lager, and those aren't significantly different from American macro lagers. They have much of the same watered down flavor, which comes from the adjunct malts (corn instead of barley) and the absence of complex roasted malts or really any hop character. Also, while Blue Moon is good (especially for people new to craft beer), compared to typical craft beer Blue Moon goes down like water xD; it's 5.4% abv, whereas beer styles like the imperial IPA and imperial stout that many craft beer drinkers love regularly clock in at 10% abv and higher. However, all that said, Blue Moon is good and it is an excellent starting point for someone who has only ever tried macro lagers. I would recommend giving Blue Moon a try. If you like it, PM me or VM me and I'll give you more recommendations!

Also, N, I have to completely disagree with you on both of your points D: European beer being godly and American beer being awful is a massive misconception that many people have. But in truth, having lived in Europe, there is bad European beer just like there is bad American beer. There is probably less bad European beer than there is bad American beer. But there is plenty of amazing craft beer in America, and American craft breweries tend to push the envelope way beyond what is considered kosher with most European beer drinkers, so if you like innovative, interesting styles of beer, America is the place to be right now.

I also have to disagree that none of it can be found in grocery stores or small liquor stores. In fact I do probably 80% of my beer shopping at grocery stores and small liquor stores, haha. I only go to bigger liquor stores (i.e. BevMo) when I'm in San Diego, which is less than 25% of the year. When I'm in San Diego, the big chain grocery stores tend to stock venerated names like Stone, Green Flash, Alesmith, Port Brewing, and Lost Abbey. Really top shelf stuff. When I'm away in Indiana, the chain grocery stores stock local favorites like 3 Floyds, Bell's, Founder's. So I'm willing to bet most grocery stores in most cities in America have at least something worth drinking

edited to add: in terms of qualification for my opinions, I homebrew beer and cider, and am a certified cicerone. I like to think that I know a decent amount about beer ;D Also, Lance's post has great advice and some top quality brands. Definitely give some of those a try sometime!
