I just drink. Probably not too excessively, though.

I spent most of my teens off my tits. nowadays I drink (probably more than I shoud, particularly if stressed), occasionally smoke draw though nowhere near as often as I used to, and particularly enjoy tramadol or other opioids as a chillaxant when I can get em.

I regularly take trimethylxanthine to increase my alertness, and very occasionally I take a small dose of hydroxyethane to help me relax.

Not surprising, i still have a supply of them for 'emergencies' - had a few the other week and they zonked me out.
Im about 12 stone, so i imagine they have at least the same effect on you.
You build a tolerence quite quick to them i think, though.
Best get off that shit really. Especially if you are studying, etc.

I don't drink that much anymore and all the drugs I take now are prescriptions that I actually have in my name :laugh:  When I was younger it was a different story though lots of self medicating with anything I could get
