My friend..don't know know why the Civil War was REALLY started? Because somebody said **** coke. Coke has more volume in the flavor and I don't feel like shitting out sugar cubes out my pee-hole when I drink it.

Coke is delicious. It's flavor is robust and powerful. Really, it's the best caffeinated drink that will INSTANTLY wake me up (its lasting stamina pales loses against coffee and Red Bull, however). Pepsi, on the other hand, is sweet, FAR smoother, and is very light (meaning I dont violently belch in public after a can of Pepsi).
Can't choose.

I've been comparing Coke and Pepsi ever since I was a kid, and I still can't tell the difference. I think Coca Cola has a slightly more powerful taste, but it leaves an aftertaste. No.. wait.... maybe that's Pepsi.

Back to topic.
Coke has a certain "kick your ass and then spit on you" taste. It's bitter, jammed with caffeine, and is a long time classic.
Pepsi is far sweeter, smoother, and doesn't leave an after-taste comparable to that of wasabi (at least for me anyways).
Over all, Coke wins my heart.

Aspartame has been the subject of controversy regarding its safety and the circumstances of its approval by the American FDA and European FSA. Some studies have also recommended further investigation into connections between aspartame and negative effects such as headaches, brain tumors, brain lesions, and lymphoma.[8][9][10] These findings, combined with possible conflicts of interest in the approval process, have engendered vocal activism regarding the possible risks of aspartame.[11][12] The 2004 documentary Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World voices these same concerns.
On 14 December 2005, a member of the British House of Commons called on the British government to "ban the use and sale of aspartame" due to health concerns relating to this product.[13]

You are the man! Both Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper (actually Mr. Pibb) are better than Coke/Pepsi, at least in my opinion.
As far as the Coke/Pepsi thing, Pepsi is too sweet. Coke with Ice is the best. The ice nuetralizes the acidic taste a bit and makes for the perfect combination.

Silly? My judgement is silly? The one who is silly is you if you actually believe that alcohol isnt a problem, cause it is, and the prohibition ages of the 20's and early 30's prove just how much of a problem it was back then, and the sky high sales numbers of beers and other liquors and alcohols prove just how much of a problem it is today. I come from a family who seems to have no qualms with drinking alcohol, but they arent drunks either, for the most part. Despite that, Im certain that drinkable alcohol should join the list of banned and restricted substances.

I don't have the time to write a lengthy reply, so here are some brief points:
- Alcohol has a meal quality. There have been studies proving a glass of wine a night has positive benefits. You can eat it with a meal the same way you can eat sugary, syrupy sodas that rot your teeth and make you fat with a meal. I don't have any issues with you choosing not to drink. I'm a major health freak so I know where you're coming from. Just don't try and pass your opinion off as fact because of your willful ignorance.
- Prohibition was laughable. High school history classes will tell you that it was due to men leaving their families (or simply passing out and not waking up) under the influence of alcohol. This is true, but it is not the whole picture. The drinking was a response to economic, social, and literal physical displacement that took place, which are the issues that should have been addressed. Banning alcohol was a "cure' for a symptom, not the disease. Many alcohol bans that occurred in the US were also result of trying to deliberately alienate and target ethnic groups (mostly the German and Irish.)
Kaizoku is absolutely correct when he talks about the black market. Banning does nothing but to create a new, illegal market. This can be potentially more dangerous because now we have no product standards. Take a look at the drug market: if there was a legal drug market for certain drugs, we would not have to be concerned about softer drugs being laced with harder drugs. Banning was an absolute failure, pure and simple.
If you want to know the real root problem of America's obsession with drinking, take a look at the fact that alcohol has been put on a pedestal for it's recreational quality due to the fact that it is now a forbidden fruit. Countries in Europe that have no drinking age don't face the same problems we do largely because alcohol seen for little more than its meal quality.

I was just wondering....which softer drugs are laced with harder drugs?
Ecstasy is a common one, but I wouldn't consider that soft. The only soft drug that's ever laced is marijuana, and that's only in extremely rare circumstances where shwag (low grade bud) is passed off as kb (high grade bud) by being dipped in formaldehyde. Other than that, I can't think of any other soft drugs being laced with hard ones, and I've had some reasonable experience with drugs. Cocaine is almost always laced with baking soda, and heroine with similar poisonous substances, but those aren't exactly soft drugs.....
Lizzaroni
04-05-2007, 07:27 PM
Bounty: you're right; I misspoke when I said "soft drugs". It would be more accurate to say that what makes hard drugs doubly dangerous is you can't always be sure of what it is you're getting. Though, I was always under the impression that marijuana being laced with unwanted goods not rare.
Azure: all meal quality means is that it can be, well, part of a meal. The purpose of drinking is not that to get drunk, and just because one can get drunk off of it doesn't make it inherently bad. There were periods in history where brews were literally meals. For example, Coke removes rust, but just because it can do that doesn't mean that people disregard its meal quality and use it solely for that purpose or consider it inedible.

A guy I know had a bowl that was laced with PCP. It's more in the finished product. It's rare in pot, for sure, but it does happen.

This is a big one for me. I drink but don't do drugs, but my friends do pot every now and then. One of the biggest reasons I don't join them is a lack of regulation and product standards - I don't know know what I'm getting.
When I drink I only drink stuff that I can quantify (for example, I'll buy stuff from the bottle shop or from bars and restaurants, but I won't take mixes off people unless I've seen them pour it and I won't do beer bongs unless I see what goes into them) because I like to keep track of what I've had. I often do the same with food, though I'm more relaxed there - often I'll check the nutritional information because I like to at least have a rough idea of how much energy, fat, etc. goes into, say, a bag of Maltesers (sp?) when I go to the movies.

Yes, of course; obviously I meant that I drink alcohol but don't do other illegal drugs. I did say one of the biggest reasons was product quality, but it's not the only reason. Fear of legal repercussions is another (although not a huge one), and I have other reasons I'd prefer not to get into. I appreciate the advice tho :)

Marijuana has no addictive properties, dumb ass (other than "fun"). So, it's impossible to be a Marijuana addict.
Chemically, no. Psychologically, easy.

Psychological addictions are much easier to overcome than physical addictions, and in the process of defining psychological addictions, "addiction" becomes much more of a "want" than a "need."

Better yet, why not introduce the gambling addict to heroine?
Get my point?

I understand the difference between chemical and psychological addiction; I'm just trying to make sure that psychological addiction isn't trivialised.

I'd find psychological addictions to be harder to kick. At least with physical addictions there is always the option of going cold turkey. It's easy to remove the addiction from the equation, even if the reaction is incredibly hard to deal with. It's still cut and dry in that regard; you're either smoking/drinking/injecting things or not. But, how do you literally entirely remove something from your thought process?

Mmm. With psychological addiction it's an aspect of your personality that needs to be faced and dealt with, and I suppose breaking the addiction requires a certain kind of humility.

The biggest hurdle, I think, is that you cannot remove something tangible. If there's an absence of a drug you have to battle your body's reaction to its removal, which I'm not trying to downplay, but the root of the problem is literally out of the picture. Psychological addictions are much more complex.

Marijuana is not hard to kick. For instance, I haven't smoked in 2 weeks, but before that I had smoked every day for over a week, more than once a day.
Anyways, in this case, physical addictions are much harder to kick. Have you guys tried heroine? Or cocaine?
Those drugs take control over you. If your addicted, you will do anything to get more.

Stating that psychological addictions are equally if not harder to kick does not mean that one is not acknowledging how tough it is to kick physical addictions. I just think you're downplaying psychological addictions is all.

True, and I realize that psychological addictions can be extremely hard to kick.
However, physical addictions function on a more basic level. Psychological addictions are more similar to our emotional needs, and Physical addictions are more comparable to our functions necessary to survival (eating, drinking, sleeping).

Coke and Pepsi are fine. the only difference between the two are a few millagrams of sugar. But really, who needs any other soft drink than Bawls
I can't drink either anymore. It sorta freaks me out when I look down and see that I'm drinking this weird, fizzy, black liquid.
Something doesn't seem quite right about it.
I'm all about the Sprite nowadays
