I only smoke when I'm depressed. I will have weeks or even months with no smoking, but when I feel like utter shit, I will be a sad chimney.
Crumpus
I never understood "I only smoke when I'm drinking" but then I started drinking. And smoking, consequently.

Smoke what?

And remember, you aren't an alcoholic until you graduate

I do that too... but seriously? You need help, op! We can enjoy our time and have fun without getting in so much trouble.

I'm fairly sure I'm a "functioning" alcoholic, but after a close call with work, I only drink when driving isn't happening. Fuck that hell.
Varcster
i was wondering why at&t cared that you're an alcoholic for a solid 40 seconds
Varcster
drunk phone calls to china that you dispute when you're sober?
Varcster
anonymous 911 calls about people hiding in bushes? idk

I am not an alcoholic. Alcoholics always need a drink, and I already have one.

I only smoke after sex. I'm trying to work up a pack a day habit
IJustLikeToArgue
So then, currently, you don't smoke at all, I assume.

Welcome. We're all functioning addicts here!

I was just prescribed adderall. That makes being a functional-evening-alcoholic so much easier. Yay for morning energy and focus! Fuck.
AmArschdieRaeuber
Adderall is just legal speed. Look out for yourself
fleacollerindustry
The real challenge is being a functioning heroin addict. At least coke makes you energetic to work. Heroin, on the other hand...
skschneier
No such thing as a functioning heroin addict
AmArschdieRaeuber
There are some, when you use regulary the heroin barely effects you anymore. Costs a lot of money though
skschneier
Costs a LOT of money, and if for some reason you can't find what you need.....uh oh
slimstebow
Unless you're in a famous band and plan on dying in your late 20s
skschneier
Yeah I don't even know that counts as "functioning"
Chainhealer
Speak for yourself. I hardly function anymore!

Nah he can speak for me on this one

Someone asked Ron White if he's an alcoholic. He said no, he only drinks when he works, but he's a workaholic

Drinking and smoking marijuana at the same time increases your risk of alcohol poisoning and death.
