Marijuana or Alcohol?

[calveless wonder]

I wouldn't think twice about drinking two glasses of wine the night before the test. And my glasses run a little large, so technically it's probably closer to three glasses.

I wouldn't consider smoking the night before or really even the day before that. For me personally (N=1), it takes me 1-2 days to be able to do high-end mental tasks after using pot (or some harder drugs, for that matter).

three glasses of wine the night before an important test for a dream job?

That sounds like alcoholic tendencies.

a.) you said you never drink anymore

b.) I doubt when you have gotten drunk off wine you've downed like 2 bottles to the face. But i guarantee when you've drank liquor you've taken 10+ shots

obviously something more syrupy will make a difference too, as will cheap wine.

c.) Champagne (don't get me started on sparkling wine) is universally known to give you one of the worst hangovers. as someone who's drank Champagne regularly since high school, i can tell you i never feel worse than when drinking a bottle of champagne to the dome.

I don't drink anymore, and do you remember why? Because I drank too much. And there have been a couple instances I've drank plenty of wine, maybe not two bottles but I can think of a night I went through 2 bottles with a friend, so roughly 1 bottle and I don't remember the hangover being worse than liquor hangovers, and that's saying something considering I'm allergic to most wine.

And with champagne I've probably only ever had maybe 3 glasses at a time, but I don't remember waking up and feeling like death.

Just my experience.

Yeah, but that sounds like unqualified Internet speculation from a stoner desperate for a bunch of e-people he's never met before to validate his recreational drug choices.

Yeah, there probably isn't any such thing as "burnout" or "stoners".

Except that the scientific literature has studied it.

Even this guy thinks you aren't making any sense now:

lol@ scientific literature studying "burnout" and "stoners". there is a reason why psychology programs are almost always a BA instead of a BS

alcohol on the other hand dehydrates you and fucks your liver up - literally poisons you and thus gives you a hang over

and just for the sake of leading you on (to be crushed in the end) say that indeed there is a "pot fog hang over"

do you honestly think this "groggy pot fog" is more detrimental to daily productivity than being severely dehydrated and puking ones guts out as the room spins?

Let's try it this way. Tomorrow you are interviewing for the job of your lifetime. It's 4x what you'd want in pay and it is dead-on with how you envision your career. Your would-be boss is amazing in every way. You're a finalist in the #1 position for the job.

But there's a catch: You're going to take one more exam to complete your interview. It's LSAT/GRE-level logical arguments, critical thinking, logic games and reading comprehension. If you don't shine on the test, the job slips through your fingers.

So now, the night before the test, do you smoke? I don't mean smoking a stupid amount of pot, but definitely enough to feel the effects strongly. Think of it like me drinking three full glasses of wine.

You gonna risk it? If there's no next-day fog, shouldn't you partake?

i would rather smoke 1 or 2 bowls the night before than drink 3 glasses of wine the night before. but in reality that quantity of each wont have an affect on your test the next day.

if it was a "you have to smoke till you pass the fuck out" or "drink till you pass the fuck out" scenario, id choose smoking, because if it was drinking, the majority of people would sleep through their alarm, and puke away half the morning

I wouldn't be stupid enough to smoke or drink before a test like that.

a "stoner" doesn't smoke maybe 10-12 times total in the past 8 or 9 months.

you know what I did? I got drunk last night, and i'm hungover as balls.

Unlike you, i can look at things objectively.

clearly i struck a nerve because you got very defensive.
