I regret my sobriety now.

That's not even that good a deal is it? Over a pound a can, usually get multipack deals at supermarkets over here (UK) that give less than £1 per can.

Plus it's Budweiser, you couldn't pay me $4699.95 to drink one of those

Sobriety is better. Some mornings when I wake up I think wow, no hangover. More motivation to accomplish something, even if small.

Besides, if you are going to do a drug. Alcohol is the most boring drug there is, hands down. Past two drinks, quite toxic. 5-HT 2a agonist class is where its at and not toxic, but powerful.
Although rare some peoples liver metabolize it quickly. Those are the people who wake up with virtually no hangover.
10% of the population have different mitochondria and there liver metabolizes it in a toxic way and has an effect on opioid receptors of the brain. Those are the people who drink and its like WOW party yea! MORe. Sick the next day.

I suffer from pancreatitis. Doctor told me that my system simply cannot process alcohol anymore. Been almost 5 years sober.

Opioids (percocet, oxycodone) are BEST drugs EVER!
NO negative side-effects, unlike every other drug I've ever taken.
And, if I take too much, at worst I suffer a headache.
Then I just go off it for a week and come back down to lower levels.

I've never drunk alcohol, never smoked tobacco, never smoked pot.
Not ever once for any of these.

Anti-drug idiots have absolutely no right to complain about anything
anyone NOT on drugs does, whether its mass shootings or flying
airplanes into buildings. Those events are just different arrangements
of atoms. The ONLY thing that matters to anti-drug fascists
is forcing THEIR ideology, THEIR political beliefs onto people who
choose to put drugs into their own bodies. Denying them their fascism
is the most HORRIBLE thing imaginable to an anti-drug Nazi.
But not trivially unimportant small things like mass shootings or
flying airplanes into buildings.

Exactly why I have no respect for the easy comfy welfare-sucking jobs
of cops, judges, and prison guards who imprison people for decades
for drug offenses. And, "violent", doesn't make an offense any "worse".
It makes it better: it means a person fought for their freedom.

If cops & judges & prison guards don't like their jobs: then quit.
Get a real job in free-market capitalist economy.
