Cocaine in absinthe? :lolwut:


That's what I thought. But apparently it was a special kind, and it did blow my mind a bit, so who knows?

I'm certainly not in a rush to try it again though. :p: I'll stick with Tequila. :cool:

Ok, in that case I don't think smoking isn't worth it, a lot of extra risk for very little benefit.


That'll do the trick :p:

ADREAM died?


Alas! King of appropriately timed interjections!

Such a load of ********. Steroids do way more damage than alcohol, and a hell of a lot faster. And if you're the type of person to take them, you're also the type of person that couldn't give them up easily.


I agree particularly wrt the second graph thingy very dubious and no source whatsoever.
The above one I know of, it was produced on a horizon episode, though how expert the experts are I don't know.
I did only post them more as an accademic matter rather than for anything else :p:

Jessaay!
That means almost nothing to me :eyeball: it looks ridiculously confusing and the way it's set out looks kind of biased :p: but the way I see it, alcohol is usually consumed in such a way that it's not usually to damaging levels. Also, there are more people who drink alcohol than smoke I imagine now, so there will be more deaths, but I don't have any statistical evidence for that. Among the younger generation that is true, at least.

Never had Tequila :frown:
I'll just stick with my one glass for the night of Malibu and pineapple juice that gets me chattering about anything and everything and finding the simplest of things, such as a lampost or a man walking his dog, hilarious. :redface:

I see know need to dress it up anymore than that, but I can work quite happily with just numbers and probabilities :dontknow:

I do hope he is well.


I have met the requests of a PM or two and responded to that 'why do you regret doing medicine' if anyone could check it for me and see if I have forgotten anything.

Hope all are well, and in good health.

As I said interesting, not necessarily of merit :p:

Well I think the gist is that neither is good for you. Water and fresh air is the way to go.

BUT we are students and our livers can (sort of) metabolise alcohol the overall solution is obvious...

Lets have a pint.:yes:

Didn't mean to go on a rant, it's just that I despise anabolic steroids and those who take them. It's an utterly pathetic thing to do.

You're just not being very personal about it, but it doesn't matter, i'm being a **** as usual and reading into things, which isn't fair on you - i'm sorry

Yes but everything is a risk factor really, I up my rads unecessarily by living in cornwall, but don't have city smog to deal with which also has negative affects.
Everything you do has risks, you have to decide wheter to take them or not.
