feargal Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 You're right about pros and cons Lee1979, but it does seem a little bit like Slimsid is just trying to get a reaction here. If (as he says) he can't spot drug users when he goes out, why on earth does he need to avoid bars with them in? I'm not a drug user myself, but I don't avoid places where there might be drugs about. It's like saying avoid crossing the road in case there's a hit and run - barmy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjlacey21 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Really Sid I hadn't realised you had an interest in those bars. Next you'll be telling me you're after a girlfriend or something crazy like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osiris Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Sid, alcohol is a drug! Alcohol is sold in bars! ALL BARS have drug users in them by definition. Sid, drugs are not the problem, people are the problem. If you want to avoid drugs you had better get used to the fact that you are going to be avoiding ALL social occasions for the rest of your life! NO WEDDINGS, NO PARTIES, NO FUN!!!! Just because you wish to avoid meeting people whose idea of acceptable or fun is different to yours. Sid get over your prejudices because you're about to become the loneliest guy in the world!

Bully_Beef Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 *Yawn* Is it just me or is this gradually becoming the most tedious thread in the history of the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxien Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Quote there are bad ones too and i think it only fair these should be pointed out, being aggitated, wide eyed, chewing intensely, sweating, talking rubbish, arrogance and i know there are more people on here will point out. UNQUOTE So you are saying, Lee, that only people on illegal drugs sweat, talk rubbish, show agitation or arrogance????? I think plenty of people drunk or even sober will show these signs!!! It still shows that there isnt much of a distinction between drug-users/non drug-users. Wide eyed and chewing, well thats true but not very noticable. I certainly have never seen anyone chewing intensely in all my nights out in clubs/bars!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyR Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Originally posted by maxien QUOTE I have been to both of these places several times and can't say I have noticed much of a drug culture. Then again I don't really know what to look out for. UNQUOTE these are symptoms of drug taking that i have witnessed in my experience (excluding heroin and crack as i have never knowingly witnessed anyone on those): laughing smiling hugging kissing enthusiasticly chatting happily dancing only they will prbably be doing and feeling these things more intesely then non drug takers as drugs enhance enjoyment. More accurately: laughing at things that aren't THAT funny (huh huh - a chair) smiling all the time (till the cheeks hurt) hugging everyone kissing everyone enthusiasticly chatting about wierd stuff and how good everything is happily dancing ALL NIGHT without a break. It depends on the drug of course. SOmeone on vallium doesn't do much at all. Whereas someone on acid could do anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lea1979 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Originally posted by maxien Wide eyed and chewing, well thats true but not very noticable. I certainly have never seen anyone chewing intensely in all my nights out in clubs/bars!!! Are you taking the p*ss ?? You must be going round with your eyes shut. You were pointing out all the good things about drug taking and I was simply pointing out the other things in the interest of fairness. And i'm not saying that people on drugs are the onlly ones like this but if your in a club, you can tell the people on drugs, those with any of the symptoms we have mentioned - thats all i'm saying.

Guest Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 basically drugs heighten certain emotions. Instead of being happy and liking your frineds you could instead like everyone (always a bit offputting I find and I've never been prone to this ) Also the wide eyed thing is a bit overplayed. I mean the only time I've been accused of being on drugs in clubs is when I've been really tired and had strained eyes although there is always that moment when you think/say that nothing is happening then you look at yourself in the mirror and "oh my god look at my eyes moment" I personally talk rubbish wether drinking or on drugs. You do tend to repeat yourself about 10 times on speed compared to 2 or 3 times drunk though. Sweating? that be a lot of dancing. Grinding of teeth. frustrating. especially when you are trying to snog someone. Bit of a handicap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
