Still dry and I ain't sure if this is really an improvement on my previous life. I used to either be at work or drinking. Now what I got is work and a fuckton of free time that I mostly spend shitposting here.

WTF no it doesn't. It's a med for epilepsy and nerve pain. If anything it interferes with brain function interrupting nerve firings making contact with waiting nerve receptors so they can't connect much of the time, ie no extra activity, but the therapeutic does have the side effect that reduces mental clarity in a large scale. Every word will be on the tip of your tongue and unable to be recalled. Pain will be less though! If your pain is something mysterious like fibromyalgia, it can be improved as well.

I went completely off the rails back in April and may. Had to leave my job at a winery in Australia in the middle of the night and still had subletters in my apartment so got a cabin in the middle of the woods with no tv and shit internet. Got blasted on martinis and negronis and vodka tonic and box wine every day.
Now I've cut out the liquor entirely. Still drink beer and wine but 7 beers or a bottle and some of wine is an entirely different game.

>Go out for a drink.
>The decor is sometimes nice and the beer is usually good but spirits are prohibitively expensive, a lot of pubs and bars look awful inside thanks to remodelling, the price is appalling, many blast awful music and you can't smoke indoors, which means that either everyone goes outside, you split the group, or you suffer bad weather.

>Stay in for a drink
>Can buy the same quality beer from breweries directly or just stick with bottled stuff which tastes perfectly good.
>Spirits are actually affordable which makes cocktails a thing and more than just covering the bottom of a glass for under five pounds an option.
>Can control what is/isn't listened to and the volume.
>Can actually sit and have a smoke, allowing you to actually enjoy a pipe or cigar without having to go away from the group.

I'm bored, but also stressed because of all the uncertainty at the moment.

Practically everyone I know increased their booze intake during lockdown, and now even though the bars and restaurants are back open (South Australia) people are still drinking to excess on a regular basis.

Great, we dodged corona and saved a couple thousand crusty old boomers from death. But how many countless more people will have years shaved off their lives due to the burgeoning epidemic of alcoholism this whole thing has caused?

My nigga!

I found about Gabapentin when I took this part time job at a pill production factory.
Apparently they had a shipment of these pills which already left on a ship but they have found out after that it came out too "dusty, apparently it makes the pills harder to swallow or some shit.
Anyways, enter a huge, bright lit white room, all walls in the factory including this room are made from glass and are completely transparent.
There is a large long table in the center of the room, with a plastic wrap, and tons of boxes filled with bottles of this pills on the side of the room.
Our job was to open these bottles and splii the pills on the table, and roughly sort them, separating the broken parts and the whole pills into two sacks.
After about a week there, I got interested in these pills so I googled the name and Erowid comes up.
>okay.png
So I read that it goves a nice high etc..
Come the next day, take 4 pills (recommended dosage from Erowid)..
About half an hour later, starting to feel happy and lightheaded - kinda like being drunk.
Another hour passes, holy shit, I feel all the fun parts about alcohol
>euphoria
>happiness
>lightheartedness
but none of the downsides:
>hangover
>headache
>peeing too much etc..

So I told everyone at work that that shit's great, and almost everyone started popping them pills every day, it was hilarious!

I managed to sneak out about 2 kilos of the pills over the course of a month and ahlaf of working there, they were an instant hit at any raves I went to, people were fucking amazed how nice they feel and they were willing to pay me ( I never accepted and gave them away.

You don't get copper poisoning from a copper still. If that was the case, every person who drank single malt scotch would be dead. Kayser–Fleischer rings are how you know if you have Wilson's Disease, but that doesn't come from stills. Stills end up with an oxide and a coating on top of the oxide that keeps you from getting any copper in the distillate. If your distillate is blue, then it has copper in it, other than that, don't fret. Even then it doesn't matter.
