fucking truth right here. I don't care about smoking weed or benzos in light amounts because honestly that doesn't really fuck you up (benzos only if you do a ton and often it can fuck up your memory) but alcohol on the other hand fucks up your memory, liver, protein, etc. If you're living any sort of active lifestyle or have to be fit alcohol can be one of the most destructive drugs out there haha, you're better off smoking a bit of weed every once in a while and chilling out. alcohol really does fuck with your mood too, the day after drinking a lot I usually feel pretty bummed whereas if I have a good trip or just chill and smoke I generally feel pretty good.
edit: do those girls not smoke or something? if it's really that important to you you could just smoke with them instead or something haha
