    But not really because, smoking before drinking is good, smoking after drinking not good.

    Doesn't count for me btw. I'm usually dying for a J after drinking beers for a while and I'm rarely disappointed how it works out.

    My gramma studied some kind of religion at home and she hit me with the one that would seemingly cure all of humanitys ills--(IMO) "Do unto others as you would have them do to you."

    Sure it is.

    Weed before beer, in the clear. Beer before grass, on your ass.

    About twenty year ago I went to some group therapy sessions run by a very kind and wise nun. One of the things which has still stuck in my mind is what she called discounting. Don't discount yourself or others out of hand. E.g. 'I'm not good enough to go for that job, to ask someone out etc.' Or: 'They're not good enough for me, they're not worth being my friend etc.' Another piece of advice she gave is: 'If you don't know, check out'. Meaning if you don't know e.g. what someone thinks about you, or what they want or don't want, ask them. Don't play the guessing game and waste time going through endless permutations and combinations. Nobody is a mind reader. Just ask them. A final one which I've just remembered is 'Don't let anyone lose face'. No one likes to be made a fool of in front of others. It's about respecting other people.

    that's probably the quote, but it's not quote what you said originally...

    it is the best combination, but it has potential to ruin your weekend if you don't do it right. basically, you can't over do either one of them if you're combining like that; too much of either and shit starts spinning.

    Experience has thought me this all stands or falls with a good meal beforehand.
    But no matter what precaution or principle: you can always over do beer if you just drink too much... :p

    You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
    Know when to walk away and know when to run.

    "Look both ways before crossing the street", as grandma always told me as a kid. I've seen several people get hit by cars throughout my lifetime, and it looks like it hurt pretty fuckin bad. Glad I listened to grandma.
    Thanks grandma, RIP

    Some advice from an old alcoholic in recovery about how not to be an alcoholic was pretty good advice. He was a big fan of James Bond movies. Anyway...
