Used to smoke the leaf, but it got more expensive. Nickel bags started costing as much as Dime bags, and dime bags started costing as much as quarters Still drink though. Let's be honest, most alcohol, unless it comes in flavors, or is turned into a mixed drink, tastes like pure shit. You have to actually enjoy it, otherwise, the taste will put you off. For example, my favorite is a Rum & Coke. Simple. Mix Rum with Coca-Cola. (Specifically Blackheart rum, but if you can't find Blackheart, then Captain Morgan is a decent substitute). I don;t know many people who like Rum & Coke like me, so this probably won't be your preferred drink either. And I hate Vodka, which is most people's favorite, so I'm weird I guess.
One thing for new drinks I suggest, is if you want to get really fucked up with only a little drinking, eat something sugary while you drink. Idk why, but sugar gives an extra kick. Not too much though or you'll just get sick. However, if you are scared of getting too buzzed, try and eat little bites of food while you drink. It doesn't stop the buzz entirely, but it can calm it down. Some people get drunk, enjoy it for an hour, and then eat a whole plate of food. That can be a bit harsh, and it mostly depends on one's own tolerance, but eating afterwards does speed up the sobering period, though again, it depends on tolerance. If you are an extreme lightweight, only puking will help speed up the sobering period lol.
Anyway, the best thing to drink, that tastes good, is fairly cheap in comparison to hard liquor, and can still get you buzzed depending on how many you drink since it has a low alchol content, is wine coolers. Wine coolers to me, are for casual drinkers. People who drink with buds or just want a little something to finish a rough day without getting sloppy and really drunk. I suggest starting with wine coolers as a first introduction.
