Side effects of 'mood enhancing' substances

Before I start this blog post, I would like to make it clear... Alcohol is bad... marijuana is bad... in fact all 'mood enhancing' substances which are consumed without a prescription from a doctor is BAD. I do not condone nor do I promote the use of such substances. I'm a very naughty person for using such substances. You should not use me as a role model!

Now that's been said, I want to tell you a very bad side effect that I have when I use mood enhancing substances... It's not the hangover... I can deal with that. Is the fact that I'm brutally honest!! Do not start an argument with me. I can be very cool, calm and collective during a 'discussion', but at some alcohol, and damnit, you will get a piece of my mind! Do not ask questions that you do not want the answer to. I will not sugar coat it like when I'm sober.

Mainly, my problem is, I tell the truth... even though it's the brutal truth. Thank goodness I don't keep any secrets from LOML (except maybe for the existence of this blog), so when she asks questions when I'm under influence, she gets an answer that will make her fall even more in love with me. And she could trust the answer because she knows I tell the truth when I'm in that state.

But sometimes, there are tiny little issues that I choose not to raise with people for the simple reason that they are "TINY ISSUES" and not worth getting worked up about. But when under influence, they come out!

These tiny issues, when coupled with my "superior when under influence debating skills" result in these tiny issue becoming huge issues... and I end up not being able to sleep because they haunt my dreams.

This rarely happens, but it really ruins a night of partying!

I'm thankful that LOML was very understanding the last time that happened! ;) But now she knows the little things that she does that bug me. As they say at the end of the GI Joe cartoons... "knowing is half the battle!"
