Is the feeling somewhat similar to when you're really tired and everything amuses you?

My friend just said that to me and I have no frame of reference to challenge him with.

I'm drunk now. It's light headedness with lowered inhibitions. AMA

Sleep deprivation is a kind of high, so your friend is somewhat right. It's not nearly as powerful as actual alcohol/weed intoxication, though.

I neither fear, nor despise.
Being drunk has had some differences each time. I'm either hyper and goofy, or super tired.

If I've gotten really drunk, then I feel like shit and want to just lay around til my stomach calms the fuck down. I feel dizzy and unbalanced.

But what are you high on? Your body is lacking something by being tired.

It can be, but it's different too. I've been shitfaced and overflowing with energy. Tonight I'm tempted to just go to bed. There are several factors.

Being drunk amplifies who you are that day by lowering your inhibitions.

You're not "high" in the sense that it's actually used, because, as you said, there's no substance to get high off of. Your brain just lacks the rest it needs, so it starts operating on the bare minimum of mental processes. A side effect of that is a washed out, high-like feeling.

I've never gotten shitfaced though, like I'm barfing in the toilet for several hours.

I just drink fast because I don't feel like waiting \).___.)/

And then the wave comes haha

I've been happy drunk before. I dunno, I just feel dumbfounded at everything, and I laugh a lot.

being straight edge is fine. being haughty and judgmental towards those who consume intoxicating substances is not. if you're "challenging" your friend, im not inclined to believe that you're entirely motivated by curiosity; tell me how you really feel about people who drink or do recreational drugs.

Well it just sounded stupid to me, is all. I was actually motivated by curiousity.

But as for how I feel about those kinds of people... I don't really blame them for wanting to escape from this boring and often cruel life for a few hours, whether that be through drugs or other forms of entertainment.

Life sucks, and I'd rather experience it sober to fully understand how much. But that's a personal choice, and I don't really care what others do in their free time.

And FYI, there's nothing from with being haughty or judgmental. People just won't like you much, is all. But if that's not a priority for you, then why would you limit yourself? It feels good to be like that.

No, the people who AREN'T like Verbatim. Normal people.

People won't like if you ARE haughty/judgmental. But if you don't care about people liking you, you have nothing to gain from NOT being like that.

Being drunk is like:

Have you ever had one of those situations where you kinda feel on top of the world? You feel like you have no inhibitions and can say or do anything you want cause whoooooo caaaarreeeess

Along with that, you are also kinda pretty disoriented. Have you ever woken up in the middle of the night having to use the bathroom, so you walk through the dark in a weird dreamlike haze? It's also like this except without the sleepiness

Along with that, your emotions are heightened. For example, i'm always EXTREMELY enthusiastic. If another drunk person says something like "aaayyyyyye" i'll stop whateber i'm doing and say "aaaayyyyyyeee" and they'll respond again like"aayyyye" and it's really stupid but pretty funny also.

Also imagine turning your head to the side very fast, and then your brain catching up with whatever you see about a second later. If you get what I mean

That's what being drunk is like for me. Also i'd much rather be drunk than high any day. I don't do much of either anymore tho

Experiences with intoxication vary from person to person. Depends on your environment, personality, and what you're consuming.

My advice would be to read through some of the experiences archived over at Erowid. Gives some very important perspective.

When I'm drunk everything becomes hilarious to me and I become really talkative, I also become really aware of my surroundings but just say silly things instead..
