    Healthy people have more effective time travel machine: alcohol. Allows skipping half of the evening in a blinking of the eye.

      ADHD people have alcohol too, and it’s equally effective…but you only borrow the time travel, because time moves at 1/100th speed the next day.

              Same. I got blackout drunk twice in my life, the second time I spent most of the next day in the ER because I couldn’t even keep water down. The older I got, the less I could tolerate alcohol, to the point I would get sick and vomit before I could get to the point of blackout. I very rarely drink anymore now and it’s only one drink at the time at most.

                Could also be allergic, or just drinking stuff too fast or that’s too strong. Moderation of intake speed is key. But yeah, for you sounds not worth it.

                Yeah the right speed is key. Too slow and you get sleepy. Too fast and you get sick. Have to get drunk and then sick and sleepy so the drunk distracts from the constant body feeling and you dont notice the sick and sleepy anymore…for a little bit…

    Im sure thats why I love old things so much. I love getting in my time machine. But I enjoy sharing it with others too so I don’t think its too big a deal. I spend too much on old gear and spend time fixing it though ha!
