I enjoy wine tasting or a beer now and then. I mean maybe 5 servings of alcohol a year max. It doesn't seem to do much to me but make me a bit more social (not my hypomanic social ).

When I was in college I did drink more often, but decided to stop when I got myself sick on a binge. I hate being out of control so I decided alcohol wasn't my bag. What's funny is that I refused all offers of alcohol and cocaine when I was hypomanic because I couldn't imagine feeling any better than I already did. I also thought "the men in white coats will come get me if I snort coke!". I wasn't up for being drug out of the most exclusive party on campus by the EMT service....

I guess I am a boring bipolar...very little booze, never took street drugs, don't even smoke. I am a caffeine addict. I LOVE how it makes me feel. I thought coffee shops were popular because EVERYONE got the same thing out of caffeine that I do. My hubby says uh...no dear.
