Weed is probably 10x better for unwinding for me. I never saw it as a way to deal with conflicts of any sort, I like to smoke 1-2x a week and read a good book before bed. Alcohol usually just makes me want to drink more unless my mood is alright. It's weird how unacceptable it is socially to people (parents etc), though I guess it's not exactly legal but whatever, sue me. It's funny because if I told my parents I smoke 2-4 joints a week they'd flip shit assume I have a drug problem, yet if I told him I drank 6 beers a day on average they'd think nothing of it (def happy my average isn't that high and I plan on keeping things that way).
I also find with weed that I have no desire to get super baked, but with alcohol there's a part of me that wants to be highly intoxicated. wtf? I haven't been wasted since first weekend of the month when I visited brother so this is good (write off anyway since it wasn't by-self)
Anyway recap of last weeks drinking, had 4 or 5 beers Friday then on Saturday fellow cap regular and I hung out, bbq'd some massive steaks and had a few (1/2bottle of wine, 5 beers?) Didn't really keep track we had lots to talk about since it had been awhile. 1 beer last night w/ dinner. Was about to grab another but said fuck it, sunday grind and focused on the tables.
Also strangely enough I found reading the economist and trying to stay updated on financial news actually tilts the living fuck out of me so I stopped. Do I feel less informed about global politics and what the hell is going on with the euro? Yes. [ ] cares. I'm working on narrowing my focus of things to poker (with a bit of real estate reading on the side since I have plans for starting there with investing) for now because I find that trying to learn too much about too many things at once just leaves me underachieving at all of them. If I had $100million free cash to invest, then figuring out where in the world to place it would be pretty key. But I don't
