All great artists drink or imbibe some substance to fully access the "flower of the mind" as described by emerson. but there is a large enough population of DK's (Dunning Krugers) who are convinced they are the next fucking coming of Da Vinci here to revolutionize the art world, because unironically, without an anti-psychotic to balance it out, even weed will eventually give you megalomania.

Drinking is fine, its a depressant and honestly >>6680269
is like almost the fucking perfect vibe of paintign to have a beer, boat and all. You could be peak conservative realism.

The fact you are questioning it and having doubts are good signs you still have your intellect.

despite what >>6680239

say it boils down to 3+1 categories:

light drinker/drugger - drinks and drugs cigs at parties almost exclusively. socially enabled.

Heavy - Drinks in excess, but will stop upon health concerns arising ie "if you dont stop drinking youll lose your liver" "oh ok, i should stop then." then actually stops/lightens up

Addict- Dr Jekyll and Mr hyde - nicest person but cannot handle their shit without eventually doing some sketchy fucked up shit like wanting to fight, steal, you name it.

Special case: Marijuana is a perfectly legitimate pain reliever due to its documented medical use.

EVERYTHING IN MODERATION, ESPECIALLY MODERATION

PRACTICE HARM REDUCTION, inform those who do chose to partake in risks of drug use, but do not preach unto them as this is largely pointless in those who do, (sauce : myself) so do what you can.

pic related is my shit on different substances but tl;dr

ENHANCE an already good mood with drinking. Drink to feel better, don't drink to feel good.
If you feel like shit, don't drink. Take a break. Stop thinking about art and existential shit like your life. You're OK. You're only human, you've earned a breather.
