SRS - My anti drug - quincy - 2010-10-07
Once I started using Anki a bit more seriously I started to get scared of how alcohol and marijuana would affect my memory, and now I've quit both altogether. I wasn't addicted to either (I did smoke everyday, but getting over that is too easy to call it an addiction), but I didn't have hesitations about using them by myself. Now every time I feel like having a drink or a smoke I just worry about how it might mess up what I've learned today (as I type this now there's a few liters of liquor literally right behind me). I've never had problems with school so I guess this is the first time I've really wanted to remember something.
Anyone else have second thoughts about drinking just from fear of facing your srs the next morning?

I seriously doubt that either of those drugs, in moderation, would really impair your studies.
However, doing either of them every single day is a bit much. Getting high or drinking once or twice a week is not gonna mess up your studies.
Getting drunk helps my Japanese--Japanese office parties would be way worse without alcohol, and I wouldn't be nearly as talkative without it.

True.
I actually speak better when I drink.
Memory loss related to alcohol is really for addicts (heavy daily use), but I know marijuana has a much more impairing effect on memory (from experience), so I guess you were right to quit. Alcohol is more like a moral impairer (hangovers).
You can still re-start tomorrow.
And as Tza said, a little recreative social consumption at the weekends cannot do much harm.

I think it's great that you've found something meaningful and satisfying enough to replace using drugs and/or alcohol. Improving oneself is much more satisfying than getting high or drunk. Not to mention the money you will save...

I try to avoid breathing, don't want to kill my precious brain cells.

I must say I agree with you, quincy, that alcohol doesn't help the reps at all.. but then, everything in moderation.

The problem is my breathing is so powerful. Ever seen Enter the Dragon? When Bruce Lee got knocked down, that was from me breathing yesterday.

No wait I think I got it wrong. I'm supposed to play up how awesome Bruce Lee is.
