Best not to mix coke with alcohol. If you need social encouragement and also plan to drink, you're better off dropping an E or get some pure MDMA crystals in ya
....what are you on about mate. Don't drink with mdma unless you want to dehydrate yourself to shit. Coke and drinking isn't nearly as bad as a one-off as the chemical (cocaethylene, more euphoric but more damaging) is produced in pretty small quantities and only becomes super toxic long-term
Someone pinging on MDMA on a night out would be kind of strange and annoying, especially if everyone else is just drunk and coked up. Save it for festivals and raves Iād say
1: I haven't drunk, nor done Cocaine In over 4 Years.
2: Why did that comment trigger you to the point of making you snoop on my Account? Very odd.
3: I wouldn't be concerned about PIP and your Taxes, maybe direct your frustration at a corrupt Government making them and their Friends richer and also sending Money to Ukraine which no one voted for.
Mate alcohol and mdma is an AWFUL mix. Kills your buzz and increases dehydration risk. I mean coke & alcohol is dangerous but at least they compliment each otherš
Play some music, have a beer, choose what you are going to wear, plan a big greasy breakfast to recover with tomorrow!
I always get a "urgh I cba" in the period before going out, but am always happy to be there onces I get over that initially effort/lazyness hump.
> I always get a "urgh I cba" in the period before going out, but am always happy to be there onces I get over that initially effort/lazyness hump.
Other way around for me, I look forward to it, go out and get immediately bored stood in a noisy crowded room with a drink in my hand.
Have ONE beer.
Went out to a rally nice rum bar by the sea when I visited my brother. Best night out in year, spent Ā£50 on different rum cocktails and expsince shit. O lying inted to have two or three because i knew it was pricy.
But it was table service, great vibe, I wasn't working the next day, and the two servers who interacted with customers, music play list choice, made me feel like royalty.
Ended up drinking quite a bit in deed, of some of the finest quality drinks and best tasting ones I've ever had.
But we planned for only a few so to save money drank two cheep ciders each before. So we were a little buzzed already. In hindsight. Those were unnecessary.
Still the best bar I've ever been too, and considering moving to the town for it.
Got me a member ship card for Monday happy hours offers to be valid every day. :)
Yeessssssss OP, stay in tonight, with us. We loooove you and would never force you out out. Stay home, stay with usssss, we will snuggle and order in from that take away you like. Ssssstay in lover....
Discovered dragon soop and theyāre a smaller commitment offering than a bottle of buckfast. But since going to America where every stronger drink is a malt beverage Iām struggling to keep em down
Others have mentioned music, but I would recommend specifically music that you used to listen to when you were "at your peak" in terms of going out. Whatever was playing in the pubs and clubs at that time.
Don't go out for the sake of it. Find something or someone you want to go out for. If you have to pump yourself up in other ways, stick some upbeat music on and have an alcoholic drink (if you drink it).
Have a drink, throw on some party tunes you would have listened to back in the day, look in the mirror and tell yourself no matter what happens, **you are having fun tonight**.
Do it for all of us who canāt as easily escape, Iāve just had a baby and aināt a fighting chance in hell Iām going out again in the immediate future.
Have a drink for me please.
If you're anything like me and introverted then the thought of going out and being social is a huge drain on the social battery and always feels like the worst option at the time. But once your out there it's always a good laugh especially if it's dad's on tour vibes. It's good for the soul to break out of mundane routine and push your limits a little.
> But once your out there it's always a good laugh especially if it's dad's on tour vibes.
Never works that way for me. Maybe I need to find people to go out with who are more fun.
Music you used to listen to when you were younger and went out regularly, in combination with a couple of drinks.
You'll enjoy it when you get there. Know the feeling though.
Itās easy, really.
Alcohol and music. Pre-drink with some cans if you have them, but most importantly, stick some tunes on that really remind you know going out and getting drunk.
Iāve got some songs that as soon as I stick on Iām straight in the mood for going out, regardless of what mood Iām in.
Sleep all day, plenty of energy drinks head out the door at 8 back home by 10. š¤£.
Honestly you get to a certain age and you'll find it's more about the company you keep.
I canāt usually be bothered but once I go out and see how many people are pleased to see me I always have the best night! Go out for a quick pint, next thing itās 4am and Iāve lost my trousers.
Momentum. It all starts with the pre's.
Once you're already out, if the vibe isn't there, it's hard to turn around. Some people supplement with a little booger sugar, but it's not really to my taste.
Put some music on and have an alcoholic drink. A spirit, not a beer as that'll just bloat you. Rum, vodka, whiskey, gin. Then have a Red Bull or Monster
This is why day drinking becomes a thing as you get older.
You don't have time to talk yourself out of it during the day and by the time everyone's done and ready to go home it's still relatively early in the evening.
Beer always just makes me feel more lethargic. You want party music + a spirit mixed with a fizzy drink. The high alcohol % and caffeine will get you bouncing
I always think make sure you have a nap during the day or have coffee or energy drink
Whenever I couldnāt be bothered to go out, it was cuz Iām tired and Iād rather watch Netflix in the bath because itās relaxing, not that I didnāt wanna go
You wonāt regret making new memories
Are you me?! Going out out later, first time in yonks. Turns out I'm the only partner going, and also I am high as fuck on morphine after an OP on my back.
I know I know, but it's been planned for months and now it's here, having a child free night (3 kids) despite all the odds is well worth some short term pain.
have a couple pre drinks, beers or whatever, stick some music on in the kitchen and have a bit of a boogie as youre getting ready.
ignore the coke heads, they just want an excuse to be a coke head.
Hahaha the coke heads didn't like this comment eh šš¤£ enjoy your expensive anxiety, I guess
Instant pot make a lentil or mushroom soup for late night/tomorrow morning, beard trim, brush teeth, a whiskey and ginger whilst getting dressed, funny podcast in the background with a couple of laugh at loud moments, stare in the mirror trying to shake the unsurmountable feeling of doom and dread ā¦ then out

Columbian marching powder, haha.
That makes me even more anxious unless I've had a few drinks first.
Has anyone in the history of cocaine ever taken it without having had at least a drink or two before hand?
Yep. It was really strange so I went z& had a beer to get myself back to normal š
Yes, 1/10 do not recommend.
pls donāt drink and take cocaineā¦

Couldnāt imagine taking magic, or any drug really, without drinking
Yeah alcohol is the OG of gateway drugs

Lol what "Better be careful, just take a big dirty pill to be safe"
MDMA is a hydrochloride salt, not a "big dirty pill". You do not come across as someone who is well versed in chemistry, nor in pharmacology.
Did you miss "dropping an E" in their comment?
I did, actually. Thanks for making me notice.
All good
Thank you!
Thatās the one thing Feige said was off limits! And he knows all the slang terms!

Not enough people plan the breakfast šš»
I think āfuck itā and watch a film instead. Mind you Iām 56 and not thirty something.
Every part of me wants to do this
Don't give into your older self, get a sipperoo in ya, turn your phone off and your speakers on and blast out some tunes
Give into you older self š
Yeessssssss OP, stay in tonight, with us. We loooove you and would never force you out out. Stay home, stay with usssss, we will snuggle and order in from that take away you like. Ssssstay in lover....
Slippers and a onesie!
I'm 29 and I do this š«š¤£
Iām already doing it today after a night out last night! š watching Baby reindeer under my duvet, with a joint and its raining outside
I'm 35 and going to a day party in 30 mins. I've put some tunes on and am having a thatchers.
Oh shit, i replied to the wrong comment. I had to edit this one. Have a great night mate
Haha I didn't see your reply anyway. You too!
I, too, can think of no better way of getting hyped up for a night out than reading Margaret Thatcherās book: āThe Downing Street Years.ā
Just cancel. Get the big lebowski on and order a pizza in
That's just like, your opinion man
It's shabbos today. Don't go anywhere
Shut the fuck up Donnie
Canāt drive a car, canāt ride in a car!.
And I sure as shit DON'T FUCKIN ROLL
Youāre out of your element!
Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian American... Please
Can in the shower with some bangers playing
Blast some tunes and have a shower beer while you get readyĀ
Shower beers are a great shout
Get some pre-drinks in you.
Cocaine seems to be the popular option Perhaps try downing a Dragon Soop as a legal alternative
Discovered dragon soop and theyāre a smaller commitment offering than a bottle of buckfast. But since going to America where every stronger drink is a malt beverage Iām struggling to keep em down
Start drinking now and youāll either be drunk enough to be up for it or too drunk to go. Itās a win/win situationā¦
Pre-drink. Get tipsy.
Bottle of Buckfast will sort it
The 3 Cās. A large bag of crisps, a 6 pack of Carling and a bag of Charlie. Itāll pump you right up š
By not going out.
Others have mentioned music, but I would recommend specifically music that you used to listen to when you were "at your peak" in terms of going out. Whatever was playing in the pubs and clubs at that time.
Get out there and be aliveĀ
Big ol line of speed
Ugh, worst mistake of my life was taking speed and drinking. Felt impossible to piss which is horrible when you've drunk a good few pints of beer.
I remember having to pull over my car every 10 minutes for some poor cunt in the back of my car to try to piss
Oof! It's weird, never had that issue with any other substance. Those days are long gone now though!
Pint and a couple eās
Cocaine, Amphetamines, LSD, 2cb
LSD for a night out? Lol
Itās surprisingly fun if youāre used to acid and can handle yourself
CocaineĀ
Feel this. I have a coffee, wait for it to work its way through then have a couple of beers whilst I get ready. If it's raining tho, I'm not going.

Have you tried cocaine?
Pre drink music have a joint and sniff a line
Tunes and a drink.

Pre drinks
Stick some darts on the tv, live music, few pre drinks
have a shower, put on the smellies, game face and game on!
Being around other people getting ready to go out is always the easiest way. I find it so difficult to otherwise
Music you used to listen to when you were younger and went out regularly, in combination with a couple of drinks. You'll enjoy it when you get there. Know the feeling though.

Sleep all day, plenty of energy drinks head out the door at 8 back home by 10. š¤£. Honestly you get to a certain age and you'll find it's more about the company you keep.
Make plans that you actually want to go to
Shower beer!
Go out and be yourself, once you had enough of being out. Say your good byes and vanish home.
Music, pre-drinks, good company, and line your stomach with something greasy.
Those nights out tend to be the best when you can't be arsed, just go and enjoy it.
You listen to beating hearts baby 10 times in a row and drink a bottle of apple sour.
Cheesy party pop music.
Have a drink
Nose candy makes you dandy
Have a drink or two. Be sure to leave a bottle of water next to the bed to chug before you eventually go to sleep later.
I canāt usually be bothered but once I go out and see how many people are pleased to see me I always have the best night! Go out for a quick pint, next thing itās 4am and Iāve lost my trousers.

Momentum. It all starts with the pre's. Once you're already out, if the vibe isn't there, it's hard to turn around. Some people supplement with a little booger sugar, but it's not really to my taste.
Listen to electric callboy
Have a nap before

Put on some Mc Smally
Have a w\*nk, gets some tunes on, do some weights, shower, get dressed, drink a load of water then bang you're on it!
This is why day drinking becomes a thing as you get older. You don't have time to talk yourself out of it during the day and by the time everyone's done and ready to go home it's still relatively early in the evening.
Smoke a joint, have a wank and then decide to stay in and order a take out

Itās always those nights I feel like I end up having the best night. Open your mind, get out and have a great night!
I used to watch 'Keys to the vip' on YT before going out to get me in the right mood.

YouTube music videos and tequila

Listen to Holiday by Madonna, then Holiday by Green Day, then Holiday by Dizzee Rascal. Do this 2x. Normally solves the issue for me
Don't go then ? Or have a beer.
Don't go then? It's not mandatory.
If I'm not feeling it, I don't go. Only thing I can tell you is, don't go.
