For me it's alcohol, tobacco, and coffee. I've been experimenting with Kratom lately, haven't noticed much of an effect. I don't like weed. Even if I take a bunch of CBD and don't get paranoid, I don't like having my thoughts disjointed and hard to focus.

Alcohol! Goddamn, I love alcohol. I don't even like being drunk, I just like drinking. A glass of Ezra Brooks about 4 nights a week is my go-to, but every so often I'll get on a kick of mixing up cocktails. Lately it's been whiskey, chocolate coffee liqueur, coke and a few dashes of bitters. Fucking delicious. I do love beer, but it's not my go-to. When I drink beer, I want to drink good beer. Schlenkerla, Lizard of Koz, anything dark and rich. It's an expensive habit though, so it's a neat glass of bourbon most nights.

Cigars are enjoyable, occasionally. But I'm always going to have a soft spot for an unfiltered Lucky every so often.

Coffee makes the world go 'round, as far as I'm concerned. I don't like the caramel-cream-pumpkin-frappe-latte-cappu-unicorn jizz-whateverthefuck abortions of coffee that are available these days though from little miss I-can't-pay-off-my-gender-studies-degree at the local coffee shop, though. That shit is more sugar than coffee. Just brew up a pot, and slam that shit down. Cheap, simple and efficient. As far as I'm concerned, only five things ever belong in coffee: whiskey, salt, gunpowder, indiscriminate rage and more coffee.

.I'm a simple guy, so it's coffee and beer for me.
