i personally won't touch "mind altering" substances and neither does Master. i mean occasionally when we're at a social get-together W/we'll have a little wine or champaigne but aside from that W/we just prefer not to, just don't like the taste. Technically seeing as i'm 18 and He's 19 W/we shouldn't be drinking at all, but this is Texas and if ya ain't chasin the keg as soon as yer old enough to run then ya got a problem lol. so yeah i totally got off topic but in my opinion getting high/drunk is disgusting and there are so many cooler ways to die. not gonna start preaching, to each his own,but i definetly would avoid it in bdsm for safety reasons.
