Well now. An under-the-influence post is something we haven't seen around here in a while. Sure, @Airborne Daddy will knock back 6 beers and throw in his 2 cents on a topic now and then, and @Gr33dyOctopus comes across like he's on 80's drugs when really it's only reta and oxygen. Beyond that, though, that's pretty much it.

I figure a pint of whiskey is on the menu for me tonight....

Tirz has totally killed my ability to drink. The thought of booze makes me sick—I can't even stand the scent anymore.

I ended up having to begin again with this company, so now I'm on 2.2 mg each week. Honestly it isn't doing much at all lol

Alright folks, this is being dictated by voice right now, so bear with me. During my yearly work checkup, I chatted with a friendly RN, and she mentioned—well, basically admitted—that she uses gray-market Reta. When I asked whether she'd had it lab-tested, she stared at me as if I had some kind of ornament stuck to my forehead. Her answer was no, she just came across it, divided it with her mother, and carried on. After that, I asked the head nurse at my company her opinion, and she told me that if you pop positive on a drug screen due to something off the gray market, you've got zero protection since it isn't FDA-approved or prescribed. So here's what I'm wondering: do you figure any of this stuff could make you flunk a drug test? I realize nobody can really give you a straight answer until after you've already dropped a pile of cash based on what the site shows, but that's just my two cents for tonight, coming from a guy who's had a few drinks and is just trying to stick around longer.

I guess the type of test matters? I've been injecting fairly heavily — 7 separate 'tides — and I recently cleared a random DOT 5-Screen Panel without any problems. Won't lie, I was slightly on edge about it.

My drinking has definitely gone down. About 3 months of staying dry at a remote outpost, right around when I started the 'tides, made me realize that once I was back home, my usual evening glass of red wine — and even a cigar — simply didn't taste anywhere near as good.

I haven't quit entirely, just cut back. A little wine. Fewer beers. More rum, either neat or over ice, plus a dash of whiskey on the rocks.

Since it brings me less pleasure, I reach for it less often, and that's likely a positive.
