Can't get drunk as in you must abstain, or can't get drunk as in no matter how much you drink you don't feel any effects? I'll take the money either way but one is a curse and the other is a superpower.
i don’t see how drinking alcohol and not getting drunk would be a super power.. that effectively makes it like water and i drink that shit all the time and surely am not super human.
Imagine accidentally getting drunk and losing the entire amount because you tried to bend the rules. Id rather just not take the risk and keep the billion.
Right? This question is yet another edition of that reddit classic "would you be moderately inconvenienced for absurdly, stupidly life-changing amount of money?".
Yup, see these questions all the time. "Would you do this easy thing for a shit ton of generational wealth?" If you want to make it interesting, up the stakes.
I personally think that it's a combination of 1. A super high Powerball ticket was pulled so everyone's thinking about big amounts of money 2. The global economy isn't doing too hot right now so people are letting their minds wander to imagining life without money problems
Right? Like I enjoy different types of alcohol and I enjoy a little buzz from time to time but if you wouldn't accept these terms for a billion dollars, even if you have to think about it for more than idk 5 seconds, yeah man, you've got a problem.
Not an addict but I love certain things like beer or having a joint. Once or twice in a year I trip on LSD and it is extremely fun. I think it depends on how much you value money or pleasure via drugs.
My friend and I are driving right now and we both love marijuana and LSD etc.. used to be drug addicts(it was ugly lol) but are healthy now, enjoying life. And honestly, it might be sad but I asked him this question in the form of $1 million, and we both were like, "probably not". A billion I honestly don't know, I'd be stupid not to take it but that sounds like a very boring life experience. I could buy houses and cars, but that would get boring quick. Lol can't even go do Ayahuasca in Peru or make music with my friends high anymore? Can't smoke or anything when I'm old and in pain or anything because of this money I took when I was younger? I don't know man.. I don't know. Psychedelics and marijuana are large ways in which I learn to appreciate life in a very real way. Without getting high, my life would be way less interesting. Call that sad if you want to, but that's a hard decision
Ok, but have you thought about it? Which would you prefer? Generational financial security? Or a beer? Bet you’re feeling pretty thirsty right about now
Yes, they say things like "I'm 13 and I just discovered Reddit" or "I'm 15 and I can't imagine anything better in life than the brief state of intoxication that precedes vomiting and a hangover."
Thus. And also, how do you define high? Altered mental state? By that definition, are mental health medications forbidden? Because I'm not so interested in money if I have to be a depressed, anxious mess to get it.
As someone who struggles with alcohol abuse, absolutely. There are some experiences out there that give a natural “high” thats better than alcohol or drugs, that you can acquire with that amount of money.
These get dumber each time, which is saying a lot. And I'm really not trying to be an ass, but I feel sad for the person who made this who actually had the thought and contemplated giving up a billion dollars to not drink or get high anymore....I have to imagine they're like 22 and just discovered both and think its the pinnacle of life but damn...that's still kind of sad.
Haven’t drank or used a drug harder than caffeine (and my prescription medications) for about 7 years now, I intended to stretch that streak out in perpetuity without the $1 billion so … sure, why not.
Probably not. I could go with out drinking I already do so no biggie there. But while I so just like getting high, it also helps me manage my adhd. I take a few tokess throughout the day, doesn't make me completely stoned, but levels me out and helps with my focus and appetite. It works for me.
Would getting high entail prescribed pain pills or Anesthesia? I’ll still take it, but if I have to have a major surgery or get a painful disease, then that’s going to be hell without any drugs.
Getting drunk doesn't mean you aren't allowed to have a drink (like 1 beer), which is the most I have had at one sitting since my 24th birthday (I'll be 40 next July). Does this count as not getting drunk?
Everybody is saying that you have to be an addict, or you have problems if you don't take the billion, but it is simply not true. Me personally, I can manage my life and I don't need a billion dollars, I enjoy a nice glass of wine and cannabis sativa from time to time, I believe with the billion dollars you will find more issues and problems than just living life, we all turn over and die at some point. Get stoned, Find Love, make a little bit of money, and maybe die one day...who knows, just my two cents :))
People think being a billionaire is a golden ticket. Well. If having your friends or family get kidnapped and tortured for a part of your wealth is fair then go for it. Billionaire status comes with its own downfalls. Including never being able to trust anyone again and inflated egotistical persona. The money will always take more than it will give in the end.
There's this Reddit post from long ago about what to do if you won a billion dollars or something. Apart from financial advice it also says a few things about the social aspect of attaining this much money.
Yea of course. Way better things in life that I could actually do with a billion dollars. Food, travel, exploring, hanging with friends anywhere. Drugs only matter to me because I can’t afford those other things lol
Definitely interested. Tbf I rarely get drunk and have never been high, but I imagine most people who are into that sort of thing would still give it up for that much money
Definitely interested. Tbf I rarely get drunk and have never been high, but I imagine most people who are into that sort of thing would still give it up for that much money
Sure. It's been about ten years already.
i hope to get there one day!
Congrats!!! 4 for me on the 18th. IWNDWYT
Same but 5 years, once the ball is rolling it's easy
You're given $1billion only if you drink and get high everyday. Do you accept?
Outstanding!!
you can tell this guy is sober because he responds to $1b with a resounding “sure”
I’m going on year two. Nice job
Close to 25 for me, it wouldn’t be any change for me.
Since you’ve had a billion dollars??
Over a year here as well, and I love it
Can't get drunk as in you must abstain, or can't get drunk as in no matter how much you drink you don't feel any effects? I'll take the money either way but one is a curse and the other is a superpower.
Which one is the curse and which one is the superpower?
oh no, my pear i had for lunch was slightly fermented
i don’t see how drinking alcohol and not getting drunk would be a super power.. that effectively makes it like water and i drink that shit all the time and surely am not super human.
Fantastic!! I don't get drunk or high :)
I do and it's ridiculous that anyone wouldn't do this.
Right? I've never gotten drunk or high in my life and I don't plan to anyway.
Done.
Imagine accidentally getting drunk and losing the entire amount because you tried to bend the rules. Id rather just not take the risk and keep the billion.
I’d just hire a guy who hangs around me and slaps the drink out of my hand if I try to have more than 2.
You beat me to it. Take an updoot
What's the point of a single beer?
there's not a lot of things I wouldn't do for a billion dollars
Right? This question is yet another edition of that reddit classic "would you be moderately inconvenienced for absurdly, stupidly life-changing amount of money?".
[удалено]
Suck a billion dicks?
Yup, see these questions all the time. "Would you do this easy thing for a shit ton of generational wealth?" If you want to make it interesting, up the stakes.
[удалено]
“Would you give up soda with sugar for an entire DAY for 100lb of gold???”
Because people on their moral high horse love to come out in droves and say “I don’t do that anyway”
I personally think that it's a combination of 1. A super high Powerball ticket was pulled so everyone's thinking about big amounts of money 2. The global economy isn't doing too hot right now so people are letting their minds wander to imagining life without money problems
Yes. Because "never get drunk or high again" sounds like a rule. And rules don't apply to billionaires.
Lobby to change the definition of being drunk/high to a different thing. Problem solved.
Yeah if it's that one loses the ability to get drunk or high, totally
But the moment you spend even a single cent you will no longer be a billionaire, so rules will apply to you again.
beat me to it, this is the correct answer.
You're only a billionaire as long as you don't spend a penny of that money.
Spend one cent and you're not a billionaire anymore.
best anwser
sounds like an addict wrote this question lmao
I can't even comprehend saying no to this lol
I smoke a LOT of pot to deal with my anxiety, but I'll tell you what...a billion dollars will buy a lot of relaxation and therapy.
Right? Like I enjoy different types of alcohol and I enjoy a little buzz from time to time but if you wouldn't accept these terms for a billion dollars, even if you have to think about it for more than idk 5 seconds, yeah man, you've got a problem.

yep.

Call that sad if you want to, but that's a hard decision
For sure.
Hell I'd still do it if you knocked a few 0's off. Even $100,000 is immensefuly helpful if not life changing to someone's circumstances.
Ok, but have you thought about it? Which would you prefer? Generational financial security? Or a beer? Bet you’re feeling pretty thirsty right about now
Questions like this say a lot about some folk.
Yes, they say things like "I'm 13 and I just discovered Reddit" or "I'm 15 and I can't imagine anything better in life than the brief state of intoxication that precedes vomiting and a hangover."
About addicts id assume. For anyone who isn't addicted it should be an easy choice.
They're very young. The amount of money is always so ludicrously disproportionately wrong it can only make sense to people who aren't used to money.
[удалено]
Sure hand me my money. I'm not drinking or doing drugs my whole life so that's just easy money.
You must be fun at parties
[удалено]
Asking the important questions...
Thus. And also, how do you define high? Altered mental state? By that definition, are mental health medications forbidden? Because I'm not so interested in money if I have to be a depressed, anxious mess to get it.
This is the only reason to say no to this
Since I do neither right now, give me the money.
You have severe problems if you say no to this
I’m aware that I have problems lol
Depends on how much you value money in your life.
I like getting high lol
Couldn't agree more lol
..or you live in a part of the world where your life doesn't completely depend on money :)
Yep. Like, I enjoy both drinking and drugs in moderation, but this isn't even close to a question for me. I can live without them.
What if, and I know this sounds crazy, but what if, hypothetically, you don't want the money?
As someone who struggles with alcohol abuse, absolutely. There are some experiences out there that give a natural “high” thats better than alcohol or drugs, that you can acquire with that amount of money.
Seriously?
Looks like a bot farming for karma now that I look at it.
I dont get drunk and high anyway so easy money gg
If I had a billion? To quote Minor Threat "I've got better things to do than sit around and fuck my head"
I'll take the money and invent a new way to get all f*cked up.
How about we split the difference. You give me 500m and i get high/drunk half as much as i do now?
[удалено]
Anyone saying no might need to get help.
Sure, don't get high as is, and drink so little i doubt if i would miss it.
Hell yeah. Only get high because i cant travel as much as i want. Gotta trip somehow 😜
The money.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DP7J9CIXUAAykE9.jpg
Yeah because I would solve homelessness pretty easily
I like this thought.
Can I still consume drugs and alcohol and just remain sober ? That would be a fun trick.
100%. I don’t do drugs anyway.
Yes, because I can live a perfectly happy life without getting drunk or high.
No, because I can live a perfectly happy life without a billion dollars.
[удалено]
I'm 31 and have never drank alcohol or smoked. I've been raw dogging my way through life sober.
I imagine the people that ask these types of questions are complete burnouts. As if drugs and alcohol competes with 1B.
Will do it for 1 mill forget the billion
These get dumber each time, which is saying a lot. And I'm really not trying to be an ass, but I feel sad for the person who made this who actually had the thought and contemplated giving up a billion dollars to not drink or get high anymore....I have to imagine they're like 22 and just discovered both and think its the pinnacle of life but damn...that's still kind of sad.
Haven’t drank or used a drug harder than caffeine (and my prescription medications) for about 7 years now, I intended to stretch that streak out in perpetuity without the $1 billion so … sure, why not.
Never tried any of those. Wheres my milion? Would be happy with 10k
I guess it's $1 billion on hookers instead of $500 million then
Probably not. I could go with out drinking I already do so no biggie there. But while I so just like getting high, it also helps me manage my adhd. I take a few tokess throughout the day, doesn't make me completely stoned, but levels me out and helps with my focus and appetite. It works for me.

I probably sound very boring to some people, but I've never been drunk or high so yeah that'd be an easy billion dollars for me lol.
Yeah, I can find better things to do.
Never got drunk or high, so.. Yeah why not lmao
I don't do any of those things for free, so yeah sure I'm down.
Bitch, i'd be sipping mocktails all day.
Hell yes!
Who the hell would say no…?
Yeah I'm doing it right now for free..
I've never been drunk or high in my life and never have any plans to be, so I'd take this deal without a second thought.
Questions like this don't take time to thing just how much money 1 billion is.
A billion is too much for this question. Make it 2 million and you'll see a lot more interesting answers.
never been drunk or high. where is my money lol
I do that for free already! The extra billion in my bank account might come in handy 😃
YeS. I've never tasted any of it and I'm not interested at all.
I never get drunk or high anyways so there would be no downside compared to how I already live.
So I can still drink thought right? You said get drunk. So I could have like a few beers or a glass of bourbon. Just not enough to get drunk.
Absolutely I won’t find it that hard to not get drunk
And not make an ass out of myself at future weddings? No thank you sir or madam, keep the billion.
Yes. I’ve never done drugs and hate drinking beyond tipsy any way. This is hardly a consideration.
of course I am interested. I have a pretty high alcohol tolerance and it would be a waste of money to get addicted.
I smoke my blunt on the daily but for that I'd give it up 😭
Yep, never needed to use anything yet and don't plan on ever needing to.
What you said times two.
Yes! Anyone who isn’t is crazy.
Getting drunk doesn't mean you aren't allowed to have a drink (like 1 beer), which is the most I have had at one sitting since my 24th birthday (I'll be 40 next July). Does this count as not getting drunk?
Have never got drunk or high so this is easy money
Everybody is saying that you have to be an addict, or you have problems if you don't take the billion, but it is simply not true.

There's this Reddit post from long ago about what to do if you won a billion dollars or something. Apart from financial advice it also says a few things about the social aspect of attaining this much money.
Nope. I love beer. That’s all.
Tbh this is extremely stupid question to ask
There are no stupid questions. Just stupid people
Yes, spend the 1 billion and then get drunk and high after 😎
Yea of course. Way better things in life that I could actually do with a billion dollars. Food, travel, exploring, hanging with friends anywhere. Drugs only matter to me because I can’t afford those other things lol
Oh yeah. That one beer I have every other week won't be missed. But me motorboating super models would be tight.
Hahaha Joke is on you I never drank alcohol or used drugs before
[удалено]
No. I love beer.
You're really going to turn down a billion dollars to drink beer?
So just drink one or two per day. Just don’t get drunk.
Obviously, dumb question
I have no interest in getting drunk or high anyway.
Absolutely, I don't do those things anyway. You could take alcohol/ drugs away completely and I'd do it for like 20k. Lol
Of course. I don’t drink, I don’t get high.
Yes. You say can never get drunk but u didn't say that I can't drink any. You won't know I'm high.
Interested. There would no longer be a reason to get drunk or high again.
Drink all I want without getting drunk? Im in!
The loop hole is using your billion to make a billion then getting drunk or high means you lose half of it instead of all
I dont drink or get high anyway
I have never been drunk or high, I’m taking the billion
Anyone saying no is a turbo imbecile lmao.
Yep. I rarely drink anyway, and don’t get high.
Yes. Even if abstaining from alcohol altogether instead of not getting drunk - totally worth it.
I’ll take it. I don’t smoke and I rarely drink so that sounds like an easy billion😁
Well, shrooms are legal now.. so yes
Heck yeah I'm interested - BUT I've been sober for 194 days so I might be cheating.
Easy.
EASY! I drink less that once a month and get high about twice a year. 1 billion is a number where I'd starting getting real desperate to do anything
Once I am off of my high I will answer the question.
Yeah, because I never heard of drunk or high
Sure, i would miss the drink but i don't need to drink and i never got high so no loss there
Yes that's fine, i don't like alcohol and I don't know how people can drink that shit!
Don't drink or do drugs so I'll have the billion thanks
Sure It’s against my religion anyways
Bro is this even a question
How are we defining drunk in this context? Buzzed after a bourbon, or DUI level drunk?
This must be the dumbest question of all time
Sure, I don’t drink or get high anyway.
Sure, rules do not apply to billionaires anyway + I don't drink and only rarely get high.
I´ve never been drunk or high in my life. I'd take the B.
With that much money I can think of doing so many things and party/high ain't one of them.
Yes. I’ve not been into either in my 34 years.
Why not. Been a few years since I've done either.
...you act that those things are impossible to avoid.
As long as I can get laid. We're good.
For sure man. As long as i have my ciggies
Definitely interested. Tbf I rarely get drunk and have never been high, but I imagine most people who are into that sort of thing would still give it up for that much money
Definitely interested. Tbf I rarely get drunk and have never been high, but I imagine most people who are into that sort of thing would still give it up for that much money
It's funny how little dopers and drunks think the whole world is just like them.
I only drink during special occasions, like weddings and birthdays, and I haven’t smoked in years, so I’d be down for sure lmao
Yes because I don't drink or get high now (unless we're counting caffeine?). Easy money.
Never got high or drunk in my whole life. Had one too many glasses of wine twice at New Year's Eve and hated it.
