My first venture here!
Now before anyone flames me, this is not a "ooo I'm needing to impress some friends by going that bit further than alcohol now" . Not at all. It's just a question that arose from a conversation with a friend, whereby we couldn't think of any legal alternatives to alcohol. The question first came about because I've been trying to stop drinking, but at the same time I ideally would want something that could act as a substitute, as a "social lubricant" as such lol.
So are there any?

Whats the point in giving up drinking if you still want the effect of alcohol? You dont need to get drunk just as a social lubricant as you put it.
I wouldnt advise it tho, they can really mess up your body clock and the comedown is bad too.
Took me weeks to get over taking pro plus and I took the recomended dose.

All "good" drugs are illegal.
Alcohol is as close as you'll get to a decent legal drug...and even at that, it's pretty shite.
screws up ur liver too
There is always Red Bull... it gives you wings .
Each tablet is only 50mg, thats really not all that much, its relatively easy to consume 10 times that much in a day if you are a regular caffine user.
G.
They will however have some compounds sort of related to amphetamine, lower down the chain as it where, more side effects and less high.
They may also not be totally legal either, if you are importing them and they contain ephadrine you may well need a licence to do that.
I dont think any tablets sold in the UK are allowed to have ephadrine in. They may have Mah Gong (sp?) which is the root from which ephadrine is extracted.
Basically taking lots of ephadrine or related compounds can cause heart palpatations, irregular heart beat and spike your blood pressure making heart attacks and strokes more likely.
Appart from that though they are fine.
Its quite a childish attitude I think too, 'oooh look at me I can drink more than you' it becomes a my dad is harder than your dad contest.
harder, faster and stronger for longer...we like to be fucked by drugs...
The invention of the laddette has really changed the scene too.
Ecstacy.
Eat this red herby thing that you put in Paella- I forget the name - it's meant to have mild hallucigonic (sp) effects. Or nutmeg.
Or smoke shisha, that makes you v. light headed.
Go to an oxygen bar, supposed to be good, expensive though, about £5 a shot.
petrol,glue and solvents of any kind really also give a good buzz but are extremely dangerous, not long lasting and leave you with a sore head aswell
i'm afraid you're stuck with alcohol unless you want to go into the world of class A's and B's
NO DON'T DO THAT! nutmeg is hallucenogenic only because it is also a POISON. Nutmeg, in very large doses will cause you problems as it is a hepatotoxin, which means it causes servere liver damage!
the feeling you get from large amounts of nutmeg is the feeling of your body being poisoned.
Do you mean Saffron?
Given the price of it would be a more expencive high than pure heroin.
(oh are you going to respond to my PM LadyJade?)
As far as I know there are still loads of cough/cold medicines that contain ephedrine if that's the same compound.
They all have psuodoephadrine (sp?) rather than ephadrine, thats even lower down the scale, it has NO recreational use at all, other than to clear your nose.
On a different, yet drug related note, is it true that menthol rub stuff like Vick's contains a form of speed?
