Although I see many areas that you’re coming from, Mysterion, I also disagree with a few.
My bio-chem prof’s view on booze was that ethanal lets the real you come out. (Your liver turns ethanol to ethanal and it’s the ethanal’s effect on the brain that gives booze its novel properties).
Most people are heavily, heavily, heavily socialized, that is conditioned by family, friends, their society/culture, their religion if they have one, the books they read, the TV they watch plus just themselves directing themselves.
Most people deep down inside are a little to quite different than the image (mask) they project or are forced to wear. Strip that away and you see what they really are. Alcohol can be very destructive as some peeps deep down inside are self serving assholes or are angry at themselves or others but normally keep it in check, women are every bit as much horn dogs as men but normally have years of all sorts of repression keeping them pent up for better or worse. Perhaps this is best for society in general and also for many a person, however, many drink just as a temporary respite from having to wear a mask 24/7 and just want to let it all out and say fuck it to all the constraints thrown at them for a few hours. It’s not unless a peep is really fucked up on booze that you’d actually be taking advantage of them. You’ll know if you follow your gut where the line is.
The thing with booze is unless the person is getting drunk for the first few times in their lives they pretty much know what they’re getting in for, why they’re doing it, potentially what will happen and what they want out of it. They might use it as a scapegoat, oh the beer made me do it, but they really wanted to do it in the first place either consciously or unconsciously.
In your friend’s case she has a lot of things going on under the surface. What her hormones, genetic instincts, society, family, her BF’s and her own view of self and how she should be. A whole mess of stuff is going on in her head and she might be trying to define how she is or just follow her feelings. Slap in your mones and say some P83 and A1 and BAM! Both men and women follow their feelings far more often than the conscious mind’s reasoning, women even more so. Also keep in mind your feelings are your subconscious’ summation of a given situation, you might take all day to articulate what you subconsciously already know to be true.
If you’re against booze you should also be against P83. I find P83 loosens me up far faster than booze does. A1 really puts women at ease, much like a beer or glass of wine puts many a peep at ease. You’re talking about crushing resistance/barriers in much way booze does the same thing and hence why many people drink or try to get others to drink or why many peeps buy P83. Some ladies on this site buy P83 for the self effects. Being uptight all the time is no fun.
We live in an unfair world and you’ve chosen to use P83 to give you a stealthy advantage in a situation. Others are more blatant and flash about status symbols, money or their body etc. Others read all sorts of material to give them an edge in getting what they want. You’ll have to decide what is fair and acceptable to you, but to me and the way you describe P83 and A1 there is basically no difference than spiking the punch with some vodka. However society has come to a decision more or less that it’s not okay to spike the punch where as with P83 it’s so under the mainstream radar that most would have no idea even in this forum to raise the question of the morality on phero use. I’m on the line that it’s like a hot woman showing me her body, I have little resistance to it, I can’t really stop her, and with the way her body makes me feel, do I really want to.
However, I totally agree with you that you should do your testing sober and on sober targets for a long, long time till you have that mone/mix down.
Just give it some thought. Booze is much like P83 in terms of dropping inhibitions. The weird shit I saw at one party with peeps remarking that they had never seen stuff like that happen in their life before, with me keeping my mouth shut as I knew the P83 was every bit as much responsible as the alcohol was. Why, because I had drank with those same peeps 10 to 15 times before and never seen them act like that and this was the first time I wore P83 at 60 mcg or 90 mcg around them. The night went sour for me post and it became one of the reasons why I treat P83 with respect.
