What is the philosopher's drug of choice and why is it alcohol?

I feel like alcohol doesn't really influence your thought process. I mean when I am drunk, I am always fully aware of this at the time.

It definitely does, just much more subtly. Not from an outside perspective of course, but you just feel more authentic, in fact you often feel like you're even clearer headed since your inhibitions are weakened. This causes you to act in ways you never would while sober but you think it's just your personality rather than the drug.

Anyway yeah philosophers traditionally nurse alcohol or morphine. For whatever reason psychedelics and dude weed aren't that popular.

Nihilists, cigarettes and booze
Existentialists, same but they look happy doing it.
Pursuing Western spiritualists, mushrooms, perhaps LSD.
psychonauts, depends on who.

For a true philosopher, it depends on them. (Not saying psychonauts are, they're just not a well defined group) Drugs are powerful, beautiful things that can teach a philosopher a lot, if used right. Or they can lead to an early death.
or both.

Ketamine

Knowledge.
If you don't get high off of knowledge then you aren't a philosopher.

Psychedelics and dudeweed are more likely to leave you staring at flowers or the ceiling than creating a philosophy. Philosophers getting drunk and writing comes from the same impulse as drunk-dialing - an upwelling of emotion and a need to communicate it.

Probably LSD.
As a foreword, I've had extensive experience with cocaine, weed, all types of pills, DMT, alcohol, LSD and shrooms. Dont do any of them anymore but drink occasionally


Out of all those things, I've only really ever had thoughts or ideas that actually were significant the morning after, on LSD. I used to write when I was drunk but then would look at it the next morning and realize its just generic bullshit that any old moron could point it, or just stuff that I generally didn't consider significant or thought provoking.

Every time I've done LSD theres always usually an underlying theme or message to the trip, and when I've analyzed it afterwards I can actually glean a message from it. In my experience, LSD forces you to look at and consider things down to their smallest detail, regardless of how important it may seem in the grand scheme. Like picking up a glass of water will cause you to really look into how it feels, the condensation on the glass, the emotion provoked when picking up this drink.
