And who knows, maybe I'm wrong. But that's extremely unlikely because I'm always right.

The effects of alcohol are nothing.
If you really wanna go out of your mind (and having tried it once before, I'd honestly advise that you don't) you should look into hard drugs. My best and worst experience was trying DXM for the first time, which was simply ingesting a whole pack of nasal decongestant pills at once.
It feels a lot like being drunk, your vision is super blurred, you're really dizzy, but you can also walk a perfectly straight line. I was able to play Doom with my friend just as well as I would have sober, and of course being absolutely amazed at my ability to play despite the conditiion I was in. At many points I felt like I was "in the game," where I was actually seeing through the eyes of the protagonist, and not just looking at a monitor. To some degree you feel that way when playing sober, but not anything like you would while on drugs. After a few hours your body starts to feel tingly, and when you walk you feel like a robot, like you have to manually operate each muscle in your body, and movement feels extremely jagged and clunky (as opposed to gliding seamlessly like you're used to)
At any given moment you can just look at something imagine images that literally can not even be described in words, or communicated in any way. I know that sounds gay and unrealistic but that's honestly the best way I can describe it. Time seems to pass incredibly slowly despite the enjoyable and euphoric experience. 15 minutes will go by and it will have felt like an entire weekend.
You'll see yourself in the mirror and wonder who it is. You're so disassociated with yourself that you wonder why your eyes are so big, your lips are so red, and your hair is all fucked up. As the effects wear off you begin to remind yourself that that has always been what you looked like and nothing has changed. As the day moves on you see everything as if you've never seen it before, have a completely new appreciation for things. You seem to have an almost omniscient understanding of everything, creating theories for your existence, and giving reason to your surroundings. You slowly collect memories from your memory bank, reliving experiences from the past that you didnt even know you remembered, such as long lost childhood memories, the toys you played with, your first best friend, etc.
The effects last for three days. You can fall asleep on the first day, and wake up 6 hours later exactly as fucked up as you were when you started. Around the third day you start experiencing the after effects (which are the worst). A DXM drug trip will leave you feeling very paranoid and often depressed. I felt pressed with the decision that I would have to choose to continue my life sober, or abandon my friends, family, job, girlfriend, and become a total dopefiend for the rest of my life (the effects were so powerful that it was actually a very difficult decision to make, and relied on a lot of will power and ambition to make the right choice). The third day was the only day I've called out sick at my job, lied to my manager about having food poisoning. I couldn't go to work, because I knew as soon as I went there they were gonna be like "why are your pupils so dilated? WHATS WRONG WITH YOU ARE YOU ON DRUGS??" and the only response i would have was "YES IM FUCKING TRIPPING ON DXM!" and I would get fired and my parents would kick me out of the house and my girlfriend would leave me like her last boyfriend that also became a drug addict. In reality I was fine and realistically I didn't look like a total mess and it was very unlikely that my coworkers would jump to such a conclusion, I was just super paranoid.
I know it sounds pretty crazy (and it is.) I don't think I'll ever do drugs again after that. But the experience is rather unbelievable, albeit incredible. If being sober was a 1 and being piss fucking drunk was a 10, being on DXM was like 35. It's that fucked up. I can only imagine what it's like to be on heroin, crystal meth, PCP, LSD, or crack.
