We’re a wild bunch!!!!!!1

Jude's avatar

Zero

wait, we did have some drunken Fluthering a time or two.

LuckyGuy's avatar

That would be “zero”.

Brian1946's avatar

At least 50%.

SpatzieLover's avatar

Zilch…Zip…Nada.

There are times that I’ve come in severely under caffinated though…Bad!

TexasDude's avatar

You guys know that caffeine, alcohol, and even chocolate are all considered psychoactive substances, right?

25% or so.

everephebe's avatar

Including tea, coffee, chocolate and whiskey…. About ¾ of the time or so.

gailcalled's avatar

Milo here; Does catnip count?

SpatzieLover's avatar

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard By those standards, my turkey sandwiches also count ;)

talljasperman's avatar

Yes I’m almost always on Coke…. Coke-A-Cola caffeine to be exact ?

Joker94's avatar

Very, very, very little. So insignificant an amount that I cannot find a percentage for it.

Cruiser's avatar

80%...I spend most of my time here while at work totally whacked on caffeine. So steer clear of any of my questions or answers posted before 4 PM CST!

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

zero. I just don’t get people who fluther drunk or high…it makes me seriously roll my eyes.

I think I’ve been drunk on here once. When I’m drunk, it’s often not where I have access to a computer and when I do get home to my computer, all I want to do is go to bed, so I never really come on here drunk. :\

King_Pariah's avatar

uh maybe less than 5% of the time with alcohol

XOIIO's avatar

100%, I’m high on lurve.

I know its an addiction but this stuff is fucking amazing rolled into a joint.

woodcutter's avatar

0% Would anyone really tell the absolute truth about this? Especially if it was up past say 50% of the time?

Imadethisupwithnoforethought's avatar

@woodcutter I have gotten a pm with an admission. I am always a little surprised by the official responses versus what trickles in via PM

woodcutter's avatar

@Imadethisupwithnoforethought Exactly. If someone smokes weed for example, the odds they wait to sober out completely before logging on are pretty slim. That’s not including folks who burn one just before. So there are times when some of the answers I see make me wonder whats going on with them. No I’m not going to give examples.

SavoirFaire's avatar

@woodcutter It’s easy for me to tell the absolute truth about this because I don’t use any mind-altering substances.

woodcutter's avatar

@SavoirFaire Neither do I ,but for those who do I suspect this q is for. We’re a couple of squares.

I haven’t been high since I’ve had a computer and way before, so if I tried to do it I’m sure I would get busted straight away. I couldn’t imagine how I could even do it at all ,and would probably shut it down so as not to embarrass myself more than I normally do.;/

jonsblond's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir Yes, because taking a hit off a joint late in the evening and logging in to Fluther before retiring to the bedroom is endangering lives.~

Hard to say. I have a few drinks a couple times a weeks and I may Fluther when I do this. I also use sleeping pills occasionaly to help me sleep. I usually Fluther most in the evening, so I would say 20% of the time when I Fluther.

Imadethisupwithnoforethought's avatar

Let me go on record if it helps: 30%

This is just one of those things I am curious about.

woodcutter's avatar

@Imadethisupwithnoforethought So it could be as low as 20% or as much as 40% then. It’s all good I’m not the type to judge.

woodcutter's avatar

I’m curious about if the 420’ers on line can detect others some how? Barring just telling them of course but is there some kind of cyber vibe they pick up from them or is it impossible. I don’t mean to hijack this but it’s germane.

SavoirFaire's avatar

@woodcutter You are correct, of course. But it’s okay. I’ve been a square all my life.

Imadethisupwithnoforethought's avatar

@woodcutter I lurve the urban dictionary.

zensky's avatar

I take a couple of Jerubas and a few Gailcalleds regularly, so I’d say I’m at around 30%.

FutureMemory's avatar

@woodcutter That would be a no.

jrpowell's avatar

If I am spending time here the odds are pretty good that I have been hitting the bottle for a few hours. If I am sober I have better shit to do.

XOIIO's avatar

@johnpowell Yeah, I can’t bear to be on ehre sober, I can’t stand it its so lame.

*hic *

jrpowell's avatar

@XOIIO :: I’m not trying to talk shit. But if I am sober I am trying to make money for a new liver. Not fucking around and spouting my bullshit here.

XOIIO's avatar

@johnpowell True, if I had a job I would be doing that instead.

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

50% of the time if we count caffeine.

rebbel's avatar

10% (Ritalin)
50% (Nicotine)

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

Oh, if we count nicotine, then 100% of the time.

JilltheTooth's avatar

Caffeine, probably 50%; alcohol, I’ve flipsed maybe 2 or 3 times in over a year, I’m not willing to do the math to figure it out, but it was less than an hour on the evenings I did.

augustlan's avatar

Nicotine, 100%
Pain killers (which don’t affect my mind at all, but do for some others), 100%
Alcohol, 5 to 10% I love a little drunken fluthering, myself.

KateTheGreat's avatar

60% of the time. Oh well.

thorninmud's avatar

If you’re talking to me on Fluther, then I must be on a mind-altering substance. If you’re writing to me, then no, I’m not

erichw1504's avatar

I probably have a can of Mountain Dew in front of me 75% of the time I’m Fluthering.

picante's avatar

Nada percent while under the infulence of mind/mood-altering substances. One hundred percent while under the influence of mind/mood-altering people and events ;-)

gailcalled's avatar

I am disappointed to not to have heard from the people who are on my list of “How and why could they have written that?”

Using mind-altering drugs or alcohol would explain why their minds seem to be altered.

erichw1504's avatar

iam ssoOO WASTEd ritee now. ID Say a lmost 116%percent of time i am durING FLUTHERING..!1

Facade's avatar

20–30%

Mariah's avatar

100% if we are counting prescription antidepressants but 0% otherwise.

ddude1116's avatar

Less than ten-percent for sure, maybe like .0040%.

Berserker's avatar

80, 85? Most of my Fluthering is done a few hours before I go to bed, and that’s when I drink. (I usually start before I get on here) The 20/15 is when I check in now and then in the day, or when I get back home, like now.

AmWiser's avatar

I rarely sit down to Fluther without a cup of coffee (like now), or a glass of wine (later) after my day is done. So I would guess about 80% of the time.
