Never had any interest in illegal drugs, know the effects of the prescribed ones I take (and dammit, I even take aspirin and still don't mark worth a damn when Master spanks me hard!), and I am careful with My blood sugar levels so I'm in a good frame of mind. Never developed much of a taste for alcohol and have the dubious reputation of having once got very tipsy on a piece of cake!! (OK so it was the last piece of tira misu and it had obviously sopped up all the liqueur!). I really don't need any such substances to induce Me to relax and have a good time, whether on the Domme or sub side of things. So it's a no way street for Me ... Master is likewise ... and any sub I play with needs to be definitely non-impaired. That means no illegal drugs, I know what prescribed drugs they take, and alcohol consumption is low enough that they are still able to function fully without any deficit. I prefer them sober though so that any altered state is entirely of My doing and within My control! However, I concede that hyper-nervy ones may do better with a glass of alcohol to bring them down to most people's normal state. Much more than 2 glasses and I would be wary, not so much as an adherent to a fixed amount as being important (I am cognisant of the effects of body mass and other factors alluded to previously), but more because I prefer not to develop relationships with people whose alcohol tolerance is so different from Mine. When We hosted play parties We allowed people to bring alcohol, though certainly didn't sell it (which I think gives a conflicting message). The protocols urged people to be responsible in terms of their drinking and play. People who tended to drink more were generally there only for the socialising and didn't play, or if they did, they played early and then drank. There was also plenty of food available. Fairly early on in the group's establishment there was occasion to ban someone for breaches of drugs/alcohol resulting in irresponsible and intolerable behaviour and that seemed to serve as a pretty effective warning. I wouldn't have been happy with someone leaving Our party if I didn't think they were safe to drive (and that includes spacy subbies as well as alcohol intake), and We had crash overnight facilities available. It wasn't a problem and I felt that was a responsible way to handle the situation. Maam Jay aka violet[A]
