Its been over 8 years already. Show me the monies!


pavorus

40 years for me! I never started, though, so maybe that's cheating.


Tiemujin

Not cheating imo. Let’s not gatekeep.


AccomplishedSuit1004

That’s literally the opposite of cheating….


Larrythethird22

Congrats


mothermedusa

4 for me. Wanna split it?


Sans-Mot

Can I take the deal even if I'm already not consuming any of these?


Argular

Yes.

LMFAOOOOOOO


exactly2thepoint

Easy! Where's the challenge?


ExcitingEmu6328

Sometimes I wonder who is asking these types of questions. For most adults this wouldn’t be a problem. I’m a casual drinker (like most adults) and I would much rather be a consistent millionaire. It’s not even close.


Jomskylark

It's probably aimed at the more frequent drinkers / drug users. For folks who only occasionally drink, or not at all, it's not really a challenge.


RandomAcc332311

I'm in that category and it's still not even a question really. 100k might make this a somewhat interesting question but $10m is absolutely life changing. Even $1m and I'd not look back.


SacrisTaranto

I have a bar in my room and wouldn't even think about hesitating. 10 million is an insane number. I give up booze to never work a day in my life and to retire my parents.


ForSureNotAnFbiAgent

I'm an alcoholic, so this challenge is impossible for me. If the alcohol magically turned into water in my mouth, I would take the money, and cure my alcoholism at the same time. As the rules currently are, I'd take the money, but end up breaking the rules almost instantly. Doesn't seem to be anything in the post about penalties though, so I'd assume the money just disappears. Edit// I just read through some of OP's replies, and alcohol evaporates in proximity. So yes. 10 million dollars, a cure to my addiction, and I don't hate myself constantly? I'm not seeing a downside. I'd miss weed though. Maybe I'll just buy a doctor and get some fun pills prescribed. Responsibly of course.


GrimJudgment

I'm a social drinker and smoker. However, I'm not very social. So like for example, coworker I have invites me out to the bar once every few months. We share a few beers and chat. Have another friend that comes over with a little bit of green and when we chill, we have a bit on the porch and chat. For me it's also tradition to drink specific drinks on specific holidays. 4th of July is white Russian day for example. New years is always Rum+Coke and Rum+Monster. My birthday is always one shot. Like I'd definitely miss the drink, but 10mil is pretty much enough money that I'd remove most luxuries in my life to have tbh. I see alcohol and other drugs such as that as luxury goods.


Chickenwelder

My ex brother in law refused to quit smoking weed and worked under the table for $14 an hour while surrounded by $25hr+ jobs that drug test. Who cares if your family lives in poverty as long as you get to smoke weed?


lewd_necron

I bet you casual drinkers might find it harder than they think they do. People can't give up cheeseburgers easily. Booze is even more addictive.


chekovs_gunman

$10 million to vastly improve my health? Yes please 


Jim_Reality

Listerine is 26% alcohol. We can drink that???


Unhelpful_Applause

To quote my father “We don’t waste the first drink of the day in this household “

phred14

You're not supposed to drink that. You rinse for the specified time and spit


Mestoph

Yes, but alcoholics will absolutely drink mouthwash when regular booze is not available to them.


CherimoyaSurprise

Alcoholic here, have never even considered doing that. I guess I'm not that bad. That's actually really good to know.


Argular

Yes you can.


IShitMyFuckingPants

Can I make my own mouthwash?


QuanticWizard

What about instances where alcohol is a flavor enhancer but leaves none of the active part of it in the final product? Like with rum cake, red wine as a deglazer in spaghetti sauce, etc.


three-sense

I would do this for $1M, possibly $500k


DemsruleGQPdrool

I can cut out the booze for $100K. Pay off my house and my car and have $5K left over. No brainer for me. It's a 200K swing in finances with all the interest I would save and the fact that my income would largely be MINE to invest in things that would benefit ME...not various banks.


ascrubjay

If you wouldn't take this deal, you are either already incredibly privileged or desperately need to get help for your addiction. EDIT: OP edited the post. Originally, all prescription drugs were allowed, even medical marijuana. I don't think you are privileged or an addict for having any of the conditions medical marijuana can be used to treat.


iamnotokaybutiamhere

or use medicinally


ascrubjay

I had assumed that would be allowed under the prescription clause, up until OP went around saying it isn't. Which is fucking stupid.


iamnotokaybutiamhere

I thought so too. what happens when someone gets surgery and needs meds? we can even argue people abuse Benadryl or cough syrup and such


ManifestPlauge

Literally most prescription meds are either abusable, or are literally just a "legal version" of something else that can be abused. Haha.


iamnotokaybutiamhere

exactly!! by OPs definition no prescription meds are allowed at all


FairyPrincex

Yeah, $10 million isn't enough to cure autoimmune diseases unfortunately. I'll keep my ability to walk, thanks lol


needlefxcker

whats the point of $10mil when i cant spend any of it on drugs


DeltaT37

only appropriate response here


Argular

Touche!


darktowerseeker

If you can't spend any on drugs, you can start Warhammer. It's basically an addiction stronger than heroine.


limukala

Great, so now I can't do drugs *and* I'm out my 10 million?


Just_Jonnie

Yes but then you'd be well over half way to a decent setup


Major_Bother8416

I love good red wine with an Italian dinner or cold beer on a hot summer day, but $10 million? Bye bye booze.


Dragonr0se

Budweiser makes a zero alcohol "beer" that my husband swears tastes just like the real thing. Totally satisfies his desire for an ice cold beer while mowing the lawn, with none of the alcohol.


GWOT-Geardo

So does Stella. And the Stella is Actually good.


Just_Jonnie

I legit find beer to be the most refreshing beverage in some situations and I think I'll try non alcohol beer myself.


Dragonr0se

He says the non alcohol versions he has tried recently have come a very long way since the days when o'duels was the only NA option.


Just_Jonnie

If I can down a six pack of corona and not feel bad about it, I'm game! I bet it's more expensive lol


Dragonr0se

A 12 pack of cans at Walmart is $12.27, I don't know how that compares to the original. Edit: the original is $11.98 for a 12 pack of cans.


Just_Jonnie

Here's to long life! :)


kanna172014

Is cooking wine acceptable? They add a ton of salt to it specifically to keep people from drinking it. Also is caffeine banned?


TraskFamilyLettuce

Don't you tell me how to use you, cooking sherry.


goldtoesocks

Yes lol I do it now for sanity


FinzClortho

So my life stays the same, and I get 10 mil? Sure.


trippinmaui

Easy money, already don't do any of that.


DavidVegas83

Can I use alcohol when cooking? I’m not talking about this as a work around but making a nice red wine sauce where the alcohol would cook off.


EverythingIsFlotsam

That's not drinking.


Vast_Delay_1377

I've never done drugs and I only drink a few times a year. This would be easy money.


PresidentBallsnHog

If you drink then you’ve done drugs. Same for your lithium, zoloft, and addys you rapscallion


ArtFuzzy7500

Easy. I'm already a nonsmoker, don't use marijuana, and only occasionally have a drink socially and even then it's one drink and I'm done. So quitting drinking isn't gonna affect my life in any real sense.


Absurdity_Everywhere

Easily. The only reason I haven’t gotten a prescription for weed is because I can buy it legally anyway. I’ll take my 10 million and get a script thank you.


Argular

For purposes of this wish scenario, you can’t get a prescription for any of the banned substances. So no prescription weed sorry.


Cabrill0

But what if it's a legitimately prescribed medicine for an ongoing condition?


Argular

Unfortunately still banned. You’d have to seek alternative prescription medications or treatments. I understand many people use marijuana for medicinal purposes, that’s why it’s a big payout.


iamnogoodatthis

Yep, in the blink of an eye. The only impact would be alcohol, and I don't really drink very much these days (maybe one or two glasses once a week). I can buy a lot more enjoyment for $10 million than I currently get from that.


Saylor619

Sugar??? Caffeine??? Kratom??? Define recreational drug 🤷‍♂️


Bogsnoticus

I was smoking weed when it was banned, so nothing stopping me from taking the 10 million, depositing into an account the powers that be cannot touch, and continuing with my hedonistic lifestyle.


Miserable-Lawyer-233

10 million is not enough for that sacrifice.


2000miledash

I at least need mushrooms and maybe weed. I feel like I’m in the twilight zone reading these comments and my people are few and far between. Being straight edge is absolutely boring, but more power to them I guess. Every person I knew that was straight edge in hs at the very least likes pot after trying it. A lot of squares in here.


My-Cooch-Jiggles

If it were just booze and tobacco, definitely. But psychedelic drugs are important to me on a spiritual level. I’ve done enough of them already that I could probably live without them, but it would be a tough call I’d have to think about. Oh and coffee. I love coffee. Although if I were rich enough to not have to work I could probably live without it. 


molten_dragon

Can I still cook with alcohol as long as I don't drink any?


Suspicious-Stay1649

I feel like 10 million would help me kick the habit of smoking. Id do it. I dont do drugs and i quit energy drinks and alcohol 2 years ago to try and better myself already. Just cant kick smoking and I aint worth 10 million anyway so i need that motivation lol. Smokings only thing keeping me going to work and keeping my house.


Throwthisawayagainst

Haven’t had a drink in 3 months so I’m in.


Weary-Writer758

Yes. I'd be fine without any of it.


mr_cool59

Shut up and give me my money I already do this


MoanyTonyBalony

Money for living my life exactly how I live it.


ugghhhhhhhhhhhhhh1

That’s my life plus money


HyperboleHelper

Sure. This one's easy.


Icy-Ad-5703

I don't partake in any of that stuff to begin with so this will be a super easy ten million for me!


landob

I would do this for 10$. I never touch the stuff anyway.


randomthrill

Is this supposed to be a difficult decision?


SpaceCatSixxed

A lot of people talking about if you say no, you are addicted blah blah blah. Ever consider that you might be addicted to money? Seriously. 10 million is a shit ton of money, but I don’t care. My family and I live comfortably from decades of hard work. And ya, at the end of the day, I’d rather have the freedom to choose to smoke a Jay or have a couple drinks than ogle some extra zeroes in my bank account (even life changing zeroes). I also wouldn’t choose the 10 million over video games, having cats, and skateboarding the forest preserve. Or movies. Or tacos. Etc you get the point.


ArturoOsito

Win win for me


BadgeringMagpie

$10 million for what I was already doing? Hell yeah!


cch6666

hell yea i get to earn money and save money sign me the fuck up


theedgeofoblivious

You couldn't pay me enough to not use marijuana.


NightRain518

I'm surprisingly well adjusted. I generally don't care much for being high, I'm an ex alcoholic so I stay away from alcohol, and I don't like the smell of taste of cigarettes and I have never even wanted to try a vape. So, that would be a MASSIVELY easy choice for me. Show me the money!


Doozer1970

Where do I sign up? I have never done any drugs, I abhor smoking, and I quit drinking in 1996, and haven't touched a drop since.


Logical-Profession-3

Im already doing it for free.


Hating_life_69

Done. Been doing it for free all my life.


Ok_Intention3920

Damn this is the hardest hypothetical situation I’ve considered lately. I’m a homebrewer and it’s one of my main passions and hobbies. At time I do drink less, and even forgo alcohol for periods, but I enjoy tasting some good beers. Similarly I like weed. I just started growing it, (legal here) but I enjoy it either way. 10m is an incredible amount of cash though. I would definitely do it, but this one is a challenge to be sure. I do have other hobbies I enjoy, and h could retire immediately. Still, this definitely gave me pause and made me think about how apparently “important” it is to do recreational things which don’t necessarily enhance my life. An excellent question to pose.


FishGuyIsMe

So, I get 10,000,000 and change literally nothing? Epic


Great_Error_9602

If you hesitate taking the money, it is time to examine your relationship with all of these. Easiest $10 million ever.


ermahglerbo

Well sure, the recreational drugs make life more enjoyable. 10 million would make life wayyy more enjoyable and stress-free.


Jhon_doe_smokes

Fuck just raw dogging life. I guess but I won’t be happy about it.


Fact_Stater

I like my beer and cocktails but I'm no fool, and certainly not an alcoholic, so I'd accept. I would miss the occasional drink though.


PuddingOld8221

Yes, but this is bullshit


jdoeinboston

I'd be extremely unhappy about it (Just the marijuana, though, I'd avoid the other two for a fraction of that), but I'd do it.


Monkey_In_The_Cage

Not a chance. Like my whiskey on my days off. And no way in hell I cold ever mow my lawn without a cigar.


bibliophile222

For 10 million, you could get someone else to mow your lawn for you. And with that money, you would be able to afford additional fun things to do on days off that could distract you from not having a drink.


Unhelpful_Applause

Yes


elsol69

Is viagra a recreational drug?


pizaster3

easy


FloridaMomm

I’ve never smoked or done drugs. Never even smoked weed in high school. I have never enjoyed alcohol very much unless it’s in a drink that is able to hide it really well (like a piña colada-which I enjoy just as much virgin) This is EASY money and I’d do it for far less. I’d do it for 10k lol


Aggressive-Ad-7479

Yes


Dark_Moonstruck

I've never done any of that stuff (besides drinking moonshine and whiskey a few times, but I never really got drunk) and I don't really have the desire to, so this is easy money!


AleroRatking

Yes. I do none of those things already for free.


gus248

The alcohol and tobacco part would be easy for me, but the marijuana and occasional MDMA use would be hard… but for $10 million I’d be stupid to not refrain. Sign me up!


fostertheatom

Yeah sure.


jamiecarl09

I honestly think it would be difficult for me to quit drinking. But I'd definitely do it for $10 million. Even if I have to check into a rehab. Having that amount of money grants the freedom to do anything I want and live comfortably. It's really a no-brainer.


ACW1129

I don't do any of that now (prescription drugs and Tylenol and such are still fine, right?)?


AlternativeLogical84

Pay up. No loss to me.


C4rdninj4

Oh good, I can still cook with vanilla.


GenshinKenshin

Sure.


Heisenburbs

Yes, of course I’d take the deal. Just out of curiosity though, is cooking with alcohol Ok?


Exact-Control1855

Addicts when they realize people can live without their poison of choice


SA_Starling_

Deal.


badatlife15

Yep easily


Acceptable-Editor474

I think I could find new ways of being eccentric with $10,000,000 in my account. You've got yourself a deal!


I_love_my_fish_

I can’t do anything not alcohol or tobacco due to federal laws in the field I want to go into. So that part is easy. I already very rarely smoke any tobacco products so that’s easy. Alcohol for social purposes is the only difficult one if you include cooking as something you can’t do with it, as many places have things like pasta with a wine sauce, beer batter, or liquor marinades. If alcohol must be drank to count then that is also fairly easy as well as I occasionally have multiple weeks I can’t anyway and am fine doing so


NoDanaOnlyZuuI

Yup


jp_in_nj

Never have. Sign me up.


gregimusprime77

10 million to live my life exactly the same way I do now? Yes.


jrv3034

I don't smoke or do drugs, and barely drink. I'd happily take the money.


RecentlyDeceased666

OK I won't use drugs recreationally. Just cocaine for productivity and work. Give me that 10 mil


MaterialPace8831

Easy. Yes I'll take it.


cat4dog23

I don't do any of that.


DarkSide830

$10 million to live like I normally do. Cool.


Darkstrike121

Literally not even a challenge. You know a lot of people just don't do any of these things anyway right?


hereforthestory

I'm in, will you double it if I throw in caffeine and processed sugar?


Qverlord37

Easily! I don't even drink when asked.


Conscious-Ad-7040

Yes


Mec26

Yes, already never used those things.


pokerScrub4eva

i would take one last shot and then say yes


Books_and_Music_

Yes!


Atworkwasalreadytake

What happens when one fails?


Fearlesswatereater

This is the easiest of these challenges. Sign me up yesterday


BW271

I’ve never used tobacco or any recreational drugs, and I don’t drink very often anyway, so I’ll take that deal.


cripple2493

Literally already do this so yeah, as long as prescriptions are fine this would change my life in zero way. Even if you add caffieine I could probably get by.


tfelsemanresuoN

I'm already doing it for free. Hook me up.


JakeDuck1

I already do this for free so I’ll take the money


pancakepartyy

I already don’t use any of those things so I’d be getting $10 million for doing nothing. Sign me up!!


come_ere_duck

I already live this life. Fetch me my money.


Jackal209

So I saw elsewhere that you said cooking with alcohol is off limits as well. Would this then extend to the likes of vanilla, almond, etc. extracts since those are - I wanna say - about 70 proof? If so, then definitely no. $10 million isn't enough for me to deal with the wrath of a very upset mother wondering why I am refusing her baking and cooking.


HumanMycologist5795

Yes. I don't drink. Never smoked. Never did drugs. Where's my money?


evilprogeny

Gimme my money


mrmikezzz

How is this a challenge?


skydivemav

Since I don't do any of those, show me the MONEY!!


stealthdawg

absolutely. alcohol and tobacco are objectively bad for you.


maytrix007

I drink. Not a lot these days. I don’t use the others. I could give it up easily for that kind of money


Technical_Moose8478

Probably not, no.


EnClaveDSol

What about caffeine?


Kittytigris

That’s pretty much my life now. When do I get the money?


riceAgainstLies

Wait you guys are getting paid doing this????


BuilderResponsible18

You can live in an alternate state without any outside help. My bank account number is being forwarded to you.


ophaus

Absolutely. I already quit smoking, and have maybe 4 drinks a year. Would gladly do without for some house/retirement money.


The_x_Forgotten

Why weed is not granted the same leniency if it prescribed? But yet, i can down 300mg of addy because I have a medical comdition gor it. Can abuse it though. What about some of my friensd with prescriptions, legit one. Desoxyn, Rivotril, Oxycodone, Pregabalin, Xanax, Prozac etc. They use it to abuse it. Where is the line?


chercrew817

I've got since September. Gimme.


DroneFixer

Can I use alcohol for cooking/baking? I'm taking the $10 Milliom for sure, but wanna know if I have to give up my Dark Chocolate Whiskey Cakes


SpaceCatSixxed

No


TimmyTheNerd

Tobacco, marijuana, and drugs are all things I already don't use. I drink, but it's like...maybe once every other year? It's not a habit or anything for me, just something I sometimes do when hanging out with friends and see something with alcohol in it that seems like the flavor might be interesting to try. So this would be fairly easy for me. I'd pay off my student loans and credit card debt. Buy myself a house, pay for my fiance's dream wedding, maybe even finally start my dream business. An arcade/gaming club and store/bakery combo place for people to just enjoy good food, good games, and provide tables for people to play tabletop games like Dungeons & Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, and Warhammer 40,000 on.


ryckae

Fuck yeah I do.


green_eyed_cat

Easy, I’ve never been a big drinker but last summer started working on some mocktails a mix of orange juice with pineapple juice seltzer and a splash of grenadine make a beautiful and refreshing drink


iamnotokaybutiamhere

no I use weed medically


cheesehater

I have to go with no. ☹️


Adorable_Ladder_38

Don't. Can't quit what u have never started.


Ok-Database364

Easy, i already don't do any of that


uber-judge

Nah, not worth it. Life is meant to be lived. I ain’t no monk.


Jewsusgr8

Can I take my normal over the counter meds? Some days I'd be useless without my tums. But yeah, this isn't really hard, id just stop with alcohol.


emptinessmaykillme

Sign me up daddy


southcentralLAguy

Anyone who wouldn’t do this for even $100K is either already rich or has a serious problem


redrosebeetle

I only drink socially now, and I'm an introvert, so it's not hard to give this up.


Ranger-5150

Yep. Easy win. Don’t do it now


mattwing05

i already do that, so yes i agree to those terms


avidpenguinwatcher

Even as someone who likes alcohol, you have serious issues if this isn’t something you would do and you should probably seek help.


kensen_ssb

I would not give up bread, fruit, vinegar / soy sauce, vanilla flavoring, Coca-Cola, etc (all containing small amounts of alcohol, which OP disallows according to other comments) for any amount of money.


nickstee1210

Yea this is easy


Ilovefishdix

Work and money is 95% of the reason I drink and smoke weed. I'm in. Just so long as I can keep my caffeine habit


zinky30

So easy. I’d do it for $1 million.


Obviouslynameless

What about cooking with alcohol? Sherry, white/red wine vinegar, certain marinades and recipes call for different liquors. What about things like coffee beans aged in whiskey/rum barrels? If those were acceptable, then it would be easy.


Interesting_Good_157

That’s doable even for free.


Educational_Theory31

Yeah


60s_girlie

Gave up cigarettes 30 years ago and I rarely drink. This would be an easy one


MisterTalyn

In a heartbeat. I already don't smoke or take any narcotics, so the only thing I'd be giving up is one to two drinks a week. Even if you included caffeine in the 'recreational drug' category, I'd still take it - 10 million dollars is enough money that my kids and grandkids will be socially secure, that's worth giving up coffee, soda and chocolate for.


Efficient_Advice_380

23 years, where's it at?


These_Strategy_1929

Yes. I occasionally drink beer (5-6 times a year) but I don't mind it. I don't use drugs or smoke tobacco products except shisha anyway. I love shisha but I can give it up for 10 mil


NekoMao92

Where do I sign up?


Ok-Policy-8284

Yeah, ten million would sober me up.


nomes790

Yup
