I saw it about 2 years ago, but from what I remember, I liked it very much.

I suppose I'm more curious about alcohol because its a depresssant -- it slows the activity of the central nervous system. In small amounts, it has some effects of stimulants but that is because it suppresses activity in the part of the brain that inhibits impulsive behaviour, such as loud laughter. Caffeine, weed, tobacco (and yuckies like meth and coke) are stimulants, which speed up the central nervous system. I can see how objectivists would be more interested in over-stimulating parts of themselves in a way that they cant do sober. but slow and retard your responses? that makes less sense to me.

Sounds very interesting, thank you for the heads up!!

I know that there are a handful of drug-related posts on this forum, about whether or not taking drugs (including alcohol) is moral or not. That's not my question, specifically. I suppose my question spurs from my surprise in finding that many Oists are drinkers, and many of them go further than just a nice glass of BV. They get shtinkin' drunk. My question is, how do you Oist drinkers out there morally justify your drunkenness? Or do you see it as immoral, but treat yourself to irrational behavior every once in a while? I know, from the chat, that many of you got plastered over New Years. Why?

c'est pas vrai... if you look at the wiki.fr, it will inform you that the first 2 books of AS were translated, but to very bad reviews.
