To be honest, I blame the higher concentration of THC in pot these days.  When all I could find was swag, I could smoke a joint, have a beer, and then go fuck shit up on the streets.

Now, I take one hit, and I'm REALLY FUCKING STONED.

On the other hand, give me a bottle of scotch, and I'm ready to tear shit up.

Mmmm, scotch.
Jaeger is my drink, personally, but scotch is a wonderful thing.

I totally understand where you're coming from.
I'm a big stoner, and every time I smoke pot with people, I'm like "hey, lets go do this, it'll be fun!" and they're (most of them, at least) like "no, lets stay here."
It is my opinion that pot doesn't make people lazy, it gives them an excuse to be lazy.

On the (now rare) times I get stoned, I always go out and do stuff. I like adventures.

Drinking is what usually makes me want to sit and veg out. Though that does depend on what form the alcohol takes.

True.  Tequilla puts fight in me, whereas beer puts throw up in me.

Cept Guiness.

I tend to end up in hospital with bad/crazy injuries when I drink Pernod.

When I drink beer, I usually end up at my computer desk all night and into the morning.

It could be your tolerance as well. I used to smoke a lot up until about 4-5 years ago, then stopped. I took one hit within the past year and I was gone...And fucking giggly as hell.

I cannot offer any insights on the chemical tangent of this thread (believe it or not this is one Discordian who's never smoked pot or cigarettes).

However I did want to comment on the OP.  Namely because I've done both.  I coined the term Retail Hell(tm) because working in retail was exactly that, hell.  Yes, it did make me appreciate my home and family life, but I could still be a miserable bastard on particularily bad days (like say during the Holidaze).  Thankfully, the asswads in the Company I used to work for decided to downsize and eliminate my position, thus kicking my ass in gear to apply for my current job and finish my Master's degree, which is actually related to my current job.  I love my new job.  I also still love my family and I still love going home to them.  I haven't enjoyed it any less since getting a job I love in fact, I think it has enhanced it.  My wife recently just landed a new job with a new company, and she is really excited about it.  And I've noticed she is much, much happier lately because of it. 

Sure, someone could easily let a job they love run them into the ground, but it doesn't HAVE to be that way.  It's a matter of perspective.  You make out of a situation that which you want to make out of it.  There are always options.  Some are easier then others.  Some are more or less obvious then others.  But, I relate it back to the BIP concepts.  the more you open up your mind to possibilities, the more you will have to entertain.

i, for one, fully intend on getting a job i like.

on purpose getting a job i don't like, spending 1/3 of my time doing something i don't like, so i'll enjoy the rest more???? that's just crazy.

if that's the way you look at it, i think you need to change your attitude towards life, not your job.

Not just the Europeans, its damn good in Australia too. Work week is 37.5 hours, less people, more bennies, universal healthcare ... and koalas ... but here's a hot tip, no one here actually drinks that Foster's crap.
