Really it depends on how deep you want to go with the question. You say Drugs or alcohol but what kind of drugs? Are we talking cocaine, marijauna, meth, caffeine, heroin, nicotine, or opiates? Alcohol is self explanatory so i'll not list the thousands of different kinds of beers and whiskeys.

Prior to heart surgery, I liked to have a few beers now and then as well as was a smoker for over 20 years. Post heart surgery, I do not participate in any of my old habits. No beer, no smoking, and def no recreational drugs.

With that being said, I would choose drugs over alcohol as I still like to drink mountain dew and caffeine is technically a drug.

Caffeine and Phil go back to 1963 when I was six and had my first tea.

So caffeine is staying around as is some alcohol,

but tobacco coke herion all drugs with maybe just maybe a very small amount of weed are not happening.

It is likely that the price of bitcoin will reach $80K, not this month maybe early next month. but will this happen? If demand for bitcoin gets higher and there are no negative issues, it is possible that this will happen.

Still can't predict for next month has possibility for bitcoin reach above $80k or not? recently bitcoin have been success break out above $70k although today price decreasing few percent. Raise up to $80k need around 10% for bitcoin increasing and looks has opportunity maybe two or three months later. Looking for bitcoin demand next month have increasing drastically or bad news will make many holder panic for selling their bitcoin assets in lower price.
So far have good news after ETF Ethereum approval and bitcoin keep consistent raise above $70k, just waiting how long bitcoin keep stable price.

Btc will get past 80k but it will be slow to happen.

My thought after decoupling was that ETH will fly solo impacted by it's utility and the general market sentiment largely influence by BTC.
The was expected to be a game changer but i think we seeing the opposite or perhaps there some info i am mising?

Why do you think that they are decoupled?

fine wine and quality spirits are okay but as said above  in moderation.

As for weed I used to do it often but as I aged (67) I rarely smoke or eat an edible .

Do I think they are needed nope but if you eat quality foods  they are often better with good wine.

To invest money into producing solar panels can be good idea? your thoughts?

Actually; first of all, before you invest money into a business you have to do a feasibility study about that business you want to invest, and have knowledge  concerning that very business, before you can invest your money in it.
No matter how lucrative no matter how enticing the business is you need to have a knowledge concerning it before you invest.
Investing your money to produce solar panel is good,  but you need to have knowledge about it first before you invest. That's my candid opinion.

Yes, the only time we can tell if investing in something just like in producing solar panels is when we have enough knowledge to the investment or business that we are planning. If we only look to the side of how much money we might make on the investment, nothing will succeed with the investment we make.

solar panels are cheap these days especially that China is massively producing these panels. i'm wonder though what OP would do with the energy. iff this is for mining BTC or altcoins, then he gonna need a lot more than just to power a house.

i have this plan once upon a time but i would need to buy a land just near a shoreline to guarantee wind can turn a turbine that can generate a lot of energy to run 10 GPU plus a house. not sure if i am ready to move to such place. 

To want to build solar panels an compete against China in making them is quite a challenge. I suppose you could make a higher end panel that has more power per panel and is clean when recycled. But a 400 watt china  vs a 550 watt your country will not always sell well. you need careful study.  Good luck.  Note I quote the post above because he mentions China competition

I purchased some more coin today.

Signature has grown for me . The mine ended I am selling off all my gear.

Well I suppose they could have been more transparent then they were.

But the mine pulls power. bigly
the mine has 24/7/365 internet traffic.
Pretty easy access to the airforce base due to the close proximity.

I wonder 💭 exactly what needs to be hidden.

Also how legal is it to film air force activities.

I am near fort McQuire it has lots of military activity I could photo it pretty easy peasy.

Is it worthwhile for a spy to do this I don’t think so.

But what exactly could a foreign national access by being a mile or 2 from a military base?

usually spys work at people on the base via honey trapping more than any other method.
