Yeah, that was the dominant myth back then. Dropping acid  was safer than drinking alcohol because there were no lasting effects. ;)

Never heard that one, I might have come along too late. I don\'t know about long term, but I have to say that in my limited experience, the hangovers were MUCH more pleasant than with alcohol--more of an "afterglow."

Of course as I\'m sure you know, the time aspect is more an aspect of middle age and suburban life. However, I am happy to report that now that we are facing an empty nest, my wife and I are looking to move to Berkeley (or Oakland, San Francisco or my preference, Hawaii). Even if back in Berkeley, it won\'t be the same as being an undergrad, but at least I can afford the better restaurants and won\'t mind getting carded.
