A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

"alcohol makes you act without thinking and pot makes you think without action" is so gonna be stolen for future use. Yoink.
For real. This is my basic approach to parenting too and I feel the same way about both substances (while also enjoying both), but I've never seen it expressed in just the right way like this. It's perfect. Another one I've found useful is "drinking is borrowing happiness from tomorrow". Applies to certain other substances to a degree but damn if it isn't exactly right for alcohol. A loan is not always a bad idea, to be clear, but it's good to be clear on the terms of any loan, lol.
Help yourself! I was particularly proud of that one. Seemed to summarize them perfectly!
