anthosed
Phenomenon whereby one is lured into a period of alcohol-fueled debauchery by friends who seemingly possess a genetic variant linked to above average levels of alcohol tolerance. Often described as a subtle form of mind control or light kidnapping, anthosed victims report a feeling of euphoria just prior to abandoning their better judgement and willingly falling into a state of blind faith and excessive drinking. The period of transition between the low-key hang (when one is convinced that everything will be just fine) to “full anthos” (when one is objectively observed as being not fine) is hard to measure. Being anthosed typically results in late-night vomiting, profound regret, and a hangover that feels personal.
Many experts believe that the self-preservation tactic, the sneekely, was developed as an evasive maneuver to avoid being anthosed. Although most mental health professionals recognize anthosing as a legitimate and effective mind control tactic, it has yet to be tested as a legal defense for crimes committed while under the influence of an anthos.
