Just alcohol or grass for me.
I live on the 10th floor with a great north-facing view over the city. North view is good as I don't get too much of the (usually west) wind, and thus very little snow on my balcony. Also nice that my balcony is about 75 sq ft, so it's practically another room, at least when it's nice out.
I would like to try living higher, but as I have done the stairs during/after a fire in the building, I'm keenly aware that there is a downside to that height.
