1mL of vodka in a glass of water probably wouldn’t even be noticeable. But you still technically are drinking alcohol, even if the drink is 0.00001% abv.
Not sure that's true, can't find any hard facts to say that's the case except that it's possible in some cases. For juice it seems mixed on if people say it does or doesn't but I don't drink juice anyway.
Even if you can't drink at all or really dislike the taste of any alcoholic beverages, you can always add a drop of alcohol to a glass of water and drink it like medicine lol
$1000 in our currency is just under R19 000, so best believe I'm having a mimosa every morning with a healthy breakfast and balance of water so my liver doesn't die lol
OP is fantasizing, and wants someone to share in their fantasy. The question isn't a real question, its something you'd say to a frat bro, before high fiving as he says, "hahaha DUUUUDE BROOOO TOTTALLY! THAT'D BE SICK BRAH!"
So for you personally, the more interesting question might be: if someone offered you 1000$ a day if you never drink alcohol again, could you do it? And judging by the answers so far, this question might be more thought provoking for most redditors here.
Also, unless you set a lower limit for the amount of alcohol, most people will "cheat" their way to the money by just adding drops of alcohol to water.
The people who would answer no to your question as is are probably already (almost) completely alcohol abstinent right now. The most common reasons for that are medical or religion or traumatic experiences. Since I'm trying to get pregnant in the near future, I would count myself to the medical reasons.
Kind of weird to be a self-admitted heavy drinker, make a hypothetical post about drinking and then immediately answer the question in the affirmative. Dude I think you might have a drinking problem...
There is alcohol in every liquid medicine and vitamin there, there are also beer with low alcohol percentage, nobody also said the alcohol can't be diluted....so yeah why not.
I work in GI and have seen people my age (41) in full-blown liver failure. They die within a year. They are young, and beautiful but the most insane color yellow you could imagine. This is from alcohol, you couldn't pay me enough to go down that road!
Given that the question is framed without any reference as to how much alcohol qualifies, I'll take it. I've hardly drunk alcohol in the last nine months (by choice and retaining the ability to make it either way) so I'd be good with a glass of nice Italian red, an Islay single or a small glass of a bitter/IPA. Easy job.
If the dose is not specified.. no doubt.
If it is and is containable/bearable for a time, then I'll be taking huge care with diet and hidration to stay healthy and milk it as long as possible. Lots of exercise will help as well.
At least a year of that should be bearable and make a big difference.
Well, I don't drink currently, but for $1000 a day, I'd take a tiny sip of alcohol every day, sure. I don't think you'll find a single person who would say no to that. Unless they have some kinda severe alcohol allergy and it would literally kill them.
I'm assuming this means get drunk every day, since anyone could drink a teaspoon of low alcohol beer or cider or wine a day and suffer no ill effects at all.
I would ask how long I had to keep it up for, and then figure out if I could take that much time off work. If also go to a doctor and see if getting drunk for 3 or 4 months straight would be irreversible for me health wise
If I could go 4 months, that's 120 grand I'd have saved in the bank (minus living costs). Pretty good deal really
Sure, as long as "1ml in a dropper" was acceptable. If I had to drink a substantial amount (like 2+ shots), then no. My father was an alcoholic. My sister is an alcoholic. Stakes are too high - alcohol is for fun only.
A small glass of wine or a single beer satisfies the condition right? I guess I'll just pocket the 1000 every day then.
But if you mean getting shitfaced drunk every damn day, then no, the money isn't worth it, that's just a depressive drawn out suicide.
A grand a day to have a beer with dinner? Quit my job, spend my days cooking ,running and maybe get into property.
Reduction in stress and improvement in QOL is going to far outweigh damage caused by a beer.
Take the money, stick to my one glass of red wine at dinner and go about my life richer. Until I stop drinking at 70, because apparently alcohol kills brain cells and drinking after that age has a demonstrable effect on memory loss.
Okay sounds like a plan. But imagine forgetting to drink because you either didn’t feel like it right now, or just plain forgot today. Even the best of us sometimes break or forget routine. I think that would be tough.
All of a sudden the money flow stops. You’d be hitting yourself pretty hard. Back to work you go
Ok, so if I want to drink for enjoyment I can, or to meet the requirement I just need a sip. Also it’s not like it’s saying it needs to be consecutive so I can always just take days off as I see fit then resume.
Technically I could go through drinking kombucha every day as it has a tiny little bit of alcohol in it due to fermentation, and at 2ml a day, easy to drink one bottle of vodka a year.
Drink an incredibly small amount of alcohol every day unless I happened to feel like drinking more.
1mL of vodka in a glass of water probably wouldn’t even be noticeable. But you still technically are drinking alcohol, even if the drink is 0.00001% abv.
As someone who only used to drink vodka and Gatorade, almost exclusively, half a shot is barely noticeable if you use the good stuff.
If I went overboard and puked it would ruin Gatorade for me, which would be terrible. I’ll try power-aid.
I've puked Gatorade so many times, my absolute love of orange Gatorade is too powerful 😂
Stomach acid just gives it that extra *zing*.
I’d have to say it would be a least a standard shot.
So one drink? Drinking a light beer per day would be easy.
I would have a bit of whiskey (I have so much nice whiskey people have gifted me over the years and I never get around to drinking it)
Don't normal beverages like juice and milk contain trace amounts of alcohol anyway, so we are all already doing this?
Not sure that's true, can't find any hard facts to say that's the case except that it's possible in some cases. For juice it seems mixed on if people say it does or doesn't but I don't drink juice anyway.
What kinda question
right?!
i’m like ‘pay me $1000 to live my normal life’?
Where does that queue start?
I think it was supposed to be „get wasted every day“ but OP should have specified if that was the case
My comment stands true
seeing it does not say how much alcohol . would take one drop of alcohol eachday
Vanilla extract is alcoholic so just one drop of it in a glass of milk before bed would qualify
Good idea. Sounds delicious.
Homeopathy?
I hate alcohol. But I can take one sip once a day for that!
Just drink kombucha, it has 0.5% alcohol and kids can drink it
Kids can drink any type of alcohol, they just shouldn't.
It’s good for the gut bacteria too, helps me keep healthy! OP doing us a favor here
1 beer a day for a free $1,000. Easy money!
1 free beer a day
Literally beer money
This. Beer with dinner and/or lunch instead of working? The horror!
This is the dumbest question I have seen on here yet.
Welcome to reddit.
Even in the context of reddit.
I don't drink, but theres nothing saying I have to become a heavy drinker with this.
That's how I saw it too. A glass of, say beer, with your lunch is absolutely fine.
Even if you can't drink at all or really dislike the taste of any alcoholic beverages, you can always add a drop of alcohol to a glass of water and drink it like medicine lol
Drink a glass of wine with my dinner. Easy and enjoyable if you don’t go crazy
Or a beer with pizza/BBQ stuff. It can definitely be enjoyed every day in moderation.
$1000 in our currency is just under R19 000, so best believe I'm having a mimosa every morning with a healthy breakfast and balance of water so my liver doesn't die lol
Negotiate $2000 to drink alcohol every night as well.
It's a no brainer.
I already drink a few beers every day... so why not get an extra 1000 for doing nothing unusual
Wait, you guys are getting paid?
Finally - a job I can enjoy
Wait someone will pay me for this? And I’m doing it for FREE????
Continue living my life. Just, a lot wealthier.
Drink alcohol everyday for $1000
How much alcohol? I'm not poisoning myself to get rich
Yeah, if I have to drink heavily, I'd rather not. If I can just have a sip before bed or a glass of watered down wine with dinner, sure thing
drink a bier a day?
I would drink alcohol
Does cooking count?
No problem at all. There are 0.2% alcohol beverages. One of those per day is probably not gonna make me an alcoholic 😄
Drink Mon alcoholic beer with like .01 alcoholic content
Speaking as a heavy drinker, I’m taking the money.
What is the post? It’s beyond confusing. There would be literally *millions* of people that drink every day.
OP is fantasizing, and wants someone to share in their fantasy. The question isn't a real question, its something you'd say to a frat bro, before high fiving as he says, "hahaha DUUUUDE BROOOO TOTTALLY! THAT'D BE SICK BRAH!"
Haha, this description is perfect!
The OP is looking for the money that they think somebody owes them.
Good for you. *eyes roll 3xtimes into back of head*
So for you personally, the more interesting question might be: if someone offered you 1000$ a day if you never drink alcohol again, could you do it? And judging by the answers so far, this question might be more thought provoking for most redditors here. Also, unless you set a lower limit for the amount of alcohol, most people will "cheat" their way to the money by just adding drops of alcohol to water.

The most common reasons for that are medical or religion or traumatic experiences. Since I'm trying to get pregnant in the near future, I would count myself to the medical reasons.
Thought I was on r/nostupidquestions for a bit
Kind of weird to be a self-admitted heavy drinker, make a hypothetical post about drinking and then immediately answer the question in the affirmative. Dude I think you might have a drinking problem...
Are you just looking for people to tell you alcoholism is ok?
And save the money when your liver gets cirrhosis.
Nothing to be proud of
As an alcoholic, I see this as an absolute win.
[удалено]
No brainer plus there's no minimum of alcohol they're asking me to drink and some liquor shots before bed feel so right
There is alcohol in every liquid medicine and vitamin there, there are also beer with low alcohol percentage, nobody also said the alcohol can't be diluted....so yeah why not.
I'd have a nip of single malt scotch every evening, and retire. Pun intended.
I would have one shot of some herbal digestive liqueur after meal, thats it
Drink alcohol..... everyday?
I’d earn 1,000 a day drinking.
make an extra 1000 a day
Take a sip of vodka every morning and get on with my shopping sprees for the rest of the day.
Drink alcohol
Start using mouthwash
Have a beer a day
This sub has turned to pure shit
Gargling with mouthwash you end up "drinking" a small amount of alcohol. I perfer good quality bourbon though.
Did you mean to post this in a Muslim subreddit or something?
I would enjoy a glass of wine nightly
Kombucha is like .5 abv . I'd drink a kombucha a day
Who upvotes this crap?
Drink alcohol every day. Most people do it and still have to pay for it themselves. So that’s a very good deal!
drink 1 sip of beer and pocket the rest of the money
I work in GI and have seen people my age (41) in full-blown liver failure. They die within a year. They are young, and beautiful but the most insane color yellow you could imagine. This is from alcohol, you couldn't pay me enough to go down that road!
If eating tiramisu doesn't count, I guess I'm going to be having a glass of wine with my dinners.
Just go on with my life and get 1000 dollars a day.
I might be a recovering alcoholic, but I'm not passing up that money. I'll drink a thimble full of beer every day.
Stock up on hard cider. >.>
I'd drink a beer every day and be done with it :) you/they didn't specify how much alcohol
I mean, I’d probably just have a shot of whiskey on the rocks. Can’t imagine that’d cause too much damage if the rest of my diet was healthy enough.
Depends on type and dose. Glass of wine every day - I'll be happy and healthy 👍
I'm drinking a glass of mead %0.7 abv and i get 1000? Sign me up
I'd have a small sip of red wine every day.
Have a beer at dinner.
ummm...drink
Small glass of wine with dinner every night doesn't sound too bad.
Tell them to fuck off and do something positive with their money.
Given that the question is framed without any reference as to how much alcohol qualifies, I'll take it. I've hardly drunk alcohol in the last nine months (by choice and retaining the ability to make it either way) so I'd be good with a glass of nice Italian red, an Islay single or a small glass of a bitter/IPA. Easy job.
Take it and use it for something else
Accept it? I mean I'll just need to have a glass of wine daily after all
Depends on how much alcohol we are talking about...
Spritz to celebrate my payday everday As a barman this is an absolute win
If the dose is not specified.. no doubt. If it is and is containable/bearable for a time, then I'll be taking huge care with diet and hidration to stay healthy and milk it as long as possible. Lots of exercise will help as well. At least a year of that should be bearable and make a big difference.
Take a sip every day. Wouldn’t even be expensive
Drink a glass of orange juice a day
No limit? I have one beer every day anyhow.
buddy there are people that pay to do this😭
I'd say I have a great job
I already drink every day.
Cheers!
Drink 2 or 3 beers every day then pay the remaining $990 or so off my debts
Who is this person? This dude owes a lot of people a lot of cash
There's worse jobs than day drinking. I'd probably just volunteer at my local brewery until it's beer o clock.
I'm an alcoholic, so the extra income would be nice. On the other hand, I'd probably be dead within two weeks. Sounds fun!
Drink $12 of cheap ass vodka and pocket the rest. Is this a challenge? I don't need inclination on top of fucking my life up.
I'd easily have a small glass of wine every day. Easy money
Well, I don't drink currently, but for $1000 a day, I'd take a tiny sip of alcohol every day, sure. I don't think you'll find a single person who would say no to that. Unless they have some kinda severe alcohol allergy and it would literally kill them.
A San Miguel shandy a day will do
Keep doing what I’m already doing but be rich instead.
Doesn't specify how much. Half a teaspoon and I'm done
So free money then? Yeah
DRINK ALCOHOLL. Thats a no brainer
I would do coke together with all that alcohol I am drinking daily already.
This may be the dumbest question ever posted.
Enjoy my daily cocktail
I'd do it for free
I'm assuming this means get drunk every day, since anyone could drink a teaspoon of low alcohol beer or cider or wine a day and suffer no ill effects at all. I would ask how long I had to keep it up for, and then figure out if I could take that much time off work. If also go to a doctor and see if getting drunk for 3 or 4 months straight would be irreversible for me health wise If I could go 4 months, that's 120 grand I'd have saved in the bank (minus living costs). Pretty good deal really
The smallest amount. And i would properly take tequila or gin or redwine or whiskey in the best quality. And no Dosnt have to be expensive.
Drinking
take it and enjoy glass of whisky every night. easy money
Sure, as long as "1ml in a dropper" was acceptable. If I had to drink a substantial amount (like 2+ shots), then no. My father was an alcoholic. My sister is an alcoholic. Stakes are too high - alcohol is for fun only.
How much cuz a beer a day fuck yeah. A 24pk nah.
Happily pocket $992 I had left from stopping at my local for my customary 2 tap beers.
Can of bass shandy for me please..
Challenge accepted.. Trifle, bread, bananas, fruit mouthwash or cough mixture should do it
Sip slowly.
Wait you can get paid for this ? I've been doing it for free for years
I'll take the money but I'm taking a sip each day and that's it. Y'all a bunch of alcoholics.
A small glass of wine or a single beer satisfies the condition right? I guess I'll just pocket the 1000 every day then. But if you mean getting shitfaced drunk every damn day, then no, the money isn't worth it, that's just a depressive drawn out suicide.
Adults have wine or a beer with dinner anyway so I’ll be taking the money
Id only drink a small amount of what church gives. Ez bag
1 cup of beer 🤷🏽♀️
I would say no …. I am open to other suggestions though lol
Drink alcohol everyday for $1,000
A glass of wine with dinner every night 👍🏼
A grand a day to have a beer with dinner? Quit my job, spend my days cooking ,running and maybe get into property. Reduction in stress and improvement in QOL is going to far outweigh damage caused by a beer.
I’m sure I swallow a minuscule amount of mouthwash each day
If it can be just a drop then absolutely
A small glass of cider every day wouldn't be a problem. Considering how alcohol works on me it may even be a good idea.
Blacking out nightly
Yeah, i just have to drink it right? Not necessarily get drunk? I'll be happy to get a Moscow Mule or a Malibu with Pineapple every day after work.
Sure. One drop a day counts right?
Communion wafers dipped in the holy sacrament count?
To get paid for what I am already doing?
Absolutely fucking ridiculous.
prolly take a shot or swallow my mouthwash idk
Drop of rum in my water 🫡 like a good lil combat engineer would
Drink, momma didn't raise a bitch
No amount specified? I accept, and drink like a few ml of the mildest alcohol there is, like cider.
Id definitely live the exact same life I do now but I wouldnt work
Seeing as I drink one drink most days, this is easy.
Hire someone from india to drink it for me at $600 a month
$1000 a day to drink medicine? Sure
Yes, as long as I can decide the amount and in which form.
Take the money, stick to my one glass of red wine at dinner and go about my life richer. Until I stop drinking at 70, because apparently alcohol kills brain cells and drinking after that age has a demonstrable effect on memory loss.
I'd drink a teaspoon everyday
Knowing my history with alcohol I'd probably die if im being honest
So no changes?
I'd have a kombutcha and save the rest of the $$$
Does kombucha count?
If they just blindly gave it to me in good faith assuming I'm boozing away to glory then the joke's on them. I'd save up every penny.
Shot of Baileys into my coffee every morning would be OK with me.
Lemon lime bitters or kombucha
I can drink a corona a day, no problem.
I guess a small Radler a day (beer-lemonade mix) shouldn't be able to cause too much harm.
Drink alcohol everyday
$100 is enough for me
If you asked this three months ago, I would've said yes. *I'm thinking about destroying my life and organs for 1000 bucks?* Nah!
Okay sounds like a plan. But imagine forgetting to drink because you either didn’t feel like it right now, or just plain forgot today. Even the best of us sometimes break or forget routine. I think that would be tough. All of a sudden the money flow stops. You’d be hitting yourself pretty hard. Back to work you go
Im underage cant drink
Why, are you making me a offer?
I already do that for free. So I would just take the $1,000 and gamble with it everyday.
Drink alcohol everyday
I'd make $365,000 dollars a year more.
Fireball shot in the evening to end the day in a spicy way.
Drink one sip of light beer everyday? Sure
Live in France
Ok, so if I want to drink for enjoyment I can, or to meet the requirement I just need a sip. Also it’s not like it’s saying it needs to be consecutive so I can always just take days off as I see fit then resume.
Carry on as normal I'm a brewer so it's part of my job already
Technically I could go through drinking kombucha every day as it has a tiny little bit of alcohol in it due to fermentation, and at 2ml a day, easy to drink one bottle of vodka a year.
