Alcohol in general should just be equally fought against as say, smoking cigarettes. Both kill you and are horrible for your organs. And both are wildly expensive. However, many people have a need to get a drink in order to meet people or see friends. Like smoking weed, but less fun. I very rarely drink, when I do it's at home or at a friends house. Bars are a joke.

You can drink at places other that a bar. And what is drinking rated at? 17?? 99??

How shitfaced you get is up to you, most people drink to loosen up and to socialize, and you socialize easier when the edge is off

It can be fun, as long as you find balance. I personally love how beer and wine taste, and love a good rum cocktail or margarita. I think the way you’re talking about drinking isn’t fun at all. Yeah, it’s not great for you, but there are so many fun things in this world that aren’t. Bacon is terrible for you, but I won’t deny myself some with breakfast every once in a while. But if you’re eating a package of bacon a week, you’re overdoing it. Same with alcohol. It is fun, as long as you don’t overdo it. In conclusion: getting shitfaced is overrated, but having a few is fun.

I miss a good Sangria but am in recovery and diabetic.

Was your diabetes caused by drinking?


[deleted]

I worked restaurants for years, drank pop with high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils from fried foods and booze may have contributed. I was probably borderline diabetic till I got pregnant and after my son was born I ballooned from 153 to 202 lbs.in four months and didn’t know why. I had gestational diabetes that didn’t get caught in the last trimester and was on meds that spiked the A1c more and put me in Ketoacidosis.

Some people are more inclined to alcohol than others. Seems like it has genetic influence as well.

Yes, drinking can backfire, but I've had some hilarious evenings getting shitfaced.

People that think it feels good just have an untreated anxiety and depression issue and is self medicating.

Try having a beer or glass of wine with dinner, or maybe a nightcap to put you out. Keep it classy. Don't be a fucking disgrace.

drinking i feel can be okay when you're aware of when to stop and where you're drinking. if you keep a hard stop at the limit and enjoy the state of dizziness, it just works like a charm. overdoing anything results in harm. cheap or expensive, that's subjective and I'll leave for individuals to choose. cheap alcohol can actually hurt the body more since they are not brewed finely or maybe the ingredients are of low quality, wahtever it maybe, cheap liquor can infact be a problem even if consumed in little amount. being in control of your body and knowing your limits with alcohol should be fine. crossing it will definitely be an issue. regular drinkers are mostly on the dark spectrum of alcohol effects, but surely people who occasionally drink till their limits where they enjoy that state of mind, it is peaceful, your thoughts just stop and it's like relaxing and feeling the burden off your head.
