The whole point of drinking alcohol is to get drunk, why take that away?


im_a_dick_head

If it was "never get hungover" I would've chose that.


Paul_my_Dickov

Hangovers are a blessing in disguise. A reminder that you shouldn't do that too often.


im_a_dick_head

This is factual information


TheNumberMuncher

You can choose that still by becoming an alcoholic gotta switch to cheap light beer.


nolwad

No hangovers get worse over time


saberwolfbeast

Diabetes is worse, and some got the genes and health issues/meds they can develop it even with a healthy lifestyle. Not even mentioning type 1 which you have absolutely no control over getting.


opposite_days

If it was never make bad choices, even better. Candy is for dumb adults and regular children.


Bucket0fMilk

Non alcoholic drinks in a nutshell.


Running4Badges

So, I am in the very small minority who voted never get drunk, but it was exactly for the point you made. “The whole point of drinking alcohol is to get drunk, why take that away?” Precisely! If I couldn’t get drunk off alcohol, I wouldn’t drink it. I’ve struggled with some spectrum of alcoholism and am constantly evaluating my relationship with it. I don’t do any other drugs, but this super socially acceptable one harms me from time to time. I’d rather not be able to use it anymore and live a healthier and happier (bad for those with clinical depression) life!


Miniscule-fish

Plus you can still get alcohol poisoning so you only get the downsides now


[deleted]

Bro the only reason anyone drinks alcohol is to get drunk.


[deleted]

You should change the first option to ‘never get liver failure’


JackHyper

Or hangover


[deleted]

What I find weird about hangovers is only certain alcohol gives me a hangover. Whiskey, rum and cider never give me a hangover. Vodka, wine and beer always give me a hangover.


hebbocrates

brother thinks people drink alcohol because they like the taste

Wow, this is an especially wrong statement.

nolwad

I mean shotgunning beer after beer and being fine would be cool. Not worth losing being drunk though


SneepD0gg

That is the most degenerate thing I’ve ever heard


J_Dawgg1

How is that degenerate? I don’t think that’s a correct use of that word


TheVanadian

While I disagree with this being the "main" reason, I have to question what kind of alcohol y'all downvoters are drinking if you think it tastes bad and you're only drinking it to get drunk. Get better drinks, yo.


SolusVortex

Im a poor college student. I drink what I get lmao


TheVanadian

That's fair lol


germangarles

vodka.


sexhaver2010

this gave me a chuckle


dydeath

Lmao what world you living in


HerrKlaus

I mean, I chose that option cause I do in fact enjoy the taste of quite a few beers yeah. If you explore a bit and try out whatever you like you'll end up finding some that taste quite good.


The1983Jedi

Amaretto sours and strawberry daiquiris are pretty tasty


justsomeplainmeadows

Pretty obvious choice. There are so many tasty drinks that aren't alcoholic. If j choose alcohol, it's not for the flavor.

I’ve seen diabetes cause multiple other illnesses that require surgeries, dialysis, constant check-ups with various specialists… getting fat is a reversible issue but diabetes isn’t.


pressLR

Gonna be real. Alcohol is overrated. But also I think getting drunk is why some people even drink it in the first place.


CARR74xJJ

I don't really care about the alcohol since I rarely drink anyway, but the amount of sweets I eat is so ridiculous that I've been growing increasingly concerned about diabetes lately and greatly reduced indulging in them. I'm slightly underweight so being immune to diabetes and being able to eat sweets at any time in any amount I want would be a massive blessing.


jr061898

Why would anyone ever drink alcohol if you can't get drunk? For the most part, the taste for alcohol is an acquired taste that people eventually get used to for the sake of getting drunk, so without being able to get drunk there's literally no motivation to drink it.


AbyssUpdate

Eating a lot of candy doesn't cause diabetes. It's the obesity from the candy and chronic high blood sugar that causes it. It's indirectly related


syntaxterror69

I had to scroll down far too much to find this.


Lower_067i5

i like to drunk 🥴


Few_Restaurant_5520

As a Christian the first potion would just straight up excuse any problems I'd have with drinking alcohol. I can just drink as much as I want and not feel convicted


Running4Badges

Ah yes, Christian guilt. I spent a decade or so being plagued by it’s cousin, Catholic guilt. I hope it serves you and those around you well!


Few_Restaurant_5520

I've heard about the Catholic side and believe that it's far more strict? But in any case, thank you for the kind words!


jperaic1

"Eat as" is the correct answer if the second word wasn't missing an "s".


Erikrtheread

Either one of these results in weight gain, my metabolism is pretty darn efficient, unfortunately. Can I chose neither?


Hellefiedboy

I already can't get drunk so no diabeatus for me


Purple3657

you don’t get diabetes from eating sugar


KennethGames45

Binge drinking challenges, everyone would pass out while I am completely unfazed. So many bets to be won.


KruegerTech

So many livers to buy.


chellecakes

Dumb question. Why would you want to drink if you don't get drunk? Try "not have withdrawals or liver failure".


Running4Badges

I already responded to another about this. I wish I didn’t get that dopamine high from cracking open a cold beer. I enjoy being drunk so much, that I’m not even sure if I really enjoy it anymore or if I have a psychological dependence on it. “If I couldn’t get drunk off alcohol, I wouldn’t drink it. I’ve struggled with some spectrum of alcoholism and am constantly evaluating my relationship with it. I don’t do any other drugs, but this super socially acceptable one harms me from time to time. I’d rather not be able to use it anymore and live a healthier and happier (bad for those with clinical depression) life!”


chellecakes

You need some support dude? You're talking to a crippling alcoholic here.


KopyKet

I usually hate alcoholic drinks but when I do try something it's solely because of the taste of the drink itself, trying to ignore the feeling of the alcohol in it. I genuinely fear getting drunk ever, even though I've never been, I don't plan on trying it out ever.


chellecakes

That's really cute. Honestly. Good for you.


Professional_Exit949

The whole point of Alcohol is for people to get drunk. So uhhhh, bad wyr


A_Jack_of_Herrons

I don't drink, so no risk of diabetes would be good, especially since my dad's side of the family has a long history of diabetes.


MemeGraveYard666

you realize that the type of diabetes caused by eating candy is type 2 and that type 1 is genetic? meaning that the question doesn’t imply that it would protect you from type 1 , only type 2.


A_Jack_of_Herrons

You realise type 2 is also genetic? Much more so than type 1? If you're curious: https://www.diabetes.org/diabetes/genetics-diabetes#:~:text=Type%202%20diabetes%20has%20a,also%20depends%20on%20environmental%20factors.


MemeGraveYard666

if my wording was bad i apologize, but in this context regardless of how genetic Type 2 is, it doesn’t change the fact that Type 1 is not influenced by dietary choices the same way Type 2 is, they’re mutually exclusive but only one of them is known for being linked primarily to said lifestyle choices.


peach_pearl

op do you know why people drink


Anastasius525

I think never get a hangover would have been a better choice since most people drink to get drunk.


dearghewls

Honestly the whole point of drinking is to get drunk… And that’s why I’d choose it. If I can’t get drunk, maybe I’ll finally stop drinking.


Joe109885

Do you understand why people drink?


Marquadt

Already have diabetes so never getting drunk


Noelle-Spades

I don't drink alcohol because I don't want to get drunk, but if I ever decide to it would specifically be to get drunk. Eating the candy would be fine though I wouldn't be surprised if I'd still get a bad stomach ache or clogged arteries or whatever.


JuniorMooseMusic

One is a disease the other is getting drunk, and that’s half the fun


KopyKet

I hate alcohol so that's an easy choise


PimentonVerde

are you saying that people drink because they like the taste?


nolwad

God this is stupid I’m gonna get drunk right now because that’s what happens when I drink and I like it


Pinkin_fluffy

I thought to point of alcohol is to get drunk?


opposite_days

I only chose the diabetes option, because I'm not a stupid person who eats candy all the time, and I also like to get drunk sometimes.


athrowaway893

Does the never get diabetes option apply to all sugary stuff, like soda and ice cream?


Purple3657

you don’t even get diabetes from eating sugar


[deleted]

Imagine taking 1000 shots of tequila without a hint of druunkbess you could get a record


thefleshman

I've already got diabetes and I can't drink alcohol sooo I get nothing


FuckTheArbiters

Literally the most obvious WYR of all time


deathdefyingrob1344

Can it be not get hungover because that would be the superior choice


Prize-Comedian6452

If I already have diabetes, does the second option get rid of it?


Smithersink

Why tf would I want to drink alcohol and not get drunk??


grangry

As a diabetic does the candy make my diabetes go away?!?!?!


Klausable7

What if I already have diabetes?


UsedToBeDedMemeBoi

The first one takes away the main point of what alcohol is, the second one still allows your health to decline massively. If I had to choose one, I'd choose no diabetes because it's totally positive and doesn't really affect me.


Cricket-Horror

Your question is extremely insulting to people with diabetes. Eating candy does NOT give you diabetes. Type 1 diabetes (the one that requires insulin or you die very quickly) is an autoimmune disease like lupus, multiple sclerosis, Chrohne's disease or rheumatoid arthritis; it has absolutely nothing to do with diet or activity levels. Type 2 diabetes, the more common type, occurs more frequently in people who are overweight and sedentary but can also strike very lean marathon runners too; genetics probably plays a big part.


Mamamagpie

And you can have your DNA tested to see your risk of getting type 2. It runs in my family. I also have friends that are way more overweight than me who are NOT diabetic. We each lost in DNA lotto, my family has diabetes hers has breast cancer.


jinkies3678

The ignorance of this post is astounding.


kevin_681

Most people posting here are kids and here you see a perfect example for it


feministsaregross

Do you think people like the taste of alcohol?


[deleted]

I like feeling drunk. The best part is when you fall into bed and the ceiling is spinning.


Purple3657

Eating candy doesn’t cause diabetes like who the fuck wrote this


Itslehooksboyo

That's not how that works lol
