>>10330178
There is a difference between enjoying a small amount of alcohol and being a drunk. I drink maybe twice a month during social occasions and have at most 2-3 drinks. A small amount of alcohol actually has health benefits. Stop being a retard.

OP is right, it actually disturbs me how many people on this board drink alcohol regularly. You shouldn't drink because you want to "have a good time". You shouldn't drink because it's socially acceptable, and you shouldn't drink because you just want to escape the situation. The human body does not require any amount of ingested alcohol to function. Only 10 percent of the alcohol you actually drink actually makes it to your brain. The rest is processed within your liver, because it's actual poison. It destroys you liver, and gradually erodes cognition and thought processes within your brain. You're literally slowly making yourself fat and giving yourself ADHD. Why would anyone fucking do this to themselves, just for three hours of not being able to correctly feel sadness? It's not worth what it takes away from you. Leave drinking to the stupid and naive normalfag.

>>10330421
Plenty of famous intellectuals were alcoholics

>>10329835
I guess you dont eat onions, peppers, or any other regular food thats slightly toxic right?

drinking is my greatest pleasure.

>>10330448
You realize that there's a massive difference between the toxin potency of refined alcohol and a pepper right?

I was against alcohol when I was a kid too, I used to tell people how great weed is "it's just a plant from the earth" type bullshit, then reality hit and the drink helped.

>>10330433
To be fair, they were already destined to be incredibly intelligent individuals. The average normalshit can't really afford to lose the additional brain power.

Allow me to translate your post
>In hindsight, I was naive as a child because I used accam's razor and based my views on alcohol on what was known and what people told me, because I didn't know any better, despite the fact that what they were telling was actually right. Now, as an "intelligent" adult, I'm smart enough to known that everyone drinks, anyways, and that somehow makes it okay.

No they weren't. They just found a purpose and devoted their life to it. They could have easily been a failure.

If you moderate your intake and eat a whole food plant-based diet the damage to your body is pretty minimal.

>>10330707
It is a containment board, newfag. It just doesn't work very well because the moderation is trash.

>>10329835
yeah, but it attenuates my autism

Small amounts of alcohol is perfectly fine and does not damage your body or mind. Heavy drinking and binge drinking does.

Occasional alcohol consumption has health benefits in fact. Stop being a retard.

>>10329835
Two drinks of less than a pint per week can't be that bad desu, I've only started doing this recently.

>>10331116
>Red wine gud for da heart memer thinks he can call someone else a retard
You realize that you can much easier aquire the same benefits just by eating healthy right?

>>10331129
I'm not even talking about red wine you tard, and no, just eating healthy does not actually give the same benefits of occasional alcohol consumption.

Any kind of alcohol helps lower your rate of heart disease and stroke because of having alcohol in your blood, it helps blood flow through all your veins and vein permeability. It is literally the effects of having an occasional depressant to relax your arteries and what alcohol does to your veins while in your blood.

Stop being a fucking moron.

Health benefits for people living the standard American lifestyle, yes, but for "health freaks" (defined as people who get at least 30 minutes of exercise and eat 1 (ONE) serving of vegetables a day) it has no effect whatsoever.

the thing is nobody cares, and nobody cares what stupid 12 year olds like you who just discovered /pol/ consider "degenerate"

Just like weed, alcohol only slows down development of the brain. It doesn't actually kill any brain cells. Unless of course you, you know, drink yourself to death.

>>10331899
Completely abstaining from something like alcohol is ridiculous. Yes, if you are a degenerate who can not control yourself or if you have some other health issues, abstention may be the best option for you. But you are more annoying than the typical militant vegan or health fad freak at this point.

>>10331899
Alcohol doesn't make you fat though, only eating more calories than you burn makes you fat. That statement makes as much sense as saying fruits and vegetables makes you fat. The only thing that can make you fat is yourself.

I don't mind other people drinking as long as they can manage their intake and know when to stop.
I have friends I refuse to be around when they drink because they will get so fucked up and then I end up having to babysit them the rest of the night.

Because how far do you take it? Do you refuse to eat anything which was cooked with alcohol at some point, but which was extensively burned off (for all practical purposes, completely burned off)?

I don't understand why people who do drink get so aggressive over fact that I don't

>>10332480
Because we use it to numb ourselves in place of real coping skills, and you saying you don't drink is like saying you live a healthier and happier life than we do, which is probably true but puts us off anyways.

Same reason obese people will chide people who are trying to lose weight for bringing a salad to work for lunch. We are self-destructive, and to excuse ourselves of guilt we delude ourselves into thinking our behavior is the norm and that anyone who's escaped the cycle is the misguided one.

I do drink, but you're a pathetic addicted retard if you think abstinence is "ridiculous". Ironically, you both have a lot of growing up to do yourselves if you actually think alcohol consumption is in any way a sign of maturity. I hope for your sake you're just falseflagging to make drinkers look like obnoxious morons.

>>10332461
Yes, and I'm saying that is still a ridiculous statement to make. I understand that some people need to draw a line for whatever works for them, but then to take the sort of attitude that is displayed in this thread, particularly buy the post that I was responding to, it is ridiculous.

Most would have had "genuis genes" as well as genes that predisposed them to hard work and perseverance.

By the same rite some of the genes linked to intelligence are also linked to depression and poor impulse control and as such it makes sense that some of the most prolific people would also be the most prolific drinkers. For them the calculus is pretty simple, they feel like shit and this substance will make them feel better for now while not really bringing them down significantly because they're already so far above the average drole that they fucking want to die.

A hundred years from now people will be talking about how the people of the here and now were so superstitious and why the fought so hard to reject the idea that our genetics are the biggest singular factor insofar as determining how we actually do the human.

>>10329835
>You shouldn't live because life is dangerous.

Quit being pedantic. Beer is a shit ton of liquid calories and is just as bad in soda; just like with soda, when people say it makes you fat, they mean that they make it easy to get fat. Wine isn't much better and even the lower calorie hard spirits actively make you hungry.

I'm not sure why you think I didn't. Probably because you're a total retard, as evidenced by you conflating alcohol consumption with maturity.

>>10334058

To keep the analogy thing going (and I've lived in the UK and parts of the continent for a decent amount of time, in spite of being 'murrican), that's like an American telling a bong that the South is the cultural epicenter of the US.

London has done nothing but develop for the past 200 years beyond it's capacity. It's like New York. It's all grey and dirty. Outside the British Museum I would tell anyone to stay clear.

>>10331177
An association between moderate
drinking and lower risk for CHD does
not necessarily mean that alcohol itself
is the cause of the lower risk. For example,
a re v i ew of population studies indicates
that the higher mortality risk among
abstainers may be attributable to socioeconomic
and employment status, mental
health, overall health, and health habits
such as smoking, rather than part i c i p a n t s’
nonuse of alcohol (Fi l l m o re 1998).

>>10334081

It sounds like you're agreeing with me, but don't realize it.

>>10334091
Imagine London being 'the best the South has to offer', now compare it to Scotland's best or say Yorkshire (York).

It doesn't compare.

I live in a shitty ex mining town in Durham but in 5 mins walk I'm in gorgeous rolling countryside or a 10 min drive to something culturally/historically interesting.
London was fucking concreted over in the 80s for property developers.

I have seen nice areas in the South, I was in the army so was all around Surry a lot.

But the surrounding counties are full of tacky cunts too. They're ruining the area.

>>10334094

I haven't seen coke or acid for over a decade, but I've also spent the last decade on here pretty much every day. The other ones are definitely still cool.

>>10334101
London is most definitely not "the best the South has to offer", that was my whole point. Try Cambridge, Ely, Oxford, Bath, Norwich. If you're after natural countryside try Dorset, Cornwall, Norfolk. You seem to have a very sweeping opinion of the whole of the south based on a handful of bad experiences

>>10331899
Here's a reason: it tastes good and makes me feel good and I'm a fucking adult that can make my own choices. I guess the most important thing is it means I'm not a self-agrandising, insufferable cunt telling people how great I am for not drinking.

>>10334104
there's nothing cool about meth or weed. Pot is utilitarian at least but meth is bullshit. I see little difference between double wide tweakers and tech stock portion tweaks out west.

>>10332507
I understand what you're saying, but I personally think that's a cop out for a lot of people who just don't want to try because they didn't have the "right" genetic make up.
Eddie hall is a solid example of someone who beat out genetic superiors with extreme dedication and hard work.
LeBron James is genetically gifted but also devotes his entire life to basketball. I guess I just don't like the attitude of, well they have the right genes so it's easy for them, and that's the vibe I get from a lot of jaded people who simply give up without giving an ounce of effort towards anything in life while professional athletes and intellectuals are continuously pouring their entire beings into their work.

>>10334860
I'm not saying dwell on it? Where the fuck did I ever say that someone should dwell on it?

Seriously, fucking quote me. If I said that I didn't intend to.

Just acknowledge it and move on. People need to accept the fact that there's a good chance that being the best at something isn't something that is possible for them and do the best they can regardless, becuase trying your hardest and then blaming yourself for not trying hard enough when you don't beat the other guy that is trying just as hard as you and is just going to be better naturally is just as fucking toxic as saying to yourself that there is no point in trying in the first place because he's better.

We live in a world where we really don't have to be the best, and that's fucking wonderful. To a reasonable extent we have designed a world around us as to where survival of the fittest isn't a rule for us anymore, becuase pretty much everyone alive can survive and thrive as they are, regardless if they are from the best stock or the worst genetic abominations that were ever popped out of some bitches cunt.

Is it nice and flowery and motivational? Fuck no, it's really not, again reality ensues. However that isn't a reason to deny that fact because some people might get discouraged.

You play with the cards you are given, but if you just close your eyes and throw the cards on the table hoping that it's going to work out every time then you're far more likley to lose then if you carefully consider your choices and make the best plays you can in the given situation. Does that mean sometimes your best option is to fold on a hand? Yea sure, but there are also a lot of times where you can still win with a shit hand.

tl;dr
Pick up poker, you might learn something about life.

Previous studies that showed that moderate drinking of alcohol was healthier than abstention failed to take into account that many of those who abstain were previous alcoholics who's health had already compromised by their previous drinking. When that subset it's eliminated, the relationship between drinking and death rate becomes linear - the more you drink, the poorer your health and the higher the death rate.

Then causing security to chase you because you started to piss on the pool tables' legs. Yeah..I'm back to only drinking >2 daily since that's the amount for me where my health isn't at risk.

>>10336807
cont.

I honestly did acid the following evening not knowing if I would feel my intestines rupture from the glass. Moments like that make me content that I spent some time back, funding a home audio system. I don't get how you can't enjoy some drinks. Wine is probably tastiest followed by, beer, and (for me) vodka.

You're going about it the wrong way then

>mfw someone tells me they don't drink

>>10331923
You literally just proved his point by calling him a dumb insult. You sure the alcohol hasn't fried your brain yet?

>>10332390
You're saying that just because someone else drinks means that it's ok for you too as well?

Just use it in moderation.

What exactly are people like you defending? The right to a boring-ass life? I can't believe you faggots are fucking virtue signaling about alcohol. Alcohol has been a part of human existence since time immemorial and you faggots are acting like you're in fucking MENSA for being teetotaler grandstanders. If you don't want to drink, fine, if you do, fine. It seriously doesn't matter. Everyone has a different definition of happiness and success. If you're on this board bragging about how you don't drink you're probably a retard for completely unrelated reasons.

>>10338636
Every drink of alcohol kills brain cells and they never grow back, just so you know.

>>10338639

That's cool. Being on this board does the same thing.

>tfw you hit .10 and hit "normal"

>>10329835
Hey, I actually agree. Finally someone who feels like me.

>>10338647
Not literally true, though.

>>10330421
>Why would anyone fucking do this to themselves, just for three hours of not being able to correctly feel sadness?
This DESU.

I finally understood that I use alcohol as an escapist tool for when I don't feel good enough.

The problem is that as a Belgian, our whole culture is about beer. The only reason why half of my friends are my friends is because we share an alcohol consumption routine.

I've limited my alcohol consumption the last month and it's been going pretty well (limiting the amount of drinks and only drinking light beer). I don't know if I will ever be able to fully stop though. Also it's much harder to survive parties where you aren't having fun if you don't want to get drunk.

>three hours of not being able to correctly feel sadness
>three hours

Try 10 years. Dumb europoors once again losing the plot.

>>10338836
If you've been drunk these past 10 years to suppress your sadness, try not drinking for a while and see how that goes

>>10338905

What a dumb thing to suggest.

>>10329835
>Don't you love your liver anons?
if i loved any part of myself i probably wouldnt be drinking

>>10338940
are you me?

jesus drank wine and so should can you!
wine is good

>OP calmly explains in a completely in arguably way why alcohol consumption is bad
>Butthurt Al/cuck/holic goes completely defensive and calls OP a retard and a faggot, proving his point yet again
It's like clockwork

>no one else could possibly behave similarly

>>10330421
I drink alcohol because it tastes good

I mean realistically it has more to do with socioeconomic status. Twin studies in low income families only accounted for 8% genetic influence, while in high socioeconomic status it was around 75%. Having access to resources that can enrich your mind can help greatly, letting people reach their full genetic potential.
For the most part genetics doesn't influence more than nutrition and environment because people do not have time to read and hone their skills.

It's pointless to argue about this. The point is an individual who has a self defeating attitude will not succeed. Yes, you should do what you're best at. However, if you stop doing something because you fail at it, then come to the conclusion that you're not that smart. That is what you will become.

Jesus fuck, it's a total shit show in here. OP here, I made this thread like two days ago and forgot about it because my computer had to restart. Half of you idiots are completely missing the point of my post, it's not about not drinking to look down upon drinkers, or to flaunt some kind of superiority, or just to inflate your ego. It's about not drinking because it's bad for you! Why is everyone so fucking defensive?
