Either way, if you drink, try to do it in moderation. Getting the shakes and delirium tremens is not really fun. Just this year alone I've been in hospital 3 times when I tried to stop. And 2 weeks in a rehab clinic, that was pretty interesting because you meet all sorts of fucked up yet completely nice folks there.

That is nowhere near alcoholic levels. You could stop cold if you had to. That’s equivalent to 6-8 beers a night buddy, not good for you long term but not gonna kill you if you don’t drink for a few days.

If you are a "daily bingedrinker" you can go for a long time without getting physically addicted, like years. If you don't get the shakes after 9 hours sober you won't get them. In terms of physical addiction and tolerance build up continuous drinking is a lot worse.

>> No.12705052

Some people seem able to have 2-3 drinks max and call it a night. I think that’s fine if they can stay disciplined. Others seem to keep drinking till they get super fucked up or till the alcohol is gone, and 2-3 drinks just seems like a tease. I’m the latter mostly and feel like absolute shit the next day, try to avoid it mostly but still give in every few weeks or so. However still better than doing it every day or other day, what a nightmare.

You really shouldn't recommend AA. It's a massive scam. They don't even do statistical research of their own work, anymore, after their own study proved how ineffective AA really is.

I'm somewhere between a little and a lot drunk so I'm not quite sure what you're saying. I think you might be ignoring that beers have more volume than a shot of spirit. I think that's it. I'm about to lie down and probably won't get up again before this thread dies.

Really depends. Usually a lot of beer, like 6-10 pints a few cocktails and a few shots, from sometime in the late afternoon till about 2am, more on the weekends. He’s been doing this for nearly 20 years. Never seen him super wasted, paces himself well, he just gets quiet when he’s had way too much. Good guy though just likes to drink.

Depends on the person. Consuming moderate alcohol will make an alcoholic crave more, but if you can handle your cravings to a degree then you can be OK for a while. Likewise, being teetotal benefits most alcoholics but you run the risk of any setback being catastrophic, i.e. I've broken my abstinence so now might as well go on a bender.

Nobody can really know what's right for you, and neither can you until you try it. But alcoholism is pretty insidious and will find ways to break you when you don't see it coming.

Alcohol, like most everything you can consume, has beneficial and negative amounts of ingestion. Anyone who says -any- alcohol -at all- -ever- is bad is a fucking retard brainlet who can't even be bothered to use their google search (Obviously they wouldn't be smart enough to have a different browser)

Alcohol is outstanding to include in mouth washes.
Alcohol is a blood thinner and anti stroke aid.
Alcohol is a very good carrier for other medications.
Choice of alcohol can include beneficial antioxidants.

Then you can discuss potential mental benefits of alcohol as well, which are numerous - but they are all essentially negative when compared to other forms of mental health. Yes, drinking to blacking out to forget your dead friends in Vietnam is a benefit of the substance - unfortunately the negatives outweigh the benefits tremendously. What I listed above this has no inherent negatives and alcohol is as good a choice as you can make for those things I listed.

All of this is simply fact and can be researched via google in two seconds.
