I started drinking canadian club as soon as I woke up and I'm on pace to drink about 2 liters before I pass out. Beer sounds like a nutritionally sound and healthy alternative. I wouldn't worry about it.

I've had a 12 pack for breakfast dozens of times. It doesn't even get me buzzed, I just get a headache and ward off withdrawals for a few hours until it's an acceptable time to go to the liquor store.

Weed, like gambling, sex, shopping, or just about anything else that results in "pleasure" can be psychologically addictive.

On the other hand, weed is not physically addictive, whereas opiates, tobacco, and alcohol are.

You're an idiot if you really believe what you're saying. You're so far off the mark, I would be more likely to believe someone saying they quit heroin cold turkey with no withdrawals.

Yea, same with gambling addicts and fatasses who can't control what they eat. Once you reach a certain level of maturity you start to notice these trends and it's easier to pick up when the problem is the person or the substance. Sure people get addicted to gambling, food, weed, beanie babies, but those are personal mental health issues more than actual issues with gambling, food, weed, OR beanie babies. If you can't handle your beanie babies without going off the rails, then maybe you're the issue, and not the beanies, ya dig?

No.

Withdrawal becomes incredibly bad when you drink massive amounts of alcohol. Most alcoholics will never experience anything that severe, but for the really serious self destructive drinkers it's common.

I hope most of you guys don't drink as much as me and never have to see what it's like. I feel like a hypocrite because I always recommend people stop drinking or cut back in these threads despite the fact I'm pissed.

Ain't it the truth. Drunk all weekend turned into mild weekday drinking and drunk all weekend. That expanded to thursday/sunday drinking. Then the monday hangover is so bad that I had to expand into sneaking out of work early for medium drinking. Which really only pushes the hangover back. Before you know it you are spending your few sober hours too damn shaky to sign your own name and barely able to make normal conversation.

Weirdly enough, the only thing that helped me get back to drinking to a "reasonable" level was going to the gym. And I just can't keep it anywhere near me. My drinking is entirely proportional to how much I have access too.

No. Not even remotely. Spent 2 years blackout drunk at least 3 days per week, and cannot relate with that feel.

It's possible you're apt to be drinking something fermented from a grain or fruit you're allergic to. Ethanol itself triggers the release of histamine from mast cells and raises histamine in the brain as well as norepinephrine. Having a lot of histamine, down the line, can cause upregulation of dopamine, serotonin, etc, which can provide quite a body high and feeling of physical comfort, and is a level that alcohol itself often won't cause you to reach. That's just speculation though.

All alcohol ever made me feel was warm, physically relaxed, then sick. Nowhere near as good a physical vibe as even chocolate anandamide, theobromine, and cAMP raising buzz. Though I'm the guy who posted about chronic pain above, so my perception might be pretty skewed as far as what constitutes extreme physical comfort.
