I guess it can go either way. My friend is Hispanic and they’re genetically the race at the highest risk of liver failure. He didn’t help himself by never working out, and out nowhere chain smoking for the last 2 years and putting even more bs into his system. He was just like a lot of idiots that thought he could take these liver cleanse drinks from whole foods, gnc, and pills and stuff and be just fine. Other people can drink for 20+ years like this and have nothing happen.

Crazy enough reading about it says it you take 2 weeks off your liver will basically be healed for the most part. If you’ve drank ridiculously and haven’t screwed your liver up beyond repair you might need a month. After that your liver should be completely healed assuming you drink in moderation moving forward. The problem is people like my friend that couldn’t even go 2 days much less 2 weeks without alcohol.

Didn’t even realize it was strange until I moved and saw normal people like dating and doing social things

I agree with that logic. If it enhances life then it's great and you should drink.. once it's stops enhancing life (if ever) then youve got a real problem that needs delt with. I got arrested the last 10 times I drank lol. It wasn't fun anymore. Last time I got drunk was 7 years ago and I don't miss it.

yeah I used to be a massive club rat and I’d drink and get wasted weekly, that chit is fun af. Even now when I get drunk it just hits different than being sober, I love being drunk, makes experiences fun and better but doesn’t mean I’m gonna ignore the cons, ill limit that chit to birthdays and big events only. Drink to occasions. Not just because it’s a Friday

I only drink with women, at the poker table, or wine with dinner. If you are sitting alone and drinking then I think that is a waste and only damaging you. I’ve never been much of a drinker but I would never judge someone that likes a few beers after work every night. If you are like my brother and drink a fifth and black out every night and can’t be a normal member of society, that’s a different story.

I read if you wanna drink like an idiot then you better be working out and exercising, as it can negate the damage somewhat. If you’re just a lazy sob crushing 18 beers a day or so and do nothing then your liver is gonna be fkd.
Yeah like I said beer though. I liked liquor when I was young but I really just like beer. My job started payinh double time on sundays abd it starts 6 am so I really have no time to drink working 2 jobs and 7 days a week plus hitting the gym. I got so hungover on Easter that I made a fool of myself puking and downing more to feel better in front of my gf parents that I may not ever drink again

how can you only do it once or twice a year, drinking is too much fun especially when all your friends are degen too. limit myself in a lot of areas but check my post history, when it comes to drinking it's limitless. Respect you for controlling it srs. Most people don't handle it like that.

Beer gives you the opportunity to pace yourself could easily pull a 9-5 if that's all your drinking especially during football season but liquors guaranteed to f*ck you up and get you into too much trouble. hope your gf still hangs out w u after that i'd probably do the same ****. hopefully you never drink again but we say that after everytime we get too drunk so good luck.
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

Drink is something I occasionally partake in. Just the odd measure of whiskey for taste, or share a few bottles of craft beer and cocktails with my GF - once again for taste but also to accompany a movie. Getting a bit tipsy around each other is a nice couple activity.

My best friend at home in the UK has a drinks collection, we have a few during a visit to catch up and drink to our future.

This is how men drink IMO. As an example a 70cl bottle of whiskey can last me a whole year unless I'm trying to finish it.

Just replace alcohol with something safer for your liver such as codeine/morphine or some other weak opiate. Can also throw in a nicotine vape to get you thru the day.
Pill popping is much more trendy than guzzling beers and stinking of alcohol. It's not the 1600's anymore

I don't drink for chit. You know those annoying self-help financial gurus. They say you can save a lot of money by skipping coffee. They should say you can save money by skipping the cigarettes and alcohol.

Balance is important. Alcohol can make your life more fun, and it can also ruin it.

That's a terrible way of thinking, OP. If you need a substance to improve the quality of your life, you should thoroughly inspect what's causing your current life to be devoid of substance and make some marked changes to reduce the need to consume something to make things less dull/painful. You probably know this, though. You just need to be willing to step out of your comfort zone and make these changes.

for many young dudes imagine if the money spent on booze, cigs, weed, other drugs and in bars was invested in an etf from age 17-30. for some people i know it would be $100k+.

You say that until alcohol starts making you suffer through miserable health issues that can potentially result in a premature death that is a lot more painful and obnoxious of an experience than it needed to be without it.

Stop watching shiiit like Christopher Hitchens videos. In the end, most of the advice isn't as great as it sounds when you hear it early in your adulthood years, like hearing it ages 18 - 23 or so. Once you're in your 30's, that shiiit becomses a huge joke.

That's one way to spend your wild youth, for sure. Many great Rock & Roll songs on the exact same subject.
