I NEVER drank after HS, and yet, most of my friends were parting pretty hard. I hardly ever drank in jr/sr either.

You're supposed to grow up after HS and not need to party to have a good time!! Staying away from all the social drinking takes a lot of willpower and confidence.


It IS very sad when people drink to "cope." I've known enough people who had drug and/or alcohol addictions and it's very very dangerous. They should seek help immediately. I'm sure the pandemic made it tougher to seek good help, so that's another thing that got fuked up by all this.
Fact: My first-generation uncle was a boxer who fought Sugar Ray Robinson! He also fought in the war, sacrificing the career he deeply loved, so people could have the right to freedom.

Liver failure is a MOFO and its happenng to women younger and younger because they drink like men and their bodies cannot handle it well.

The scary part is that up to nearly 80% Liver failure you feel fine .............and then you fall off a fckin cliff

And society wonders why depression is at an all time high. The most popular and available drug that's cheapest to get and accepted by society? Massive depressant.

Worse, it is actually celebrated that if you have some drinks and party plus then take energy drinks to get yourself back up the next day you're actually cool on social media.

My family is full of alcoholics, most of them functional but they drink every day. I've even fallen into that trap before during COVID.

So the fact that they're high-functioning means they don't think anything is wrong and they don't plan on seeking some kind of help, right? That must have been REAL tough growing up in that environment, even when they are good caring people.


And yeah, the pandemic made it almost impossible for many many people to get the clincal help they needed- including medical, mental, dental, specialist follow-ups, etc.. Many people were on their own....

Yeah it was normal for my mother to have five stiff drinks every night. She was the one that got really bad once my sister and I were away. When they found her passed out in the kitchen (for the first time) they found two DUFFEL BAGS of bottles hidden all over the house. Father had no idea but he also drank himself and still does. Growing up with it was just kind of normal, like huh, your parents don't drink that much every day?

Great aunt was an alcoholic, mother, father, one uncle, stepmother, etc, etc. My sister doesn't drink at all as a result and I'm very aware of my limits.

No, they're not "coping" with being single. They are weak-minded and immature when they are doing things to fit in because of peer pressure.

Yes, it's common knowledge that alcoholism runs in families. It sucks. People know a situation like yours has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with biochemistry and heredity.


You and your sister sound very strong!! God bless!!

Fatties don't want to date other fatties. They're having the least amount of sex of any recorded generation. That means they aren't dating and women go crazy when they're single.

Agree. Stupid biological differences.

- drinking has been socially acceptable for a long time
- there are a lot more people thatwanta traditional marriage and family, but can't afford it, or can't find a sound partner, or both

A little controversy now, but I think the "rat heaven" study is still relevant. Rats addicted to drugs, moved to a happy rat environment, most addicted rats reduced usage or even stopped.

Addictions increase when more people are unhappy in their daily life.

We could make changes to support young people forming healthy functioning families. But I'm not going to hold my breath.

Might as well legalize MJ and start a public education effort to inform women that once they are 21 or so MJ is a better choice because their bodies can't metabolize alcohol like a man's body can.

MJ meaning pot?? Legalizing pot will increase driving fatalities and accidents. Not a bright idea, imho. It's the same thing as a DWI!! People aren't going to stop driving, even when under the influence.

*(Fyi, I personally believe that abortion should not be illegal per se, as criminalizing it just pushes it into the black market and increases risks for all parties involved. But women and soyboy men have to learn that it is still killing a baby, no matter how they try to sugar coat it into something its not.)
The few women I've known who have admitted getting an abortion have been severely traumatized by it and are racked with guilt.

Women are already completely overcome by their corporeal desires and are unable to resist gratification. This will make that even more pronounced lol

I mean if I were a HTC female I’d probably drink my brain into oblivion in the hope I could erase the many memories of post chipotle visits to the bathroom where I force out a ghastly chocolate brontosaurus legs that are completely unflushable and make zero progress with the plunger due to my weakling noodle arms

I read something about how non-alcoholic fatty liver is very high in men, could be as much as 40% of the population. With a shot liver from not even drinking, maybe men are experiencing more negative effects from alcohol when they do drink and not drinking as much?

Small sample size though. Maybe women that already have a family and have a late life "oops" pregnancy because their cycle isn't reliable anymore and they already see their family as complete and want to have some time still in their lives for other things.

Um, yeah. Good luck providing any proof that men aren't equally ruled by physical gratification.

I'll wait.

Big uptick in liver disease overall. Likely has to do with a high sugar diet or maybe some kind of chemical that is widespread now.

There's never been a recorded pot dwi fatality, at least not since 2010 when I actually looked at that stuff.


The only thing I'll give pot smokers is that if they're the type to stick with mostly just pot, they're more mellow to be around.

The chatter and smugness is pretty annoying though.

Ecstasy is a pretty awesome social drug, but it's so easily abused and quickly causes depression if used more than a couple times a year.


Haven't spent time around pot smokers since my early 20's, but I recall them driving pretty slow overall and being genuinely a bit paranoid while under the influence.

I haven't looked up any recent stats, but I DO have old university textbooks that outline -and go into detail- on the physiological side effects of pot; possible loss of fine motor control skills, judgement and problem sloving skills decline, reaction time slowed down, short-term memory impairment, etc.... And that's just from memory, common sense and experience.


God forbid you get pulled over, the effects are identical to alcohol impairment- DWI or DWU. So, there will be more violence on the road, when and if states legalize it!!


Is it really that hard to avoid party drugs?? By the time I went to college, I got everything out of my system

I figure there are other ways to cope, for both men and women.

I would reason the real reason people drink alcohol at first is because it's fun and a social thing. But it can easily become addictive and dangerous, or an unhealthy way to "cope" with the pain of life.

No one is being forced to drink, but there are a million ways to rationalize the use of any recreational drug. At first it felt really strange to just not do any smoking or drinking, but after a while I really didn't give a phuck. Feels like avoiding a lot of problems. expenses. and disadvantages that I never needed to have in the first place.

I'd take a 30 year old male driver high and drunk over a 65 year old Asian Canadian woman. Why do they only care about things like reaction time when it comes to substances?

Theyre realizing trying to project on social media is nothing but a projection that makes people value them for nothing but their looks or a warm hole.

Or, when all those 5/10s enter the real world and dont get the same thirsty attention reality sets in that they cant be running around with the attitude they have.

They also weigh as much as men

What a time to be alive!
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

This is not an excuse to get behind the wheel while under the influence.
