Was talking about this yesterday. I used to drink way too much- rum and scotch. For some people, including me, self medicating with alcohol is asinine as once impairment is achieved, binging usually occurs. Then the pain and destruction. In my teens and 20s I was a happy drunk, something went mean at some point and Id turn into a monster. Havent drank in almost a year, had a massive blowup and never ever want to be that person again. I am averse. Have no issues with people drinking, but after the 3rd drink I usually slip away.

My ma is a raging alcoholic in complete denial, its one of the few things in this world that irritates me. Own up to your faults, even if you cant change at this time.

I wonder if people flaunt alcohol addictions because of how accessible it is, maybe with legalization/decriminalization on the horizon people will learn there is much better medicine out there.

agree with the OP 100%, it's a stupid drug backed up by tradition mostly. (edit: it being a huge business also plays an important role I guess)
it doesn't matter how much I drink, makes me feel worse than before.
I haven't drunk in a few years (4 or 5 I think), best decision ever :mushroom2:

I'm so glad I never got addicted to alcohol. I can have one drink a night and not drink for months. I never crave it thankfully. I also can just get a buzz and be OK. I might drink a margarita or 2 tonight, and then go to a party tomorrow night and have 1,2,3, maybe one or 2 more, maybe not. I have seen extreme alcoholics/alcoholism and I am VERY glad it doesn't draw me in like that. Plus as a former bartender I had to give the people drinks that were just soaked in it. It actually hurt me to do it. The last bar I worked at in Florida made me reassess my life and what I was doing and that led me to nursing.
