Those are really nice, although quiet af

Same as in Austria I guess

1:1 to Swiss, ya I've visited.

I love it here, I like the quiet

NY would probably destroy my soul

We also have people here that get "addicted" to weed...My argument is they really just need more shit to fill their time with.

idk, maybe

I believe everyone is addicted to something, we just hop from one drug to the other

There's a key difference between substance abuse and behavioral addiction though

It's either weed, or alcohol, my time in America resembles similar stories of native Americans that are easily alcoholics there.

Well

I mean what is an addiction, that has been redefined a few times

Food is not considered an addiction even though we have to eat at least once a day

Weed would be labeled an addiction instantly if we smoked once a day

Exactly, the nuance in where we set the goal posts is important.

Some say it's whether you can handle your life, if it doesn't disrupt it

Like your dreams and goals, your health, etc.

I was told by someone "simply having a beer alone makes you an alcoholic" I just had no clue how to respond to that, haha

Yeah that's dumb

Drinking and being a drunk, big difference

In fact some alcohol can boost certain performances

Creativity goes up, efficiency goes up, precision goes down

Good for writers if they take it in small doses

*creative* writers ofc

If I'm alone, I know my day is done, but I still have some energy to do something, maybe some art, but I want just a little mental lube, damn straight I'm opening that bottle of red wine.

That's why I can't say anything about DMT

I think Joe Rogan may have a point, I have no clue

I certainly wouldn't just claim outright DMT bad

Well, I don't drink alcohol often anymore, but if I had to be creative I think I might have it a bit more

I have to be precise, so it's a no-go for me

And also I need by emotions to be low at all times during work

Alcohol doesn't help that lul

Man, these dudes in Switzerland will finish a bottle of vodka, go drink beers at a club, then still drive home.

But they are SUPER bored guys, good, simple guys, but bored out of their minds.

I mean

Alcohol has a tipping point

If you drink a little bit, only your precision goes down a bit, your reflexes may actually go up and compensate for your imprecision, but if you drink a lot, both goes down hard

That's why there's an alcohol limit for driving

You can actually have a sip of wine, that's not criminal (unless your body overreacts)

Naah, I will down two bottles of red wine, then take the train to the nearest city, chill out with my buddies, and still let my internal clock kick in on time to go home on the last train.

But I am Swiss, we have clocks also in our brains
