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

<:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

A country known for clocks, it can't get much nerdier

The way I see it, it's like this

Problem-drinkers, or generally strongly addicted people, they cause a bad rep to the moderate ones

Same as with guns

Yes yes, one person can ruin it for all

The most important thing that needs changing is that prison time for drug possession should be lowered wayyyyyy down

We are relaxed here on this, Austria is not?

Or turned up to life. Including alcohol. No mercy <:merkle:565254688711376907>

Austria is pretty relaxed yeah. Even the police don't care much if a kid smoked weed. I was a walking stereotype and when I got questioned once after they blew up a drug ring the officer went so easy on me I felt like he wasn't a real officer

Is that a pro consumption statement or a "you can get higher sober than with drugs" statement?

That was when I was around 14 or 15, and I imagine if I had been in the US, this could've ruined my life

Not saying it would've, but there's a chance

In Austria you get helped for having drug problems, not put behind bars

Yes, I smoked weed in the 90's in the states, know it was super illegal did not help the paranoia symptoms.

Bad times yep
