I don’t. Though I enjoy Christmas becuase people buy me good scotch

And Im not relegated to squeeze bottle whiskey

I fully admit it seems like a lot

Like when the handle is empty Im like damn i just bought this a week ago

But hot damn I love drinking

I can't tell if the people questioning you just don't drink at all or just really want to know more about your drinking in general.

Its probably a mix of concern and curiosity

Of course any normal person like me would look in the mirror and say ‘is this a problem?’

For me, I come from a family of addicts. Who had that same way of thinking before things got bad.

And it doesn’t seem to be, based on all I said above. It seems to be something I can control and have controlled for a decade

And I know not everyone is the same, but bells still go off

Okay so related - I got a beer advent calendar on 12/1 for early Xmas

All European beer

a diff one each day

been fuckin awesome

It came from Aldi

Hmm that sounds kinda cool!

@JetPuffed Doesn't exist

@Katie_May i have a few drunks in my family as well. Like I said you’d have to be crazy not to self examine. Let me ask you this what would indicate out of control drinking vs. heavy drinking in control

Heavy drinking of liquor has been proven 3 nothing more than a health benefit

Oh I thought you meant the page I linked lol. Was gonna say - def exists.

But yeah, you are delusional if you think that.

There's zero correlation between drinking a handle of brown liquor everyday and organ damage

Well yeah, it's all about moderation obviously.

It's all a doctoral conspiracy to sell more liver medication for big Pharma

Oooooh yesss. I love conspiracy theories.

Flat Earth? CHem trails? Keep 'em comin

I sometimes hang out on the Flat Earth Society's message boards. AMazing stuff

@The Bitter Draught it has to do with the dependency on it. Like if you need those beers after work. If you need that buzz every night.

So I tested that

I need it to get up in the morning.

jk

I went 2 months without a drop and no apparent issues or cravings

I seem to just love drinking

Is it hard liquor or beer?

Hard cheap liquor

mostly

Real Talk, drinking is horrible for you long-term, especially after 35 or so

Liquor especially

I definitely like being drunk more than just enjoying the taste

Yeah, it is. I didn't drink most of this year, but beer advent calendar happened, so yeah. The gym has been hit hard.
