Of course ethanol is toxic, but our body is well equipped to process alcohol in small quantities. Also, no one here said that they drink alcohol to relax. I do it because I appreciate tasting good beer/wine, I never ever get drunk. Beer and wine have a history as long as humanity, being chanted by poets and bards, no wonder they have been proven to have lots of science-proven virtues and benefic effects if they are good. Also, do some research, caffeine and tea can be bad too - the occasional glass of wine is like the occasional coffee cup. Everything can be good or bad.
Me too. Although I hardly coffee too. My Grandfather was an alcoholic so my Mother discouraged us from drinking. I've decided to carry on being teetotal as an adult.
Alcohol is the perfect mind control tool.. It fkin kills brain cells. They always show it in the movies.. It's so manly to drink poison (alcohol) and put smoke (cigarettes)in your chest (sarcasm)
I'll drink red wine, usually blends. I also loooooove craft cocktails. Unfortunately it's a very expensive habit--$10-12 for a single drink at a bar, or $95 for the various bottles of niche liquors if I want to learn to make something myself at home. Nothing like buying that $30 bottle of chocolate coconut vodka just so you can make one drink.
Beers - micro pale ales and india pale ales. I especially like the Stone beers or the Deschutes fresh squeezed. Or the North Coast beers. Medium grade cognac or whiskey - scotch, irish, or bourbon. I also like the occasional port or sweet liquor, like grand marnier or chartreuse. (Yes I'll drink grand marnier straight)
Unfortunately can't contribute to this because I don't drink alcohol. I live more of a Straight Edge lifestyle. I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, etc.
Hey. I don't drink alcohol. I drink beer. Yes, alcohol, is a plague, but this is a society issue, not an issue of the substance itself.
That title is misleading. He's saying Alcohol is the most harmful to society simply because more people use it. By that criteria junk food is more harmful than heroine. He also says weed is more harmful than ecstasy. I average about 7 drinks a week (1 beer or 1.5 oz liquor), and with this consumption I do very little harm to anyone. The problem is alcoholism.
lmao what's with all the alcohol haters crawling up from the sewers does anyone have any good hard liquor suggestions? I live in a super small town with no liquor store (walmart and safeway is pretty much what we're looking at here) and I'm sick of makers mark
Isn't it better than staying in the sewers? Spoiler Many people can drink in moderation without it causing any major problems. But personally, I'm better off without it.
