The sad one is the one thinking alcoholism is fun and that “cool stories” are a measurement of the enjoyment of life.

When you love your life so much that you need to destroy your brain until you start having “fun” and that your stories are all based on the stupid behaviours it induced, what you need is not alcohol but psychiatric help.

Haha I always find it hilarious how defensive and high and mighty people get about not drinking.

Fun comes with risk. But where older people went out and socialised with people are now just doom scrolling social media. There is a brain health cost to most things. Humans are built for socialising and most cultures are built with alcohol being a big part of that.

your stories are all based on the stupid behaviours it induced

Haha yea. Good times.

what you need is not alcohol but psychiatric help.

How does that create fun stories?

Fun does not come with risk, where did you get that from?

This “oversocialization” of fun is really a sad thing in our current society where people feel like fun is getting drunk and going to the club and nothing else. Fun can be a good book, a puzzle, painting, going on a walk, watching a movie. The reason people love alcohol that much is not for fun but because it destroys their brain and prevents them from thinking, especially about risks. That’s how the stupid “fun stories” come from, from people doing stupid things but being too drunk to understand it. Creepy dude giving you a drink with powder at the bottom? Eh, too drunk to see a problem. Halfway into a drunken coma and wanting to drive? No problem.

Also, doom scrolling social media is a thing that people do to try to continue “socializing” because they are unable to do anything else.

And also, I would add that comparing with “old times” is absurd considering how times change. I do hope that we can have higher standards than the previous generations.

So the psychiatric help is not here to create fun stories but to allow you to learn how to have healthy ones. Not everything needs to be immediately “fun”.

While reading or a puzzle, painting, watching a movie can be fun. The fact thats your idea if fun seems a little sad. Going for a walk comes with risk.

You’re just completely on about things that aren’t about having fun while drinking so thats a completely worthless comment.

And also, I would add that comparing with “old times” is absurd considering how times change. I do hope that we can have higher standards than the previous generations.

Haha again what another worthless comment. “Comparing things is absurd.” Jesus. I don’t see how you think that is a smart thing to say.

Times change yes. They can change for the better or for the worse. Comparing things is a good thing. The future is not fixed it can change in many many different ways.

I feel like you are just making different arguments. Other things other than drinking can be fun. But losing a good thing is bad. Gaining a bad thing is bad.

People read books in the past they still do now, provably less actually. But that’s irrelevant to drinking.

Love how you’re downvoted so much for this. The internet is so funny sometimes. You need psychiatric help because you like getting drunk. Could you imagine the response if you said that to somebody in the real world?

I’ve had countless great times and made some great friends getting shitfaced. According to Lemmy I’d be much healthier sitting in my bedroom reading stories about Donald Trump and getting angry about car based infrastructure.
