I stopped drinking alcohol some years ago. Before that I hardly consumed any alcohol at all for many years, but in my college years and maybe some years after that, I drank socially like “everybody else”. But I gradually kind of got tired of dealing with the bad feelings (physical and emotional), so I drank less and less.
And maybe because I drank less and less, even one beer often just made me feel kind of bad, so then I just stopped altogether. Anyway, I’m curious if this has happened to anyone else? And how do you go by it socially? What do you order at a bar? Maybe I’m a little afraid to go to places that has an “alcohol culture”, even if there are some places I would like to go. I don’t want to drink, but at the same time I don’t want to appear weird about it either.
Any adult pushing you to drink alkohol is weird (when not yet drank any, I shall prepend).
The coolest thing to do is your own thing. So just pass with a smirk and tell them right out:
I don’t need a drink to think you are fun!
Wasn’t a huge drinker, maybe like 1 beer a night at home. I lost my appetite for it once I started hitting the gym regularly. Just didn’t get the craving for it like I used too. Will still occasionally drink socially.
One beer every Friday night. A glass of wine if it is offered to me at a wedding or something.
Cannabis is so much better. Just about every sat afternoon.
I have never really enjoyed alcohol. If I’m at a social event and someone hands me a beer I’ll drink it. Or, if I’m in 500 year old pub in London I’ll order one. But the last beer I brought home my wife cooked with after it sat in the fridge for months. And I have never let myself get drunk.
The safe toxic limit of alcohol is half a glass of wine per year.
Alcohol is implicated in 50% of reported sexual assaults.
Alcohol is a leading causal factor of vandalism, violence and death.
There is no lethal dose of LSD.
LSD is known to be therapeutic for people suffering from PTSD, OCD, anxiety and treatment resistant depression.
LSD is known to produce effects similar to meditation and bring people closer to their environment.
Which one of these drugs is banned in most jurisdictions?
