There have been times in my life when I felt I had an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. For me, it's the hazard of "n beers feels great, so n+1 must feel better", culminating in a worse hangover than necessary.
But when I read about the experience of what I might think of as true alcoholics, it puts in perspective how powerful that disease is. It's incomprehensible to me to drink straight through immediately apparent negative consequences.
- FPGAhacker 8y agoThe n+1 problem stems from the issue that the euphoria from alcohol is strongest while bac is rising. When it’s static, there isn’t much euphoric effect. The euphoria is mitigated by actual drunkenness, so the best euphoria is while absorbing the first beer, less with each one. But once the absorption of a beer is complete, you just have the remainder effects of alcohol without the euphoria.
