You, not others. You, who is but one single data point in a vast sea of data points.
- hellisothers 4y agoMany of the comments here are making universal claims “for our species”, pointing out this isn’t the case “for me” is a reasonable refutation that doesn’t require belaboring the point that it is for the person.
- jjulius 4y agoThe original piece that this entire thread is about links to multiple studies that support it's claims. OP's comment just says, "Well, I don't experience this, so I call BS". Sure, you don't, and that's fine (I'm happy that them and others in this thread have different experiences - good for them!), but that doesn't mean that we, nor even yourself, should immediately dismiss it entirely.

- jjulius 4y agoI'm an alcoholic, but thanks. Care to eschew your sarcasm and have a discussion about why we should use how OP's body responds to alcohol as the primary reason to cast this entire article (that came with cited studies) as "bullshit"? Because that's all my point was.
