Also liver damage has got to be one of the worst lived experiences that exists. And alcohol seems to slowly accumulate that damage over time. After seeing the end state with my grandparents and experiencing the end state with a viral infection I decided that alcohol just isn't worth it. It's not that good of an experience compared to alternatives to justify that awfulness.
- myvoiceismypass 1y agoWhat sorts of alternatives are you comparing to, if I might ask? (I personally find cannabis very different than alcohol in lots of ways)
- Spivak 1y agoSo you're right, cannabis seems to produce a "drunk" effect in some people but I've never had it. Not the kind of thing I would take if I wanted to party. MDMA in my opinion produces "happy-lovey-drunk+" and it seems from friends it produces that effect even for people who are sad drunks. It does come with a crash but it's about the same as a hangover. And ice cold water tastes amazing rather than having to force it down. Ketamine (at low doses, too much and you'll stare off into space) also produces a drunk like effect. You'll feel euphoric, blurry vision, loss of motor control. It feels tipsy-ish. The biggest pro is that there's no crash, your high just kinda ends.
- timr 1y agoDon't misunderstand me: I enjoy a drink now and again, but it's obviously silly to be obsessing about PFAS in beer when the alcohol is the definitive risk to your health, with a double underscore. That said, as long as you aren't consuming regularly in excess, even the alcohol isn't going to affect your lifespan. It just goes to illustrate the relative levels of absurdity involved here.
