When Justice Kavanaugh had his senate hearing before he was confirmed for the Supreme Court and he was accused of being a frat boy rapist he defended himself by going on about how much he likes beer. One senator asked him if he ever drank so much he didn’t remember what happened and he replied with “HAVE YOU?!!!”
I was in this picture. One or two, maybe even three tall ones every evening, for years. And then I discovered untappd and drinking became gamified.
A beer while watching TV can’t be alcoholism, right?
For a while I’d been noticing things like a lack of energy and interest, bad sleep, being irritable and impulsive, and bad memory. After a while I had to take magnesium and other supplements. I just considered it all side effects of aging.
Now I’ve switched to alcohol free beer since about 2 months and every day I’m surprised how much better the QOL already is. I feel fully rested, feel more confident at work, can remember stuff my kids talk about. For lack of a word, I feel more present.
And that experience completely changed my opinion about drinking alcohol regularly.
Depends on the weed and the person (quite a few variables). Also if you have schizophrenia, you definitely do NOT want to ingest anything that interacts with the mind, not even alcohol.
Sounds a lot like alcoholism.
Could just like beer, you know
Supreme Court candidate material
I don’t get the reference. Do they like beer?

I can’t fault him for liking beer. It is damn good. The other shit though…
Justice Boof loves beer.
Maybe, but this is pretty common. Getting a drink to celebrate a good day, vs getting a drink after a bad day because you deserve it.
If either outcome leads to alcohol, that’s problematic.
not necessarily.
Nah if you can drink one beer and be done you’re not an alcoholic.
If you’re getting shitfaced every night that’s a different story.
If you need to have a beer every night that sounds a lot like dependency.
Yeah but those are different things.
An alcoholic isn’t gonna stop at just one.
And coming from an alcoholic I’d definitely prefer just drinking one per night.
Both are bad but one of them isn’t gonna threaten your livelihood/life/personal relationships as much as the other.
EVERY alcoholic starts out stopping at one or two. I started out just having 1-2 after work.

There’s always a choice not to drink.
i rarely choose not to drink, but i often forget to drink.
Came in to say this… just making an excuse whether positive or negative to drink alcohol.

*Rips bong, not realising the mental health problems it’ll cause them later in life
How does weed cause mental health problems? It does for some but some people smoke their whole life without problems
