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?
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 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.
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.
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.

Oh my god it’s a poison, how dare you like the taste?!?
*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
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.
Getting bevved is the cause of and solution to all of life’s problems.
“Did you ever, under the influence of alcohol, question the teachings of the Mormon church?”
Lmao where is this from it sounds hilarious
The office, Meredith’s intervention. Moroccan Christmas episode 😁
This is so real and is why I stopped drinking. It’s like uhhhh I can be apathetic without the expensive pisswater
That’s why I drank cheap piss water when I drank!
Ahh… there’s no such thing as cheap piss water in my country
Down with alcoholism!
I’ll drink to that.
I’m also down with alcoholism
Uh oh, they’re becoming self-aware…
Quickly, arrange a social gathering! That way they have to drink.
Some drink to remember, some drink to forget.
Especially after the Euro 2024.Yeah this realisation came about at the time I realised beer was taking more than it was giving, even when I wasn’t getting buzzed.
Now I’m in this picture, but with like hibiscus vs camomille tea rofl
Chamomile tea is great.
I would’ve figured you to favour the Earl tbh
Unironically, earl grey is my favorite, but I limit my caffeinated tea to mornings and afternoons.
Chamomile or Sleepytime tea is for the evenings.
I should drink more Earl Grey. As far as caffeinated teas I pretty just go from English Breakfast in the morning, to green tea in the afternoon.
Earl Grey seems like a “fancy” tea, outside the somehow. Like if I’m making Earl Grey, I should be making it into a London Fog or something.
Nice talkin tea with you haha
Anytime. And I’d never heard of a London Fog before now… Going to have to make that sometime!
I’m in this photo and I don’t like it
CONSUME
I believe it was Napoleon who said of champagne, “In victory, you deserve it; in defeat, you need it.”
Why you got to @ me like that bro?
Beer is delicious, but because it’s not good for us we need excuses to drink it.
If you’re wondering if I’m monologuing, have a personality disorder, or speaking to society as a whole, the answer is yes
Cows drink beer?
This one does
I’m down with that. Go cow!
