Edit: I have no malice, hatred, or egotistical judgment to drinkers. I understand everyone is different in how their brain chemistry reacts to different drugs. Just read the text and not just title please for the love of God

Edit: Unbeknownst to me this same post has been made a bagillion times. I understand this isn’t some grand discovery I’m just ranting.

True alcohol addiction is deadly. Trying to go cold turkey off of it is deadly, and staying on it is a slow death.

I only consume alcohol if I’m at a party or social event where everyone else is drinking, and afterwards my sleep is awful, I’m severely dehydrated, my focus the next day is poor, terrible ability to retain information I learned the previous day, and so forth.

Also, the only time alcohol is actually enjoyable is in the moment and if I’ve drank enough to experience the side effects I listed, so not all that easy to moderate. Especially with the culture of drinking fast and hard.

But it is very fun for those few hours I will not deny.

The part that pisses me off is the judgmental stares and looks of shock on people’s faces if I mention drugs like LSD, mushrooms, ketamine, 2cb, etc. When the truth is these substances are going to do less damage and maybe even benefit when you do them smartly.

Needed this rant because I got told by some stupid college chick that I’m killing myself by taking my PRESCRIBED sleep pills and ADHD (no it’s not benzos but even if it was, strictly monitored benzo use is better than regular alcohol drinking from a health standpoint)

Alcohol isn’t the devil, but it’s not ‘the perfectly normal and safe substance with minimal risks’ that all these normies claim it to be.
