Let me begin by saying, I drink very rarely; few times a year.

When I drink, i get the feeling that my brain in running on powersaving mode; only the most basic functions are operational. It’s a fun feeling when I’m drinking, but I can’t imagine doing that regularly.

I’m not sure if this constitutes as bragging but I am proud of the fact that I can recall information quite well, and any activity which hinders this is not to my liking. The hangover is also bad, where the brain is slow for the next entire day.

I want to know the community thinks about drinking and how it effects/doesn’t affects their work and life and how they get around it. Any alternatives and tips?

    Im 37 and drink nearly daily since Trump returned to office. Its my insurance policy to not stay alive that long since people in my family live to late 80s.

    I can’t wait to take my eternal dirt nap and I hate the societal structure we’ve built.

    But Ill say if your drinking results in causing pain to others, that is not okay. There has to be a stopping point so you don’t black out and cant recall what youve said or done.
