First let us define Binge drinking:

But what is excessive drinking? There are two types:
  1. Heavy Drinking: For men under age 65, heavy drinking means having two drinks a day, or more than 14 drinks in a week. For women and men over age 65, heavy drinking is more than one drink a day, or more than seven drinks in a week.
  2. Binge Drinking: Binge drinking refers to consuming a large amount of alcohol at one time. For men, its defined as five or more drinks within 2 hours. For women, its four or more drinks in that same time frame.


I would say, you could easily fit into this subgroup:

Young Adult Subtype
Individuals in the young adult subtype make up 31% of people addicted to alcohol in the U.S. They drink less frequently than the other subtypes, but when they do drink, theyre likely to overdo it and binge. They typically come from families with low rates of alcoholism.

Maybe I could be like a Door Dash Driver, and suggest that unless they tip 5%, I'll evict them.
If they don't want to tip their landlord, they can buy their own house.

All of Reddit is just trolls trolling trolls.
Like legitimately r/antiwork where he's crying about losing both his parents to a motor vehicle accident, his little sister is the only survivor, and is in the hospital with her.
He seemingly has his mobile phone on when the Manager phones and says unless he makes this shift he's lost his job, and when he explains the whole thing, his manager just ignores it and says he still better come in.
He says he can't leave because he has no savings, and is living paycheck to paycheck, and doesn't know how he's going to afford to look after his sister, and when he asks his manager for extra shifts he's like "NO! You're Part-time, and you'll take the 16 hours a week only!".

The amount you sweat is dependent on genetics.
For example Koreans, only like 0.006% suffer from underarm smell: https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/world/2016/05/182_205177.html

Sweat is why most itch - which is why if you're mocking people who have to do it, you're basically mocking someone who is differently abled to yourself.
So, I'd refrain from doing so.

In regards to the term "Brainwashing", please see this:
"There has been until now a lack of any convincing scientific evidence which can be applied in a generalised form to show that involvement in a New Religious Movement has any destructive consequences for the psyche of the individual concerned. ... The fact that, in all the ensuing years, no one has succeeded in verifying beyond reasonable doubt any of these claims, has however, never been regarded as a reason to exonerate the groups in any way. ... Thus, up to the time of writing, there has not been one single successful, legal conviction of the Scientology Church, even though this group has come to be regarded as the most dangerous of the new religious organisations. ... The fact that even long-term investigations have as yet failed to produce the desired results continues to be ignored." -- Frank Usarski (New Religious Movements: Challenge and Response)

uh oh.

my dog gets regular milk in a small amount every day, doesn't get the s***s either.

Lactose intolerance is very, very, very common in animals. Humans are pretty unique, and that's only Western countries where 70%~90% of the population have lactose tolerance. Cats, like almost all mammals are lactose intolerant. Dogs, a bit less so (They've been with us and share what we eat since time immemorial). However, even if your dog is lactose intolerant, it will require a lot more milk than a cat to experience the symptoms, since it's probably bigger -- also:
Ishpreet Gill, DVM, with Fletcher's Creek Animal Hospital, says that "although both dogs and cats can be lactose intolerant, cats are more likely to experience problems" ( https://www.petmd.com/cat/conditions/digestive/truth-about-dairy-products-and-pets )

They instinctively don't trust sitting water. That's why they slap it with their paw, they want to see it moves. It's also why they go apeshit over sink water.

They can smell the chlorine, as well, and the soap or whatever you clean the bowl with. They much prefer puddle water, which smells sweeter.
If you have some way to store rainwater, cats will drink that fine.

In a word, no. It is not safe.

In 2020, they did a Tox report on Almond milk in the UK, and found the following:

"Eleven drinks containing raw vegetables and fruit, flax seeds, whole apples with seeds, raw almond drink and pasteurised almond drink were analysed for total cyanide. Total cyanide levels of 9.6, 41,134 and 272 g/L were detected in smoothies containing almond drink."

https://cot.food.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2020-08/TOX-2020-16%20Almond%20drinks%20first%20draft.doc_accesibleinadobepro_tobeuploaded.pdf

Obviously, as we all know: "Finally, long-term consumption of cyanide-containing foods, such as cassava root or apricot seeds, may lead to cyanide poisoning. [even in humans!]" (https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/814287-overview)

Now, bearing that in mind -- think about how it could build up in your cats system a lot faster than humans, whereas they're relatively mild dosages for humans and it would take drinking a lot of the stuff to poison us, the same is not true for cats. They're a lot smaller.
