@TwoDoorPunkCab I heard moderate drinking has health benefits tho
---

that's news to me

*dukes up*

1 glass of wine a night is what I've heard is the healthy amount.

Aite. I'm doing dat wine shit
---

Women:
1 or 2 drinks per day, not exceeding 7 drinks per week

Men:
2 to 4 drinks per day, not exceeding 14 drinks per week

a drink = a beer, a shot of liquor, or a 5 oz glass of wine.

When I was going to try to drink within the parameters of what is considered "moderate drinking," I planned to have 4 drinks every other day. That way I could maximize my buzz when I drank. But turns out I don't have enough self control and ended up drinking half my 750mL bottle of 101 proof liquor, or more in a day. So that bottle that should have lasted me two weeks only lasted less than two days.

Yes, I'm an actual alcoholic. Even if I go two months without drinking, the first time I drink after that I will still binge HARD.

I don't binge, but I'm so mentally exhausted and stressed out that I just need a light buzz 5 nights out of the week to keep my sanity. God forbid, I enjoy some wine or whiskey while watching game of thrones the night before I go thru hell tomorrow.

If you don't drink normally, 4 light beers will have you feeling great. That amount was my first buzz at a social setting, and I'd say it was the perfect amount. Actually now that I think on it, I drank 2 more after those 4, but that kind of made me sloppy in a bad way. If I had just stuck with those first 4, it would have been the perfect buzz for a party.

That's what I've always heard, but at my annual physical assessment a couple months ago the doctor told me that they're starting to recommend just zero drinks now.

Coffee is good though!

But hey, I want to share how drinking socially made me better at socializing while sober.

When you're drunk, you pretty much say whatever you want, because you don't care what anybody thinks. Since I was a shy guy who never spoke my mind out of fear of people thinking I was lame/stupid, being drunk and not giving a damn taught me that people like hearing what I have to say more than I realized. So the summer of 2015, getting drunk with friends every night taught me that people like hearing what I have to say, and I applied this confidence to sober situations as well, and I'm eternally grateful for the experience that taught me that.

And you do not need to drink to be social.

True for some. Wasn't true for me until post 2015, since drinking socially was what taught me how to socialize in the first place, as I described above.
