Except most of us have already claimed that these vices we have are just as bad and I even admitted to it being a problem. It just feels like you're trying to make it be okay that you drink because everyone else has a habit. I mean...some habits are worse than others and I won't say which is worse because its definitely based on the person and the problem. <cite>dameon_reaper posted [p:948791749] in "I ca...

I drink a glass of wine every now and then or some soju or sake but drinking everyday with a whole schedule attached. Does that sound casual? Casual is like "You know what? I should drink a little tonight. I'm in the mood. Not. Oh its 12, time for my medicine." Okay for me, I can fit 300-400 pleasure calories in to my diet to fit my macros. Why waste them on a cookie, brownie, or small piece of cake when I can have alcohol. Those aren't even enough to get drunk either lol. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdR2Iktffaw The day Capitalism was humiliated :) <cite>JBaLLEN66 posted [p:948791787] in "I ca...

Like it's bad when casual dinner plans are ruined because you got too drunk off fireball at 5pm.

Why waste them on a cookie, brownie, or small piece of cake when I can have alcohol. Those aren't even enough to get drunk either lol. Because I never felt that getting drunk meant you have the issue. Its reliance on the drinking, really. Why drink at all? For its taste? Eh. To feel good? Yeah, that's definitely it. If you're drinking a lot, you're likely becoming heavily reliant on it. I only like to get a buzz every now and then to unwind but I refuse to do it on day to day basis. <cite>dameon_reaper posted [p:948791887] in "I ca...

I'm not talking about loss of function due to being constantly intoxicated, I'm talking about eventual loss of function due to hepatic encephalopaty once liver damage starts ramping up. You do know that in very general terms, it's similar to Alzheimer's yes?And it has nothing to do with how waster or sober you are on your daily life. I'm aware.

K181 12/26/20 10:13:27 PM #74:	tote_all posted... Does your routine check up include an abdominal ultrasound? It doesn't have to be happening now for it to be a problem. Cognitive or physical decline is an end-stage symptom of liver disease. I'd be lying if I said it did, but I have had some pretty intensive check ups over the years especially from a particularly bad concussion I suffered when I was a boxer, especially with life insurance attached to it. And with how much I do drink, if I was having liver or kidney or abdominal issues, I'd know pretty quickly. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. <cite>K181 posted [p:948792450] in "I ca...
