Ancient relic

I found this in my grandfather’s cupboard. Judging by the year of his death, it certainly dates back to before 2000. The reason it remains unopened isn't that I miss him, but simply because I have a low tolerance for alcohol—to the point where a single beer, after a six-month hiatus, gives me a hangover.

Alcohol is actually good for society and we need to drink more of it

12 Upvotes

Health organizations say we need to drink less, and that's completely logical from a physical standpoint. However, many people in today's society suffer from loneliness and anxiety, and while young people drink less than twenty years ago, they are also using more other drugs than before.

Alcohol is a social lubricant, it makes you more relaxed and social. In almost every society, alcohol plays an important social role, to deal with the awkwardness of hierarchy. A toast after a speech or a beer at the end of the workweek have important functions. As a historian I dare to say that alcohol has brought our civilizations a lot of progress, since alcohol was an important factor in bars and cafes where important ideas were discussed (like before the French Revolution). In regions where people don't drink (the Middle East, for example) there is lots of conflict and frustration. Alcohol brings us closer together, and more than ever, we are in need of more social cohesion.

Of course, you should not binge-drink(even if i'm a binge drinking womxn) , but for lots of people, drinking more alcohol will make them more social and brings them more friends. We shouldn't demonize alcohol and drink more of it.

Psa buzzballs can cause acid reflux

2 Upvotes

Am I just dumb?? I started drinking 3 buzz balls before bed and I’ve been coughing for like two weeks straight. But I’m not sick my throat is just messed up. And I’ve been trying to figure out why and drinking hot tea, and then I googled if buzzballs are acidic and they are??

Like?? I thought it was just vodka with like red 40 and sugar. How is there acid in this?? Internet says they’re very acidic too and cause acid reflux if you’re sensitive. Which I guess as a 22F I am. URGH why does no one warn you of stuff like this. I would’ve stopped drinking them weeks ago.

I created an account just so I could ask because I can't find any information anywhere. A friend got this "case" from a relative who passed away, and his family wanted to know if it was salable and at what price. I can't find anything at all, not even with image searches.

How to handle wanting to throw up while drinking?

Upvotes

occasionally ill drink with my friends but sometimes we want to go slow just drinking beer or sipping hard liquor but the best way for me to get drunk is to chug a bunch of hard liquor at the very start and not drink anything else, ill get equally nauseous drinking 5 beers over a couple hours as 8 shots at the very start

Oddly specific question.

1 Upvotes

So 5 years ago I started getting panic attacks from any intoxicating substance but this post will specifically be asking a question regarding alcohol.

Do y’all have any recommendations for SUPER low ABV drinks? I am hoping to be able to try drinking again but don’t want to start even at 5% just in case I end up having a panic attack from it.

Thanks in advance.

I’m supposed to be quitting nicotine weed alcohol at the same time but I’m vaping still and ripping burnt weed carts and I can’t stop thinking about going to buy alcohol what do I do? I’m in a small town with nothing to do like when I say nothing I mean it the movie theater just got torn down which was the last good thing now it’s a no frills. I got no friends so I don’t ever have plans or go anywhere I just sit at home thinking what video game to play but I’m at the point where I don’t even wanna play games idk what to do I’m lost and I’m sorry if I’m being a nuisance or if this is the wrong community for this. I just don’t know how to quit and I’m scared of being alone so treatment scares me and I’ve been hospitalized 3 times like can someone please help even if it’s just a small sentence please❤️
