I'm not American, but in my last job as engineer the whole 'culture' was evolved around alcohol and basically glorifying it. Since we would travel to some places for work reasons, we stayed in the same place and everything they'd do in their free time was to drink and keep drinking

I'm not sober, but I sometimes go many weeks without drinking now, and only really do it if I've planned a fun night out with friends. The older I've gotten, the more it shocks me how many people cannot function in social settings or even just at home without alcohol alongside dinner. Tbh I'm sick of going to events on a weeknight and having someone inevitably imply or ask if I'm "sober" like I'm an ex-alcoholic when I only ask for water. Sorry I prioritize my health and my body, making it to the gym later etc. It's honestly amazing how if you don't drink, some people will assume you're a recovering alcoholic or something. It's happened a couple of times I've gone out for work related stuff. 1
Walk_Away21 Posted April 27 Posted April 27 70?!?! There's no way. That's like 3.5 per day. The human body really is resilient Not just your liver, but the stomach has to be wrecked. 1

fauxtography Posted April 27 Posted April 27 70 drinks, I don't believe it i drink like one or two times a month and I can't get past three cocktails without feeling gross. I'm not a beer person either and will only drink wine if at a work event or something. back when I was in my early 20s tho is a different story

But drinking is just not a necessity for me period. I could go the rest of my life without a single drink and not think twice about it.
OnikaSlays Posted April 27 Posted April 27 I can't imagine drinking that much alcohol in a week. I'll have a couple beers or seltzers throughout the week, and maybe drink some more if I go out. 70 is a bit ridiculous though.

Most alcoholics/addicts use substances to stop feeling certain emotions or start feeling something else.
Orsay Posted April 27 Posted April 27 If i'm being honest I drink too much but I don't think i've ever had SEVENTY in a week like wtf and to average that?? Idk that stat seems a little crazy, maybe thats like the top 2% of drinkers

Dialamba Posted April 27 Posted April 27 A girl said her boss wouldn't hire if she knew the girl wasn't drinking
Daddy Posted April 27 Posted April 27 I'm so happy I have ZERO desire to drink any alcohol. I do smoke weed regularly tho so that's my vice.
