Bacon won in Nebraska 2. Does binge drinking matter?

We have built a very unhappy society. Women are especially unhappy. That “strong and independent” stuff hasn’t worked out at all well for them.

She should have gone to rehab.

Sad, but alcohol is considered a drug and is addictive. Used in moderation one can likely live a long time. But I’ve known two that had issues. One died from a binge. Another turned himself into a vegetable and wound up in a nursing home while in his early 30’s. My uncle wound up in an early grave due to heavy drinking, I think his liver couldn’t take it.

I personally do not do any of it, booze or drugs or tobacco.

All the toys I’ve bought from the savings are more fun than hangovers, frying my brain or croaking off early.

Women don’t drink as much as men-non factor. They know how easy it is to get in trouble.

“We have built a very unhappy society.”

And that’s thanks to our rat friends re-engineering our culture.

She was a great musician. Gone too soon.

Best to just split with your narcissistic personality disordered partner and be stone cold sober ...take up hang gliding maybe, write a novel, build a cathedral out of used playground equipment. You’ll figure it out and it will be immensely rewarding and you’ll leave a legacy for yourself.

Our world has gone into the crapper. People are drinking more to try to escape, or at least deaden the pain of life.

That’s also why many people are turning to marijuana.

Genetics do play a part and can lead to susceptibility. One uncle used to drink whiskey all day until his 70s and then toned it down to just evenings. He was robbed of his youth at 94. I used to always see another uncle with a Strohs in his hand. He died at the tender age of 96.

Alcohol is clearly a gateway drug

But she was killed because she refused to let the cabal “mould me into a big triangle shape.”

lets be honest....all these drunks most likely have other drugs on board, making them seem even more out of it.....weed is insidious...

Europeans in general drink a whole lot more that any other place on Earth. Especially in the former Warsaw Pact Countries.

Where I would stay on summer holiday over there you’d be woken up to people being loud and drunken...because the bars opened at 5 am so they could get an early start on drinking.

They say some people cannot even function until they’ve had a drink.
