Small amounts of alcohol can definitely have an effect. It’s all dependent on tolerance and body weight. And even a BAC of 0.04, which can be achieved by having a couple of beers in an hour, can have effects as slight as they are.
Yes, I’ve been hammered and have also had a couple of drinks. The difference is massive. That doesn’t mean that there is no intoxication at all with having a couple drinks.
The health benefits of a couple drinks a day is exaggerated and unclear. Certainly not to a point that justifies drinking.
You can say anything you want, it does not make it true. Not everyone smokes pot until they are seriously high. And it doesn’t render everyone “stupider.”
“Not everyone smokes pot until they are seriously high”
I said most everyone. And there is no other reason to smoke it. Well, I guess there are some medicinal uses, but that is not what we are discussing.
