    The amount of alcoholics in comment sections like this is crazy.

    Half of the people are basically saying “I’d rather die that stop alcohol”, the other half tries to cope by saying that all of these things about the dangers of alcohol are either false or exaggerated.

    Even the crazy meat lovers are not that extreme.

      You rang? We don’t love meat - we love being healthy.

      There are many parallels between the addiction of alcohol and carbohydrates, we are very sympathetic to anyone who struggles with addiction.

      This isn’t surprising given how rooted alcohol is in our culture. A social lubricant they often call it. I think peer pressure was the hardest thing I had to deal with when I quit.

      Are you referring to the comments ITT or the comments on the linked post? I read through all of the comments here and only saw one or two comments that seemed to line up with your implications.

      Crazy meat lovers most certainly are that extreme. Addicts are at least a bit more likely to admit they have a problem.
