I Can’t Drink Now Like I Used to a Few Years Ago (26M), is that Normal?
During college and a few years after (maybe til 23/24) I drank almost weekly and don’t get drunk that easily. In terms of beers, maybe I get tipsy at about 6 and give up at 10.
But now, I drink 2 and I get tipsy, and maybe tap out at 4/5.
Is that normal?
No, that’s not even a scary amount. 4-5 drinks is just the first 2-3 hours of a Sunday BBQ.
That’s literally like a heroin user bragging abt how much heroin they do but this isn’t seen as harmful for some reason
It’s literally not. Yes, any amount of alcohol has health effects, but equating a half-dozen beers with heroin is total lunacy. It’s absolutely nowhere near as harmful as literally heroin.
Alcohol is more harmful than heroin whenever social damage is included
Youre getting downvote but I’m not sure you are wrong… Alcoholics are far more likely to hurt or abuse another person than a heroin user, where usually the worst a heroin user will do is steal for money to afford heroin. Heroin users mostly abuse themselves. Alcoholics abuse themselves and those close to them.
Source: now sober alcoholic who also dabbled in opiates for a year. 8 years sober this March.
Yep, exactly. They’ve done actual studies on it. I wouldn’t state a point so surely unless I was actually sure of it.
I think a lot of people just don’t want to confront the truths about the harm of alcohol. Easier to downvote and ignore lol. I’m glad I quit drinking, it almost killed me I was in an awful place and alcohol only made it worse. Thankfully weed is super legal where I live now so I can unwind with that, a far less harmful substance.
I don’t even drink anymore. The amounts that are being talked about here aren’t concerning. If you’re equating alcohol with opioids, then you have no idea what you’re talking about at all.
He’s not equating them to each other he’s simply comparing the harm they cause to society…
Alcohol is more damaging than heroin when social damage is included. My opinion is based on the newest research and scientific consensus on this topic.
