          flour products cause me joint & muscle inflammation & pain, And yes I’ve tested this with delicious comforting saltine crackers and the pain is unfortunately real 😓 fruit has this effect on me too 😭

    Seems conservative, I was thinking 7 beers. I certainly wouldn’t regret drinking 7 beers before going to bed.

      I never do. You just got to build up a tolerance. Some people keep telling me it’s an addiction but they’re just pussies who can’t handle their alcohol.

        Since I’ve largely quit drinking I miss being able to get drunk and full at the same time. Such efficiency

          It really is a time saver until the whole… You know, liver thing…

          Good on you, I’m currently cutting down myself but it’s been difficult. Recently moved across the country and my wife and daughter are staying back until the house sells so I’ve been alone and bored for over a month now. Praying it sells soon before I fuck my body up lol

            I didn’t mean to preach, it’s a new thing for me and was sort of forced on me medically. Boredom is so hard, it’s my biggest issue. I just cope with cannabis instead of alcohol

              Not at all! You weren’t preachy. I used to not drink at all and only use cannabis but after a very very bad experience on mushrooms every time I smoke or use weed I have severe panic attacks and alcohol is the only thing I can use anymore to calm my nerves and stop my stupid head from doing its thing. I’m not an alcoholic by any means but ask me again in a couple months and that might change if I don’t.

              The move across the country was for a work promotion so now I’m the boss and opening a new branch in a new state so I’m trying to keep up and setup everything while taking direction over the phone and it is driving me nuts!!

              But I don’t mean to complain really, it’s just new and stressful and being alone is literally the worst thing for me. I’ve never been away from my family more than 2 days before and over estimated my ability to cope. I’m happy here and know I did the right thing but it’s tough.

              Good luck to you and hope your medical things go well. If you read all that, thank you, I needed to get that out lol.

      Does that include the calories necessary to process the alcohol?

        Yes. Just like all recommended calorie intake figures include the calories needed to process the digestion of food.

          Just want to note this is sarcasm for whoever doesn’t understand how calories are measured.

          They basically measure it by burning a substance, which is not an accurate measurement of how our bodies process them

        Interestingly, end stage alcoholics are often incredibly incredibly skinny from having a deficiency of nutrients. Although they will have very swollen abdomens from liver failure.

        So I guess just sprinkle some protein powder in your booze and you’ll be all set!

    Whu do something depraved like that when you could probably also find some expired spicy peanuts In your cupboard. You certainly won’t regret washing down an entire can of expired spicy peanuts with two beers.

    I’m currently at hour 47 of only beers, no food and no water. Can’t say I’d recommend it.

      If you stop drinking the cumulative hangover may literally kill you

        If you ever decide to stop, seek medical assistance. If you are to the point where you get the shakes, the detox could kill you if you quit cold turkey.

            More than half. But I can drink liquids. I wouldn’t be around this long if I couldn’t.

              Nice, I thought alcohol wasn’t in the cards for you. In that case: cheers! And good luck on your health journey.

                Thank you, I appreciate it.

                Port is pretty much the only alcohol I drink and in moderation, usually when I think I’m going to have trouble sleeping. I haven’t drank just to get drunk since college.

                I do really like it though, so it’s nice to be able to have something to treat myself with.
