I don't know why with "sins" life always have to be black and white? How about the golden middle road, grey? Why can't we have just 2 beers or 3 cigarettes a day? I keep preaching moderation as a way of life, including everything, exercise, hobbies, sex and "sins". Even useful things can be harmful when overdoing them... I drink radlers during the summer and they have 2% alcohol content. Nobody is going to be drunk on that.
So you drink just to the point of making your friends interesting. I think you should let them know how you're going out of your way for them.
%% MOSTLY true\ AFN,in areas like USA where we have plenty of good good water[Sorry if some live in a Dem run city like Flint MI or Jackson MS where they screwed up the water supply for decades.] WE're so blessed with water/ its news when something goes wrong with water. BUT in[non US] many areas where good water is a problem ; wine is a healthy drink, within limits. And alcohol is good pain killer. And Vicks Formula 44 was about 44% alcohol/ great cough medicine. {Priced a bit hi to chug a lug that tasty stuff /LOL} Good points mostly.
Sorry, but I have to ask...Have you ever been so drunk that you did all that, and when waking up in the middle of the night you drink the 16oz water bottle, then peed into the 16 oz water bottle, and then drank your own pee later on in the sleep cycle? Teehee.
I can imagine that happening, sure! haha Dude, I can imagine a LOT of crazy shit. You would love to party with me man. Give me a bit of a buzz like you suggested, and our conversations would NEVER be boring, even if yer straight-edge sober.
The people that I witness getting fucked up the most are the ones who have created a life for themselves that sucks so bad that it's worthy of that level of escape.
I am not sure just straight booze would cause someone to have the cognizance to pee in their bottle and drink it later. It would probably also involve some other compound on top. Maybe mushrooms? Not sure. But as I said, I can imagine a lot of strange stuff.
Hey man, while I have you here live in the Health/Fitness section...I know you follow a lot of ideas about supplements...A friend of mine who had a seizure ten years ago has been having a lot of short-term memory problems. For years she's been taking Ginko Balboa, because it supposedly helps memory. I have never noticed it helping her short-term recall. I think it's a BS supplement. What you say in your experience and observations in your circle of peeps?
Instead of relying on supplements, she needs to treat her short-term memory like a muscle that needs to be developed, which means that she needs to spend 15 minutes each morning building her short-term memory through memory-based games via an app such as Lumosity. And there should definitely be no smoking weed, eating gummies, or anything THC-based and counterproductive like that.
