Study finds there is no safe (non impactful) level of alcohol consumption.

In the last 10 years I've probably had around 6 drinks total, all for occasions.

Alcohol really adds nothing to my life. In the meantime, I save $$$$$ that would have been spent on it.
 
In the last 3 days I have had 6 drinks.

So.....??

What was your name again. Brent?? :twofinger

Well shit!

I know you said you rarely drink, but I feel honored that one of those was with me. :Port

Incognizant. Nescience. Insensible. Oblivious. Or, just good ol' Clueless.

Anyone who "goes a couple of weeks without drinking" but then "enjoys drinking (what's he gonna do?)" has some issues to work out. I get it. I wouldn't post that on a forum if that was my plight, but I get it.

I find it funny when ya work an alcohol angle against me. It's inanity, which makes it even more awesome. If only you knew me...

Not sure what needs to be worked out you are getting at?

I am pretty much 100% a social drinker, I usually have a nice bottle of scotch or two in the house, typically gifts that I received, but I don't fuck with them unless I have family over for a holiday or something. This is not an active choice or an act of discipline, I just don't have any interest in drinking by myself.

When I go out with people and we go hang out at bars, one of my favorite social occasions, I can easily have 6-10 drinks, more if it is a longer period, we get hammered, have a ton of laughs, everyone goes home, I make sure to take hydration precautions before sleeping and have no hang over problems.

So for almost a year I have hardly had a drink at all, because of the pandemic. Now that the pandemic is over, I have started going back to bars with friends, I really enjoy it, what is the problem?

:dunno

When I go to the store, I don't want to wait for something else to happen, I go to the self check out line.

Now, now, me and the Bertonaut get along pretty famously around here, I am generally interested in what he thinks is an issue with what I described in a habit that often costs me less in 6 months than some guys spend on a single track day weekend. :dunno

You're right. Maybe I was drunk when I said it.

I fucking hate studies like this, because media uses them to claim causation when the studies don't support that, though normally studies will be more responsible than this one is in using language that can be misunderstood in that way. ......

Several studies show that limited alcohol reduces plaque platelets in our arteries.
 
Alcohol is technically a toxin (it's why they call it "intoxicated")

The fact there is no "safe" level depends entirely how you want to quantify "safe", and even then is pretty worthless without accounting for dosage/exposure. Lacking this I'm really curious how a study could quantify "0.8%".
 
:laughing

I totally get the "vent" part of the equation. Many's the evening/early morning I've spent with friends venting about all the problems in the world over a gallon booze. I'm almost positive we "solved" a few of them as well but it's always hard to remember through the haze of the morning/afternoon after.

alcohol is also a very common solvent which is why people try to turn to booze to solve their problems.

So true. My son's girlfriend has GAD and treats it with a daily 6pak and two shots. So far, the treatment is failing.

Oh, she smokes 2paks a day, but that should be addressed in the smoking thread.
