I'm with you, but what about the fact we know alcohol is cancer juice at this point? That's what I still worry about. Less and less people are going to be drinking because of all the health revelations.

*shows himself out of drinking thread*
I thought about this, and my initial reaction was that line of thinking just goes down the rabbit hole for everything and we could continue that discussion in the War Room.

Then I remembered, one of the reasons I stick with beer and not hard liquor is precisely for health - I don't want cirrhosis, and hard liquor gets you that quicker.

In any event, I keep active and healthy. Clearly I have shown I have the willpower to stop drinking if I want to if it ever came to a head in regards to health.

edit: cheers to the weekend motherfuckers. 7/11 recently here has got their own (craft? what makes it craft?) beer for 5.5元. It's not bad.

It's just as "craft" as this Airborne is a "crafted blend." (What does this word even mean?)

@max 330 megafartz The Double Oaked is actually too rich compared to the rye I was just having.

Great idea. Those movie theater bar prices are insane. Reserved for date night only.

We had a little get-together with friends for an early Thanksgiving. The only real booze at the party were these.

Personally I think Lagavulin is overrated. I love scotch, but I don’t need my scotch to taste like pure campfire. I’d rather just drink mezcal for that.
Gentleman’s Jack was decent, and fairly cheap from what I’ve seen.

What irritates me slightly about the super health conscious (not including you here Alec) is the way they tell you something is bad for you, as though by not doing it they're just going to live forever.
I still don't like those people, even though now I know they're right in a way, found that out quite late in my life but better late than never I guess. It's not about living forever but quality of life. When I was still fat and sucked up alc like a sponge, I felt like crap and consequently ate or drank even more to sedate myself in one way or another. A vicious circle.

Now that I've stopped eating shit food and drinking excessively (I'm not abstinent or summat), my life has improved more dramatically than I could have ever imagined. My allergies are gone, I can sleep normally, have no more breathing probs and it's been two years since I had a flu or similar illnesses. I feel great, things that seemed like Herculean tasks have lost their horrors, I can walk normally even for longer distances, unloading a 40 ton truck of fireworks feels like kids play now, used to be a nightmare which downed me for a day or two afterwards.

In short, what I had to give up was nothing compared to what I got. Again, it's not about giving up everything and living like a monk but making the right decisions in order to make things more bearable. Nobody lives forever but you might as well feel good while life lasts instead of having fun for a bit and then paying for it for the rest of your life.

Please note that this isn't some theoretical moral pointing finger bs but my personal experience with that stuff. Don't wanna sound patronising or anything.
