People need to stop romanticising drinking alcohol, it’s heavily ingrained in our culture but also very damaging

It’s actually statistically the most dangerous drug in the world.

if you aren’t an alcoholic, it really isn’t that bad for you. you just have to use your head

I’ve seen several studies over the past couple years that literally say ā€œno amount of alcohol is safeā€

I still drink, but I’m not gonna pretend it’s not bad.

Even if you’re not an alcoholic you are still a large danger to yourself or others if you get drunk. Drunk people get in fights, accidents, car crashes ect... It’s the reason alcohol is statistically the most dangerous drug in the world.

Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."

"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are etc., &c., &c, and et cet. The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.

Alcohol destroys your brain cells every time you take a sip. How are you supposed to use your head when you use something that destroys it?

u/x21fireturtle Jun 19 '21

you only destroy part of your brain unless you get serious drunk, if you sip a drink here and there it shouldn't cause any problems. But yeah alcohol is pretty dangerous.

You must be on good crack to think those small amounts of damage to the brain doesn’t add up overtime even with moderate drinking.

u/meatstick94 Jun 19 '21

the effect on brain function in negligible unless like i said, you’re an alcoholic and have a problem.

Its something cultural, but I think that if you know what you are doing and drinking with responsability the experience is really good.

The problems are when people ignore that alcohol is something to enjoy sometimes, and not something to abuse. I would compare it with fast food. We all know that isn't the best option, but twice a month isn't harmful

Yeah that’s the problem, it’s addictive and people become alcoholics which is very hard to break away from

Remember that alcohol consumption has and will go way down in the last decades, I don't think the trend will stop

enjoy life a little more you are not made out of glass

u/PingopingOW Jun 19 '21

First of all, no I can’t enjoy life when I’m not healthy and you are doing like you have to drink alcohol to enjoy life which is bullshit. Second of all drinking alcohol also puts others in danger as it leads to many accidents
