Do you think 'society' tries to push people to be alcoholic?
I was referring to writing capabilities, though... currently e.g. I'm so drunk if I was more than this I'd vomit, and yet it's indistinguishable, isn't it? I don't talk vocally much, so I can't do much testing in that field, but I think it works in a somewhat similar manner to entactogens which seem to bypass some sort of inhibition (also antipsychotics, but those bypass it in some insane manner, like a truck that wants to bash everything).
I don't deny it's poison, though... I always hated the fact it's perfectly acceptable in society, despite better substances not being so... but personally I don't think I end up being a 'jerk' at all... I think, like most substances, it enhances already natural qualities... I have two cats and I think I treat them even better when drunk simply because their fur seems absolutely heavenly to feel, hah... but no, I don't drive anyway, and I'd never do in any altered state, it's nerve-wreaking enough to be driven by others to begin with...

I'm going to stop posting in this thread, I just can't stand alcoholics and people who try to justify alcoholism. It's best if I don't even try to interact. I shouldn't have posted in here in the the first place, knowing so many would likely post supporting alcoholism on such a topic. There are always at least a few in any crowd.
I don't drink alcohol and I'm not pressured into drinking, but heaven forbid I put any food into my body that isn't salad. I'm constantly hearing the voices telling me over and over, "how can you eat that, it's disgusting, it tastes like garbage, it'll make you sick, you'll instantly gain 30 pounds, it gives you cancer, it makes children autistic, it's made with aborted human fetuses, your innards will rot and you'll become a mutant, become an anorexic food is the enemy, you say you'll starve to death if you don't eat? Ha ha it would take you a year before you even start to get close to dying of starvation, you're so fat and ugly no wonder you have so many problems, hope you choke on it, you disgusting fat pig"

I don't think I've read anything so stupidly over the top.
I'm getting to the point where I can't be bothered with the insanity and bitterness of this forum anymore
I had an interesting conversation today with a man who was telling some students about his experiences with University.
Guy: Do any of you drink? I hear that your generation of students don't go out drinking that much.
Student #1: No, for cultural reasons.
#2 Student: I don't drink either.
Me: On occasion, but not very often. Sometimes I go out with friends to the pub, but not everyone gets alcohol. One time I just got a hot chocolate on a night out and no one batted an eye.
Guy: It's definitely a generational thing.
Are students less interested in drinking these days? I have heard people call my age group the sensible generation before. Perhaps inflation is a main factor? University is expensive after all. I do know some students who go binge drinking, but I also know plenty who would rather not. Add on the fact that if you do something stupid on a night out, it's likely to end up on social media and it might harm your chances of getting employed...so that's probably a deterrent as well.
That's often a problem these days. It can feel as if no one has any privacy anymore. Our data is owned by social media companies, we can't goof off without the worry of someone recording it, and with our lives constantly on display it can feel as if our personal life becomes a part of a pitch towards employers. Celebrities become brands, and designers often have to create a brand image for themselves as well.
We sell a presentable version of ourselves rather than just our achievements...

I for myself like that alcohol makes less introverted and reserved. Because of this society pushes people a bit to it. But for being less introverted and reserved it doesn't requires much and to much causes more problems than it's worth. People could be less introverted and reserved without it too of course. But most don't dare to break some minor social rules then. Rules like not bothering others - even that most people wouldn't feel bothered if talking to them - and not doing any strange things - even that most people rather like somebody who does then being bored by people who don't dare anything. I think a bit alcohol once you are with others is OK. To much alcohol or being totally drunken isn't.
