If I have 3 drinks in a year, I’m drinking a lot. Never bother with it any more.

No I don’t want to risk getting liver damage mixing it with the medication. You can get almost instant liver damage. And I already have a slight problem with my liver, which could get worse if I keep drinking.
I do enjoy a drink on occasion but come on when you are literally surrounded by telepathic aliens that may or may not be satanic youd need a drink also.

I drink 48-96oz of beer every day since I was 16-17(when I believe my first break occurred) save for the time I was in the army, and when I went to jail for three weeks. I can’t get drunk. I catch a buzz that takes the edge off the crap my head puts me through and has been a crutch for a long time, as I’m 33 now. But I can’t get drunk, I’ve drank whole bottles of whisky to my head and still never got drunk. I can drink to the point my buzz goes away however… And I don’t believe I’ve ever had a hangover. I usually stay up longer than the buzz lasts and then go to sleep. Wake and no hangover. It’s strange. I know I should not drink as much as I do but I need something to get through the days, and it would probably do my system great harm to miss a few days at this point in the game.
I drink in the weekends when getting together with friends. Sometimes a bit too much - or so the next day tells me. I do not conceive of it as a problem to be honest, I have no difficulties at all not drinking on weekdays. I can imagine it being very tough to cut it out if it causes you problems, for it is such an accepted social drug.
Oooo. Well. Yes. I did. 
Sorry I forgot to say that I don’t think that alcohol is ‘OK’ for anyone but unfortunately for some mental people its the first med that works.
And for those very very few that can incorporate it into their life and still function so they don’t have to put synthetics into their body I think that’s great.
I mean FULLY functional in every way.
Never misses work or uses it for a excuse to avoid normal every day life and can have positive relationships with others.
Ive used it as meds and worked 20 hr days processing fish or commercial fishing on a boat every day for 4 months straight.
What really burns me up is those people that don’t like alcohol so they are a jerk to you if you are medicating.
I honestly believe that they are like that just because they can’t pull it off themselves, either it just makes them sick off one drink or they can’t control themselves and they drink until they are dysfunctional and lose jobs and friends and such so they get pissed off at people that aren’t like them.
But generally speaking alcohol is evil.

Well man. I used to smoke pot every day. I would even diss on those who dissed on it. Now that I’m outside of smoking like that… I can see how much time/money/mental development I lost to cannabis.
I was thinking about this and that’s just how it is. Both sides feel righteous. I’ll still probably wind up bitching when my friends are too high to be fun for me, regardless of how much fun they’re having.
Live and let live man. People might talk ■■■■, but I don’t think anyone is going to try and stop you from drinking or even smoking if you manage it like you say you do.
I’m trying to get out of this substance consumption cycle. I’m well aware that if I don’t play it right people are going to assume I’m a douche. I’m trying to sort out how to genuinely think it’s not a better strategy and it’s just the path I’ve chosen among many, for reasons of safety and stability and conservation. All people have the right to do what they will regarding these matters.
People should be sovereign over themselves, but only over themselves. Throw sex in and poverty and addiction and all the sudden you have criminality cropping up where people break their bounds of sovereignty and try to take what’s not theirs. When addiction is involved it’s just a mess. Then they wind up begging for a couple bucks outside of a liquor store just to get a single large can of beer.
Do what you want man. Let the other think and feel how they please. Find the people who you get along with. That’s my strategy.

Thats a great strategy and usually subscribe to the same.
I know exactly what you are talking about when you throw poverty in the mix.
I use to make around $5000 a month legally growing and providing for terminal cancer patients, well I did this in a community that is now destroyed.
So all the people that I went to school with that use to make fun of me for doing the same thing that I’ve done since 13 yrs old instead of getting a ‘real’ job
Well when the economy crashed and they all lost those ‘so great and moral’ jobs while my career path was exploding in a great way they all turned on me because I wouldn’t give them hand outs or let them fill my apartment with jobless homeless people.
They ran me out of town
The situation was FREAKING SUBLIME think about it all these people that looked down on me for how I made my money were asking ME for a hand out.
I’m not addicted to alcohol,smoking or caffeine. I drink two beers a week,one cup of coffee every day just to wake up and smoke to relax once in a while .If i want to quit from them i can do it easily.

I drink beer only about 3 up to 12 a day.
I’m looking to change my external life to be too busy to drink.
Please don’t spite me pixel. I’m just being honest.
That is impressive sir. I don’t have addiction issues aside from nicotine. It’s a killer habit.
I have really had to cut back on drinking as its causing bad paranoia the next day in me if I drink to much. I now have a limit of 2 litres of larger 4% to 5%. This is only in the past year the paranoia has started before that drinking wasn’t causing problems for me unless I blacked out.

Drinking is typically a fine experience.
It’s the next morning I wake up in a fog and memories start cropping up to remind me of what;s going on. Takes a few hours to slow that down, even longer if I add coffee into that mix.
well i havent had any alchohol tell lately but it makes me feel sick and doesnt have any benefit for me so iam putting it behind me.
