I Can't Drink Now Like I Used to a Few Years Ago (26M), is that Normal?
I Can't Drink Now Like I Used to a Few Years Ago (26M), is that Normal?
During college and a few years after (maybe til 23/24) I drank almost weekly and don't get drunk that easily. In terms of beers, maybe I get tipsy at about 6 and give up at 10.
But now, I drink 2 and I get tipsy, and maybe tap out at 4/5.
..beers? 4-5 beers over the course of a night is fine. Especially if you're a larger person. I'm a pretty big dude and unless I'm shotgunning them I can drink 2-3 beers and barely be tipsy.
I don't even drink often, either.
Now if it's every night or something there might be an issue.
It's literally not. Yes, any amount of alcohol has health effects, but equating a half-dozen beers with heroin is total lunacy. It's absolutely nowhere near as harmful as literally heroin.
Youre getting downvote but I'm not sure you are wrong... Alcoholics are far more likely to hurt or abuse another person than a heroin user, where usually the worst a heroin user will do is steal for money to afford heroin. Heroin users mostly abuse themselves. Alcoholics abuse themselves and those close to them.

I think a lot of people just don't want to confront the truths about the harm of alcohol. Easier to downvote and ignore lol. I'm glad I quit drinking, it almost killed me I was in an awful place and alcohol only made it worse. Thankfully weed is super legal where I live now so I can unwind with that, a far less harmful substance.
I don't even drink anymore. The amounts that are being talked about here aren't concerning. If you're equating alcohol with opioids, then you have no idea what you're talking about at all.
Alcohol is more damaging than heroin when social damage is included. My opinion is based on the newest research and scientific consensus on this topic.
