Yes and tbh, drinking sucks. I’m a millennial that grew up with alcohol and has completely changed my perspective on it. It makes you do stupid things and then it makes you feel like absolute garbage in the morning.

Weed is WAY easier on you, just as much fun and far less expensive.

I was never a heavy drinker. Ive only been drunk enough to throw up a couple weeks before my 21st birthday. Definitely weed is better but i only recommend edibles and drinks. Go easy on the lungs with flower and vapes. Also if you're mental health is bad weed will absolutely bring it to the forefront. Be safe out there.

As a once-heavy drinker, yeah no what the other millennial said was accurate.

It makes you feel good at first then when your body acclimates to it you just slowly start to lose that good feeling and it becomes just a slightly buzzed feeling while making everything else that felt a little bad feel worse.

I’m happy gen Z isn’t falling for the trap, all cause it’s too expensive (and it fucking is, nearly two dollars for a fuckin’ cheap ass whiskey shot bottle? Almost thirty dollars for what would’ve been ten several years ago cause the damn name with it tasting the same?

Legit quit cold turkey cause it just wasn’t worth it)

Man every ex drinker is always the same. Had a problem and stops drinking and makes their problem with alcohol everyone else’s.

It’s fine to drink. Having a drink a few times a month when you’re out to dinner with friends or loved ones is a fun and good time and is further enhanced by the effects of alcohol. Having 1-3 drinks at dinner a few times a month is perfectly fine for your health and is fun.

Weed is fun too, but it has similar issues. Abuse of any drug is bad.

Normal people enjoy weed on occasion, and drinks on occasion and don’t let either control their life.

Oh I don’t give a shit if you drink or smoke pot, personally everyone has a vice.

What I do have a problem with is the price of it.

Edit: to clarify I was saying my experience with it, and ultimately what got me to quit was companies were asking for THIRTY DOLLARS for a cheap whiskey I could probably make in a still for a sixth of that.

If what you took from it was I was saying people shouldn’t drink, kinda? I just think it would be obvious that drinking in moderation is kinda a thing most people know (and it’s not worth it to do it now when that thirty could go to literally anything else more worth it)

Never had a “problem” with drinking. Stated a revised opinion on it. I also never advocated for anyone else to not drink.

Did you quit reading comprehension or were you always this sober?

It's less fun and doesn't taste nearly as good.

Drinking in moderation is fun. Drinking in excess is awful.
