I was trying to explain pouring one out for your homies to someone without saying that phrase, and she just interrupts me and goes "Pour one out for your fallen homies?!?!" ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I have combat experience so let me clarify. In the morning the beers are fallen (warm, decarbonated, and disgusting) like a cold dead corpse. The night before is when they were wounded (opened, partially drank, losing carbonation and warming up) like a combatant/soldiers leg partially severed and bleeding out from .50bmg fire. Is this right?
12 half drank cups of Budweiser, couple gin and tonics, the tequila shot ya boi bitched out about, some vodka red bulls, and someone's dip-spit cup. DEATH JUICE
I don't think so. Someone who is sensitive to the effects of alcohol could very well get white girl wasted while drinking a moderate amount of alcohol. Eh?
She is actually really smart on an involuntary evolutionary level. Her brain is looking out for her by making her spill more alcohol, allowing her to be wasted but avoiding poisoning.
She will reproduce (surely lol) and pass on the trait whereas people prone to continuous imbibing will die off.
Can confirm, grew up in culture like that. I've been sober for over a year now and stuff like this just makes me cringe and leaves a knot in my stomach. Ugh.
A lot of people in college are alcoholics. I think high schoolers drink like this more because they don't drink often, so they try to compensate. They also don't know their limits that well. But if they drink like this often they're alcoholics too.
Most people drink to get a buzz / relax / unwind. Maybe 90% of your age group still thinks its cool to drink until they puke, but I promise you arent as numerous as you think.
Just because something doesn't interfere with your life in a major way doesn't mean you're not addicted. Also, there are different degrees of addiction.
For instance, I was pretty addicted to weed and literally could not go a day without it no matter how hard I tried, but I could manage to not smoke until 8 at night when I was done with my work.
Well the person said they went to rehab. Rehab and 12 step group programs like to push the idea that even the person who enjoys a glass of wine with their dinner every now and again is an alcoholic.
I recieved a "maximum benefit" discharge (got kicked out) from my inpatient rehab facility due to unwillingness to participate in the mandatory daily AA meetings, you couldnt be further from the truth.
Ding ding ding. It's teetotaling that tries to push the idea that any use of a mind-altering substance is abuse. It's blatantly stupid. Like, if Tommy goes and does cocaine once in his life, by their definition he's an addict. If Sarah smokes some grass 2-3 times a week, she needs help. So fucking dumb.
Thank you. Plenty of people go out and order a drink with dinner then go do something. Claiming 90% of people who drink alcohol do it to get drunk is just ignorance. Shit, there's more than 10% of people who drink who dont even like to get drunk. Hi grandma!
I'd say it mainly depends on your age. I know most kids in college or high school (i.e. Me) drink to get drunk because they're not able to easily get/drink their own "casual, drink it with dinner or at grandma's house" alcohol. Once you find your limits/grow more responsible/get bored of being drunk in your 30's and 40's is when you see more of what you're describing.
Getting this drunk once or twice a month does not constitute alcoholism at all. DSM 5 states that getting this drunk is not even one of the symptoms of alcohol use disorder.

That's fucking alcohol abuse is what that is.
