I’ve always hated how alcohol commercials play up like a cool beer is the best thing in the world, or a glass of whiskey is what will put hair on your chest. It’s a disgusting narrative that ruins people’s lives.
On social media, there’s a huge variety of it. People posting how they were sober on NYE. Folks sharing before/after as they’ve gone cold turkey. I see people share tips of what type of mocktails to get at bars, and alternatives to having a fun night over getting drunk.
I appreciate that.
And this is not bashing alcohol. Moderation in everything.
I try to do 1:1 alcohol to water (one glass of water per alcoholic beverage), but that often becomes hard to enforce on myself after a couple of drinks lol
I don’t have an issue with doing 1:1 because the spectre of a hangover makes even drunk passerby keep their shit together. Who has time to lose one of your too few free days to bedlock? Migraines to that enough as it is…
You are greatly overestimating my capacity for proper executive functioning.
Legit. I’m (surprisingly) good at that just out of fear lol. It’s amazing what pavlovian training can do
