Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?

Then they report the hell of the hangover the next day, and the craving for more alcohol so they can feel good again. A perpetual cycle of drunkenness that eventually affects career & family & finances & domicile stability.
Alcohol is, however, an inextricable part of the human experience
I’ve never had alcohol in my life. Poisoning oneself does not need to be normalized.

It’s pretty clear you have no real concept of what you’re talking about all throughout this thread.
Best quit while you’re behind. Not everyone out drinking is getting lit or subscribing to all the other social ills you’re describing from your “observations.”
These takes are as lame as prejudging someone based on music tastes, hobbies, dress, etc.

I will state some facts. Alcohol is literally poison. Alcohol has calories but no nutrients. Alcohol is not necessary for human consumption. Alcohol is harmful to humans. No benefits aside from being a mind-altering substance that helps people relax or whatever.
My drug of choice is intense physical exercise. All the side effects of physical exercise are good & positive: mentally, physically, & spiritually. Energetic & alert & clear-thinking during the day, and sleep well at night. The effects & benefits of intense physical exercise are real & long-lasting. Not temporary or superficial.

Great for you.
Not going to rip on your hobby or way of life. Maybe suggest you do the same to others.
There is plenty that is harmful in life but enhances it. Sorry you haven’t grasped that that is life. If you ever had a beer maybe you’d find that you don’t even want the alcohol but found the taste is good. But heaven forbid people make their own choices abbot life without some holier than thou person coming in to lecture them.
