  No, that’s not even a scary amount. 4-5 drinks is just the first 2-3 hours of a Sunday BBQ.

    That’s literally like a heroin user bragging abt how much heroin they do but this isn’t seen as harmful for some reason

      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.

        Alcohol is more harmful than heroin whenever social damage is included

      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.

  …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.
