unlearn the DARE hysteria.

IDK what that is.

You know someone who is addicted to shrooms/LSD?

No, I know someone who knew this guy. Allegedly he became a total mess in no time. They were a group who took it under guidance, and this one fellow became hooked trying it once.

True.

Yes I agree, you can get drunk some times without being an alcoholic, but if you get hammered drunk so you don’t know what you’re doing, then you obviously have a problem.
I never understood why some people find it funny, when they get so drunk they can’t remember anything the day after???

Thanks, the more you know. 👍

Yes the Jewish one is even more disgusting, but this was in a hospital, I hope they don’t have such practices there. 🤮

Thanks for the TLDR, I agree all of those are very bad, and strong indicators of alcoholism.
But I’m very surprised that as many as 10% 12+ year experience that within a year? (12% men 8% women)
But maybe that’s because I never had problems myself, when I was younger I hated if I could feel alcohol clouding my thoughts just the slightest. So I basically didn’t drink at all while in education. I probably still choose to be with people that don’t drink much, because I still absolutely prefer moderation.

I know your numbers are American, but I think it’s probably about the same here. Again I’m honestly very surprised that so many people have such serious problems?

Yes of course, edited.
Thanks.

OK but they are highly dangerous none the less. I know (2nd hand) of someone who became dependent using it only once!!
Despite warnings not to use it unmonitored, and only once per year.

Its not someone jumping through a window because they are tripping and now think they can fly.

OK I get the point. 😋

Nope, that’s personal alcoholism.

I simply don’t believe that. But if they consider getting drunk once AUD, then that an absolutely useless piece of crap paper.

You sound like someone who is defending their own bad habit

That’s decidedly offensive, I drink on average the equivalent of 1 beer per day. I basically never get drunk, but it can happen, maybe a couple of times per year. I drink maybe 2 bottles of wine per month.
So there you go, but you sound like one who likes to make idiotic personal comments.

That chart is simply wrong:

https://www.libertyhouseclinic.co.uk/blog/substance-abuse/cocaine-or-alcohol-whats-worse/

Due to its intense and immediate effects on the brain’s reward system, cocaine comes with a very high risk of addiction.

This is a very well established fact in what research shows about dependency. There is absolutely NO WAY cocaine is only slightly higher than alcohol in dependency potential.
It’s also one of the things that make smoking such a strong dependency.

Also both LSD and Psilocybin seem dead wrong from what I know. Both are advised to ONLY take when you are monitored by a sober person. And that’s not because of how “innocent” they are.

If you get drunk every weekend for years you are an alcoholic and you just don’t know it.

Some people get drunk once a week and don’t drink otherwise.

10% of the US population over 12 y.o. has dealt with alcoholism in the last year.

I never claimed alcohol is without problems. I expect by dealt with, it includes family and friends coworkers and such. That it isn’t personal alcoholism.

Please note this is a maximum! And it’s STANDARD alcoholic drinks:

https://www.niaaa.nih.gov/alcohols-effects-health/what-standard-drink

It’s not insane, it’s based on health impact, and probably the fact that 3 standard drinks don’t create dependency.
1 standard drink is broken down in the body in about 1 hour.

This is according to Danish health authorities, 3 standard drinks for men and 2 for women per day on average is the max, it’s recommended to not exceed that. But even at maller levels, the principles I stated in my first post remain the same.

The guideline here is 3 standard drinks per day, more than that and you may be an alcoholic.
You can do the above within that limit.

PS:
I think you have a problem with your shift key, you may want to consider buying a new keyboard. it looks pretty stupid with the jumbled writing.

Several things determine the danger of a drug. One of the most important is the “distance” from pleasure to lethal dose. In that regard alcohol is way less dangerous than kokain.

Another risk is how easy you build dependency, and again you can easily enjoy a shared bottle of wine for dinner, or a beer during a break, and even get drunk in the weekend every weekend for years, all without building a dependency, you really have to abuse alcohol to become an alcoholic.

Finally there’s the way you take it, where alcohol is consumed relatively slowly, and the uptake through the digestive system is also relatively slow. Kokain is taken quickly, to obtain a rush and a the high quickly, and the uptake is directly to the blood through mucosa, way quicker than if it had to go through the digestive system.
This makes kokain (cocaine) way more likely to create a dependency, and is also why it’s generally considered more dangerous.

So objectively by perfectly standard measures, kokain is way more dangerous than alcohol. Even without accounting for the extra dangers from kokain being illegal, like the addition of adulterants that are very dangerous.

Stop molesting mutilating children would be my advice.

As the sun began to rise, Meyer looked outside and saw what he thought was a black bag in the park.

Shot in the neck outside his property. Is neither self defense or defense of property.
Leaving the guy dying afterwards without calling an ambulance is also neglect of his responsibility.
Even if it was inside his house, you can’t just leave somebody to die if they have been incapacitated.
He simply completely lacked plausible deniability of any kind. So I don’t get what your point is.

To use the wrong gender on purpose is derogatory, not recognizing the person you are talking to. Or at least most would probably consider it that way.
So the answer would obviously be a very strong no. At worst you may ruin someones day, at best you just look like an idiot.

Yes, so reversing it makes it actually the original religious symbol, and NOT the nazi symbol.
