Alcohol is so culturally embedded in West the replies here are so sad. Alcohol is poison and it fucks up kidney, liver and brain. Sets cortisol base levels higher and perpetuates a habit in such a way that, you HAVE to drink to feel normal and relaxed.

It is like a robber - robbing $100 when you are sleeping and giving $50 when you visit them. Its the unawareness that you are being robbed of hundred makes him look like a good guy.

note: I do not mind your downvote.. but if you are downvoting - please schedule a bloodwork and take a look at your numbers.

> all the while alcohol is imposing higher and higher tax on you.
