Do you drink alcohol? Why or why not?

Lately I’ve been thinking it is pushed so much to keep people complacent. When I was an avid drinker I didn’t really care what I was accomplishing or doing or why was going on in the world. Long as I had my buzz. Now I rarely drink and feel a lot better and more aggravated at what is going on in this world.

I wonder if media and gov push alcohol so much to keep people complacent. I mean even liquor stores were deemed essential stores. Beer commercials for every sport (I don’t watch) and every movie or show usually has people drinking, sometimes casually but lots of times to excess and it’s seen as the epitome of fun.

Yeah my family is not at all toxic and very caring and loving. My parents never drank, maybe once during a vacation. I respect that a lot now. My siblings though, idk why but all drink pretty heavily. Every social function or get together ends up involving drinks and it’s just so tiresome. Brunch = mimosas, dinner = beer, wine, bowling/mini golf, etc = drink plenty before hand. Now when I have a drink or two it just gives me a headache, heartburn, and achy joints. Lately just been really questioning why it’s pushed so much.

its pushed because its evil shit and they can send their demons on you. Go into any booze joint and really study words and symbolism. I studied art for a long time and it took years to actually see. Symbolism is the reality in which we lice. Seriously how many evil signs can you spot in the advertising? Its all of them infortunately.
