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.

The jew wants us drunk/high as often as possible. For this reason alone I abstain.

Alcohol is metabolized exactly the same as sugar. Sugar causes the same health issues as alcohol, it just doesn't give you a buzz.

Actually, it's worse. Ethanol can't be metabolized into adipose, while fructose (the closest sugar to alcohol) is more likely to be deposited as adipose if you consume it without the fiber.

So are you saying fruit juice is bad for you?

Why does eating fiber with fructose make a difference?

I never made poor decisions after drinking sweet tea.

I made many poor decisions due to sugar water, my teeth became instantly better once I stopped. Ditching sugar was the best thing I ever did. Well not completely true, I do like to slam a red bull from time to time.

A man with no logic nor reason is the drunkard.

I live with two potheads, and one is also a mild drunk. Very frustrating!
