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.

No.

I do not want to blunt my mental or physical abilities in any way, and I do not give a crock about "being social" whilst partaking in said poison - anyone who peddles that nonsense is not someone I want to know or associate with. I also want nothing to do with clowns who will criticise or look at you funny because I say "I don't drink".

I do not have anything against anyone who wants to drink on occasion. Becoming dependent on it, or criticising those who don't want to though, I will call out their shit.

The people you are "calling out" are the ones who have the ability to (and will) stall your career.

implying I give a fuck about what mental degenerates think.

Joke's on you though, I'm actually one of the top of my field worldwide. You can't stall that which is headhunted on the entire planet. Their attempts are akin to pissing in the wind of a hurricane, while they get rightfully ridiculed.

You don't know how high you could have gone.
