Rat Park was a series of studies into drug addiction conducted in the late 1970s and published between 1978 and 1981 by Canadian psychologist Bruce K. Alexander and his colleagues at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada.

At the time of the studies, research exploring the self-administration of morphine in animals often used small, solitary metal cages. Alexander hypothesized that these conditions may be responsible for exacerbating self-administration.[1] To test this hypothesis, Alexander and his colleagues built Rat Park, a large housing colony 200 times the floor area of a standard laboratory cage. There were 16–20 rats of both sexes in residence, food, balls and wheels for play, and enough space for mating.[2] The results of the experiment appeared to support his hypothesis that housing-conditions affect the consumption of morphine water.[1] This research highlighted an important issue in the design of morphine-self administration studies of the time, namely the use of austere housing-conditions, which confound the results.[3]

The idea is that people use drugs and alcohol for self-medication. Once you change the environment such that self-medication is no longer necessary, you forego the need for drugs or alcohol.

Let me ask you a question though as I'm curious. I've never liked the taste of alcohol. I mean, I like certain hard ciders in the same way I like drinking apple juice, but nothing more than that. Pretty much all beer tastes bitter. What is it about alcohol that people like? What does it feel like to drink alcohol and enjoy it?

Congrats you're pregnant. No shit, this often happens to preg women, drinking, smoking and other unhealthy inputs get a 'reverse craving' treatment by the body.

Most of the stuff thst you eat is the result of some kind of germ microbe process.

Butter yogurt. Chocolate, salami.

Some of these germs are good for you, so when you smell them your body tells you they are safe by making you hungry. Like pepperoni for example.

When it's not, you gag. Like rotten food and e. Colli infested food.

Animals thst van stomach these though, don't gag. They find the smell appetising. Like coyotes. When they smell rotten flesh they get hungry.

Alcohol too, is the result of some fermentation and it has to do with genes as well. If your parents like alcohol, chances are you will too, if not chances ate you won't either.

Alcohol is fermented fruit that is only semi harmful.

Most people train themselves to enjoy it.

They think the average alcohol enjoyer dresses up in a suit.

They think fermented fruit should cost hundreds of dollars.

They think they are cultured when they like one wine but not the other and of course the expensive one always tastes better.

They think they have to celebrate important stuff of their lives by drinking fermented fruit. .

They brag about the volumes of fermented fruit they can consume.

They drink fermented fruit and scream wooohoo because it somehow makes them fun.

They drink some of this fermented fruit in a specific manner.. Like tequila where you have a dumb small ritual where you need to eat an orange peel and lick sugar from your hand.

God humanity is so fucking retarded.

You want to get drunk, just smoke a bit of weed.

It's cheaper, mire efficient, costs less and doesn't get you fat.

I can only drink american whiskey / bourbon or german beer from germany itself. The rest of the american shit including wine makes me severely ill.

You may find

caffeine and alcohol are both processed by the liver it could be a subconcious reaction, could also be gut microbes guy i know cant have caffeine at all due to his gut bacteria getting fucked, some kind of liver disease is also on the table.

My cravings fell off a few years ago and id drink off and on and the gaps between drinking and not would grow and the amounts decrease. Now its not a craving anymore, every few montha i may have aome then just feel bloated and shitty the next day so it doesnt ever take hold again.
