I really enjoy the mellowing out effect but I have that crappy East Asian gene (or lack of specific genes?) that can’t process alcohol so I turn red and get headaches right away. You guys will have to drink for me.
they lobby against weed in the usa so if you’re living here maybe don’t
Weed won’t grant me an early death.
Don’t worry, I’m drinking enough for several people so it evens out.
If you’re a millennial like I am, I feel like we’re the Atlas for the alcohol industry, lmao.
You and me both!
And my axe!
Hit em where it hurts, cut alcohol, sugar, fat foods, …
Be healthy AND make em squirm? Count me in.
I bet it’s been replaced by the Devils lettuce (in the US at least).
Honestly so much cheaper too (at least in Michigan).
Shits too expensive lol
Making your own is easy and dirt cheap.
Yeah, we all gotta pick up the pace. It’s not gonna drink itself.
I’m doing my part!
I finna grip n’ sip
I make a mean Manhattan. Dubonnet instead of vermouth, and drunken cherries. Just enough Dubonnet to change the whiskey’s colour
This is a very serious problem. The next generation is going to grow up and be super lame. The coolness gap is a serious threat to our nation al security.
By that metric, I had to stop drinking because I was way too fucking cool all the time 😄
Coming up on 9 years in roughly a month and a half 🥳
It’s ok brother just like we all get vaccines in part to protect those who can’t, so too will we aspire to backfill the alcoholic coolness in solidarity with those who are unable to contribute themselves. For England.
Luckily, tasty nonalcoholic beer now exists, so I’ll toast to that! 🍻
I’m not sober, but I have tried some NA beers, and they’re surprisingly good. I have also tried some of the old ones that were pretty nasty. I don’t really know why the old ones were bad, or how we now have good ones, but it’s nice to see.
yeah but more people are using weeds and other shi now so I think it balances out
Does that mean the price of liquor is gonna drop? Cause NOT SO FAR.
Other way around. Modern capitalism dictates that as sales drop, prices must rise so profits can remain the same or continue increasing.
Probably, yeah, because as the casuals drop out, only hardcores will remain, and they are frankly willing / compelled to pay more. So they will.
LINE GO UP

Yeah about that… nothing modern about it. That’s what it was supposed to be by the old observations when people had actual scarcity of … wheat and corn or whatever.
It doesn’t work for alcohol today. There are still people doing moonshine brew because it can’t get cheap enough. The demand will never reach a bottom nor a peak.
It’s layers of markets. If you can’t sell your shit brew at “market price” you can always dump the price and reach a new market of bottom feeders or go the other way and pay influencer to make a silly drinking game to make artificial scarcity in the upper market.
There’s always enough supply and demand that everything is possible.
With fewer people smoking, the price of cigs sure didn’t drop.
Now that… That is interesting man. I’ve never thought about that.
But WHY?!
Most of the cost is production and taxes. If demand falls, production resources (land etc) are diverted to more profitable crops. This makes supply fall until prices reach a new equilibrium.
Taxes then add a fixed offset to that.
I mostly use alcohol to desinfect equipment since it’s a cell poison.
With the world going to shit, drinking helps. Something will kill you sooner or later.
Then why not something special like heroin or meth? Go out with a bang and all. Or reject reality and do LSD, DMT or shrooms? Alcohol is so basic, smh…
Yeah, I like weed and shrooms, but they’re super illegal where I live now, I fortunately.
We can get LSD by mail in Canada now, It’s cheap and the quality is amazing.
I don’t even have alcohol at home anymore.
I switched to heroin years ago.
Highly recommended.
Christopher injecting it into his foot on the sopranos is burnt into my brain
Pfft that’s rookie stuff
Alcohol kind of sucks compared to other drugs. Anything alcohol does something else does a lot better with less liver damage.
