Alcohol is so culturally embedded in West the replies here are so sad. Alcohol is poison and it fucks up kidney, liver and brain. Sets cortisol base levels higher and perpetuates a habit in such a way that, you HAVE to drink to feel normal and relaxed. This cycle perpetuates and you associate alcohol with relaxation all the while alcohol is imposing higher and higher tax on you.

It is like a robber - robbing $100 when you are sleeping and giving $50 when you visit them. Its the unawareness that you are being robbed of hundred makes him look like a good guy.

note: I do not mind your downvote.. but if you are downvoting - please schedule a bloodwork and take a look at your numbers.

then don't drink and live a better life than anybody else.

animals enjoy alcohol too[1], it's not simply cultural and it's not a "west only" thing.

> all the while alcohol is imposing higher and higher tax on you.

assuming it's true, I very much prefer the alcohol tax than the 80 hours work week and only 7 days/year of holidays tax

How do you know if someone is a teetotaler?

Don't worry they'll tell you.
