    For those of you who drink, what is the ONE thing you'd rather have instead of alcohol if offered at a party or social gathering? Me -- cheese...i must have been a mouse in a prior life...

      Ya probably weed. Eddibles are always good but only in tiny doses for me. I prefer a joint or a dry herb vaporizer as I can better and more comfortably control my dose. Eddible highs last to long for me and cause paranoia sometimes. Smokeing does to sometimes but its less likely. Cbd is also good to mix with thc , it mellows out the high a bit for me. I'm a big fan of microdosing! The only problem with cannabis is that its not legal everywhere yet. A Virgin pina colada would also be nice! Or just some iced tea or lemon water.

    I stick to 1 to 2 drinks a night. Maybe 3 to 4 times a week usually closer to 2 or 3. On the weekends, like once or twice a month I might drink more one night like 5 or 6 beers or 4 glasses of wine with a shot or 2 at a party. If I drink whiskey I usually sip it neat as a dpubble shot only 1. I think I do alright I also have weeks here and there where I dont drink at all or just don't have the desire. Thanks for the video!

    Ran here after being called an "alarmist" and "worst kind of gate keeper" for giving this very information in a post on a mommy group on fb. ha! It is crazy how little this information is known, that people are shocked to learn that a standard pour for a glass of wine is 5 oz. (and believe that this is up for debate when looking at the research around problematic drinking), and how people will fight tooth an nail to convince others and themselves that they do not have a problem. You explained this with much more grace. Taking notes so that it may be better received next time.

      @@tommac21 This was two years ago, so I do not recall what source I was referring to at the time, but this is also information that I need to know for the work that I do. But absolutely, if someone showed me good peer reviewed research that says something is good for a person, then I can change my views on something. TH-cam has both good information and bad. Sometimes I will see things that I know line up with other research that I have seen, but I think that the person on a you tube video found a way to communicate things more compelling ways or ways that help others understand a concept.

    I am 41 weeks sober. I’m a 45 year old mom of two, (8 and 7 years old). What started out as a glass of wine after work evolved into a bottle (sometimes more) of wine everyday. I’d pick up a bottle on my way to get my kids from school, knowing once we were home, I was safe to drink. By the time my husband got home from work, I was already buzzed. I now drink approx 4 liters of water per day instead!

    Love the Video! Just wanted to add a few things. Medical/physical problems from alcohol also includes inflammation in the skin and joints which effects how you look as well as your ability to exercise. And also gut health as alcohol acidity can harm a healthy gut biome. As far as standards drinks go, a 12 oz beer has to be 5% alcohol (equates to .6 oz of pure alcohol). If you drink a pint (16 oz) of a 7% beer, you've actually had more like 2 drinks. A 5 oz glass of wine has to be 12% ABV, and a 1.5 oz shot of liquor would need to be 80 proof (40% ABV). Last, I find it interesting that the most popular drinks - beer and wine - are so watered down. That's because pure alcohol will kill you. It's poison. Not sure who came up with the idea that up to 14 weekly servings of watered down poison was considered "OK" but I know that wasn't the reason for you video.
