Everything you said is so true. I've been on the wagon for 10 years, 5 months and 2 days. (A true alky will always remember his last day!). All my greatest mistakes were a result of booze. It takes at least a year to get to a point where you no longer miss it, but after that monkey is off your back, your life gets so much better.
Rock on brother 👍 I gave up alcohol 11 years ago and I don’t mis it at all. Everything you said about it is true. Authorities keep it on the market due to its addictive and destructive nature. It’s called spirits for a good reason.
“Authorities” keep it legal because it’s a valuable taxable commodity. All you need to make liquor is yeast and fire. People are lazy, so distilleries exist.
My next door neighbor was a jailer with the Sheriffs department. I was talking about inmates undergoing heroin withdrawal and he said alcohol withdrawal was much more dangerous and they often had to call an ambulance for drunks.
I have finally decided to stop drinking. I am now at the end of day four. Have not gone this long without a drink for perhaps 5 years. I can't moderate myself, start drinking early everyday but what was worse is that although I can usually keep myself under control. Anytime there is a party or dinner with friends or the like I always take it too far. Talk a lot of shit, can be rude or antagonistic (even to strangers), fall all over the place or throw up. Happened again last Thursday and happens every couple of weeks. I've just had enough. Can't do it to my wife anymore nor continue to let my kids see me like that. Enough is enough. I'm done. Just at the beginning here but it is different this time. I am deadly serious.
The best argument against it, which you basically nailed, is that alcohol is always a net negative, in the long term. Any positive short term results are eventually outweighed by the enormously powerful negatives. Just some of the negatives that come to mind: broken relationships, dysfunctional parenting, ruined or hindered careers, legal troubles, etc. We would all be better off if we saw alcohol for what it really is and what it does. (And this is coming from someone who is not a teetotaler, or some overly judgmental moralist.)
Alcohol is weird. It's an indirect stimulant meaning that while it is mainly a CNS depressant, it also stimulates dopamine secretion. Ever notice how at the beginning of a drinking session the excitement is high and everyone is having a good time? That's the initial "high". As the party goes on you drink more and more chasing that initial buzz and excitement, but you never quite get there. You just get drunker and drunker in the quest for more dopamine. Its why so many are unable to regulate their drinking to a moderate amount. They're unknowingly chasing dopamine. Studies have shown that men secrete more dopamine in response to alcohol than women, which is why men are less able to moderate and more likely to end up with alcohol related problems.
As someone with an addictive personality, and a former drug abuser, I can say that going the way of substance abuse is a dangerous path. Because addiction problems run in my family, I have taught my son (17 years old) to remember how much fun he had as a kid without substances; and that as an adult you have to find new creative ways to keep having fun. All the joy and fun is still stored inside, but it takes more and more work to get it to the surface as we learn more of the sinful nature that lurks in all mankind. Jesus said to be like children, which I think he meant as in faith towards our Fathers and Mothers, but I also think his words also apply here: Have fun, good, creative, clean fun. The Joy of the Lord is my strength!
@@Sanemancured What is religion anyway, can you put it in a bottle ? can you purchase it somewhere ? I'm not sure 3D trip is talking about that. Maybe the question tells more about the one who asks after all. It can go both ways ... "Are you now using illusions as your self medication ?" "Are you now using reality as your self medication ?"
in the end you'd have to admit that you never have as much fun sober than you do on drugs, you're just using wishful thinking to sooth your longing! =)
Quit drinking totally three years ago - it wasn’t a problem or anything just decided what’s the point? Empty calories and just doesn’t do anything for my life. Definitely don’t miss the hangovers
I always use to wonder where you get the cool music from for your videos, then saw your video on how you found your girl and noticed a keyboard behind you. Then it clicked, I saw keyboards in many of your video's, checked your description and found your Bandcamp. Looking forward to listening, great video btw :)
I was a heavy drinker through my 20s but the past few years since turning 30 it just doesn't have the appeal anymore. I will get a bit drunk once or twice a year but I always regret it the next day.
My drinking cost me a long term friendship to end. So been sober for nearly 7 years now because of that. I feel like a MUCH better person. Higher power is an amazing thing.

I pretty much stopped drinking when we had children. No way I wanted to wake up with a hangover and need to take care of my kids. Once in a great while I'll have one beer with food a a picnic in the summer. But, usually not.... Just does nothing for me any more.
I fell and hit my head. Needed stitches. That was my last time. Plus my weight. Plus I learned that alcohol damages the heart. It was time to get serious about my health and my life.

If it was such an honest chemical, why does it damage your memory? It is also a depressant wich affects a balanced brain chemistry negatively. With long term regular abuse it also causes wet brain. Easy explanation it damages memory related brain function in otherwise healthy people. Its been recorded in people as young as early 20s causing them to function like someone with Alzheimer's. Adding to the theory(fact) it ages you faster. I learned this in treatment. That was Oct. 2017. Its been over 5 years, I promise you on my family it gets easier and more rewarding with time. Most importantly then all that scary info, I sincerely want to congratulate you on your 89 days. That first few months is no joke, you have a very strong mind. If it was easy everyone would do it. Stay strong. 💯👊❤️
@@levi-5th Thank you for this explanation. I wondered why my memory was getting foggier and foggier. I want to stop badly and it gets hard anytime you try to stop.
Been thru so much with you living vicariously through your videos. You are a good man Casey and will always thumbs up your videos. Life is a maze of craziness and our world is off the hook, just a mess. But we are getting through it together.
I fucking love alcohol. There is nothing more fun to me then playing drinking games with my friend, going to a bar and having conversations with strangers.
I didn't drink much, maybe a beer or cocktail once or twice a week, and never with the intent to get drunk. Then I did Dry January a couple of months ago and it's made me seriously question my relationship with alcohol. Didn't expect to be craving it like that but I toughed it out. Since then I've dramatically cut down but am considering completely abstaining from it.
Alcohol is the devil. I’m like your friend you described. Recently went home to the wrong house, kept asking this old guy why he was living in my house 🥴 bloody embarrassing
Yes fermented foods, ripe Bananas and I think Burger Buns convert to alcohol, there is actually a issue with gut dysbiosis that some people are actually converting a lot of alcohol and experience a haziness drunkness throughout their life with the condition.
Good video darling! It really does boil down to ‘individuality’ what’s in our DNA, what works for one May Not work for another. But alcohol is a double edged sword; dehydrates, increases hunger…
Since I was young I could never drink alcohol. If I had a drink of wine at dinner then I immediately felt awful. It’s nice to hear that alcohol is not good for you.
thanks for the strory. I still drink wine to sober up my dissatisfaction. not a great thing i know. mainly because i've stopped drinking hard almost a year ago. by the way there is worst things to ages to fast, terribly worst things... dam'it
Movies were a go to for me with a hangover, and opiates on the weekends. I was an alcoholic for a solid 7-8 years, a divorce shook me out of it to a degree. But yeah, I did some very stupid shit drunk and it really is quite miraculous I'm still alive. I literally woke up on the street in Osaka Japan one morning, just on the dirty pavement. I'd been pounding beers the night before, I remember very little. That was just embarrassing. The PAWS (post addiction withdrawal syndrome) was brutal when I eventually did stop for a while. I was hungover for 3-4 months when I stopped drinking, that's how physically dependent I had become on alcohol. I thought I had a cold or something like that. It's incredible the lengths we go to to attempt to numb our pain. But it did seem to work for a while.
You just made me realize I have an addiction to gut fermentation. What you said about sugar fermenting in your gut when you pair it with fat makes so much sense. I don’t drink any alcohol but i find myself chasing the same fatty sugary high on a daily basis. I went carnivore for a few days eating beef and eggs and my body hated it. Humans are definitely not supposed to eat a lot of cholesterol, especially round the clock. It makes no biological sense. If you think about it, animals that you’d find while out hunting in the woods (deer, elk, etc) wouldn’t have nearly as much fat as a cow or pig. Cholesterol in saturated fat causes cancer, grains and legumes cause digestive problems, What the fuck do I eat!!!
As someone who has multiple drug addicts alcoholic family members ....meth and crack are worse trust ... Is I agree with you though I don't touch alcohol or anything mind altering I've seen how bad it can be 2 uncles dead
In my youth I discovered a hack that prevented hangovers and alcohol still sucked even without them, sober since 1991 gave up my pot habit in 1988 I preferred it to alcohol but it started to give me anxiety when I smoked it so had to give it up, don't miss it even though I enjoyed it for many years. Once you've been sober a long time you can't imagine why you would want to alter your consciousness with something.
The spirit takeover is real. The few times I've been drunk, I always had the sensation of my sober self floating just above my shoulder, watching things unfold and offering advice...
Depends on what, when and how you drink.... most of people don't know... first of all alcohol + foods = game over... beer and wine are the best if you drink the right quatity on the right period.
I can relate to your early drinking experience, wish we could hang around those days, always stayed in the same personality while drunk for some reason. Anyhow, with age I began drinking less and less. First I quit beer, because it is a manliness killer and it gives me depression. Somehow I no longer needed the amounts of alcohol to get properly drunk as before, so this is also better for my body, less motivation to drink - less alcohol in my body. Then I started regretting wasted time, because wile drunk and hungover, I could not do anything meaningful. I never thought I would go this route. When I was in my 20s, I thought I would always be a social drinker and be happy, but here I am. At this point, I only drink wine if someone offers, and it happens maybe once in 4 months. It does miracles for me, whine is my alcohol! Half of a wine glass knocks out all tiredness and stress from my head, I get lighter and happier, but not enough to cause me hungover. I may still get totally drunk twice or once a year, it is almost therapeutic, and I am totally happy with the amount I use. You like to over saturate facts, you know it. I noticed you also like to go with the extremes in limiting what you ingest, but alcohol is like sugar, you can't completely hide from it, but you have to embrace the fact, that occasional slip ups are insignificant to an already healthy body.
I've been sober two days this year. This is the most relevant topic I've heard you touch up on. I'm pretty fucked up and smoking weed and cigs. A true dopehead
I was actually a pretty bad alcoholic for the past 4 or 5 years. Been vegan for 7.5. despite being a chronic alcoholic I managed to still stay in great shape and still feel better than ever with my vegan diet. Also never really had a hangover in my life. Go superior genetics! But yeah just quit a week ago finally, and it feels good to not rely on it anymore.
VP actually giving good advice. I did the same things when I was younger. beer was a once in a while thing but it was always gross the next day. weed was the safest bet. and we did mushrooms and lsd and peyote and stuff too on occasion. but then at 24 I quit all that shit for the better. my reasoning was because I was bringing a child into the world and didn't want to give a bad example of how to be. I smoked weed every day from when I was 14 to 24. but I would never even do that stuff anymore drinking or mushrooms or lsd or weed. even though its legal where I live. funny it was illegal the whole time I smoked it. then 2 years after it was decriminalized and then in 2016 is was made legal here. funny some of my friends still smoke. and they will be flashing that shit in public and I always feel like yo keep that shit down your gonna get us arrested. because when I stopped smoking in 2006 I am stuck in that loop of time. but yes its all not good learn to be happy sober. took me a long time to figure out even what normal people do to stay entertained than smoking weed every day. most of my friends I was in highschool with I used to smoke weed with. 20 of my friends moved on to heroin. and all of them that got into herion are dead now. I used to only hang with people that smoked weed which was surrounded by other illegal drugs at the time because it was illegal too. the dealers had all the different street drugs too. If I didnt have a kid I might have even gone down the path of my friends and died as well.
Thanks for the humor 😆🙏🏼 I think the number one runner of lives is sugar, that means alcohol and yes that means also fruits and fruit juices (sorry). Also if your gonna have the fruit, I am under the impression that it is better to just eat some fruit, fruit juices are just eating all the sugar content of many fruit at the same time spiking insulin like crazy, I love them but I think they are as bad as alcohol, maybe worse because you think they are actually helpful/healthy. I mean, we know alcohol if had should be had in moderation and that it can be addictive, but juice? Same thing applies but ppl think it’s good for them(me included at one point). Cheers!
Hi Kasey. You make great points. Have you ever heard of Vinia? It’s resverotrol in a capsule. It’s produced by a Canadian company (Bioharvest). They figured out a way to grow the cells that create the molecule without growing the plant.
what about the monkeys that wait for the fruit to ferment before they consume it. so they can get a buzz. what about that monkey man lol hahaha luv ya bro.
Monkeys tend to eat fruits on the less ripe side as they have higher amounts of amylase in their saliva than humans they can digest starch that hasn't ripened into simple sugars easier.
I have grown to hate the stuff. I now run several times a week and you can’t do that and drink. Getting healthier just exposes how shit a regular drinking habit makes you feel all the time. I can take just one glass of wine a couple of times a week. My body can process it fast enough at that level, but more than that and the damage builds faster than you can cope with. Resting heart rate goes up, performance goes down and you are constantly tired because it ruins restorative sleep. We moved to SE Asia a few years ago from the U.K. and the contrast in alcohol drinking is stark. Now see the expat bars full of drunks and think how weird it is that we do that to ourselves. When we are children we don’t need all these chemical props to feel good and have fun.
Vodka and pancakes with maple syrup. One of my fav breakfasts. For me if i do drugs and booze I get really lazy. But if I go sober too long that laziness comes back. It the in-between state of sobering up that I am most productive. Glad you found sobriety fun. It's like if your high long enough. Being sober is the new altered state you desire.
I stopped smoking cannabis when I went on Dr Morse's detox fruit protocol. I wasn't a big smoker, a joint a week. Within two months of the detox I woke up around 4am with the burnt taste of cannabis in my mouth, and thick brown/black mucus on my tongue. This continued for weeks. Never going back.
Nyishar did a good video explaining that alcohol has never been the same since this particular law about beer in Germany some hundreds of years ago. Alcohol has been designed and engineered to have these negative effects, but it needn't. I tend to think there are probably traditional forms of gruut and other wild-yeast fermentations which are probably more beneficial than not, in the right dose.
Been off Alcohol since last June 8th on a lark to go dry for a year. Might just keep things as they are. Too many positive things keep happening. Thanks for the reinforcement and insights. Resveratrol. LOL. Raw meat? Isn't there a way to give it some cook time and still get the benefits?
A Chinese doctor told me that alcohol makes ulcerative colitis much worse, because it is a disease of heat and dampness, and alcohol is very hot in the body.
am approaching 40 and never in my life have even tried alcohol! partially cause it's forbidden in my religion not that am a religious guy but I honestly never even once felt the desire to try it and from everything I know about it as you've said it the negatives extremely outweigh the positives which is why I didn't even care to bother , but one thing i keep getting told over and over whenever someone hears how old I am they just get shocked as I don't look 39 at all some even thing am bluffing but am not sure if refrainment from alcohol is the cause or my mom good genes or perhaps both
Alcohol also has 7 calories per gram almost as much as pure fat. Then you get the munchies and what do you end up craving? High carb and high fat foods, plus it makes it harder for your body to burn fat. It's like a triple whammy for fat gain.
When your palate gets more refined, you might try the rare delicacy Boone's Farm- We are approaching a lack of reality in the world....the world is up for interpretation and marked down in price.
Haven't watched the video yet. I seldomly drink. Maybe once or twice a year and usually a beer or 2 when I do. I seen the way my family has wrecked their lives. I don't believe it's genetic. I feel people grow up with it and they either become alcoholics or they have the exact reaction and want nothing to do with it.
As an ex heroin addict I can confidently say if i had been an alcoholic for the same length of time I was a heroin addict the alcohol would have had me in a worse place.
I have deleted and started this reply 4-5 times.. Truth is it is obvious you have not tried it. Fasting and clean diet, it has a hippie magic that you can only understand if you be part of it.. No matter how hard you try to explain an atheist how god exist, if one does not find god themselves, no mater what you say, will never be good enough.. and as always ignorance is bliss.. it is much better not to know how vegan hippie food makes you feel after 15 days, because then you have to choose not to do it because you crave ,sugar, milk and steaks..
This is what fascinates me most about the human race. People are so willing to trade time being alive for addiction. Time is LITERALLY living. All the time I hear people say that they are willing to live a little bit shorter life for bacon, booze, cigarettes, hard drugs, etc. Good luck with that.

@@paulcaskey If I got 1/7th\14% more life (another 10+ years) AND that life was not marred by chronic disease, then hell yes, I'd give up salt, sugar, processed food, alcohol, etc and be out hiking and playing with my great grandchildren in my 90's and 100's while other people dropped dead. The joke is once I gave it up, I'd realize how differently food tastes when my taste buds aren't overstimulated and I can actually taste food.
I don't agree that you become another person on alcohol but you become more of your real you. It shows your inside ! It's an amplifier! The other thing that it could give possibility for entities to poses you, yeah it coul be something behind it. If I remember alcohol means something like spirit!
Lol I know what you mean about prune cramps. I drank some prune jiuce and took cascara sagrada and a few hours later I had an intestinal cramp so bad that it laid me out! It was so painful it made me puke and I had to lie down. My wife said I was a pale grey lol!

Yes fermented foods, ripe Bananas and I think Burger Buns convert to alcohol, there is actually a issue with gut dysbiosis that some people are actually converting a lot of alcohol and experience a haziness drunkness throughout their life with the condition.
Good video darling! It really does boil down to ‘individuality’ what’s in our DNA, what works for one May Not work for another. But alcohol is a double edged sword; dehydrates, increases hunger…
Since I was young I could never drink alcohol. If I had a drink of wine at dinner then I immediately felt awful. It’s nice to hear that alcohol is not good for you.
not the kind of girl guys wanted to hang out with, were you? =)
@@sunlit777 I was fortunate.
thanks for the strory. I still drink wine to sober up my dissatisfaction. not a great thing i know. mainly because i've stopped drinking hard almost a year ago. by the way there is worst things to ages to fast, terribly worst things... dam'it
I have a serious question. Are you afraid of dying? I love your content. Have a Great Week V.P. ❤
Movies were a go to for me with a hangover, and opiates on the weekends. I was an alcoholic for a solid 7-8 years, a divorce shook me out of it to a degree. But yeah, I did some very stupid shit drunk and it really is quite miraculous I'm still alive. I literally woke up on the street in Osaka Japan one morning, just on the dirty pavement. I'd been pounding beers the night before, I remember very little. That was just embarrassing.
The PAWS (post addiction withdrawal syndrome) was brutal when I eventually did stop for a while. I was hungover for 3-4 months when I stopped drinking, that's how physically dependent I had become on alcohol. I thought I had a cold or something like that. It's incredible the lengths we go to to attempt to numb our pain. But it did seem to work for a while.
You just made me realize I have an addiction to gut fermentation. What you said about sugar fermenting in your gut when you pair it with fat makes so much sense. I don’t drink any alcohol but i find myself chasing the same fatty sugary high on a daily basis. I went carnivore for a few days eating beef and eggs and my body hated it. Humans are definitely not supposed to eat a lot of cholesterol, especially round the clock. It makes no biological sense. If you think about it, animals that you’d find while out hunting in the woods (deer, elk, etc) wouldn’t have nearly as much fat as a cow or pig. Cholesterol in saturated fat causes cancer, grains and legumes cause digestive problems, What the fuck do I eat!!!
fruit, vegetables. raw. that works for me. try that for a few weeks
Vegetable drunk got some good stories
As someone who has multiple drug addicts alcoholic family members ....meth and crack are worse trust ... Is I agree with you though I don't touch alcohol or anything mind altering I've seen how bad it can be 2 uncles dead
In my youth I discovered a hack that prevented hangovers and alcohol still sucked even without them, sober since 1991 gave up my pot habit in 1988 I preferred it to alcohol but it started to give me anxiety when I smoked it so had to give it up, don't miss it even though I enjoyed it for many years. Once you've been sober a long time you can't imagine why you would want to alter your consciousness with something.
The spirit takeover is real. The few times I've been drunk, I always had the sensation of my sober self floating just above my shoulder, watching things unfold and offering advice...
Depends on what, when and how you drink.... most of people don't know... first of all alcohol + foods = game over... beer and wine are the best if you drink the right quatity on the right period.
I can relate to your early drinking experience, wish we could hang around those days, always stayed in the same personality while drunk for some reason. Anyhow, with age I began drinking less and less. First I quit beer, because it is a manliness killer and it gives me depression. Somehow I no longer needed the amounts of alcohol to get properly drunk as before, so this is also better for my body, less motivation to drink - less alcohol in my body. Then I started regretting wasted time, because wile drunk and hungover, I could not do anything meaningful. I never thought I would go this route. When I was in my 20s,
I thought I would always be a social drinker and be happy, but here I am. At this point, I only drink wine if someone offers, and it happens maybe once in 4 months. It does miracles for me, whine is my alcohol! Half of a wine glass knocks out all tiredness and stress from my head, I get lighter and happier, but not enough to cause me hungover. I may still get totally drunk twice or once a year, it is almost therapeutic, and I am totally happy with the amount I use. You like to over saturate facts, you know it. I noticed you also like to go with the extremes in limiting what you ingest, but alcohol is like sugar, you can't completely hide from it, but you have to embrace the fact, that occasional slip ups are insignificant to an already healthy body.
Sounds like great times! You’ve inspired me to start drinking!!! Cheers!!! 🍺🥃🍸
“You might as well drink 12 beers…
do it!”
😂
I've been sober two days this year. This is the most relevant topic I've heard you touch up on. I'm pretty fucked up and smoking weed and cigs. A true dopehead
I think maybe I do it is because I feel lonely without the spirits. They make me feel warm inside, in a good way
I was actually a pretty bad alcoholic for the past 4 or 5 years. Been vegan for 7.5. despite being a chronic alcoholic I managed to still stay in great shape and still feel better than ever with my vegan diet. Also never really had a hangover in my life. Go superior genetics! But yeah just quit a week ago finally, and it feels good to not rely on it anymore.
Right on man! Day 10 for me, we got this!
nice ball earth logo.
VP actually giving good advice. I did the same things when I was younger. beer was a once in a while thing but it was always gross the next day. weed was the safest bet. and we did mushrooms and lsd and peyote and stuff too on occasion. but then at 24 I quit all that shit for the better. my reasoning was because I was bringing a child into the world and didn't want to give a bad example of how to be. I smoked weed every day from when I was 14 to 24. but I would never even do that stuff anymore drinking or mushrooms or lsd or weed. even though its legal where I live. funny it was illegal the whole time I smoked it. then 2 years after it was decriminalized and then in 2016 is was made legal here. funny some of my friends still smoke. and they will be flashing that shit in public and I always feel like yo keep that shit down your gonna get us arrested. because when I stopped smoking in 2006 I am stuck in that loop of time. but yes its all not good learn to be happy sober. took me a long time to figure out even what normal people do to stay entertained than smoking weed every day. most of my friends I was in highschool with I used to smoke weed with. 20 of my friends moved on to heroin. and all of them that got into herion are dead now. I used to only hang with people that smoked weed which was surrounded by other illegal drugs at the time because it was illegal too. the dealers had all the different street drugs too. If I didnt have a kid I might have even gone down the path of my friends and died as well.
Thanks for the humor 😆🙏🏼
I think the number one runner of lives is sugar, that means alcohol and yes that means also fruits and fruit juices (sorry). Also if your gonna have the fruit, I am under the impression that it is better to just eat some fruit, fruit juices are just eating all the sugar content of many fruit at the same time spiking insulin like crazy, I love them but I think they are as bad as alcohol, maybe worse because you think they are actually helpful/healthy. I mean, we know alcohol if had should be had in moderation and that it can be addictive, but juice? Same thing applies but ppl think it’s good for them(me included at one point).
Cheers!
i stopped drinking. now i just do IV vodka. stomach has never been better... or i might just be drunk
Best vid in TH-cam, no lie , top 10 best for sure
Hi Kasey. You make great points. Have you ever heard of Vinia? It’s resverotrol in a capsule. It’s produced by a Canadian company (Bioharvest). They figured out a way to grow the cells that create the molecule without growing the plant.
I 💯% love your vid today!
Thank you i finally quit alcohol today i been on a 15 year streak you are ny savor
what about the monkeys that wait for the fruit to ferment before they consume it. so they can get a buzz. what about that monkey man lol hahaha luv ya bro.
The birds falling out of the trees when the hard little Bradford pears start to ferment 😄, I've seen riots
Monkeys tend to eat fruits on the less ripe side as they have higher amounts of amylase in their saliva than humans they can digest starch that hasn't ripened into simple sugars easier.
I have grown to hate the stuff. I now run several times a week and you can’t do that and drink. Getting healthier just exposes how shit a regular drinking habit makes you feel all the time. I can take just one glass of wine a couple of times a week. My body can process it fast enough at that level, but more than that and the damage builds faster than you can cope with. Resting heart rate goes up, performance goes down and you are constantly tired because it ruins restorative sleep. We moved to SE Asia a few years ago from the U.K. and the contrast in alcohol drinking is stark. Now see the expat bars full of drunks and think how weird it is that we do that to ourselves. When we are children we don’t need all these chemical props to feel good and have fun.
Vodka and pancakes with maple syrup. One of my fav breakfasts. For me if i do drugs and booze I get really lazy. But if I go sober too long that laziness comes back. It the in-between state of sobering up that I am most productive. Glad you found sobriety fun. It's like if your high long enough. Being sober is the new altered state you desire.
9:08 "slippery" 😂 perfect
Bloody hilarious 😆
Not a coincidence its called SPIRITS...27 yrs no alcohol for me
I can tell from my own experience that the safest drug to take when seeking relief from depression and whatnot is cannabis.
I stopped smoking cannabis when I went on Dr Morse's detox fruit protocol. I wasn't a big smoker, a joint a week. Within two months of the detox I woke up around 4am with the burnt taste of cannabis in my mouth, and thick brown/black mucus on my tongue. This continued for weeks. Never going back.
@@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw blimey, interesting
@@Insp.CountMortisWinshipKlaw I don't recommend anyone smoking because it's bad for your lungs regardless if it's tobacco or cannabis. I do edibles.
I have never drank alcohol (at least not more than a sip) in the 32 years of my life.
Nyishar did a good video explaining that alcohol has never been the same since this particular law about beer in Germany some hundreds of years ago. Alcohol has been designed and engineered to have these negative effects, but it needn't. I tend to think there are probably traditional forms of gruut and other wild-yeast fermentations which are probably more beneficial than not, in the right dose.
I think you forgot the "drink this instead" part of the video
Water or tea
I loved your epic battles with dr now 🥴👍
Ahhhh.... the days of wine and roses
People have been drinking beer for at least 10k years. longer than wine.
Been off Alcohol since last June 8th on a lark to go dry for a year. Might just keep things as they are. Too many positive things keep happening. Thanks for the reinforcement and insights. Resveratrol. LOL. Raw meat? Isn't there a way to give it some cook time and still get the benefits?
You went on a bird??? HOW DARE YOU!?!?! Just kidding, congratulations on your success!
@@TheSaltyExplorer They don't mind going on us flying overhead! Payback time
A Chinese doctor told me that alcohol makes ulcerative colitis much worse, because it is a disease of heat and dampness, and alcohol is very hot in the body.
confirmed
Well done! I quit alcohol too! Just a conscious decision :)
Wow, Thnkxz for this great idea to sharing experiences and why you stop anything , LolololoL live blogging woo whoo
i am under the impression Canadians are naturally happy and dont drink or do drugs.
I can’t remember the last time I drank…literally, I blacked out. Never again.
am approaching 40 and never in my life have even tried alcohol! partially cause it's forbidden in my religion not that am a religious guy but I honestly never even once felt the desire to try it and from everything I know about it as you've said it the negatives extremely outweigh the positives which is why I didn't even care to bother , but one thing i keep getting told over and over whenever someone hears how old I am they just get shocked as I don't look 39 at all some even thing am bluffing but am not sure if refrainment from alcohol is the cause or my mom good genes or perhaps both
That's so funny the dancing at the start ha ha ha
Alcohol also has 7 calories per gram almost as much as pure fat. Then you get the munchies and what do you end up craving? High carb and high fat foods, plus it makes it harder for your body to burn fat. It's like a triple whammy for fat gain.
You make so much sense, and at other times not. My escape was junk food and TV.
When your palate gets more refined, you might try the rare delicacy Boone's Farm- We are approaching a lack of reality in the world....the world is up for interpretation and marked down in price.
Haven't watched the video yet. I seldomly drink. Maybe once or twice a year and usually a beer or 2 when I do. I seen the way my family has wrecked their lives. I don't believe it's genetic. I feel people grow up with it and they either become alcoholics or they have the exact reaction and want nothing to do with it.
hot sake bro. no hang over, drink at lunch, wait and eat to sober up. no downside.
As an ex heroin addict I can confidently say if i had been an alcoholic for the same length of time I was a heroin addict the alcohol would have had me in a worse place.
That is a hilarious comment
@@dealman3312 It's pretty ironically honestly.
So... no alcohol, no salt, no coffee, no garlic? That's not living, that's surviving. Quality of life over quantity.
I have deleted and started this reply 4-5 times..
Truth is it is obvious you have not tried it.
Fasting and clean diet, it has a hippie magic that you can only understand if you be part of it..
No matter how hard you try to explain an atheist how god exist, if one does not find god themselves, no mater what you say, will never be good enough..
and as always ignorance is bliss.. it is much better not to know how vegan hippie food makes you feel after 15 days, because then you have to choose not to do it because you crave ,sugar, milk and steaks..
This is what fascinates me most about the human race. People are so willing to trade time being alive for addiction. Time is LITERALLY living. All the time I hear people say that they are willing to live a little bit shorter life for bacon, booze, cigarettes, hard drugs, etc. Good luck with that.
@@davewallack Imagine you had a week at Disney World. They offer you an extra day, but in exchange you have to spend the entire week in your room. Would you take it?
@@paulcaskey If I got 1/7th\14% more life (another 10+ years) AND that life was not marred by chronic disease, then hell yes, I'd give up salt, sugar, processed food, alcohol, etc and be out hiking and playing with my great grandchildren in my 90's and 100's while other people dropped dead. The joke is once I gave it up, I'd realize how differently food tastes when my taste buds aren't overstimulated and I can actually taste food.
@@davewallack Bacon won't kill you what nonsense. Your time is short anyway because a non human race capped us with Telemores.
You didn’t talk about how broke alcohol leaves you too . The stuffs expensive . A lot of people that drink , also smoko . Slippery slope indeed
I don't agree that you become another person on alcohol but you become more of your real you. It shows your inside ! It's an amplifier! The other thing that it could give possibility for entities to poses you, yeah it coul be something behind it. If I remember alcohol means something like spirit!
So true 👍
I dig you as much as Marcel the Shell with Shoes.
algol is the name of a japanese demon i think,
who is fun to be around in the beginning but then sneakily tries to kill later.
Next week from VP: I was wrong! Alcohol rocks!
Noted!
“Don’t eat prunes and drive”
Got it, no more fruit smoothie in the morning. Switching to a 12 pack. Haha jk
Lol I know what you mean about prune cramps. I drank some prune jiuce and took cascara sagrada and a few hours later I had an intestinal cramp so bad that it laid me out! It was so painful it made me puke and I had to lie down. My wife said I was a pale grey lol!
I hate how mushrooms are such a taboo when in fact its way less dangerous than eating in mcdonalds.
Purines (meat)+fructose (fruit)= GOUT. Remember those fun days?
Casey is a good spirit .
I quit Alcohol a while ago... I do Shrooms now instead which is unprocessed and much healthier of course.
