@@RobertSmith-lq4kj so you have never misspoken before when giving a speech or presentation? Aren’t you special? Of course the doctor knows what the right answer is.
@@stantonthorne Every time the little head in my voice tempted me to drink (which happened within the first 2 years before disappearing completely), I simply reeled off all the negative things about alcohol. The urge soon passed.
@@scottashe984I quit drinking every Saturday, then another Saturday comes and the gators lose and there I am passed out on the couch in my underwear with my shoes still on somehow😂🤷♂️
Actually, a large study done in the past couple of years, found that ANY amount of alcohol can CAUSE cancers! That doesn't even touch on the damage to the brain, heart, liver & other organs. Alcohol is poison.
everything is relative and subjective and dependant on genetics so we can't generalize about most things humans do...some people live into their 80's and 90's drinking alcohol regularly and even smoking cigarettes and some are dead due to alcohol before they are 50...the reasoning people use for quitting alcohol is futile because there are so many cases which go against their assertions...different strokes for different folks as they say or another one is one man's food is another man's poison
8 days sober after 10 years of drinking everyday. One day at a time. Im proud my family is proud and hopefully my kids will be when the understand who i want to be after seeing who i was.
Wait I'm trying to stop now! Did you do it cold turkey? I have a script of benzos and clonidine and I'm really thinking of just trying to do it at home being a hospital stay isnt really in the cards for me. Can you tell me how you did it?
@@Elijahsmom22 honest to god I just set a goal of 1 day at a time if you can't do a day do an hour and tell someone you're close to. "Hey I'm one day sober" can help keep you feeling accomplished and accountable
Fair play guys I've never been alcoholic but I used to drink every day for years 1st thing I'd do when I got home from work was straight into the fridge and grab 2 beers I'd neck 1 straight off and then open the other I done dry for January and nobody had faith in me even my own mother laughed but my wife believed in me and I achieved it and since then I've made it a rule not to drink in the house and not to drink in the week I feel loads better and I'm bloody proud of myself too you guys stick at it you can achieve your goals if you try just take 1 day at a time
@@Optim40pointing out someone's mistake is immaturity now? Poor snowflakes like you can't accept criticism so you get all offended, coming up with nonsense 🤡
I drank a number of times in high school just so I would fit in with my peers. I never could control it and would almost always drink too much and make myself sick. When I was 25, I got wasted and extremely sick. Hangover took almost 48 hours to recover from. Promised myself I would never get drunk again after that. 56 now and kept my promise. Haven't been drunk since 1993. In fact, I don't drink period. Can't even remember the last time I had anything alcoholic and have zero desire for it.
“Your liver only burns off 1 oz of alcohol per hour, I just drank 5 oz of liquor, that means after 1 hour, I’ll still have 5 oz of liquor left in my system.” Try to convince me he’s drinking water.
Yes 5 ounces Minus 1 ounce an hour Equals 5 ounces Meth kids. Dont do it. Just drink an ounce of alcohol and after an hour you'll have three and a half ounces.
@@pcwildcatbro my uncle Cedric was the only guy who ever said that to me 😂😂😂 that’s so funny. “ He who sleep with itchy butt, wake up with… STANKYY FINGAAAAA “ haha
Blew-out my liver from years of drinking. My belly looked like I was pregnant-- grew really big over 3-days (acites), my legs swelled like elephant legs, and my skin was turning yellow in my face. Doc's said I almost died in the hospital twice during 8-days of emergency care. Came an inch close to needing a liver transplant and I still may need one if it goes "south" again. Have be tested several times a year now, no alcohol at all, medication and a modified diet. No fun. It snuck up on me. I had no warning at all until the fast swelling and yellowing. Be careful.
@@melissamoonchild9216 The oldest known person in the world who died recently was a woman in Russia who was a hard-liquor alcoholic. My docs said that not every alcoholic develops life-threatening cirrhosis. Some liver damage? yes, but not life-threatening. For me it's different. They did a genetic test on me and I have 2 messed up genes which causes my liver to react much more poorly to alcohol than some other's.
@@Wagga-mt6cx A hangover is not even remotely a warning sign. A hangover is normal. What my docs consider warning signs are rapid belly bloating (ascites) over 1-3 days, gross swelling of the legs during that same time, jaundice, and acute mental confusion (even during sober period, caused by a damaged liver not clearing certain toxins from the blood and those toxins (usually ammonia) reaching the brain. And of course liver pain. So, previous to 3-days before going to the hospital I did not have ANY of those symptoms. They educated me on all the above. A hangover has NOTHING to do with being a warning sign of liver disease. In fact just the opposite. Early stage drinkers often get hangovers. Seasoned alcoholics do not usually get hangovers anymore.
@nicholastsironis1514 Well... duh. But do you know how stupid that sounds? Millions of people drink far more than I ever did each day and don't blow-out their liver like mine did. And social drinkers live their entire life without significant liver damage. Drinking is not the problem. Abuse, length of abuse, diet, insufficient pre-damage medical care and genetics is the problem.
💥ATTENTION 💥 To all the critic's. FYI, this neurosurgeon lost his son due to alcolhol. Im sire the only reason he makes videos on thos topic is hoping that maybe this information may help save AT LEAST one life. This topic, these videos can not be easy for him to make. Overcome your childish side. Always add that extra hour that most you think is funny, it may save your life or life of a loved one.
I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got to alcohol and cigarettes. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Predroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
@@nathanielovaughn2145yes excellent point. The bad things do not go away you just stop caring about them. Those that care about you eventually stop caring too. Kills your anxiety only to have it come back ten fold. So then you drink more to stabilize and get through the day that you can get off and get drunk again. I lived this for a long time and it's a painful road.
I've noticed no matter what I drink, if I take it slow and pace myself, I have a lot more fun and feel better both during and in the morning. Sippin is the way Edit: Great to see the healthy conversation. Some great advice about how to do it safe and cost effective. Really appreciate it seeing something like this.
Pacing, pairing with an equal amount of water (a pint of water per pint of beer) and quality snacks to nibble on are my go-to. Still pacing well at 75!
In college (chemical engineer) we built an analytical model to imitate the human body and confirmed the rate of metabolism is actually this slow or slower, depending on some variables. Regardless of how much coffee, water, food you intake, you cannot change how fast your body metabolizes alcohol.
No, not all drugs do not potentiate another drug, potentiate means increase the potency of. Caffeine neither enhances nor reduces the effects of alcohol.
Young people need to hear this and understand this! Too many alcohol related deaths…..just by over consumption not to mention accidents.!! Is it worth it to risk your lives as well as others?
If you drink at the same rate as you’re metabolizing it, then you’re not getting drunk and overworking your liver and wasting alcohol. I always like to have about 4-5 unmetabolized ounces in my bloodstream for best results!
@@mattg4836I swear that’s what I do😂 I get just drunk enough to be drunk but not too drunk. And in a good drunk too I’m fine when I drink which makes it even better 😂
He has one of those "squat to pee" livers. We ( old booze hounds) have " hey !watch me piss plum over this truck" livers. Hardy stock is what we are descendants of. A toast to you good Sir. Have another round
The man is giving you a great deal of life saving advice here. Having your liver fail is no joke. The terrible things that happen to people when the liver fails I wouldn’t wish on anyone. My husband was an alcoholic who drank every day all day. This kind of death is slow and very painful. It’s devastating to your family as well but alcoholic are some of the most selfish people in the world. No one or nothing is more important than the drinking. 😢
I wish I could dislike this comment 25 times! They arent selfish, they are HURTING! And the ONLY way they know how to relieve the pain is through self-medication. Only selfish people worry more about themselves than the person drinking themselves to death!
To be honest, the speed with which alcohol hits is the point. As a high functioning alcoholic in a very stressful profession, I definitely want that rapid relief from stress and anxiety. After the alcohol hits, I can finally breathe. I know exactly what I am doing and why. It's not just an addiction, it's a choice.
I just quit alcohol & cigarettes 2 weeks ago. Every time I tried to quit my body would react adversely.... So I got sick with "the crud" & had to go to the hospital. I ended up with the flu & pneumonia & had to be admitted into the hospital for a week. I used that opportunity to quit. I had prayed daily for a long time to get sober completely. By The Grace Of God.... Here I am. ❤😌🙌💯🔥👑☝️ If you are struggling.... Start praying and repenting. God/ Jesus will answer you.
Apart from the clearly bad maths the Doc hasn’t corrected in the video, this is something printed on alcoholic beverages here in Australia. I don’t know if it is so in the US but here, anything with alcohol for consumption will tell you how many “standard drinks” it contains, which equals approximately how much alcohol the average person will metabolise over a period of time.. example: say a beer here is 1.2 standard drinks, that means that drink will take the average person 1 hour and 10 minutes to metabolise that drink. 🤙
We don't have that in the US, we just drink it until the ugly girls are pretty.

Thank you for this post, I really appreciate your explanation on alcoholic beverages absorption rate! I have been drinking for decades and now I know!❤🤔
Once did a drinking contest with a friend in college. We used a chess clock, set it at 7.5 minutes on each side. We each selected a liquor ahead of time. I chose tequila, and his was Captain Morgan spiced rum. The way it worked was we would each do a shot, then hit the clock, starting the 7.5 minute timer on the other side. Then we each had to do another shot before the 7.5 minutes was up, or the chess clock would hit zero and the alarm would go off, and that person would lose. The winner would be the person who didn’t puke first. After shot 13, which was taken around the 1.5 hour mark, I threw up in one of the several buckets we had around - see, we planned ahead, because we were smart about it, lololol. A few minutes later, he threw up too. But I puked first, so he won. We had a friend who owned a video camera - this was the early 2000s before video cameras were super cheap and everyone had them - record the whole thing. And we had a sort of party planned around the contest. Years later, around 2008 or 2009, I got the VHS converted to a DVD at one of those places that did that service. So that can still be watched whenever needed. Not sure when it would be needed, but it’s there, lololol. I did point out to him - the winner that is - that his chosen liquor was 70 proof, while mine was 80 proof, so I was consuming about 14% more alcohol than him. That was something we should have standardized ahead of time. So if we do it again, that will be a stipulation. But, no interest in doing it again, just watching the video. There’s a bunch of other funny stuff in there. A neighborhood crackhead made an appearance. We each got “interviewed” by the guy wielding the camera, and some other stuff that is thankfully saved on video.
@@FilthTribeFTP 1 Peter 5:8-9 King James Version 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
@@Lizzy_333 hate to break it to ya but, you'd be hard pressed to find an actual verse that's going to be new to me. Regardless, there's always important factors that must be considered when interpreting scripture. Who said it and what was the context? It's the book of Peter, so we know it's not quoting Jesus himself, but are the words of Peter the apostle, in a letter to the then persecuted (Under Nero) Christians living across the regions of Asia. Not exactly comparable to say, The Ten Commandments or Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. In fact, the first epistle of Peter wasn't always universally recognized and some NT scholars still to this day, argue against the authorship being that of The Apostle Peter himself. But yeah, drinking wine =/= being drunk. Especially wine back then, as it took quite a bit to get noticeably intoxicated.
@@FilthTribeFTP And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ🙂✨
Great way to simply describe nonlinear metabolism. Sipping slowly over time allows the liver to “keep up”…as doc says, shots overwhelm the liver’s ability to keep up.
There is also a store of the enzyme that can help breakdown alcohol in your liver. Everyone produces different amounts at different rates. The main result of this is alcohol doesn't just have a cumulative effect, but almost more of an logarithmic effect. Where the more shots you drink the stronger each shot becomes. This effect kicks in when your liver runs out of that enzyme allowing far more alcohol to reach your bloodstream. Making each drink after this ammount (roughly 2-3 drinks for most) will result in a far stronger and longer lasting drunk then even just one shot less.
Wow, I’m struggling with alcoholism. Working on quitting. But yesterday I was trying to get drunk and felt like it was NOT working(even after good amount of wait time and 3-5 shots!) Drank a few more shots and was all of a sudden wasted. I was thinking yesterday and today, why did it take so much this time? Cool explanation!
I can’t even drink alcohol anymore, because my body doesn’t properly produce the enzyme that break down alcohol. It’s an alcohol intolerance, but i get symptoms like i’m extremely allergic. whenever i drink, i end up with a excessive buildup of ethanol in my body, which causes the body to basically go into protective overdrive. I get bright red, inflammation in my face, hands and feet. Migraines, nausea, heart palpitations. And this will happen within an hour of me having a few drinks. if i do drink, i literally have to drink super slow to allow more time for my body to break it down. At that rate, alcohol is kinda useless, it just makes me tired when i drink slow.
One thing I've heard is that, especially amongst people who have a dopaminergic response to alcohol, people only receive this dopamine response while their BAC is increasing. The moment it plateaus, the dopamine ride ends. A method for determining if you're one of these people is to drink enough shots to become intoxicated rapidly [presumably 2-4], wait 5-15 minutes and see if your face flushes. If so, you are one of these unlucky people that should heavily moderate your consumption, lest addiction creep in.
I'm trying to get sober. Unfortunately without insurance (America) I can't get help. My legs have went numb and I had seizures for 2 days when I tried to stop...I know I'm dying but I can't get help. So lately I've been just living life literally waiting to die. Addiction sucks, so does the US health system. Please support those in your life going through the same. At least I have COD lol.....
I only do 120 and I fast and meditate 3 out of 7 days and when I eat it’s usually fruits and veggies or chia seeds/oats and one day of the week is my cheat day for Sandwhich or Mexican or Indian or Thai food
But I can't live without some of that H20, yo! I neeed it, man! Come on...hook me up! What you got? Wait...is that Evian?! Oooooh that ish is gooood! Did you lace it with tapwater, though. It's not that I don't trust you but I OD'd on some Flint Michigan-tap. That ish fukced me up for weeks, man. I could only drink beer for a week!
Heart breaking when my late brother was suffering from a water addiction. He'd be drinking from the sinks and even had a gallon bottle in the fridge so he wouldn't run out after going through a case of 16oz bottles through the week. We tried to take it away from him and he kept begging for it and he said die without it. Little did he know it was the withdrawal that took his life.
PREACH IT DR H!!! 2 motorcycle deaths near me on a highway close by in the last 3 days !!!!! Help educate please !!! I don’t want my young grandkids to be statistics one day !!
Not always! i could always handle my ex-wifes nagging BETTER when i was drinking than when i was sober! As soon as we got divorced, I no longer had a reason to drink! LOL
After quitting several years ago, i remember how nice it was to be able to get in my car anytime day or night with no alcohol in my system. Such a big relief knowing I’m driving completely sober. God knows i deserved over 100 DUI’s. I knew some day my luck would run out. Fortunately never had one.
In chemistry Alcohol consumption is a zero rate equation meaning concentration is independent of absorption. Absorption is limited by the production of an enzyme in the liver hence why larger people with larger livers who produce more of the enzyme can drink more. The body weight to drinks chart. Forgot where I was going with this cause I'm drunk. Alcohol the cause and solution to all our problems.
This is why people can wake up drunk/over the alcohol limit for driving: 20 ounces of alcohol takes 20 hours to get out of your system. I used to work in a liquor store and heard too many stories of people drinking too much the night before and getting caught up the next day because they hadn't thought they were still drunk.
One time I took 2 shots of whiskey, after a while I thought I wasnt feeling it so I took another one, and it all hit me at once for some reason so I knocked out and woke up feeling discombobulated
Drinker of 16 years here and never had a bad hangover. 45 years old and age guessed at 25 regularly (I still get carded every time usually). PRO TIP: Water is your absolute best friend on a heavy night. Chug that H2O before, when and after the drinks. And I mean a LOT of water. Also helps to take some supplements like a good quality multivitamin or two before you sleep to help replenish the lost nutrients to the body from alcohol metabolizing.
When I was 16 years old, a neighbor (with his wife) would have me come over two to three times a week, and they would mix drinks and include me in drinking them. As a 16 year old I thought it was probably cool that adults were allowing me to do this, but after two or three months I feared I'd become an alcoholic because I started liking the effects how the alcohol was making me feel so I stopped drinking until I was older. I'm 60 years old now, and for years, I've thought about how the outcome could have been much different had I continued to get drunk at such a young age.
Omg. If I was your parent....you would be banned from going to that place and I would have words with couple plying you with drinks. You were 16! They don't get to give you permission! Your parents do! I love a drink, I do. But no way my child is going to an adults house for drinks. Nope
Your liver's ability to metabolize alcohol is highly varied by several variables. In a nutshell, there are two enzymes it produces, ADH and ALDH2 that break down the ethanol into other harmless chemicals. Having "tolerance" is your body producing more of these enzymes because they are useful. You can also eat pears, sweet lime and cucumbers to increase production of these. You can also combat the oxidative stress with antioxidants. There's a lot that you can do to improve all this.
Basically all things we consider drugs are poison (alcohol is a drug btw): THC and Nicotine are both pesticides, dolphins literally get high on pufferfish toxins. We like using these poisons because they change our function and we find that fun. Or because it gives a huge dopamine rush (like sugar, which is t e c h n i c a l l y a drug, or cocaine).
Your liver is there to convert anything we ingest (aspirin, vitamins, alcohol, etc) to a safer form...if it's possible. You can overdose on Benadryl or probiotics by the way. The liver is good, it just can't be overloaded.
This is the exact reason I almost died. You think you’re fine so you keep drinking, no one tells you when it all hits finally you find out how alcohol can stop your breathing. I have had friends watch me sleep before from the fear of it. Super scary kids please be safe.
12 years without a drink, well one slip. I’m 53. I never ever thought I’d quit. Went to rehab twice. Didn’t work at all but I learned something. It ruined my drinking. It ruined my conscious. Plus I got tired of going to jail for petty crap. So I quit in 2011. One slip in 2017 . 2 daqueris thank goodness I fell asleep. Woke up mad at myself. Drove all the way home from Florida. Haven’t had a drink since.
Your liver doesn't "burn off" or digest alcohol. It produces enzymes that metabolise alcohol, and it does it based on the amount of alcohol in the blood, which is based on the alcohol content of the drink not volume of the drink. Liver cells produce the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase which breaks alcohol into ketones at a rate of about 0.015 g/100mL/hour (reduces BAC by 0.015 per hour). This is also an average as everyone's body's(weight), organ health, and metabolism rates are different. So while the average rate is 1 shot, 1 beer, 1 glass of wine, per hour, you can take a 1oz shot of some alcohols that have different % of alcohol by volume. They're still the same amount of 1 oz of liquid, but are different amounts of alcohol %(proof) by volume. You have to be very clear about this as some people may say well i can drink a bottle of wine in a night and that's the same amount of liquid as a fifth of a spirit of liqueur. But the spirits and liqueur will usually have a bit more ABV.
Yes, it's not quite as cut and dry as this short is stating. To be clear he's not wrong, per se. It's a bit more complicated than that, and a person who's 300lbs and 6'5" can probably drink 5 shots and their body handle it far better than a person who's 5'5" and 125lbs. The person has a bigger liver, producing more enzymes etc. His short is more of a general rule of thumb that applies on average to the average person. Blood alcohol content is far more complex person to person and the variations from person to person is what makes the difference. It's not always if you drink 5 oz in an hour your liver only produces enough enzymes to metabolize one shot for everyone.
Nah, the metabolization speed is based on 1 standard drink per hour, and it isn't an exact science, more like a generalized rule. So like 1 beer, 1 glass of wine, 1 shot of 40% alcohol, etc. This is also ignoring genetic differences in metabolization speeds of alcohol, some people are poor metabolizers, others are hyper metabolizers. Thus, some people might be more like 0.75 standard drinks per hour, and others might be 1.5.
I had gastric bypass surgery and I cannot drink alcohol it hits me like a drug within 20 seconds. It feels like someone injected you with a drug, it's actually scary.
oh really its not like alcohol is a drug already😂 Its a pretty strong drug tbh considering it kills more people a year than every illegal drug combined. crazy how that works
This is why knowing the alcohol content of what you’re drinking is really important to pacing and drinking safely, so you can drive home safely and keep your everyone else on the road safe as well
Indeed. I also learned years ago that the body can only process 1oz of water or any liquid per hour as well. Including alcohol yes, but most people over drink everything.
Interesting. They recommend upwards of 90 oz of water per day. With your data it sounds like 12 during waking hours would make more sense. It is probably better to drink an ounce an hour instead of drinking more at one time. I fill my 32 oz mug and drink it within an hour or two. Yeah even water has to be filtered so it’s still work for organs.
@@chrismtucson5573 thanks for the kind words. I’m really struggling I feel like every time I fail I’m proverbially spitting in Gods face. I want to be better but I physically want to be drink all the time☹️. Idk when exactly I went wrong it all went to crap after getting covid, my life spun out of control .
So glad there was no alcohol in our family while growing up. No drunks, alcoholics, no worry of driving while drunk, no stinking breath in your face. ✝️✝️✝️✝️🌟
wasn't to lucky here, but also in the world, we-many encouter it and behaviors everyday, the ads, sports, parties, ..its so commonly consumed, the behaviors and evironments can isolate and assist toward locking someone straight into habits dependence. i am proud for you, stay strong. the covert violence, yeeouch! abd expected to be passive about it. Its all pointless jabber that can be avoided.its known 70% americans consume regularly(i dont know the amount consumed) but it can show that statistic is possible since most drinking is in personal space or covert. wild isnt it? stay strong judy :)
Fun fact: Alcohol is one of rhe few substances absorbed by the stomach directly into the bloodstream. About 20% is absorbed by the stomach, 80% by the smell intestine.
i relapsed after a year &7 months of sobriety. weekend bender and it just reminded me of the many bad times with it. don’t stay down for ever after the fall. you will recover 🫶
I wish they would educate college students about this. I am a limousine chauffeur and one time I had to intervene. I told a young man who was guzzling a bottle of vodka like if it was water🤦🏽♀️

I drank a number of times in high school just so I would fit in with my peers. I never could control it and would almost always drink too much and make myself sick. When I was 25, I got wasted and extremely sick. Hangover took almost 48 hours to recover from. Promised myself I would never get drunk again after that. 56 now and kept my promise. Haven't been drunk since 1993. In fact, I don't drink period. Can't even remember the last time I had anything alcoholic and have zero desire for it.
Okay.
Uhh ok

“Your liver only burns off 1 oz of alcohol per hour, I just drank 5 oz of liquor, that means after 1 hour, I’ll still have 5 oz of liquor left in my system.”

Sounds about right.
Blew-out my liver from years of drinking.
My belly looked like I was pregnant-- grew really big over 3-days (acites), my legs swelled like elephant legs, and my skin was turning yellow in my face.
Doc's said I almost died in the hospital twice during 8-days of emergency care.
Came an inch close to needing a liver transplant and I still may need one if it goes "south" again.
Have be tested several times a year now, no alcohol at all, medication and a modified diet.
No fun.
It snuck up on me. I had no warning at all until the fast swelling and yellowing.
Be careful.
the years of drinking was the warning my friend
Your warning was years of drinking. Your telling me you went all that time without a hangover?
@@melissamoonchild9216
The oldest known person in the world who died recently was a woman in Russia who was a hard-liquor alcoholic.
My docs said that not every alcoholic develops life-threatening cirrhosis. Some liver damage? yes, but not life-threatening. For me it's different. They did a genetic test on me and I have 2 messed up genes which causes my liver to react much more poorly to alcohol than some other's.
@@Wagga-mt6cx
A hangover is not even remotely a warning sign. A hangover is normal.
What my docs consider warning signs are rapid belly bloating (ascites) over 1-3 days, gross swelling of the legs during that same time, jaundice, and acute mental confusion (even during sober period, caused by a damaged liver not clearing certain toxins from the blood and those toxins (usually ammonia) reaching the brain. And of course liver pain.
So, previous to 3-days before going to the hospital I did not have ANY of those symptoms.
They educated me on all the above.
A hangover has NOTHING to do with being a warning sign of liver disease. In fact just the opposite.
Early stage drinkers often get hangovers. Seasoned alcoholics do not usually get hangovers anymore.
@nicholastsironis1514
Well... duh.
But do you know how stupid that sounds? Millions of people drink far more than I ever did each day and don't blow-out their liver like mine did.
And social drinkers live their entire life without significant liver damage.
Drinking is not the problem.
Abuse, length of abuse, diet, insufficient pre-damage medical care and genetics is the problem.

I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got to alcohol and cigarettes. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
I love hearing great life changing stories like this. I want to become a mycologist because honestly mushrooms are the best form of medicine (most especially the psychedelic ones) There are so many people today used magic mushrooms to ween off of SSRI medication- its amazing! Years back i wrote an entire essay about psychedelics. they saved you from death buddy, lets be honest here.
Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏
YES sure of mycologist Predroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.

Except the bad things come back, often in compound. The good things rarely come back.
@@nathanielovaughn2145yes excellent point. The bad things do not go away you just stop caring about them. Those that care about you eventually stop caring too. Kills your anxiety only to have it come back ten fold. So then you drink more to stabilize and get through the day that you can get off and get drunk again. I lived this for a long time and it's a painful road.

Edit: Great to see the healthy conversation. Some great advice about how to do it safe and cost effective. Really appreciate it seeing something like this.
Pacing, pairing with an equal amount of water (a pint of water per pint of beer) and quality snacks to nibble on are my go-to. Still pacing well at 75!
Yeah it’s called being less drunk… no surprise
Also, spending time with people who dislike alcohol helps reduce drinking and the negative affects associated with it.
@MartinVillagra its really not, its just a smoother way to get more drunk, easier on the kidneys
Facts that’s with everything too
This is the reason you can still be drunk the next morning (not just hung over)
In college (chemical engineer) we built an analytical model to imitate the human body and confirmed the rate of metabolism is actually this slow or slower, depending on some variables. Regardless of how much coffee, water, food you intake, you cannot change how fast your body metabolizes alcohol.
Since caffine is a drug wouldn't it make the effects stronger?
No, not all drugs do not potentiate another drug, potentiate means increase the potency of. Caffeine neither enhances nor reduces the effects of alcohol.
Young people need to hear this and understand this! Too many alcohol related deaths…..just by over consumption not to mention accidents.!! Is it worth it to risk your lives as well as others?
With better math and more details of what the damage can be. Maybe some good films of people coming into the hospital.
Yes.
pretty much, yeah
Yes
Yeah
If you drink at the same rate as you’re metabolizing it, then you’re not getting drunk and overworking your liver and wasting alcohol. I always like to have about 4-5 unmetabolized ounces in my bloodstream for best results!
Honestly

The man is giving you a great deal of life saving advice here. Having your liver fail is no joke. The terrible things that happen to people when the liver fails I wouldn’t wish on anyone. My husband was an alcoholic who drank every day all day. This kind of death is slow and very painful. It’s devastating to your family as well but alcoholic are some of the most selfish people in the world. No one or nothing is more important than the drinking. 😢
I wish I could dislike this comment 25 times! They arent selfish, they are HURTING! And the ONLY way they know how to relieve the pain is through self-medication. Only selfish people worry more about themselves than the person drinking themselves to death!
Ty . 5 MINUTES and our brains are affected in that short period of time. So glad I quit 30 years ago.
To be honest, the speed with which alcohol hits is the point. As a high functioning alcoholic in a very stressful profession, I definitely want that rapid relief from stress and anxiety. After the alcohol hits, I can finally breathe.
I know exactly what I am doing and why. It's not just an addiction, it's a choice.

Apart from the clearly bad maths the Doc hasn’t corrected in the video, this is something printed on alcoholic beverages here in Australia. I don’t know if it is so in the US but here, anything with alcohol for consumption will tell you how many “standard drinks” it contains, which equals approximately how much alcohol the average person will metabolise over a period of time.. example: say a beer here is 1.2 standard drinks, that means that drink will take the average person 1 hour and 10 minutes to metabolise that drink. 🤙
No , not in the south in the USA 🇺🇸

Once did a drinking contest with a friend in college. We used a chess clock, set it at 7.5 minutes on each side.
We each selected a liquor ahead of time. I chose tequila, and his was Captain Morgan spiced rum.
The way it worked was we would each do a shot, then hit the clock, starting the 7.5 minute timer on the other side. Then we each had to do another shot before the 7.5 minutes was up, or the chess clock would hit zero and the alarm would go off, and that person would lose.
The winner would be the person who didn’t puke first. After shot 13, which was taken around the 1.5 hour mark, I threw up in one of the several buckets we had around - see, we planned ahead, because we were smart about it, lololol. A few minutes later, he threw up too. But I puked first, so he won.
We had a friend who owned a video camera - this was the early 2000s before video cameras were super cheap and everyone had them - record the whole thing. And we had a sort of party planned around the contest.
Years later, around 2008 or 2009, I got the VHS converted to a DVD at one of those places that did that service.
So that can still be watched whenever needed. Not sure when it would be needed, but it’s there, lololol.
I did point out to him - the winner that is - that his chosen liquor was 70 proof, while mine was 80 proof, so I was consuming about 14% more alcohol than him. That was something we should have standardized ahead of time. So if we do it again, that will be a stipulation. But, no interest in doing it again, just watching the video. There’s a bunch of other funny stuff in there. A neighborhood crackhead made an appearance. We each got “interviewed” by the guy wielding the camera, and some other stuff that is thankfully saved on video.

Regardless, there's always important factors that must be considered when interpreting scripture. Who said it and what was the context?

Not exactly comparable to say, The Ten Commandments or Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. In fact, the first epistle of Peter wasn't always universally recognized and some NT scholars still to this day, argue against the authorship being that of The Apostle Peter himself.

Great way to simply describe nonlinear metabolism. Sipping slowly over time allows the liver to “keep up”…as doc says, shots overwhelm the liver’s ability to keep up.
but sipping is so grossssss

There is also a store of the enzyme that can help breakdown alcohol in your liver. Everyone produces different amounts at different rates. The main result of this is alcohol doesn't just have a cumulative effect, but almost more of an logarithmic effect. Where the more shots you drink the stronger each shot becomes. This effect kicks in when your liver runs out of that enzyme allowing far more alcohol to reach your bloodstream. Making each drink after this ammount (roughly 2-3 drinks for most) will result in a far stronger and longer lasting drunk then even just one shot less.
So your synopsis is that you should drink more to get more drunk then? 😅😅
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you!
I'm not fact checking this but it sounds sciencey enough that I'll assume it's accurate with a grain of salt. Thanks for the alleged info👍
Wow, I’m struggling with alcoholism.
Working on quitting. But yesterday I was trying to get drunk and felt like it was NOT working(even after good amount of wait time and 3-5 shots!) Drank a few more shots and was all of a sudden wasted. I was thinking yesterday and today, why did it take so much this time? Cool explanation!
I can’t even drink alcohol anymore, because my body doesn’t properly produce the enzyme that break down alcohol. It’s an alcohol intolerance, but i get symptoms like i’m extremely allergic. whenever i drink, i end up with a excessive buildup of ethanol in my body, which causes the body to basically go into protective overdrive. I get bright red, inflammation in my face, hands and feet. Migraines, nausea, heart palpitations. And this will happen within an hour of me having a few drinks.
if i do drink, i literally have to drink super slow to allow more time for my body to break it down. At that rate, alcohol is kinda useless, it just makes me tired when i drink slow.
One thing I've heard is that, especially amongst people who have a dopaminergic response to alcohol, people only receive this dopamine response while their BAC is increasing. The moment it plateaus, the dopamine ride ends.
A method for determining if you're one of these people is to drink enough shots to become intoxicated rapidly [presumably 2-4], wait 5-15 minutes and see if your face flushes. If so, you are one of these unlucky people that should heavily moderate your consumption, lest addiction creep in.
Thank you for teaching me that I need to drink quicker so that it lasts longer 😂
Actually, not as fast so you don't pass out 😂

This is why people can wake up drunk/over the alcohol limit for driving: 20 ounces of alcohol takes 20 hours to get out of your system.
I used to work in a liquor store and heard too many stories of people drinking too much the night before and getting caught up the next day because they hadn't thought they were still drunk.
My sister got pulled over at 9am after New Year’s Eve. She stopped drinking at 1 am and thought she could drive to work the next day. She got a dwi.

20 oz of alcohol. Alcohol isn't a unit of measurement. 20 beers and 20 shots of liqour are 2 very different things.
One time I took 2 shots of whiskey, after a while I thought I wasnt feeling it so I took another one, and it all hit me at once for some reason so I knocked out and woke up feeling discombobulated
Drinker of 16 years here and never had a bad hangover. 45 years old and age guessed at 25 regularly (I still get carded every time usually). PRO TIP: Water is your absolute best friend on a heavy night. Chug that H2O before, when and after the drinks. And I mean a LOT of water. Also helps to take some supplements like a good quality multivitamin or two before you sleep to help replenish the lost nutrients to the body from alcohol metabolizing.
It’d be funny if after the fifth shot Doc started back at the beginning and then the video kept looping
When I was 16 years old, a neighbor (with his wife) would have me come over two to three times a week, and they would mix drinks and include me in drinking them. As a 16 year old I thought it was probably cool that adults were allowing me to do this, but after two or three months I feared I'd become an alcoholic because I started liking the effects how the alcohol was making me feel so I stopped drinking until I was older. I'm 60 years old now, and for years, I've thought about how the outcome could have been much different had I continued to get drunk at such a young age.
You were very self aware at such a young age. Thank you for sharing!
Omg. If I was your parent....you would be banned from going to that place and I would have words with couple plying you with drinks. You were 16! They don't get to give you permission! Your parents do!

Your liver's ability to metabolize alcohol is highly varied by several variables. In a nutshell, there are two enzymes it produces, ADH and ALDH2 that break down the ethanol into other harmless chemicals. Having "tolerance" is your body producing more of these enzymes because they are useful. You can also eat pears, sweet lime and cucumbers to increase production of these. You can also combat the oxidative stress with antioxidants. There's a lot that you can do to improve all this.
Milk thistle supplements too
God bless you doc. Thanks for sharing your expertise and love 💕😘😊❤
Math is hard! Drinking shots of "water" makes it harder...😂😂😂
Sounds like a Johnny Cash quote?

@stephenpadlock1996 ...and?
I was thinkin ain't no way a man with a cross in his kitchen is puttin shots back like that
Cross is already turning upside down lol
I know a few priests that can.
ain't against the lord to drink
People forget alcohol is technically poison
Are you sure?
What makes it so poisonous?
@@deliennemoncrieft1688It’s the number 2 of yeast.
Basically all things we consider drugs are poison (alcohol is a drug btw): THC and Nicotine are both pesticides, dolphins literally get high on pufferfish toxins.
We like using these poisons because they change our function and we find that fun. Or because it gives a huge dopamine rush (like sugar, which is t e c h n i c a l l y a drug, or cocaine).
Your liver is there to convert anything we ingest (aspirin, vitamins, alcohol, etc) to a safer form...if it's possible. You can overdose on Benadryl or probiotics by the way. The liver is good, it just can't be overloaded.
@@SqueakyPeepsSo, why dose at all?
My wife was .36 recently and still coherent and talking. Badass!
This is the exact reason I almost died. You think you’re fine so you keep drinking, no one tells you when it all hits finally you find out how alcohol can stop your breathing. I have had friends watch me sleep before from the fear of it. Super scary kids please be safe.
Love the cross and this amazing man. God bless him!
Why do you love the cross? Have you even read the Bible? You like rape, slavery, and misogyny?
Completely deadpan: “..and I’m going to die in 4 minutes” 😂
12 years without a drink, well one slip. I’m 53. I never ever thought I’d quit. Went to rehab twice. Didn’t work at all but I learned something. It ruined my drinking. It ruined my conscious. Plus I got tired of going to jail for petty crap. So I quit in 2011. One slip in 2017 . 2 daqueris thank goodness I fell asleep. Woke up mad at myself. Drove all the way home from Florida. Haven’t had a drink since.
Your liver doesn't "burn off" or digest alcohol. It produces enzymes that metabolise alcohol, and it does it based on the amount of alcohol in the blood, which is based on the alcohol content of the drink not volume of the drink. Liver cells produce the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase which breaks alcohol into ketones at a rate of about 0.015 g/100mL/hour (reduces BAC by 0.015 per hour). This is also an average as everyone's body's(weight), organ health, and metabolism rates are different. So while the average rate is 1 shot, 1 beer, 1 glass of wine, per hour, you can take a 1oz shot of some alcohols that have different % of alcohol by volume. They're still the same amount of 1 oz of liquid, but are different amounts of alcohol %(proof) by volume. You have to be very clear about this as some people may say well i can drink a bottle of wine in a night and that's the same amount of liquid as a fifth of a spirit of liqueur. But the spirits and liqueur will usually have a bit more ABV.
So in short, it’s not that cut and dried as this short leads us to believe?
Yes, it's not quite as cut and dry as this short is stating. To be clear he's not wrong, per se. It's a bit more complicated than that, and a person who's 300lbs and 6'5" can probably drink 5 shots and their body handle it far better than a person who's 5'5" and 125lbs. The person has a bigger liver, producing more enzymes etc. His short is more of a general rule of thumb that applies on average to the average person. Blood alcohol content is far more complex person to person and the variations from person to person is what makes the difference. It's not always if you drink 5 oz in an hour your liver only produces enough enzymes to metabolize one shot for everyone.
@@civilwildman^
Thanks for posting this. It's something that requires more nuance than just saying, "1 oz/hr."
@@bulletproofair yes exactly! You're most welcome
If those were 1-ounce shots of liquor, most of which is 80 proof or 40% alcohol, then you only consumed 2 ounces of actual alcohol in those 5 shots.
Nah, the metabolization speed is based on 1 standard drink per hour, and it isn't an exact science, more like a generalized rule. So like 1 beer, 1 glass of wine, 1 shot of 40% alcohol, etc.
This is also ignoring genetic differences in metabolization speeds of alcohol, some people are poor metabolizers, others are hyper metabolizers. Thus, some people might be more like 0.75 standard drinks per hour, and others might be 1.5.
No@@rdizzy1
@@rdizzy1it doesn't make any sense.
@@albertorojas472 That is how it works though regardless.
Yes it does. @@albertorojas472
I had gastric bypass surgery and I cannot drink alcohol it hits me like a drug within 20 seconds. It feels like someone injected you with a drug, it's actually scary.
Yep i had to realize that...I can't drink like that after gastric surgery
Yep. We are now really cheap drunks! One glass of wine and I am tipsy. No more wine at dinner if I am driving
oh really its not like alcohol is a drug already😂 Its a pretty strong drug tbh considering it kills more people a year than every illegal drug combined. crazy how that works
Instead of gastric surgery, couldn't you just eat less?
Yes
This is why knowing the alcohol content of what you’re drinking is really important to pacing and drinking safely, so you can drive home safely and keep your everyone else on the road safe as well
That my friends is exactly why they call it "pre gaming"
Very Informative Sir. Thank U💯💯💯🙏
Speaking as someone who was diagnosed with end stage liver failure by age 28, you are worth more than alcohol.
I'm sorry to hear that are you ok?
How much did you drink? And what made you think you had liver disease?
So what happens when that happens?
@@frankdysthe5765 I think she died from it already.
Sorry to hear what were your symptoms please
Indeed. I also learned years ago that the body can only process 1oz of water or any liquid per hour as well.
Including alcohol yes, but most people over drink everything.
Interesting. They recommend upwards of 90 oz of water per day. With your data it sounds like 12 during waking hours would make more sense. It is probably better to drink an ounce an hour instead of drinking more at one time. I fill my 32 oz mug and drink it within an hour or two. Yeah even water has to be filtered so it’s still work for organs.
I can drink a whole Hennessy fifth. Some call that a problem but i call that a gift.
Call it what you wanna call it
I call it inefficient
Your a legend in your own mind 😂
You’ll drop dead at 40.
A lot of men can....but just hear me out right....I can shoot a whole gram of dope some call it a problem I call it a gift....sounds dumb huh 😂
pray for me please I’m already failing at giving up drinking this lent( even drank on Ash Wednesday lord forgive me)😢
As long as you're breathing, you can still change. Today is an opportunity to start fresh.
You've got this!
@@chrismtucson5573 thanks for the kind words. I’m really struggling I feel like every time I fail I’m proverbially spitting in Gods face. I want to be better but I physically want to be drink all the time☹️.
Idk when exactly I went wrong it all went to crap after getting covid, my life spun out of control .
Wife: ummm that wasn't water, it was everclear
Doc: 🙃
He would have fell.down after the first shot
At the very least, it is truly painful!
Thank you for sharing these reminders.
So glad there was no alcohol in our family while growing up. No drunks, alcoholics, no worry of driving while drunk, no stinking breath in your face. ✝️✝️✝️✝️🌟
No violence - physical or mental cruelty.
wasn't to lucky here, but also in the world, we-many encouter it and behaviors everyday, the ads, sports, parties, ..its so commonly consumed, the behaviors and evironments can isolate and assist toward locking someone straight into habits dependence. i am proud for you, stay strong. the covert violence, yeeouch! abd expected to be passive about it. Its all pointless jabber that can be avoided.its known 70% americans consume regularly(i dont know the amount consumed) but it can show that statistic is possible since most drinking is in personal space or covert. wild isnt it? stay strong judy :)
It’s nice to see Bruce Willis has made an amazing recovery and is now slinging back the shots😂
He looks like the spitting image of Sean Hayes to me
Colbert Report and Bruce Willis had a child
I worked at a gas station for the past 5 years, America definitely has a problem with alcohol
It's not a problem, it's the solution

Fun fact: Alcohol is one of rhe few substances absorbed by the stomach directly into the bloodstream.
About 20% is absorbed by the stomach, 80% by the smell intestine.
Ah yes, the smell intestine. My favorite b😂😂😂😂
What does not go directly to the bloodstream?
Currently 111 days sober. Quit cold turkey and had minor withdrawal symptoms Thank you Jesus
i relapsed after a year &7 months of sobriety. weekend bender and it just reminded me of the many bad times with it. don’t stay down for ever after the fall. you will recover 🫶
Thanks tips! Nobody is ever going to get drunk or drive drunk ever again because of this. Brilliant
Thanks Doc! I'll be sure to cut back to 1 shot an hour! 🥃😬
"47 hours later"
I wish they would educate college students about this. I am a limousine chauffeur and one time I had to intervene. I told a young man who was guzzling a bottle of vodka like if it was water🤦🏽♀️
College is where we all learned this.
I like a drink but downing a bottle of vodka like water is asking for trouble. U probably saved him from alcohol poisoning
People die from alcohol poisoning. Young people need to know this, too.
@@kathleennorton2228 now they know.
You did the right thing by intervening!
