Whats crazy about alcohol is how socially acceptable the effects of alcohol are. Everyone has an embarrassing story of something they did while being drunk, which they are quite happy to share. Also, imagine if we talked about being strung out on heroin the way we do about getting drunk. Its crazy.
All sober: Beer is great for me, almost daily. Wine occasionally. Liquor rarely. Quality matters. It's not monolith,…. it's the matter of balance. I don't like all beers. It's not just alcohol. I don't like all wines,…. it's not just alcohol. I don't like all liquors,….. it's not just alcohol.
@@bonsummers2657 Beer isn’t as bad for you as whiskey, tequila, vodka etc. However, it’s still an addictive substance, daily use will result in a higher tolerance and chemical dependency. I’d be careful.
@@boboloko Understand silica nutrition from beer, due to the barley and hops,… among other ingredient possibilities. For some people beer can be addictive, but not for all people, even if consumed daily. Quantity matters. Fermented beverages / foods are quality consumables, for quality(good to optimum)('quality' = good to optimum in casual parlance) human health. Just water and other foods, that's not healthy enough for me. I'm healthier with quality beer, in moderation. I drink water too. I drink juices, I drink tea, I don't drink coffee,…. because I find they're distinctly not healthy for me,…. whereas, I find quality beer is highly healthy for me. I rarely have liquor, and just a teaspoon or so is all that I find healthy. Wine is somewhere in between,… occasional,… quality wine, preferably oaked/oak-barreled. I know I do great with beer, not for getting drunk, just caloric good nutrition. 4% to 6% is the good intrinsic alcohol percentage range, normally. Non- pasteurized beer is another key quality factor.
The statistics are pretty sobering (no pun intended). In the US alcohol use is involved in 45% of homicides, 63% of domestic violence incidents so on and so on
Yeah that's great but the Marijuana kids now are smoking it and reeking the whole fucking place while I try to have a family dinner in a restaurant outdoors and you cops can't or won't do anything about it! Now the whole fucking city smells like shit!
@@julumarie no, stoners want to cut people in half with an axe. Weeds make you violent and evil, my brother smonked wheed and it made his arms cut a dog in half with a axe. Weeds are bad and make good people violent
As a smoker, I can give you one big reason why people are more accepting of alcohol over cigarettes. If I'm drinking a beer next to you, you're not going to get second hand drunk.
Ape Beats but there are still a lot of second hand effects of drinking like drunk driving/ other accidents, rape, violence. Society has just not been willing to paint alcohol black like they have cigarettes.
@@GrayShark18 I completely agree with you, but the majority of people dont think about it in that manner. If I light a cigarette in the middle of a crowd, it's an instantaneous affect for everyone in my proximity, whereas if I crack open a beer, no one would really care. I'm just saying it's looked at differently because smoking in public forces people to breathe in that smoke, whereas drinking in public doesn't directly influence the public until a consequence rises from the action of being drunk.
Yeah but the person next to you could get a second hand punch or a second hand glass in the face if they look at you funny. And I don't specifically mean you. I mean the next guy. Alcohol can and does turn people into out of control monsters. You can get in a car and smoke a pack of cigarettes on a journey somewhere. You drink 4 beers you could come off your lane and crash into a bus.. it's not even the same ball park man
@@deanmeat3427 That's my point. You could chug a bottle of liquor and destroy your house all by your lonesome. I'm not defending alcohol. It's a terrible vice that kills thousands of people directly and indirectly. Yes, a drunk person can do something to harm someone just because they're drunk. But in our society, the most you see to dissuade alcohol use are "Drink responsibly" and "Don't drink and drive" ads. Whereas tobacco use is 100% negative these days. I still remember Joe Cool from my childhood. My point, and this is the last time I'm going to make it, is smoking in public directly affects anyone close enough to inhale my smoke. If I get plastered, I have to take an action to harm someone in my drunken state. Yes, they're both terrible. Yes, they both kill. Yes, alcohol is worse simply because it's promoted as a great way to catch a legal buzz. So says a man that smokes half a pack of Marlboro Red 100s daily and on occasion drinks between 1 to 4 ipa brews when the mood is right. Look at me talking shit about vices I indulge. Thank you. Mic drop.
Quitting a drug is like breaking up with that toxic partner you were completely in love... they keep popping up in your mind in a positive light and you have to remind yourself of all the harm they caused you.
I feel sympathy toward anyone who has a problem with alcohol. It's the most readily accessible vice, and is perceived in culture as a norm. As a recovering heroin addict, I couldn't imagine if my drug of choice was advertised nationally and available at almost every convenience store, restaurant, etc. Props to those who can stay away from it.
It is insidious. I recently quit drinking after noticing I started buying mini bottles of spirits and drinking them in the street before a night out, then having whiskies with my beers, and the increased tolerance and bad irrational behaviour.
Coors has a new commercial, 2 guys are in it. One is making breakfast they just woke up, guess what they drinking with their egg sandwich in the morning. A fucking coors light beer. Wowwwww. Hey guys being an alcoholic is cool!!!!!!

I'm from Australia and alcohol is like a protected species over here. It's inbedded in our culture to the point of it can't be held responsible for almost anything. I'm 2 years sober because I didn't want to pass that attitude onto my kids and it's the best thing I have ever done.
Hey mate I'm aussie aswell and it certainly is a big part of our culture, its super hard to quit especially when there is a function happening. Did you do rehab or quit cold turkey
@@abayasugen8446 Hi Mate, I went Cold Turkey but did lots of AA meetings it helped. It's amazing how many people that are out there like us. In AA have met educated people , right down to homeless people and everything inbetween. Hearing everyone's stories helps to stop. It's not for everyone but worked ok for me, it's free and there are meetings everywhere accross Australia, there are also zoom meetings. There are other options too, hardest thing is admitting and accepting you have an issue. Which ever road you take its worth the effort. So much more fun to have without booze. PM me if you like. 👍🏻
That's how I got addicted. Cheaper than cigars, gave a nice head rush. Smoked a couple days thinking "oh, well I'm not addicted so I must be a different case" then bam, felt like I needed them a week or so later.
I just hate when politicians say they just don't want the kids to start doing drugs as the reason why they won't legalize weed... With weed illegal, nobody selling it is asking for ID. Seems backwards. It was easier for me to get weed than the cigar to wrap it in when i was underage
Nah, it's just a cultural thing. Europeans have been producing alcoholic beverages for ever. It is engrained in our cultural tissue. Pot isn't, yet it is in muslim countries, where alcohol consumption is illegal. Both aren't healthy by any stretch of the immagination, yet cultures do work like that.
Spent all my time schooling my son about drugs, and what they do and which ones can control you. Not even thinking about alcohol. I just never thought about it. I've done every drug I can get, so I wanted to give him reasons not to. I said weed ain't bad, but it can be a gateway if something else is around. Long story short, his mom and stepdad drank with him at 18. Thinking it was okay cause he was at home, that's the dumbest shit. It just makes kids feel safer to drink anywhere. My son died at 19 drunk driving. Fuck Alcohol, it the worst drug!
They say drugs and alcohol because alcohol is in a league of its own! I Lost my job my family and myself to alcohol! When I gave up alcohol and decided to get healthy I hit the gym and lost 100 pounds in five months. I got everything back that I wanted in my life plus more with sobriety Now I’m not into meetings or AA I got clean and sober through exercise and eating healthier. But I’ll say do whatever works for you! now I’m going on five years sober and I’ll never look back!
congrats man for real. i personally struggle with it to this day but i consistently try to stay sober. 1 day drunk 2 days sober 2 days drunk 1 day sober shit like that
"This, for me, is the saddest thing about smoking: the only ‘enjoyment’ a smoker gets from a cigarette is temporary relief from the discomfort created by the previous one." Allen Carr's Easyway (He makes the similar point about drinking in his Easyway to stop drinking book)
As someone that has overdone alcohol multiple times in the past, i feel like alcohol will stay legal for a long time. I found that it kind of shuts down people. The very few dreams and goals you had, vanish when you get few shots. All of it stops mattering. Then, when addiction kicks in, the only goal in life that stays, is getting enough money just to get fucked up again. So, it will stay legal because it's profitable, even though highly destructive to society in general.
@Peder Hansen you just ignored his point completely. Sounds like you’re just trying to justify your use of alcohol. Fruits and veg have tons more antioxidants, why don’t you start eating salads? Oh because you’re obsessed with the high you get from scotch whiskey.
My older sister made me never want to drink. She was kind of cruel when she was a teen, but once she started drinking, she was the Antichrist. She always abused my parents physically and mentally while drunk. She said and did unforgivable things, especially to our severely disabled father, such as telling him that she would break his back again during an argument or hitting him because he was basically defenseless. (He was the passenger in a terrible car accident which literally shattered his spine when we were kids.) I’m 30 now, I don’t drink and have never taken drugs of any kind. She is a heroin addict and I haven’t talked to her or seen her in over 2 years.
I got blackout drunk when I was a teenager and my younger brother had to take care of me all night. Scared him straight, I've never seen him drink more than one drink on very special occasions. He's the lucky one.
That has almost nothing to do with alcohol, if she was nasty whilst sober alcohol will most likely exacerbate that part of her, but alcohol itself if you are a normal generous person will not make you want to abuse your parents
@@kutze1962 alcohol makes any frustrations and negative emotions so much more intense. People feel these emotions before alcohol, but alcohol will drag people further into that pit of negative emotions until it's all they can feel and see. Thats when the alcohol has ultimately turned them into something far worse than what they ever would have been. The alcohol is to blame ultimately for it Is the cause of the falling better never getting back up. I've seen my best friend of my childhood go from being a bright person with some overt pessimistic tendencies to a very dark extremely negative and at times, very hateful person . I know that would not have happened if it weren't for the 4 liters of vodka he has been drinking almost every week for the past 8 years.
@@Halcyon1997 That could be very true for lots of people but also lots of people don’t turn into aggressive bad people when they’re drunk. I would sometimes get annoyed or angry when drinking vodka but wouldn’t hurt anyone unless they hurt me first

I’ve done that more with weed than alcohol. I’m 24, smoked and drank for the first time at 14. Weed stuck with me, I’m fine all these years later and heavy use came in my late teen years. I’m responsible, I have a SHARP memory and I’ve had high grades in life. So overall, way I see it one is the problem when the other isn’t. Any event with alcohol and “good times” I’ve seen devolve in some way. I was a valet, I saw a kid pass out before he got through the doors at a Sweet 16, was SO fucked up that he had to go to the hospital to have his stomach pumped. Yeah “good times”
13 months without a drop for me today. Not gonna lie my brain still tries tricking me into thinking I miss it. But then seeing other people hammered reminds me I really don’t.
Stay off it i went completely alcohol free last year, had a few beers in january and decided now to give it up for good drinking alcohol is pointless for me now!

I’m an alcoholic. I appreciate Joe being cognizant of people like me when discussing alcohol. Not to say he shouldn’t say he enjoys it. But in a world where alcohol is glorified, pretty much everywhere, it’s nice that he at least thinks about people like me before speaking on it.
I just finished my last beer...thankfully...I think ahead and buy a bottle of scotch. I know I am in the spiral...the outcome is literally unthinkable compared to right fucking now.
It’s a terrible feeling living with alcoholic parents/parent. Living with the daily fact that it will kill them and despite all you do, it’s not enough. Constantly not being yourself or comfortable because you have to walk on the edge of a explosion. And the worst is seeing them sick. I hope everyone suffering from addiction finds their sobriety.
You know that marijuana addiction is NOTHING compared to alcohol addiction, right? Alcohol is GABAergic. This class of drugs is the most addicting one. Alcohol is one of the few drugs where stopping cold turkey in some cases leads to DEATH. Can never happen with Cannabis. The withdrawal symptoms of alcohol are insane. Cannabis withdrawal usually is NOTHING compared to this, maybe dysphoria and insomnia for a few days. (I'm not saying Cannabis addiction is good, no addiction is good!) Also, (chronic) alcohol consumption poses some big risks for the human body, unlike Cannabis. If I had to choose between those two addictions, guess what, I'll take Cannabis, the one that doesn't kill you. This shouldn't even be a debate...

I became an alcoholic at 20 due to trauma, depression, and anxiety. One night I just passed out while standing and fell face first into a thorny bush, nearly lost my sight in my left eye. Made a full recovery luckily. I decided that this was a problem and went cold turkey on my own volition, no intervention by friends and family, just me deciding what‘s best for me when I was at my lowest. I still have a drink from time to time (maybe one every couple months or so), but it was the best decision of my life to quit the habit.
I drank for about six years and it got fairly heavy. Then I went out with friends one night to go drinking and it just wasn’t fun. I decided to take a break and then never wanted to do it again. Was a great decision. Once I quit i became aware of how much it was holding me back
While I don't know if I would go as far as to say that they are "good" for you (I'm well aware of the possible positive impact on people with PTSD and depression, however I wouldn't put that under the the same category of "good"as any nutritious. Because, let's face it, there are people out there that should not take psychedelics due to various forms of psychosis,etc. But I certainly wouldn't say that it's "bad" for you. More legitimate clinical research just needs to be performed in a non-biased setting
Weed gives me social anxiety but I love it in solitude, I actually enjoy weed a lot more alone than with other people even tho most times I don’t mind it
Its definitely different for everybody, but I believe it's all in the first time, and gender. I don't know what it is but from what I've experienced is that men like weed much more than alcohol, whereas with women they tend to like alcohol more than weed, of course im not saying they don't, but i know plenty who would pass on a joint or bong rip but be all in for a shot or three
@@BigBootySeeker2 I've noticed that too and I think it has to do with legality and stigma. I think females tend to abide by laws more and be turned off by bad stigmas such as the whole "weed is a bad drug that makes you lazy" crap. I think men don't care as much about that.
I am the same way at this point in my life, when I was younger, it didn't affect me like that. I smoked everyday for 6 years or so, when I quit for a year and started back, it just was never the same.
I’m only 14, my dad was a heavy drinker and alchohol took him from me last month. Don’t drink alchohol please and if you know anyone addicted please try to get them to stop before it’s too late, my dad really was fine and had no medical issues until his unknown cerebral aneurysm ruptured.
I smoked half a pack a day from 13-24. Switched to vapes 24-26 and took my last nicotine hit walking into my dad's funeral. It's been a year so far and I will NEVER go back. You CAN do it!
@Julian Lopez You're right buddy. I didn't think I'd have to clarify, but I was referring to cigarettes. Half a pack (10 cigarettes) per day. You're crazy, I've been leaving bud alone for a bit but max I used to consume ~.8g wax or ~2g flower per day 😂
I smoked Newport 100’s for 12 years before I was able to finally kick em when I was 25. It’s been almost 12 years now and I can truly say I never think about smoking tobacco at all. It was and is still the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
Lost my both parents to alcohol. My mom when I was 23, my dad when I was 36. I'm expecting my first kid later this year and the lost potential is devastating.
May I ask what exactly they died from (a certain organ failure or something else) ? & I’m so sorry to hear this 😔 but happy to hear you have a child that’s good news
@@ABa-ve3ul (Sorry for my poor language, English is not my native language.) My mom drank during my whole life and I became aware as I grew up, resulting in many problem along the years. At some point she had a bleeding in her stomach, took some medication for that (don't know exactly what) and went into a coma (as the medication went straight into her bloodstream because of the wounds in her stomach and her body (liver/kidneys ?) was not able to efficiently get it out of her bloodstream). When she got out of the coma, she lost her memory for some time and quit alcohol. After quiting alcohol she went downhill over the course of a couple of months, loosing a lot of weight and basically her body started failing. She died soon after because of her liver failing. I was already out of the house back then trying to figure out how to set up my life, and this whole episode is kind of a blur tbh. I never got to say goodbye. My dad died more recently. After years of alcohol abuse in our teens, he quit alcohol entirely until some years prior to his death. He moved to the middle of nowhere about 15 years before that, isolating himself from the rest of the family. He was very independend and kind of a loner. No real friends or anything. We visited him from time to time. After he broke up with his girlfriend of 15+ years (he moved in the region because of her) he was incredibly lonely and unable to adapt or move somewhere else (he was already 75). He started drinking to cope I guess. By the time we found out he was already drinking a bottle of whisky a day and having tremors and shakes if he didn't drink. We dried to offer him as much support as possible but at some point we found him on the floor. He must have fallen, maybe hit his head and he passed away. we found him 2 days later. The coroner estimated natural causes, so no further exemination was done to investigate specific causes.

I'm 27 right now and been sober for 9 months. Yeah its crazy that you don't realize what you're doing to yourself until you quit and within quitting you begin to see the bigger picture. Its a classic case of Stockholm syndrome.
I'm not an "alcoholic" but rather a "normal drinker" by standard terms. I became a nondrinker this year - and it's been a real revelation. It takes months to see what not drinking is like (the effects linger), and how addicted we normal drinkers are. Think about it, most of us can't imagine having a good time going to a party or a game or a show without alcohol. Quitting is crazy, we think alcohol does so much for us, makes things fun, makes us relaxed, and makes us more more social. In reality, that couldn't be farther from the truth. Love my mornings now, and if I really want to treat myself to something, I'll have a little weed. Never going back to alcohol and don't miss it at all.
No it really does make you find things more fun and also makes you feel way more relaxed, its just the morning after that the negative impacts kick in. Dont act like it doesn't do those things.
Always amazes me how all the people who have quite drinking and can now ‘have fun’ and ‘socialise’ without it don’t turn up to parties. I don’t care if you drink, props to you for not and I say the same to my friends who have quit. However, it almost always, makes you fucking boring!
@American Hero I'm gonna have to step in and fart in your face a little bit here. Lots of alcohol vs a little weed are two completely different things and I'm willing to bet you've never had a drinking problem if you think they're even remotely equal.
I can't wait for societies to finally acknowledge that alcohol is drugs. Especially the ones that have social drinking culture that shame people not participating.
I'm glad that I came across this clip because, after almost a decade, I am finally coming to grips with this fact. Alcohol is just as bad or worse than any other toxic substance you can put in your body. It affects people differently. For some people, one drink can cause cravings for it for the rest of the week. A lot of times people justify these cravings, "this beer is perfect with my wings," or "one drink is basically nothing." It's all because the body is craving it. Some people are fortunate enough to where they can have a drink and not care if they had another for a month. For others, a drink is a slippery slope. I am giving up alcohol because I am tired of looking back at life and wondering what could have been if I were sober. I want to feel better. I want to have deep meaningful relationships. I want to say I've reached my potential. For all of those who are with me on this journey, congratulations. Here's an ice-water toast to all those who have decided to shed the baggage of alcoholism and propel themselves into a higher caliber of human being.
Back in the time I was more depressed, Marijuana was cool to cool things off sometimes. I was always thinking in weird paths without focus. It was fun to just stop being serious and chill a little. It had the effect of resetting me so I can keep going. I took it once a month and now I smoke Marijuana once per 2 or 3 month. Personally I would recommend trying it at least once if you don't have medical restrictions of course. And for the sake of the story, I am no longer depressed because I went to get help and gave my 100% during one month and I managed to cure my depression after 5 years, its a win. Probably no one will read this so I didn't care to put that here.

tobacco in itself is just a plant, its been used for over 5,000 years. Saying it is bad is incorrect. It is the overconsumption and those chemicals they put on it. Most cigarettes are only a percentage of tobacco the rest are fillers and additives.
@@rayflower1915 that is a true statement my friend. But tobacco in itself is not bad. It is like saying coffee is bad. Not necessarily...depends on the context. Tobacco can actually be beneficial and healing in some cases. Im not being an advocate for it, im just pointing it out.
People be like: "Hey, what's wrong with you? We have a party and you don't want to drink, come on, have a drink, come on, don't ruin our night. Have a drink, don't act up!" People will feel offended if you choose not to drink at a party or a social event. And people be like: "Hey, you want a cigarette?" "No, I don't smoke!" "Oh okay!" End of story. Why is that? The conversation should end exactly the same way. "You want a drink?" "No, thanks!" "Oh okay."
It seems like you might be a young person because I can tell you my friends don't get offended if I choose not to drink and there's not the peer pressure that I saw in high school.
Sobriety from weed and replacing it with drinking ruined my life, destroyed my savings, and made me have the outlook "One more day closer to death". Sobriety from Alcohol, and having weed instead and my life couldn't be getting better. I got my certifications, got a solid job, and finally have had time to properly develop myself as a person thanks to the introspection weed provides. I'll be moving in with my first partner this fall, and can't even recognize the person I was when drinking. Fuck Alcohol, literal poison to body and mind.

Whats crazy about alcohol is how socially acceptable the effects of alcohol are. Everyone has an embarrassing story of something they did while being drunk, which they are quite happy to share. Also, imagine if we talked about being strung out on heroin the way we do about getting drunk. Its crazy.
All sober: Beer is great for me, almost daily. Wine occasionally. Liquor rarely. Quality matters. It's not monolith,…. it's the matter of balance. I don't like all beers. It's not just alcohol. I don't like all wines,…. it's not just alcohol. I don't like all liquors,….. it's not just alcohol.
@@bonsummers2657 Beer isn’t as bad for you as whiskey, tequila, vodka etc. However, it’s still an addictive substance, daily use will result in a higher tolerance and chemical dependency. I’d be careful.
@@boboloko Understand silica nutrition from beer, due to the barley and hops,… among other ingredient possibilities. For some people beer can be addictive, but not for all people, even if consumed daily. Quantity matters. Fermented beverages / foods are quality consumables, for quality(good to optimum)('quality' = good to optimum in casual parlance) human health. Just water and other foods, that's not healthy enough for me. I'm healthier with quality beer, in moderation. I drink water too. I drink juices, I drink tea, I don't drink coffee,…. because I find they're distinctly not healthy for me,…. whereas, I find quality beer is highly healthy for me. I rarely have liquor, and just a teaspoon or so is all that I find healthy. Wine is somewhere in between,… occasional,… quality wine, preferably oaked/oak-barreled. I know I do great with beer, not for getting drunk, just caloric good nutrition. 4% to 6% is the good intrinsic alcohol percentage range, normally. Non- pasteurized beer is another key quality factor.

Your comment made me want to give you an, “I’d like to thank” award. Then I realized, this isn’t Reddit.

As a smoker, I can give you one big reason why people are more accepting of alcohol over cigarettes. If I'm drinking a beer next to you, you're not going to get second hand drunk.
Ape Beats but there are still a lot of second hand effects of drinking like drunk driving/ other accidents, rape, violence. Society has just not been willing to paint alcohol black like they have cigarettes.
@@GrayShark18 I completely agree with you, but the majority of people dont think about it in that manner. If I light a cigarette in the middle of a crowd, it's an instantaneous affect for everyone in my proximity, whereas if I crack open a beer, no one would really care. I'm just saying it's looked at differently because smoking in public forces people to breathe in that smoke, whereas drinking in public doesn't directly influence the public until a consequence rises from the action of being drunk.
Ape Beats that makes sense, it’s more immediately apparent.
Yeah but the person next to you could get a second hand punch or a second hand glass in the face if they look at you funny. And I don't specifically mean you. I mean the next guy. Alcohol can and does turn people into out of control monsters. You can get in a car and smoke a pack of cigarettes on a journey somewhere. You drink 4 beers you could come off your lane and crash into a bus.. it's not even the same ball park man
@@deanmeat3427 That's my point. You could chug a bottle of liquor and destroy your house all by your lonesome. I'm not defending alcohol. It's a terrible vice that kills thousands of people directly and indirectly. Yes, a drunk person can do something to harm someone just because they're drunk. But in our society, the most you see to dissuade alcohol use are "Drink responsibly" and "Don't drink and drive" ads. Whereas tobacco use is 100% negative these days. I still remember Joe Cool from my childhood. My point, and this is the last time I'm going to make it, is smoking in public directly affects anyone close enough to inhale my smoke. If I get plastered, I have to take an action to harm someone in my drunken state. Yes, they're both terrible. Yes, they both kill. Yes, alcohol is worse simply because it's promoted as a great way to catch a legal buzz. So says a man that smokes half a pack of Marlboro Red 100s daily and on occasion drinks between 1 to 4 ipa brews when the mood is right. Look at me talking shit about vices I indulge. Thank you. Mic drop.
How many ppl wake up in jail with the cops saying "you know what you did last night?" due to alcohol?

I feel sympathy toward anyone who has a problem with alcohol. It's the most readily accessible vice, and is perceived in culture as a norm. As a recovering heroin addict, I couldn't imagine if my drug of choice was advertised nationally and available at almost every convenience store, restaurant, etc. Props to those who can stay away from it.
Porn is even more accessible and induces a greater dopamine response but I see what you mean
100% well said.
It is insidious. I recently quit drinking after noticing I started buying mini bottles of spirits and drinking them in the street before a night out, then having whiskies with my beers, and the increased tolerance and bad irrational behaviour.

Prohibition failed. That's why alcohol gets a pass.
War on Drugs has failed.
I just hate when politicians say they just don't want the kids to start doing drugs as the reason why they won't legalize weed... With weed illegal, nobody selling it is asking for ID. Seems backwards. It was easier for me to get weed than the cigar to wrap it in when i was underage
You could run your model T ford on alcohol. One acre of corn could power your car for a year. Prohibition was brought on by big oil, a war on stills.
Alcohol has been ingrained into society that you can't change it. Fermentation of alcohol has been around for around 10,000 years

As someone that has overdone alcohol multiple times in the past, i feel like alcohol will stay legal for a long time. I found that it kind of shuts down people. The very few dreams and goals you had, vanish when you get few shots. All of it stops mattering. Then, when addiction kicks in, the only goal in life that stays, is getting enough money just to get fucked up again. So, it will stay legal because it's profitable, even though highly destructive to society in general.

Alcohol is one of the few drugs where stopping cold turkey in some cases leads to DEATH. Can never happen with Cannabis. The withdrawal symptoms of alcohol are insane. Cannabis withdrawal usually is NOTHING compared to this, maybe dysphoria and insomnia for a few days. (I'm not saying Cannabis addiction is good, no addiction is good!) Also, (chronic) alcohol consumption poses some big risks for the human body, unlike Cannabis. If I had to choose between those two addictions, guess what, I'll take Cannabis, the one that doesn't kill you. This shouldn't even be a debate...
Again, Cannabis addiction is BAD.
@@3-methylindole730 marijuana was the first drug addiction I ever had . And it wasn't pretty . Not too long after that I quit marijuana and became addicted to alcohol . Sure it's worse to be a drunk than a pothead but why be either one ? Why not stand out from the crowd and dare to be different and give up alcohol , cigarettes AND marijuana ? I've been addicted to all THREE and I qujt them . Almost 16 years Straight Edge right here . The same curiosity that leads you to try those things in the first place is the same kind of curiosity that leads you to wonder what life would be like WITHOUT those things .....And marijuana withdrawal was no party at all . Even started hearing voices at times .....Very strange indeed .....
I became an alcoholic at 20 due to trauma, depression, and anxiety. One night I just passed out while standing and fell face first into a thorny bush, nearly lost my sight in my left eye. Made a full recovery luckily. I decided that this was a problem and went cold turkey on my own volition, no intervention by friends and family, just me deciding what‘s best for me when I was at my lowest. I still have a drink from time to time (maybe one every couple months or so), but it was the best decision of my life to quit the habit.
I drank for about six years and it got fairly heavy. Then I went out with friends one night to go drinking and it just wasn’t fun. I decided to take a break and then never wanted to do it again. Was a great decision. Once I quit i became aware of how much it was holding me back
I would advice to stay away from it, even if its just one every couple of months. Its very easy to fall in the trap again.
No one ever said, " I really turned my life around when I started drinking."
No, but I heard many say, " I really turned my life upside down when I started drinking."

They are with responsible use.
While I don't know if I would go as far as to say that they are "good" for you (I'm well aware of the possible positive impact on people with PTSD and depression, however I wouldn't put that under the the same category of "good"as any nutritious. Because, let's face it, there are people out there that should not take psychedelics due to various forms of psychosis,etc. But I certainly wouldn't say that it's "bad" for you.

Weed gives me social anxiety but I love it in solitude, I actually enjoy weed a lot more alone than with other people even tho most times I don’t mind it

Its definitely different for everybody, but I believe it's all in the first time, and gender. I don't know what it is but from what I've experienced is that men like weed much more than alcohol, whereas with women they tend to like alcohol more than weed, of course im not saying they don't, but i know plenty who would pass on a joint or bong rip but be all in for a shot or three
@@BigBootySeeker2 I've noticed that too and I think it has to do with legality and stigma. I think females tend to abide by laws more and be turned off by bad stigmas such as the whole "weed is a bad drug that makes you lazy" crap. I think men don't care as much about that.
Same
I am the same way at this point in my life, when I was younger, it didn't affect me like that. I smoked everyday for 6 years or so, when I quit for a year and started back, it just was never the same.
I’m only 14, my dad was a heavy drinker and alchohol took him from me last month. Don’t drink alchohol please and if you know anyone addicted please try to get them to stop before it’s too late, my dad really was fine and had no medical issues until his unknown cerebral aneurysm ruptured.

@@ABa-ve3ul (Sorry for my poor language, English is not my native language.)
My mom drank during my whole life and I became aware as I grew up, resulting in many problem along the years. At some point she had a bleeding in her stomach, took some medication for that (don't know exactly what) and went into a coma (as the medication went straight into her bloodstream because of the wounds in her stomach and her body (liver/kidneys ?) was not able to efficiently get it out of her bloodstream). When she got out of the coma, she lost her memory for some time and quit alcohol. After quiting alcohol she went downhill over the course of a couple of months, loosing a lot of weight and basically her body started failing. She died soon after because of her liver failing. I was already out of the house back then trying to figure out how to set up my life, and this whole episode is kind of a blur tbh. I never got to say goodbye.
My dad died more recently. After years of alcohol abuse in our teens, he quit alcohol entirely until some years prior to his death. He moved to the middle of nowhere about 15 years before that, isolating himself from the rest of the family. He was very independend and kind of a loner. No real friends or anything. We visited him from time to time. After he broke up with his girlfriend of 15+ years (he moved in the region because of her) he was incredibly lonely and unable to adapt or move somewhere else (he was already 75). He started drinking to cope I guess. By the time we found out he was already drinking a bottle of whisky a day and having tremors and shakes if he didn't drink. We dried to offer him as much support as possible but at some point we found him on the floor. He must have fallen, maybe hit his head and he passed away. we found him 2 days later. The coroner estimated natural causes, so no further exemination was done to investigate specific causes.
it is what is
I smoke a box of black & milds and drink a pint of alcohol everyday when I get off work for the past 2 years it’s killing me & I can’t stop .

When you go to a concert, who is it that wants to fight you if they bump into you, the drunk or the pot smoker?
Precisely, another example is the time police officers spend dealing with alcoholics whereas pot smokers avoid police at all costs😂. Idk where you're based or other people but in the UK alot and I mean alot of time is spent dealing with drunks over the weekends. Yet the pot heads are the ones who get hassled and belittled.

Joseph’s Quest Just because you might not want to fight people whilst drunk doesn’t mean that every single person in the world won’t either - it’s not a shit comment, it’s a fact. Alcohol commonly increases aggression compared to other drugs such as Marijuana

Plus there not shitty comments when theres truth behind them.

I'm not an "alcoholic" but rather a "normal drinker" by standard terms. I became a nondrinker this year - and it's been a real revelation. It takes months to see what not drinking is like (the effects linger), and how addicted we normal drinkers are. Think about it, most of us can't imagine having a good time going to a party or a game or a show without alcohol.
Quitting is crazy, we think alcohol does so much for us, makes things fun, makes us relaxed, and makes us more more social. In reality, that couldn't be farther from the truth.
Love my mornings now, and if I really want to treat myself to something, I'll have a little weed. Never going back to alcohol and don't miss it at all.
No it really does make you find things more fun and also makes you feel way more relaxed, its just the morning after that the negative impacts kick in. Dont act like it doesn't do those things.
Always amazes me how all the people who have quite drinking and can now ‘have fun’ and ‘socialise’ without it don’t turn up to parties.
I don’t care if you drink, props to you for not and I say the same to my friends who have quit. However, it almost always, makes you fucking boring!
I wasn't able to have a good time and be social before I turned 21. There's a reason I was so depressed as a teenager.
Love this comment. just turned 20 but i’m 3 months dry. Only weed and shrooms for me now and I don’t plan on going back
@American Hero I'm gonna have to step in and fart in your face a little bit here. Lots of alcohol vs a little weed are two completely different things and I'm willing to bet you've never had a drinking problem if you think they're even remotely equal.

I'm glad that I came across this clip because, after almost a decade, I am finally coming to grips with this fact. Alcohol is just as bad or worse than any other toxic substance you can put in your body. It affects people differently. For some people, one drink can cause cravings for it for the rest of the week. A lot of times people justify these cravings, "this beer is perfect with my wings," or "one drink is basically nothing." It's all because the body is craving it. Some people are fortunate enough to where they can have a drink and not care if they had another for a month. For others, a drink is a slippery slope.
I am giving up alcohol because I am tired of looking back at life and wondering what could have been if I were sober. I want to feel better. I want to have deep meaningful relationships. I want to say I've reached my potential. For all of those who are with me on this journey, congratulations. Here's an ice-water toast to all those who have decided to shed the baggage of alcoholism and propel themselves into a higher caliber of human being.

Alcohol is so socially destructive.
This conversation was brought to you by marijuana. The perfect treat for when it's time to unwind.
Back in the time I was more depressed, Marijuana was cool to cool things off sometimes. I was always thinking in weird paths without focus. It was fun to just stop being serious and chill a little. It had the effect of resetting me so I can keep going. I took it once a month and now I smoke Marijuana once per 2 or 3 month. Personally I would recommend trying it at least once if you don't have medical restrictions of course. And for the sake of the story, I am no longer depressed because I went to get help and gave my 100% during one month and I managed to cure my depression after 5 years, its a win. Probably no one will read this so I didn't care to put that here.
