I remember to drink!
If I post the entire story, it will result in a duplicate content which is not good for both sites.
It’s why it’s called abuse. Some are driven to drink ruinously. Others sense how much is enough and stop before it’s too much.
“Motivation 2: People drink alcohol for social reasons
In this situation, alcohol consumption is closely related to ones social life and, as a rule, leads to moderate consumption of alcohol. Researchers believe that in such cases, physicians need to work not with specific patients, as in the case of the first motivation, but instead, they need to work at the state level.”
Work at the state level? Nazi bastages.
People drink because they are either happy, sad or bored.
I wonder if my ex gf was part of this study.
Not saying this to be funny, but she was “literally” a case study in alcoholism.
A study group on alcoholism from IU followed and interviewed her and her family regularly for 20 years.
I didn’t learn of this until near the end of our relationship, when her barely-functioning, closeted binge-drinking alcoholism finally took it’s toll on me.
Those who don’t believe in moderation are immoderate.
When I drank I never needed a motivation
what if they ONLY drink alcohol, then forgo the additional act of drinking their motivations, too...?
Dont forget talker and a better dancer....oh yeah and twenty pounds lighter
No Ankles drinks because shes an alcoholic
Oh yes indeed.....
Holy smokes. I can't believe you just posted that. You are going to get yourself banned here. They get a tad zealous sometimes about blog pimping, but you are running way over the line here.
Just sayin, FRiend.
Why do people eat hash oil chocolate barszzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....?
Oh. ‘Medicine’
Weeks after I stopped drinking 24 years ago, I remember hearing one view was, alcoholics drink because they think they have to.
That was fairly close to my own view, once I drank due to addiction.
Substance addiction produces withdrawal discomfort, which the user seeks to avoid, keeping the cycle going.
So I quit just once, cold turkey. No detox, no coddling, just AA and gradually learning that I could do without, after all.
Physical discomfort minimal. Mental adjustment to change, plenty of challenge learning new thinking. IOW learning that I didn’t have to drink, and to be fine with that.
To make other people more interesting.
To make other people more tolerable.
There are definitely people I couldn’t tolerate unless I had a drink. It is the only way I can keep peace in the family.
I call bs. No one said they drink alcohol because it tastes good? Not one? Ridiculous. The fruity stuf with vodka or rum in it, a good beer someone likes, a good wine, or a certain brand of a distilled spirit?
Please.
Hmmm... a little Angel’s Envy with a few ice cubes... or a dry Martini with olives... or a Manhattan... or a nice dry red wine... they just plain taste good.
That’s why I drink them, at least.
It makes dem womens purtyer.
