Every now and then I think about that post I made in high school, back when I was coping with a mom who was lowkey an alcoholic. It went something like “if you need alcohol to have fun you should see a therapist” and everyone and their mother were all “um sweaty actually i use alcohol to cope so shut the fuck up and die.” Like.
I was never wrong. Ya’ll shouldn’t need to get completely blasted to have a good time. Idc if it helps you “unwind” or whatever. It’s not a coping mechanism. Like yeah have a few beers with the boys or whatever, but if you’re getting drunk just so you can take it easy, you need a therapist.
Anyways alcohol culture is toxic. Go to therapy.
Alcohol be more damaging than cocaine and is considered a hard drug by experts but here we are pretending it’s ‘fun with the boys’ instead of a drug you should take responsibly. Source: Research done by RIVM (comparative to CDC) in 2009 in the netherlands See (Ranking van drugs 2009)
