Los Santos’ Twitchiest Intern

Golden retriever energy, meth lab lifestyle | Sandy Shores local | he/him | T.P.I. Intern

[bangs-in-blaine]

Welcome to my blog!

yeah, so, hi. I’m Chadwick Aaron Bangs but nobody calls me that unless they’re mad at me. Most folks just say Chad, Bangsy, or “oi you, stop touching that.”

I live out in Sandy Shores, work for Trevor sometimes (don’t ask, it’s complicated), and I can fix your car, your toaster, and maybe your marriage if you pay me enough... Or feed me.

Couple things about me I guess:

I’m British and American, which just means I sound like a drunk parrot most of the time.

Don’t ask about the infected tattoo. I know. Franklin already yelled at me.

I have a few tattoos I have:

An emo heart (the only one I actually wanted).

Neck knife tattoo to match Trevor’s “cut here" tattoo... It was his idea of a date

“T.P.I.” scrawled on me, it happened while I was unconscious because Trevor knocked me out and did it himself.

Here's my full profile

And heres the tag navigation

About the Admin

Hi! I’m Tem/Dondon, Im 19 from the uk so I'll run on bri'ish time, my pronouns ate he/it/star/stink. This is my GTA V self-insert blog for Chad Bangs. I run this ask blog for fun, art, and shenanigans.

Because Chad is tied to the world of GTA and Blaine County shenanigans, this blog may include mentions of:

Substance use / addiction (esp. meth)

Self-harm scars / references

Abuse (verbal & physical, Chad doesn't have a good life tbh)

Violence / crime (it’s GTA, after all)

Trevor Phillips being Trevor Phillips

None of this will be glorified — it’s handled in-character and with humor/dark comedy (like the game itself).

If any of this content isn’t for you, that’s totally valid — please protect your peace and avoid this blog.

Final Thoughts

Uh, yeah, so, cheers for stoppin’ by, I guess. You can ask me stuff, I’ll probably overshare or say somethin’ stupid, but that’s kinda the point, innit? If you don’t like it, jog on. If you do like it, grab a seat, grab a Skittle, and watch me make poor life choices live on the internet.

Some outfit concept which I call this the Sandy Shore Arc. Want to explore more about that time in the game make some comics about it.

[smoldragonborn]

“we need to stop the stigma towards drug users and addicts” and “we need to challenge the idea that being sober makes you boring” and “we need to stop acting like binge drinking to the extent you’re doing medical damage is fun and normal for young people” are all ideas that can and should coexist.

[fatfemmefreaquency]

just so we’re clear, the threshold for “binge drinking to the extent you’re doing medical damage” is waaaay lower than you think.

I work in an obstetrician and gynaecologist’s office. we have to tell patients on a regular basis that they are binge drinking weekly when they think they are simply consuming a normal amount of alcohol on the weekends.

having more than 3 drinks in a single sitting if you have an estrogen based endocrine system is a binge that is medically significant.

having more than 5 in a sitting is a medically significant binge for someone with a testosterone based endocrine system.

every time you do this, it significantly impacts your risk of getting breast cancer, and damages your liver. it takes time to recover from that liver damage. if you’re having a 3-5 or more drink binge on a weekly basis, you are an alcoholic, medically speaking, and your liver is not recovering.

again: the bar for what binge drinking is, medically, is so much lower than what you think it is.

alcohol is a really toxic substance and not something you should fuck around with.

again: if you have an estrogenized hormone system (common for most women), then 3 drinks is a binge. if you have a testosteronized hormone system (common for most men), then 5 drinks is a binge.

anything above that number, consumed as frequently as weekly or more, and you’re medically a binge drinking alcoholic.

also, if you’re drinking any quantity of alcohol 6 days a week or more, that’s another threshold at which, medically speaking, you meet the definition of alcoholism. your liver needs more days without alcohol in your system than just one a week to recover and be healthy.

I don’t say any of this to shame anyone—to me, alcoholism or substance use disorders aren’t a sign of weakness or moral failing. and most of us genuinely don’t know this stuff.

rather—I point this out because it’s important to reduce harm, and find ways to live healthier, happier lives. there is a life outside of constant binge drinking. it’s not always easy to find it. but it’s out there. you deserve a life where your emotional needs are met by something other than alcohol, and a life in which your liver is healthy, and the ways you cope and celebrate and find joy don’t put you at increased risk of cancer.

[qweerhet]

also–even if alcohol is the only way you can self-medicate, or if you choose to go on with your alcohol usage anyway regardless of other options–you still deserve to know what it’s doing to your body.

information is key. you don’t have to stop drinking, but the utter lack of education on alcohol + the normalization of binge drinking in current society leads to many people drinking without any idea of what it’s doing to their bodies.

addicts deserve accurate medical information regardless of what they decide to do with it. for some people, losing liver function is worth the benefits they get from binge drinking, but they can’t make that choice if they don’t know what the consequences are to begin with.

addicts deserve accurate medical information regardless of what they decide to do with it.

[underworld-melon]

Can someone tell me the definition of one drink in this context?

Because a vodka shot is not the same as (idk, some low alcohol percentage alcohol.)

So, what does 3 (or 5) drinks mean.

[theconcealedweapon]

0.6 ounces of alcohol is a standard drink. Examples include 12 ounces of 5% alcohol beer, or 1.5 ounces of 40% alcohol liquor.

[genderkoolaid]

if you are like me and numbers slide off your brain like water off a ducks back, you can use this Standard Drink Calculator to out how much you are drinking.
