Alcohol kills more people each year than wars, terrorism, homicides, and car accidents combined. It destroys bodies, relationships, and lives. Yet we toast with it at weddings, sip it at parties, and unwind with it after work.
Why do we cling to something so harmful?

I don't know who needs to hear this. But help is available. You can get off if the booze and the drugs. AA helps, and medical detox is transformative.

I no longer support this channel just after seeing "you need to quit weed" and "alcohol is AMAZING" when it should be the other way around. never seen a death from smoking too much weed. but I've heard of countless people dying from alcohol poisoning.

I remember asking adults a lot for an adult drink, and was given an ¿alcohol? probably or whatever, mixed with juice, i kept repeating in my head logic things like "drink slow, eat after a sip, keep a focused mind, don't talk and just nod if you can't talk, okay, here we go, slowly, steady, and…" After a sip, i just started repeating "disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, do people really like it? No, maybe it just numbs the pain for them, but then wait- why drink if you're on a party and happy? God, maybe it's like an apple juice for kids? Making them more happier and joyful. God, disgusting… I'm disgusting. No, no, I'm still more aware than my peers right? I wouldn't make any stupid things right? Well i already did, but adults procided it to me, they allowed it.. no, they were drunk already when i came up, it wasn't on their sober head, if i asked tommorow they'd refuse, why did i have to come up now? Couldn't i wait till tommorow, to hear a reject i was hoping for? Why do i have to be so curious.. isn't that a good thing? Being curious. But it's bad too. Well it has it's own many possibilities- oh, they left, i should pour at least half of it in the sink, they poured too much in this glass… Oh wait no, i hear footsteps, oh god, i poured what they definitely paid money for.. but I'm a guest ain't i? I don't think I'll get scolded for it, but i asked for it didn't i.. anyways, why do teens are so eager to drink alcohol and other kinds of things even younger my age… Even the one's my age are trying out weed and other extreme and risking things, yeah sure we have one life, but we have only one, which we should care for to see our future to grow, and aren't people interested about the future ahead?.. I'm thinking too much, i should go home now, it's getting dark, i need to wash my mouth first, mother will kill me for the smell, oh no, I'm gonna get beaten up.. i should tell them i need to wash my mouth.. but with what? The same juice but without the alcohol in it? Yeah sure that could work, or maybe a chocolate or Ice cream on my way back.."
In my whole life i tried alcohol drinks only five times
Two accidental, another two intended, and the last one when someone shoved it up my throat just for shits and giggles.
I tried smoking only once in my life and never again. I tried to be like my father, he was my idol i looked up to, the only adult i considered and still consider safe despite him being dead.
He was everything to me.
Anyways, in my short life i have already made up morals and rules for myself and for any kinds of possibilities im the future i could encounter, but i still don't know much abt the world so i just imagine it in my own way. Which turns out.. not like the reality.
But i do have strong morals and self-awareness. I'm past the first stage of the puberty age, and I'm 15-soon to be 16 this year, high school girl who lolks like she's 11 becauss of genetics of having a baby face and a short height.. but my little brother is 12 and he's already 162, while I'm still 155.
God damnit, how tf did it get from alcohol to height

I've never tried alcohol and won't for years to come, but honestly i feel like living a year or two less isn't that big a price to being able to enjoy life more, assuming i don't become an alcohol addict and keep it at a low amount. Keep in mind, living life as an 80-year-old would probably be boring as hell unless you're really successful, which most people in this generation probably won't be considering the state of the world. I'd be shocked if i managed to make it to 40 lol

Tobacco is the most dangerous drug out there, killing more than Car Accidents, AIDS, Murder, Suicides, and Fires combined.

one thing i am very curious about when it comes to alcohol, is why it has almost reverse affects on adhd or other neurodivergent people much like most recreational drugs. i’ve found it makes me more subdued or even sleepy (like most adhd people), my brother feels energetic when he drinks and i’ve never found a concise explanation as to why

"No other drug is so wide accepted, casually consumed, and easily ignored."
Aren't we forgetting about caffeine?

I mean, I feel like coffee is more widely depended on by people just to function. And nobody bats an eye at that either.
The problem comes when you NEED it, rather than you happen to drink it sometimes anand like it sometimes.

Grew up religious and never had alcohol. Never will. Drunk driving is what killed my uncle (who was an adopted Native America) That I didn't get to know. Every now and then I wonder what kind of person he was, what stories he had, his views on his culture. I only met him a few sparse times when I was very little, but even now I feel the pain of losing him.

I inherited an alcohol allergy from my mom which basically means my body sees alcohol as a poison. It just makes me dizzy, nauseous and then I pass out. There's absolutely no pleasure associated with drinking, quite the opposite. Cough medicine and an expensive Lafite Rothschild basically taste the same to me. This has been a blessing and a curse; imagine being on your college lacrosse team and in a fraternity with no ability to hold liquor. So many parties watching my brothers get more and more smashed with me standing in awe of their debauchery. OTOH, I guess I saved a lot of money?

Social health or physical health… If only there was a drug that only made you more social and less inhibited, that or, you know, better parents who properly socialize their children.
