Can't say that this was what I expected. But I appreciate honesty.
So some of you think my mind is pickled, am I slurring my typing ? (typoing it my favorite typo BTW). But the thing is, I asked, and I got answers. Whether or not they come with the proverbial grain of salt, they are telling me your opinions. That seems to be what I asked for. Ha, be careful for what you ask for.
But the responses about the drinking are still responses. I choose whether or not to take advice, but the volume of responses extolling the virtues of sobriety will not be ignored. I will consider all of the responses. After all I asked. Maybe it is time to cut down, but I have no desire to quit completely. Same with anything else.
But I have quit hard liquor, I know I simply can't handle it. Sure I could actually go to a bar and have a shot or two, but that would have to be it. I do not want a bottle of whiskey in my house. I like the shit too much. After a few it tastes like water to me, and just too many times it has resulted in troubles.
My consumption level now is not all that high, and consists of beer that I consider light (Busch). It only runs about two or three percent alcohol. I also drink it slowly, and am used to it being not quite so cold.
Like smoking, I am cutting down, but a big part of the reason is cost. I know it's no good for me but I like it so I do it.
And magic mirror just appeared in front of me. You have inadvertently given me like a vision or something.
I just said that I do it because I like it, and while I am not sure if I have done it here, I have talked to people about their physical condition, and told them about certain things that they were eating that are poison. And when they ignore my advice I then don't want to hear about it. I seem to have engaged in a double standard of sorts.
But most of this is in R/L, and I also must admit that not everyone ignores my advice. Some consider it, change habits slightly, perhaps don't eat that total junkfood every day but then some say "Every once in a while I gotta have it". Well once a week is better than twice a day.
So I thank you all for somehow collectively giving me this moment of introspection. But really, quitting everything and living the clean life is not for me. But perhaps some adjustments are in order.
If my times of inebriation are showing here (not right now but sometimes), I need to consider that, because of course at those times I think I am sober as a judge. Well, I mean sober. I shall consider what has been said here, of that there is no doubt.
Now about the balls to die thing. What that means is I do not go to doctors. I have no death wish, and the fact that I do not fear it is taken wrong by many. It is seen as a desire to die, and it is nothing of the sort.
Not fearing death is good for life.
Anyway, there is a possibility that beer is affecting me adversely, physically. How bad can that be ? Is beer one of those things you simply should not drink every day ? I mean even if it had no alcohol in it at all.
My problem is finding something else to drink. I can cut down easily, but I will have to buy bottled water as I am not drinking tap water, nor any of those posons they sell so many of. Ain't happening.
Now see, why would I avoid soda, sugar, hydrogenated and all that if I wanted to die ?
So the point is, is the beer hurting me physically ?
You know some people can't get enough Pepsi, can't get enough Coke, can't get enough Mountain Dew. Is this just as bad ?
Things to be considered indeed, but time for work. Back later [to the monster I created here].
