I've never been an alcoholic, but for a long time I felt like slightly drunk me was a better and happier me.
Turns out anxiety meds also make me a better me.
Glad I didn't embrace drink me more.
Yeah you don't want all this
One of the side effects is anxiety
As Homer Simpson says; it’s the cause of and solution to all of life’s problems
My boomer mom when it comes to anxiety/depression: Back when we were young that wasn't even a thing!
Also my mom talking about alcoholism during that time: Oh yeah half my colleagues were alcoholics that never fully recovered from it but only 2 or 3 drank themselves to death.
"Only my sister drank herself to death but fuck her I guess" "Moral failure, did she try not doing that?"
Centuries of drinking alcohol before we finally invented water filtration have really messed up our species.
I realize it’s just a joke, but from someone whose hangovers were so bad, I literally almost killed myself, I don’t recommend alcohol as medication. Fortunately I’m five years sober and been in therapy since my last drink, so there's that in case anyone needed to hear it
I mean, in a sense. Alcohol is an anxiety inducing medication... Unless you never stop drinking
Jägermeister was invented as a remedy against cold. But it turned out to be a cure for dignity.
No, but it's a first class carcinogenic.
At this point just do benzos instead. Drinking daily will fuck up your liver. Just dont increase dosage or suddenly stop taking benzos or you might die. ( same with alcohol btw.) Dont abuse them or you will find out what "benzo hell" is.
