I stopped drinking cos it made me feel depressed the following day. Even if i only had one drink. It would be interesting to know the effects on mental health too.
Wonder if the binging of more C-Dramas and K-dramas while at home, where heavy drinking is often portrayed as par for the course is leading to people thinking it's cool to drink.
The most important part of drinking most drinks is the sugar intake and metabolisation. If you drink beer the alcohol content is typically 5 to 8% by volume but the sugar content may be a few weight percent . If you drink whisky the alcohol content may be 40% ABV but the sugar content is nearly zero. Elderly cardiac patients are sometimes recommended to take a glass of whisky each evening, never a glass of beer. A persons resistance to sugar metabolism is highly variable. Diabetics know that if sensitive, sugar is lethal irrespective of alcohol consumption. In fact cardiac patients regularyl get given blood thinners that behave like alcohol in the body. Whilst it is true that alcohol can be addictive, sugar is much more addictive and dangerous, but is often overlooked by investigative programmes.
It would be interesting to know if a larger person drinking alcohol, if the effects or measure by the likes of a RBT test would be the same as a smaller person? Also, if someone drinking regularly builds up a tolerance there by the RBT test doesn't measure the same as someone who doesn't drink as often?
Or, hear me out, it takes more than 14 days of regular drinking for the negative impact of the alcohol to be visible. Judging from this video when compared to their cannabis video, it makes me feel like the Singapore people are much more heavily biased towards alcohol than towards cannabis, even though alcohol is an order of magnitude worse for your health then cannabis.
I wonder if the results would be the same over a period of lets say , 5 - 10 years , I think the research was rather naive and might also mislead some into heavy consumption of alcohol .... alcohol affects your body on the long run , 2 weeks is very short to make any conclusions , or tests !
I can generally down 10 cans of beer over a drinking session without feeling overly drunk. its very funny because when I first started drinking I was afraid that I might be losing it after 3 or 4 cans and just remember waking up at a strange place or be in an accident or something but that was not the case. So I guess my alcohol tolerance is quite high, of course not something to be proud of but I do control my alcohol intake nowadays. I only drink on a Friday or Saturday night
How come everyone I have known that drinks like a sailor and is almost always half drunk lives well into their old age while all the people that stay away from alcohol an cigarettes and monitors their health die in their early 50's ???
"53% are drinking less. 10% are drinking more. Oh no!" Celebrate the win, man. This sounds like good news. I'm one of the 53% after being a heavy drinker pre-pandemic. I drink for taste though, not "to get crunk!" so it was a real challenge to find a good non-alcoholic substitute. For anyone else who was in the same boat as me, Clausthaler is your answer. It's indistinguishable taste-wise from other beer with similar flavor profiles and I pair it with everything that would normally go well with beer (yakitori, anything fried, soupy dishes, etc). Unfortunately, I have yet to find a good non-alcoholic substitute for red wine to pair with a good ribeye.
The non-alcoholic beverage proprietor said "people who are pregnant," not women who are pregnant. PC woke or just accidental? (Some say there are pregnant women who don't consider themselves women.)
