My alcohol consumption has increased dramatically during quarantine

that is one of the many problems with alcohol. many people who drink alcohol either do so recklessly or slowly increase their intake until it is reckless.

smoke weed, bruv. it's much healthier for you, physically and mentally.

Pint bottles of Guinness

Have a big yard.

Smoke of any kind trashes your lungs. You potheads better hope you never get Covid - underlying condition and all.

Anyway, geeks smoke weed. Real men drink.

you do realize that you can vapourize flower (which is what i do) or use edibles, neither of which has any of the effect that is attributed to smoking (both are actually approved by governing bodies of health professionals for medical cannabis).

if being a real man means sucking a high caloric poison down my gullet while getting fat and stupid, then i'll stick with the ganja and be a geek. i never liked nascar, mullets, or country music anyway, so i won't be missing anything.

Geeks do not smoke weed... Burn outs smoke weed.

Geeks become rich and successful and drink high end whiskey and wine at steak dinners.

Burn outs smoke weed around a fire on a camping trip aka their home.

i know plenty of geeks who smoke weed, highly successful and rich people too. i also know burn outs who smoke weed.

i know plenty of highly successful and rich people who drink alcohol. i also know alcoholics, wife beaters, and white trash people who drink alcohol.

sounds like your impression is based more on an after-school special than on reality, pal.

Neither smoking or high alcohol consumption are good for you. It doesn’t make one any more of a “man” or “cool” because they can consume a liquid with alcohol in it. What makes a “man” or any person is taking care of your responsibilities. I hope this situation shows many of the immature people just how much they need to grow up. OP imo you need help. I suggest calling your doctor and asking their opinion on your current alcohol consumption.

We all do realize that running is not good for you either, right?

Pick your poison.

This is my reality. Granted I am east coast. Things may be different out west, but the habitual weed smokers are doing nothing with their life.

Habitual drinkers are all high functioning alcoholics

i can 100% guarantee that habitual drinkers are not "all high functioning alcoholics" in the same way that i can 100% guarantee that not all habitual smokers are doing nothing with their life.

you need to broaden your horizons.

I feel it too.

Your consumption affects me a lot.

I've been drinking more beer as well but it's spread out over a longer period of time. I'm not even getting drunk since my liquor reserves are now exhausted and the local store is way too sketchy for my tastes in these times. I may go there eventually but not soon.

Me and my buddies like to get liquored up and go around town slapping potheads all upside the head.

I’m a long time alcoholic but a fairly high functioning one at that and tend to consume at least 8 - 12 beers a day or 2 - 3 bottles of wine.

Since this corona storm blew in, I’ve found myself adding in hard liquor now in the evenings on top of my usual intake - mostly good Scotch or Rum. Typically 4 - 5 stiff ones.

It’s a combination of being off work and the anxiety of this situation which makes me want to be permanently inebriated.

Tough times but the booze and good music and books are getting me through!

All the best to everyone.

Yep, my drinking is up, and my mileage is down!

Pre Covid: 2-3 drinks/week on 40 mpw

During Covid: 7-10 drinks/week on 10 mpw (treadmill - which sucks).

Just know that more than 10-14 drinks per week for men is doing damage to your liver and other organs. Some is reversible. Others, over time, not. All things in moderation, guys. None of us are teflon.

drinking is up from 1-2 drinks a week to 1-2 bottle(s) of wine a week

mileage is also up from 30-40ish to 60mpw

sometimes run after a few glasses of wine, would not recommend

Since my marathon was cancelled and the whole covid situation, my alcohol intake has increased dramatically (daily).

Having said that, i have broke 4 prs in the past 3 weeks. 30km, 1/2 marathon, 15km and 5km.
