Popular Post spidermike007 Posted August 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2023 43 minutes ago, fredwiggy said: If a person can enjoy a glass of wine or beer a day, it's not an addiction, and can actually be beneficial to health. Over one drink it can start to be a problem. Weekend drinking, a few glasses, isn't an addiction in any way. People have been drinkers and lived to 100, as long as they drink moderately, eat healthy, exercise and get enough sleep. It is about personal discipline. If one cannot live without a drink every day, there is a real issue. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandsomeTallFarang Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) The only thing more boring than a drunk, is an ex-drunk telling everyone (unasked) how long it's been since he had his last drink.

Popular Post GammaGlobulin Posted August 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 10, 2023 6 hours ago, BoganInParasite said: Interesting coincidence because I dropped my Aussie mate off to the airport to return home from a visit a year ago today. Which means I haven't had alcohol (usually beer) for one year today. Not sure why. I also haven't had a conversation with anyone other than the wife for the same period. Don't really like interacting with people. Yes.. Alcohol can lead to depression. But, "interacting with people" can be the worst downer of them all. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GammaGlobulin Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 10 hours ago, Lacessit said: My understanding was much of the lead poisoning during Prohibition came in the form of bullets. Be that as it may, it is estimated 1 million people still die annually from lead poisoning. Children are the worst affected. The US government mandate to add methanol to industrial ethanol was a biggy which contributed to MANY deaths. The Government ALWAYS knows best... Just like Mother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a joke. But, lead poisoning from bullets was not an appreciable causal factor for death during this age of prohibition. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8057397/ Getting shot 50 times with a Tommy Gun is usually lethal by itself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thompson_submachine_gun Edited August 10, 2023 by GammaGlobulin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up smoking as well many years ago but still have a few glasses of wine at night but gave up drinking beer or spirits which are expansive in my country.

swm59nj Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Unfortunately it seems that quite a number of expats in Thailand have alcohol consumption problems. Either full blown alcoholics or just heavy drinkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one can't stop drinking alcohol at any time, IMO one is an alcoholic. I gave it up years ago with no problems and have no desire to ever get drunk again. Waste of money better spent on things I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have an alcoholic neighbour that was unemployed, but still partied frequently with several unemployed louts. Of course they smoked as well. One wonders where they got the money from to drink and smoke considering how expensive they are. One of them that was a problem ceased to be so by getting drunk and driving a m'bike too fast.
