I think what you're missing is that getting drunk is very fun.

[-] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago

This is it.

Some people drink 1 tequila, do a Hangover, and go, "Drinking is bad" smh

[-] Boxtifer@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

To be fair, alcohol is a poison.

So is caffeine but we love coffee, tea, and chocolate too.

I get where you're going but how many coffees does it take to kill a person vs how many beers

[-] meliaesc@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

About 4g of caffeine is lethal, https://www.npr.org/2023/12/07/1217758671/a-lawsuit-says-a-man-died-after-drinking-a-highly-caffeinated-beverage-at-panera

The lethal dose of alcohol is about 5 to 8 grams per kilogram of body weight.

Well, to be fair, as a 6 foot tall person I can only bandle one, maybe two drinks because of my genetics.

Drinking isn't inherently bad, but it certainly isn't too fun for me!

Not to me, I’ve never understood that sentiment. I can act as silly as I want without being drunk, and I hate how it turns other people into almost different people. If I wanted to be friends with their drunken selves, I wouldn’t be friends with their sober selves.

Yeah I've noticed there's a divide in the population in which half the people "know what it's like" to get drunk, and it really isn't for them. And they're baffled by people who love to get drunk. It's a different experience. People don't get drunk just "to act as silly as they want", that should be obvious.
