    Responding to the alcohol bit, it’s a real eye opener once you realize that even if you don’t drink enough to feel hungover the next day it makes you feel depressed and anxious. I like my bourbon but geez you can’t even have one drink as you get older.

      Totally. And ever since I hit 30 or so, I have to be so mindful of my consumption or else I just get these absolutely wicked hangovers. And I’m not even talking benders, I’m talking two or three craft beers without consciously drinking a ton of water. It’s such a hassle that I’m almost always sober nowadays.

      i wish that were true in my case; i didn’t touch a drop when i was young, so a single drink used to be enough, but now i have have a dozen and i barely feel tipsy.

        During and after COVID I drank too much and was the same way. A month before my child was born I suddenly had the ability to drop to a normal level of drinking, CDC recommended level, and not it affects me wildly. Maybe give a few weeks break and see how you feel. It’s cheaper!

          yeah, i regain my alcohol virginity fairly quickly in a few weeks, but i also become a slut again almost just as quickly.

          fortunately there’s other substances that can fill for me in while bounce back and forth between virginity and sluttiness. lol

          yes, i’m always on one tolerance break or another when it comes to alcohol, weed, caffeine, and sex; somehow those last 2 are always the most difficult. lol
