  • Step 1: Start Drinking

  • Step 2: Don't Stop

This sounds expensive. I'm poor.

Ignore other necessities and beg for drink money

due to the liquor laws in america, certain types of booze have very high quality standards....
namely Vodka, Scotch, and Bourbon...
(vodka must be made into nearly pure ethanol and then diluted, scotch must be aged 3 years in scotland... so it's always decent, and bourbon has a bunch of fun rules too... i don't really like bourbon though)

the health part always makes me stop my drinking problems though... i just can't handle it...
getting a little tipsy consistently is possible to maintain a functioning alcoholism though... be sure to stay extra hydrated and alcohol inhibits vitamin absorption... so... whatever

Can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning!

Ah that's where I went wrong, I got stuck on step 1, thanks!

Have you considered smoking? Alcohol gives me a headache. But there's many options on things to smoke - tobacco, weed, fentanyl, etc.. /s

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I've tried it; it doesn't help.

[–] MagicShel@programming.dev 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Turn on Fox news and take a drink every time someone says something stupid. Two drinks if it's a debunked lie. See you in 2025!

[–] numberfour002@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Odds are slim they'll survive to 2025 drinking at that pace.
