Its not like there aren't still a metric ton of purveyors of liquid death and destruction. People would be better off in every way with the return of Opium dens, at least they don't destroy your physical and mental body as badly and irreoverably than/as alcohol

This is to say nothing of the violence and murdery shit that directly flows from alcohol consumption, statistically speaking

If you are looking for how alcohol, despite the author acknowledging that alcohol is physically not great for humans, has some positive benefits, I highly recommend checking out the below:

Drunk: How We Sipped, Danced, and Stumbled Our Way to Civilization Hardcover by Edward Slingerland

https://www.amazon.com/Drunk-Sipped-Danced-Stumbled-Civiliza...

I appreciate that but truth be told, I'm not interested in learning or experiencing any more from that product + soectrum of relevant lifestyles. Thanks tho, but I have learned many diffict lessons that Im equal parts grateful for and being away from going forward :)

What about sugars and fast food? Heart disease is a leading cause of death and diabetes in rising in most populations. We have sugary drinks and fast food to thank for it. Strange I don't see culture warriors going after these things. Feels more like a come back of good old Puritanism perhaps. No thanks.

Death liquids come in many carbohydrate-based offerings and forums. They all suck, we're talking about alcohol right now. We can't shut down everything at once or snap fingers and change people'seating habits willy-nilly, can we? Should we even try if we can't do it perfectly, immediately, and seamlessly?

I don't believe we should shut down any of these places. In moderation they are all fine. Advocating for abstinence is a proven failed strategy and requires fairly authoritarian methods to make work.

Educating people is the only moral approach, but these days anyones opinion is as valid as expert knowledge so that is out the window.

I'm not advocating for abstinence, I'm advocating for people relocating to whats open if they want to do pub stuff. I'm simply stating my conviction that the fewer places (nothing about 0 or overly-prohibitive), the generally better off society is as long as there is help finding a new income and stabillity and a reasonable offramp for those affected in terms of employment since its unthinkable to simply provide an income for people so we can all be ok on that front.

I did share my personal take on what I want and don't want going forward beacause of where I was with it in my life and where I'm going now that I am not weighed down and mutated by it any further.

There's zero coercion. If people want to try to grt off, I would say talk to your dr and request nalfamene so you can still drink what you like but in a context that starts to remove the psychological and physical hooks it digs into anyone who loses the plot with it. If you need the anxiety help, request baclofen as an adjuvant and work your way down at whatever pace if at all that works for you

Nalfamene or naltrexone or whatever opidoid antagonists are available thru NHS is a successfull and affirming approach that makesit simple and likely to be successfull with attenuating issues with addiction and use of alcohol. I get I'm n=1 but what's the harm in exploring your options?

If I loved someone and I was invested/wanted them to heal and organically redefine their relationship with alc, I would help them with this even if I had to take them to the Dr myself to ensure they walked out with what they need and there was no ambiguity about how they are to honor the regiment that is available for their healing.

If I don't care for someone, I remain silent and return my efforts to address my own imperfections and pain so everyone is better of if I meet them or not

Fast food is constantly derided.

I personally believe that lack of physical activity actually plays a larger role in what drives the resulting health issues.

Liquid death doesn’t contain alcohol.

They can't copyright or whatever otherwise reserve and deter me for professing a metaphor. I stand by what I said, that would not be a popular lawsuit if I were mistaken and I would be answering fully to it. Cheeky tho =D

Edi: okay, give me a few months' headstart, got some other nails to hit so I don't continue to step on them as I approach. They will have to come to me tho, I don't do international lawsuits lol. The quality or expense or dilligence of their anti-accountabillity hit squad are of zero consequence to me and they will come to know accountabillity finally.
