2019-01-20 at 2:46 AM UTCI gotta say, kinda cruel. Not even so much to me, but to the dude in the video.
I guess I lol'd a little bit, because sometimes I do wake up jonesing for an alcoholic beverage, and I might feel a bit "off" as I get myself up and make my way to the liquor store...
I've never been that bad though.
I honestly just feel bad for the guy.

The thing about Lanny and I (and I'm just assuming here, but I'm confident in that assumption) is that we're both high-functioning alcoholics.
When you can sustain a professional demeanour, strong work ethic, and so on and so forth, alcoholism never really takes full force.
It's a gift very few of us have. -

Yes, he did it to himself by drinking to the point of dependency, but what do you think caused that? People who are addicted aren't to be shamed, they need help. You're an asshole. Fuck you. -

2019-01-20 at 7:27 PM UTCI consider myself incredibly lucky, actually, that my alcoholism is reserved strictly to night-time drinking (except for rare occasions in which I partake in the early ingestion of spirits and other ethanol-based beverages).
My life could have gone in an entirely different direction if I hadn't developed that particular habit.
I'm thinking of taking another extended break, though.
Not just for the sake of my liver, but mainly because consistent alcohol use makes maintaining certain fitness and weight-loss goals a real pain in the ass. -
2019-01-20 at 7:34 PM UTCAlcoholism is fucked up. One of the few withdrawals that can just straight up kill you, which is insane to think about. It really does become as essential as food.
Would rather have our alcohol culture switched out with opium. -

There would have been a time where I'd have 100% endorsed this substitution, but opiates/opioids in general can be pretty damn addictive as well. There was a time when I truly believed that I'd be better off dead than not on opiates. Opium might be natural, and virtually harmless to the body, but it is so dependency-inducing that you pretty much end up needing to be on it for every waking moment.
One thing that I considered, and deliberated over, is, of course, that, if it's completely benign to the body, then why not remain in a constant state of opioid neuroactivity?
This then leads to a more philosophical question - one that always reminds me of the following experience machine thought experiment.
Basically, it poses the question: If there was a machine that you could connect to and be rendered into a constant state of bliss, but be completely detached from the real world, would you do it?
If you really think about it, there are lots of arguments both for and against it. It's not so cut and dry. -

Yeah I kinda of thought it was Parkinson's at first, but I have seen some people go through some pretty horrific alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Since I rarely binge, I haven't had the displeasure of such an experience first-hand, although I have come close through combined GABAergic withdrawals (after lots of drinking, plus benzos and GHB), although never this bad.
Opiate withdrawals, on the other hand, while not fatally dangerous, can be incredibly unpleasant. -
2019-01-20 at 7:49 PM UTCWow, "anger" is converted to "anger"...
That makes saying the word "dangerous" pretty confusing...
"Dangerous". -

One man’s ceiling is another man’s floor
Constant bliss can be considered a severe mental illness you don’t know you have, or said bliss becomes inescapable hell
Interesting thought experiment
