Don’t believe those who say they can handle If someone tells you they can handle their liquor because they drink heavily and frequently, don’t believe it, a new study suggests. They are may be more impaired than they know

    Holy shit. It is way too easy, living in Wisconsin, to normalize alcohol use disorder. Damn. So many people in my life meet the definition of “heavy social drinker”. I’m not far off. I really need to dry out.

      Grew up in the Maritimes in Canada and that sort of culture was there for me, too. I definitely had some bad alcohol habits in my early to mid 20s. At one point, I could go through a 1.5 litre of wine solo, no problem.

      I’ve dried out somewhat. Still a few drinks a week, but moderation is good (and cheaper)
