I think they should allow prisoners to make and drink all the toilet wine they want. (I've never been to prison, but the buzz isn't good.)

Anyway, I haven't had a drop in almost year and I was almost running up the walls last night in the throes of a major existential crisis. I was stabbing my couch just to get out some nervous aggression. It's a shitty couch I'll admit, but I'm glad there weren't any people around. You know, prison and all. I got some cheap wine and feel a-ok about things now! Zero violent impulses. I can't be the only one who's more civilized with booze. The British navy must have given out grog for some reason right? What do you guys think?

What has more fights, bars or coffeehouses?

What has more drunk people in them, emergency rooms and police stations, or libraries and gyms?

British navy gave out grog because the alcohol helped keep the microbe levels down in the water.

Drinking only makes you feel good in the short term, it is only temporary and not only doesn't adress the original problem, but can make it worse.

THere are plenty of studies available for the effects of alcohol over the long term in large numbers. It definitely doesn't make people less violent.

It also slows your reaction time, and lowers the amount of oxygen getting to your brain.

It makes you literally less intelligent.

For example, you drank a wine, and felt a buzz, and now all of a sudden you think it's a good idea for prisoners to drink toilet wine.

Of course nothing I have said applies to drinking in moderation.

Different self-medication strokes for different folks I guess. Little disappointed nobody told me to kill myself, but thanks for the thoughtful feedback guys. I used to make booze out of apple cider when I was a teenager. Maybe I'll try the grapefruit later. Thanks ex-con anon.

Alcohol is the nastiest drug ever. No other drug's withdrawal will kill you.

Yes, withdrawal from heroin is fucking unpleasant, it will make you wish it killed you while you are in it, but it will not kill you.

But DTs can be fatal. You see, if you drink too much alcohol replaces the GABA neurotransmitter and your brain cells stop making it. And when you go cold turkey, you suddenly have no alcohol and no GABA and you are fucked.

I am an alcoholic and have been drinking heavily on and off since I was 12, I would have been better off if I had become a crackhead. Better yet, should have become a stoner.
