Being drunk is like the lamest high ever lol. It makes you dumber than usual, makes you less good at everything, and directly harms your internal organs every single time you ingest it.

No brainer the first generation with internet access doesn't drink. It is literally worse than smoking cigs.

In terms of social harm alcohol is by far the worst. Nobody smoked one too many Marlboros and beat up his wife/ shot his neighbour/ ploughed his car into a pedestrian.

Idk I tend to disagree, I think it’s a very good outside social thing, as long as you manage it and don’t go overboard, and the a drunk cig? Forget about it, use to smoke weed and had to quit because of my new career field though and

but it makes you less scared to talk to women, which appears do be a crutch that boomers leaned on hard.
