Let me begin by saying, I drink very rarely; few times a year.
When I drink, i get the feeling that my brain in running on powersaving mode; only the most basic functions are operational. It’s a fun feeling when I’m drinking, but I can’t imagine doing that regularly.
I’m not sure if this constitutes as bragging but I am proud of the fact that I can recall information quite well, and any activity which hinders this is not to my liking. The hangover is also bad, where the brain is slow for the next entire day.
I want to know the community thinks about drinking and how it effects/doesn’t affects their work and life and how they get around it. Any alternatives and tips?
I can respectfully disagree with that. I think there are some hobbies which can both bring joy to one’s life and not cause any harm (unless you take it to a crazy extreme). Example; collecting stamps. Doesn’t cause anyone any harm. Can be be harmful? If you spend thousands of dollars to get one rare stamp and ignoring your family duties, yes it can be harmful. However, such examples are extremely rare.
Drinking can be done moderately, I agree. But saying it’s the same as any other activity is a no from me.
But thanks for sharing. I may try some non-alcoholic beer.
