QUIT DRINKING ALCOHOL - One of The Most Eye Opening Motivational Videos Ever

[Route 45]

I find it odd that someone who can't handle his liquor feels the need to push so hard to control people who don't have that weakness. Alcohol should be banned because you can't handle it?

Great. Now do guns.

Does hording it count? No seriously, I have a problem with hording alcohol..

I have developed a weird habit of buying bourbon and scotch, expensive stuff, and then just hording it in my gun room..

I just rarely get the itch to drink, and when I do, I pour something and forget to sip on it..lol, I likely only have a scant few drinks per year. And then its whatever I can find in the mini bottles that are about one shot.. Because if you open a big bottle, it all goes to waste when you only take one shot, and never touch it again for months.

But I have this weird urge to get expensive bottles, with interesting designs, and sit them on a shelf.. and then just look at them.
Single Malts, Bourbons, stuff like that. And then just literally never open them.

Lord when I die, someone will have one hell of a wake...

Look, if you need help, all you gotta do is ask.

Nothing wrong with that at all. I remember beer can collections being popular in the 70's. Some people collect power pole insulators just for their different colors and designs. Collecting things that are useful (like expensive booze and guns) is even more legit.

I uhh may have a number of railroad relays and insulators elsewhere too..

Anyway, this whole.... concept is ironic.

We tried this before you all, Prohibition?
The result. Gangs smuggled Booze and used the money to buy machine guns..

The result? Alcohol was legalized with the 21st Amendment, and the 1934 National Firearms Act was enacted...

Wait.. now that I say it like that, how the hell does that even make sense... freaking Government.
Legalize the cause, but ban the symptom?

*sigh*

FYI, I stopped drinking again last night. Just like ever other night.

It's interesting what the first thing that comes into some minds, when an attempt is made to educate? Prohibition is assumed, when it was never a part of the conversation?

Similarly with drugs and other intoxicants education, the first thing that comes to mind with some is law changing (or lack of.) Prohibition, again presumed as the conversation vs the education of what the use of the chemical intoxicant does to one's health?


Strange...

Really? Never was a part of the conversation?

Had to look that up...

What is gaslighting? Examples and how to respond

Gaslighting causes someone to doubt their sanity, perceptions, or memories. It is a form of psychological abuse. Here is how to respond.

...Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse where a person causes someone to question their sanity, memories, or perception of reality. People who experience gaslighting may feel confused, anxious, or unable to trust themselves...


Thanks! Amazing what can be learned when content is actually consumed, rather than written off without knowledge of the subject matter.

It's called projection. He can't handle it, so he assumes no one else can either. Same as anti-gun liberals and guns.

You're sorry they fell for it? Why are you blaming people for you not being clear? You posted it without comment. How should readers know what message you intended by posting it? Do you agree with the clickbaity video thumbnail? How would anyone know?

Posting the video without comment, at face value, enters that as part of the conversation, even if unintended. It's fair for people to think it is part of the conversation, which is why you had to clarify. People post things all the time without thinking about how people will take it. It's fine. We all do it. But then blaming people for you not making it clear isn't helping. I mean. Why not just say, "Yeah, sorry about that. I did not post that to say it should be banned. I posted it because I think it has good information about the ill effects of drinking."

I watched it. It’s making a case for quitting, more than it’s making to case to prohibit it. But add the thumbnail and banning it fits right in. But it’s nothing you haven’t heard before about the bad effects of alcohol. They cite some facts and some hyperbole.

Isn’t this a projection? How would you know he’s advocating against drinking because he can’t handle it? Why is that the assumption you made and not one if the more likely reasons?

Two truisms for ya.

Thou doth protest too much.
If it walks like a duck...

Nobody gives this much of a **** about an issue without having some kind of personal problem with it.
