Drinking

JT

I have always found it bizarre that NT people drink for anything and everything.

You got a promotion, shall we go and drink to celebrate?

You're friend died, shall we go for a drink to commiserate?

You don't feel well, shall we...?

Given what we know about the effects of alcohol & smoking, on health, why would you invite someone to damage themself to celebrate or commiserate something?

Seems to me that NT people accept these things, even with all the facts, under some sort of unspoken cultural pretense that includes them in an invisible club where traditions matter more than logic?

  • i had a bit of trouble and stress at work myself and i found that strong alcohol like vodka relaxed made me forget and set my mind straight like a reset on the stress issues. its bad way to cope though yeah, a slippery slope if you let it continue.... lucky for me im super tight fisted in money and my groceries only cost £20 per week so vodka the cheapest being £10 even puts me off it and is a rare occasion that id bother justifying buying.
