[EDITED OUT]
I drink several litres of beer and wine daily, so yeah, a bit alcoholic maybe. It's just that I never get (nowhere near) drunk and that until some years ago I was a VERY HEAVY DRINKER (whisky coke) so this is nothing in comparison. I quit whisky in december 2013... because of reasons. I also quit smoking (2-3 packs a day). Never did other drugs. I am a health conscious person, you know. Responsible drinking my ass though.
And yeah, I fear it could drop lower.... Otherwise I would be buying with both hands.
2-3 packs seems quite a load, I normally smoke a pack a week but now when trying to quit other stuff it's a pack in 3 days and it seems quite excessive already, I get sick if I try to smoke more. Exception is only when drinking beer (6+), then I can smoke a full pack without feeling any different.
Isn't alcohol one of the worst drugs?
But yeah, our tolerance differs quite a lot, some get drunk after 3 beers already, others drink a 12pack and don't seem to be affected at all.
Yes, 2-3 packs is quite a load. So much that I had the blood *way* too dense and it led me to some health risk. So I was given the option to quit and go on with my life or risk potential critical health problems. I chose to quit smoking. I didn't intend to quit my daily whisky coke consumption... but for some reason, quitting on smoking made that drink to taste too sweet to me... so I quit it too.
If I were have able to smoke only a pack a week as you do, I would have never quit smoking. In my case it was easier to simply quit smoking for good than trying to reduce the amount. Maybe some day, when I have nothing to lose I will smoke again, I liked it.
Yeah, there is a big difference in drug tolerance for each individual.... My grandfather kept being a very heavy smoker until his late eighties and that was not what killed him.
Quitting smoking is one of the best decisions I took in my life. I would probably quit alcohol too if I considered it is putting my health at so much risk as smoking did, but I don't think so (nor do the doctors). Will I live a few years less? Probably. I accept that.
Not that I am saying alcohol doesn't have any cons. In my case, being a responsible driver, sometimes I miss driving my sports car daily. I am even contemplating selling or putting it for hire.
