>acetyl-aldehyde passes into the blood brain barrier >the feeling of being drunk is actually your brain cells literally being destroyed indiscriminately
acetaldehyde* frick i can't spell. if you're an alcoholic and you want to quit you need to replace your booze with sugar and gradually wean off the sugar over a period of months
underrated post, then again ppl on fit dont know how to read more than 4 consecutive sentences.
wtf does the v/v mean though, does low ethanol intake mean like 4% say abv, or a glass of wine or what
The message is that chronic low-dose alcohol consumption is very unlikely to be bad for you and could potentially even be good for you. Moderate drinkers tend to live longer than both non drinkers and heavy alcoholics. it's thought that's mostly due to moderate drinkers being healthy sociable individuals that would live longer anyway, but there seems to be a strong possibility that the alcohol itself is beneficial in the correct context.
[...] > so the way i understand that would be the equivelent of a beer then
Yep. I'm not sure if the percentages directly translate to what percentage would have the same effects on humans, though. I wouldn't be replacing water with beer for the rest of my life, myself, but at the very least I think it's safe to say that alcohol=bad is an oversimplification and it's more complicated than that.
Still a few years from actually having a phd, but I'll get there. Fwiw my regimen is to drink a 12 pack every weekend. It has nothing to do with science I just hate my life. I suspect that actual therapeutic alcohol consumption would be something along the lines of 1-3 glasses of wine or a few beers a day or something, stopping well short of intoxication.

>it's thought that's mostly due to moderate drinkers being healthy sociable individuals that would live longer anyway,
It's probably because a couple drinks helps me stop thinking about work long enough to do normal human things at the end of the day and not get sucked into a vortex of obsession.
>Is ONE shot of pure vodka per day good?
No. And the fact that, out of all alcoholic beverages, you chose the one that is the closest to industrial grade solvent tells me that you drink more than one shot of vodka a day, and it isn't for any health benefit.
>No. And the fact that, out of all alcoholic beverages, you chose the one that is the closest to industrial grade solvent
You're a degenerate. Vodka is purest of spirits and will give you least hangover than any other common drink for same amount of alcohol.
Theoretically yes it would lower your blood glucose level and cause your liver to pull glycogen and lower AMPK but a glass of red wine has better total effects
Sounds like you've been there and recovered and that gives me hope. I'm getting worse though and I'm honestly scared. I'm never happy and I'm afraid what it's going to take to quit.
Frick are you supposed to do after work if not get shitfaced? >if I go work on my apartament after work I come home like 7 something pm and by 8pm I have already poured one and I got like 2 hours more to watch a mobie or play a gaym with friends >if I go straight home after work I am home before 5pm, I workout and by 6-7pm I am free which leaves me 3+ hours to drink
Cook a nice meal, engage in a hobby, do something beneficial like an extra course or something. Read a book, play vidya without drinking.
I used to pop open a drink as soon as I got home from work. The first month was rough of not drinking, but it got easier. You're habitual, so the reason why you even posed the question "what else am I supposed to do" is easily answered by "everything you have been doing but without alcohol."
if you want to drop acocholism and want to taper down instead of going cold turkey lowering % content instead of total volume has better chance of succes.
no. no.
bro is hoping
quit drinking
Any alcohol at all ever is bad for you.
uncle scooby

Percent by volume I believe, as in volume EtOH/total volume. They fed mice 3.5% alcohol/water solution.
What did it say? I can't read because I'm getting loaded on some Vodka

I drink a fifth a day, does this help with gains?
Man... I'm so sorry. 5th a day was a hard way to live.
Digits and your recovery begins tomorrow. Christ is King.

Would never do again
Why didn't you post photo of hot female girl? Do you expect me to give you serious answer or what?
Only before driving

>Is ONE shot of 9mm ammo to the leg per day good? Any hormesis effect?
Yes, but beer is better. I have run anecdotal tests and 3 pints a day is ideal.
