What a copium, you not only do it but you managed to convince yourself is good for you.

Yes, but… speaking from experience, it is definitely possible to overdo it on that angle. The psychological impacts of heavy long term use are… shall we say, unsubtle, but at the same time, REALLY hard to admit and see for yourself if you’re in the throes of it.

I've been California sober for a year and I feel much better, I do miss drinking sometimes tho.

Fun fact: amphibians can't breath while eating or drinking because they lack the "wall" between mouth and nose. They can touch the nose with their tongue from the inside. I'm not sure about reptiles

That just means I no longer have to worry about the fact that I probably wont ever see a dime of the social security I payed into for my entire career

Once you're dead you've got no problems to cope with. Win win!
