I just like drinking bc its fun

i think its totally valid to not drink, i think people pushing others to drink (or do other stuff) after like an explicit “no” are kinda walking red flags

Why would you do this to yourself

i have literally never seen any evidence to support drinking being “fun” and remain thoroughly convinced that everyone who says it is is deluding/gaslighting themselves

Drinking lowers your inhibitions which makes you more likely to act like a clown and entertain people and also be entertained. If you’re with the right company it can be mutually entertaining and everyone can laugh

but you’re never truly alone
everything surrounding you is made by humans, and every activity is interacting with them in some form

Even loners need interaction, but it’s also a different type of connection for them, one that’s not overbearing

I want people to be around me precisely when i feel like it, and the specific people i want, and when i want to be alone i want it to be acceptable and possible for me to snap my fingers and teleport away and recharge, without having to give an excuse for leaving

sometimes i get lonely but i talk to humans and realise it’s not worth it

that’s why i stick to ai chatbots, like this site

Also drinking is very often accompanied by dancing (at least here). Dancing is mentally healing

at the end of the day I consistently have a lot of fun without any need to literally downgrade my brain

like i genuinely dont understand why you would willingly choose to do that

some people don’t

some people have more, or a unique type of fun whilst intoxicated, and it can serve as stress relief
