Alcohol's positive effects on consciousness

@LyubovHmm, I would say there are far better ways to increase sex energy than drink. I have and enjoy amazing ecstatic sex and I don’t drink, generally.

What have you found that increases sex energy and passion?

Interesting post. I Agree with what you say about wine, but definitely in moderation and how you use it.

I'm out of alcohol.

Society has pushed too-much of it into my life already.

Stopping drinking only made my life better. Not drinking and communicating that clearly builds lots of authenticity, assertiveness, and social resilience.

I agree that intentional use may have its place, but the way in which alcohol is currently consumed facilitates unintentional and too-frequent use. Similar to social media. You download Instagram with the idea to use it intentionally, next thing you know you've wasted hours of your life.

Sometimes it's just easier to cut something off completely.

@Yimpa very good, I don't understand how alcohol got so normalised. I almost never drink and feel much better that way. Also I think it made me stay out of allot of trouble, because when you drink you get on a lower vibe and dark stuff gets attracted to you, like getting into a fight with someone or some other bullshit. 

People used to drink alcohol exclusively, as it was sanitary.

@yetineti yeah it must have been way worse in midievil times. Now a trend is going on where gen z no longer drinks, which is actually quite good news, maybe we truely are awakening as a society.

Been straight edge most of my life and zero alcohol but you have to let loose every now and then for balance imo

I've never gotten a chance to develop a real relationship with alcohol one way or another because I'm alcohol intolerant. I turn red like a beet if I drink too much too quickly (which is very little) and get full body hives, and depending on what kind of alcohol it is, I'm likely to suddenly and violently throw up before I get to experience almost all of the "fun stuff". (Beer is a lot easier to tolerate than either wine or liquors.) 

My Chinese mom is the same; apparently 30-50% of East Asians have the same condition. I'm only half though, so I must have gotten it from her...

On the plus side, it feels pretty much impossible to become alcoholic one way or another because the condition is like negative Pavlovian conditioning. 

 

Anyway, I guess I just have to use my imagination?

You would be surprised what a lot of people are on that goes way beyond alcohol.

I drink alcohol sparely but I don't romanticise it. Alcohol is not good in general, but sometimes it can be the lesser bad of two things in your mind.

If alcohol was invented today it would probably be illegal. It's one of the few drug where addiction is physically dangerous to oneself. It's literally poison.
