Comment on Work as a waiter

  more than a few drinks a week

  More than 0. There is no save amount of alcohol. But almost nothing we do is save. Go outside in the sun? Cancer! Eat fat/sugar? Heart/Liver failure! Stress from work and doomscrolling? Depression and anxiety!

  Choose your poison, but know it is poisonous! Cheers 🍻

    For sure, but in the context of “fucking up your brain” I’m talking about the line where you move from “increasing your risk of certain problems” to “actively developing lesions in your brain”.

  What constitutes “more than a few” here?

      My wife worries about my drinking. I might have 18 cans of beer in a year if I’m really going crazy.

    The other comment is a pretty good baseline (1 a day), but there is some nuance to it. Gender/body size/age, etc all play a role. And it matters if youre literally doing 1 a day or averaging 1 a day. Having 7 drinks every saturday is not the same and have 1 drink with dinner every day.

    The best answer is, consult your medical professional

      And even then, if you’re having 1 a day, you are right up at the edge of being a “heavy drinker”.
