Comment on big mug

I know this is a shitpost but I’ve noticed something lately and I just want to share it somewhere. I’m a middle-aged white woman for context, and I’m not much of a drinker in the first place but also lately I’ve gotten headaches from wine so I’m not into it. Meanwhile, the ladies I know who do like wine? Like they really like wine. Anytime there is an opportunity for wine, they’re excited. And they find ways to include wine in occasions it normally would not be available. It’s such a fucking stereotype and yet, and yet, good god do they live up to it!

Might be the sulfites in wine giving you the headache. Not that I’m encouraging anyone to drink more, but if you want to, try out sulfite-free wine and see if that alleviates any problems.

  Or, you know, don’t look for a way around it, and just don’t drink. That’s an option.

  Or try vodka. See if that helps.

    That’s a headache for a different reason.

    It’s all just a matter of volume.

  I figure as much, too. I never buy wine for myself; I only drink it at potlucks, which I seem to have a lot of in my life. (And I’m rarely a host so I shouldn’t have much if I’m driving away soon after, anyway.) So I’ve just kinda stopped. That’s okay! I recently learned how to make clarified milk punch, so I’ll drink that instead when I want something alcoholic.

Alcohol hits different for some people, for me almost all of it tastes terrible and I just feel sleepy or dumb

I can’t understand how people get drunk and have the energy to fuck, I’m passed out

Same thing with drugs tbh

I enjoyed reading your unrelated story of the adventures of middle aged women.

Solid 8/10

I wonder if people just used to be more accustomed to alcohol at times that we now think it’s inappropriate, so the sort of people who are always happy to add a little alcohol to a situation have always been around but we notice it more these days. We were at one of my kids soccer games and my mother-in-law quipped that back in the day when my wife was playing in the same youth soccer league, they used to sell beer at the games. She joked that you couldn’t get half the parents to show up for a game if there wouldn’t be booze! I think she was trying to say she’s glad they don’t sell beer at kids soccer games anymore, but either way the very idea shocked me.
