  If you abused any stims that make you lose weight a lot, dropping them usually pushes your bodyweight in the other direction. Know a few people like this. They always relapse

  Alcohol is not usually considered a drug.

    That is cultural. It’s poison you take to change your mind state and small enough amounts are usually tolerable enough to not cause too much of a problem. I have a drink from time to time but to say otherwise is incorrect.

    That said, I’m not sure where I said that it was.

      Ok now put it in context to this conversation. The post said he gained weight after he became sober from “drug abuse”. You said it is unlikely to gain weight when you quit abusing alcohol. So therefore… He was not abusing alcohol but some other drug that has a side effect of weight loss. You’re welcome, now you can continue not using your brain.

    A drug is literally any substance one consumes for its effects, rather than for sustenance.

    Meth is a drug

    Ibuprofen is a drug

    Marijuana is a drug

    Caffeine is a drug

    Ketamine is a drug

    Alcohol is a drug

      not to forget nicotine…

      the amount of rehab places that allow for nicotine is nuts
