Anyway, just enjoy within reason. We’re here for a good time, not a long time.

in contrast i cld have 3L of beer and wake up not feeling like that

so i feel like these shitlibe "scientiests" always pretend all alc is the same, they claim 1 beer has the same alc content as a shot. that may be technically true but the beer is 95% water and u are sipping it, the impact on ur liver and body is gonna be way less than a shot, hard liq mixed or even wine/soju

this is just my furking experience, i really dont see how u can furk ur liver just drinking beer. wine i think its possible but it wld be like 2 bottles a night

Beer’s lower alcohol concentration (typically 4-6% ABV) means you’re taking in more water and spreading the alcohol intake over time, especially if you’re sipping it. This slower absorption can reduce the peak blood alcohol concentration (BAC) compared to downing wine (12-15% ABV) or shots (40%+ ABV), which hit your system faster and harder. Your liver metabolizes alcohol at a fixed rate—about one standard drink per hour for an average person—so chugging a bottle of wine after beers likely spiked your BAC and overwhelmed your liver more than 3L of beer would, even if the total alcohol content was similar. That could explain why you felt “fucked up” waking up at 2 PM after the wine session.The “shitlib scientists” (ha) aren’t wrong about standard drink equivalency in terms of raw ethanol, but they sometimes gloss over real-world differences. Beer has more water, which can keep you hydrated and dilute the alcohol’s impact. Wine and liquor, especially when consumed quickly, stress your liver more because of the higher alcohol concentration and faster absorption. Plus, wine has compounds like congeners and sulfites that can worsen hangovers for some people, which might’ve contributed to your rough morning.

medically speaking one or two a day is healthy for the blood if the liver isn't stressed

That said, having actually looked at the latest epidemiology on this, the answer is probably (and some people on XO will hate this) that you shouldn’t have more than 2 drinks a week if you don’t want to materially increase your chance of contracting cancer in your lifetime (I consider a .1% increase in lifetime likelihood to be material given the potential consequences of cancer—others may balk at that threshold) along with other adverse health effects.

If you’re at 3/4/5 drinks a week, you’re still in the reasonable lower increased risk category but you also need to accept that you *are* taking on some additional risk in exchange for consuming more alcohol (approaching a 1% increased risk level).

Anything beyond that I just consider stupid, like opting to smoke cigarettes in 2025, and all the old guidelines about how having a drink or two a day is a-okay (or even healthy for you lol) are bullshit and the product of industry influence.

edit: and this data would be based on recollections from people who end with cancer over decades, absolute horseshit come on man
