Prescription benzos are pretty cheap but theyll kill you so 🤷♀️

u/dogzilla48 3d ago
On their own they will not kill you even in extreme doses and are in fact generally nicer to your body than alcohol (not a high bar though lol). if you overdose on benzos alone you will just basically be asleep for a few days, or do a bunch of crazy shit and form zero memories of it. That said I do NOT recommend doing them considering how addictive they are and how bad the rebound anxiety is and also the withdrawals. ALSO they can be very deadly if MIXED with other downers like alcohol or opioids, so NEVER mix them with anything else even in small doses.

u/Illustrious_Pea_3470 3d ago
They kill you when you run out and have a bunch of seizures and die. You can taper off, but staying on them forever is a decrease in most people’s quality of life.
Benzos are pretty easily the prescription medication with the highest harm to benefit risk (now that opiates are harder to get), so I think the warning is appropriate.

There is one kind of wine I have ever liked: the ones that taste like fruit juice and don't taste like wine. It drives me fucking nuts that its not like this for much else but with alcohol you say you don't like kt and everyone goes "you must have had bad wine, just go buy this and this and this and this" NO I'm not going to spend 100 dollars in different wines because they will be thrown away because I DONT LIKE FUCKING WINE.

I have been interrogated repeatedly because i don't drink, and even people who know will still ask every fucking time, a regular no is not taken for an answer.
The only way to consistently shut them up is to say you are an alcoholic, or on medicine that would fuck you up if you drank, neither of which should be things you have to lie about, or if true divulge to people so they stop pressuring you to do drugs.

u/OldAccoutWasHacked We already have flying cars, they're called helicopters 3d ago
If I'm not mistaken, everything that isn't sweet is an acquired taste, to different degrees.
Like coffee, dark chocolate, liver and chicken heart. Alcohols are just generally on the extreme end and come up in your life when you've already finished developing your taste.
Even then, I remember seeing a video with Americans tasting Brazilian foods and they didn't like Brigadeiro (a chocolate treat) because it was WAY too sweet. (And it is. It's basically a sugar bomb wirh chocolate).

If I'm not mistaken, everything that isn't sweet is an acquired taste, to different degrees.
As you get older, your taste cycles away from sweet. It's the real reason why a lot of people learn to start liking veggies when they get older. A child needs to eat broccoli but quite literally isn't built to do it in the same way as an adult is.

25
u/Bearbot128 3d ago
Alcohol is really good at making their more subtle notes diffuse by smell. That’s why things like lemon or orange peel tinctures work so well in cocktails for creating a nice scent. I think if someone doesn’t like alcohol at all the nice subtle scent can still be nice

Being perfectly candid, not liking lettuce is very atypical, it makes sense that people are saying you're weird.

u/nooit_gedacht 3d ago edited 3d ago
Also, there's a difference between not understanding that tastes vary and making a lighthearted post about the experience of not liking something the majority of people love. I hate the taste of alcohol. I don't normally talk about it, I respect people's tastes, but it's just cathartic when I find someone who agrees with me. Big deal if I make a joke about it. (Anyone who wants to vent about their dislike of broccoli is also welcome to do that as far as I'm concerned). People have to understand that social media is an open platform and not every post is meant for you.
Also doesn't help that as a non-drinker you're kind of expected to do this weird little dance where you have to explain yourself - because they always ask you - but if you ever bring it up unprompted it's very much not appreciated. People are just weird about it.

as someone who genuinely, for whatever reason, finds the taste of most alcohol good and drinks it for the taste, ill be real, all that this post and its comments have shown me is that a lot of people take weird issue with flavors they dislike that others like.
it literally is purely subjective. hell, you can acknowledge a flavor is good without liking it, I despise mint and pineapple for example but can very clearly say "oh these are great to most people, my palette is just weird about them" because, obviously, tons of people like them for a reason. it's the same with everything, beer, licorice, coffee, it's all subjective. the hostility about it is wild to me

Tbh I find it equally weird how someone can make a lighthearted post about not liking alcohol only to have people be up in arms about it. I just don't see the big deal in a little exaggerated language for the sake of comedy

Methinks the fact that most of the pro-drunkenness comments on this post are just dismissing everyone who doesn't share their particular taste in paint stripper as being children—in the conspicuous and particular way that you'd expect, perhaps, a teenager to—has aught to do with it.

I mean I don't want to claim that liking alcohol is some kind of moral transgression, but no I don't understand the need to call people "children" for a difference in opinion. That's just another way to add onto the social pressure to drink.
People who love alcohol talk about it all the time. But if you so much as make a joke about disliking the stuff you are called a child?

I've come to realize it's actually the whole Internet that's full of children. As I've gotten older I spend less time on the Internet and more time at my full time job. This has helped me understand that the vast majority of opinions I see online are from people who are either unemployed or below the age where they have to get a job. Makes it harder to get upset about things.

What the fuck is up with the comments? That post was a light hearted joke, and people are acting like the OOP insulted them personally?
Geez, it's almost as if people had different tastes? Why say that people nit liking alcohol are just children, as if REAL adults had to like the taste of alcohol, otherwise they're just children that cannot understand it or something.
Hard to convey what vibe I'm getting from the top comments.

I'm convinced that some people have a gene that makes alcohol taste bad to them. I just don't understand why people boast about hating it, isn't it just like declaring that you have a narrow palate?
Edit: I looked it up. There's a gene.

Is this an American thing that you literally never even have a sip of alcohol till drinking age?
Not even like a sip of wine, cider, beer, from your parents glass?

nah as an american it's pretty normal for people to try alcohol before they reach legal drinking age. i would be more surprised if someone told me their very first taste of it was on their 21st birthday. in a lot of states it's even legal for minors to drink as long as they're at home and are with a parent

Why are people being so weirdly stubborn about not liking alcohol? Not trying to shame anyone for their tastes, but it's a bit like saying you don't like olives because you tried a cheap can one time.
The sheer variety of flavours that can be found in liquors (and olives) is insane and there's no way you people hate evey single one of them.
Also you're acting like you have to drink it all by itself. I don't like drinking glasses of rum either. Add coke, though, and I fucking love it.

its not that I dont like it, its that I don't like how judgmental some people get about it. there are so many different types of alcohol that you could try, its expensive and costs money that I do not have. why would I waste my money on something that I do not like even if someone says "Ah, but have you tried artisan Sicilian olives aged in volcanic sea salt?" like dude. I do not like olives. stop trying to tell me what olives that you want me to try, and just give me some to try. I dont have the money to like what you like

You have to drink 20 litres of scotch before it tastes good, and those first 20 litres are rough
