Alcohol

y-y-you mean I would have to eat h-h-healthy for me to be h-h-healthy? There is no one drink fix all the maladies?

Sure there is, if its legal in your country to buy human breast milk. Find a donor with antibodies to the diseases you wish to combat and you could survive off this liquid alone indefinitely as it provides complete nutrition.

Pretty sure human breast milk stops being effective after you're older than 6 months.

Do the antibodies still protect after 6 months of age? Thought the efficacy diminished, hence vaccines for infants.
Also, does breast milk contain iron?

Its not efficient to feed an adult on it because it costs the mom a lot of energy to make enough for an adult's calorie/nutrition needs.

The composition of the milk doesn't physically change though, and your body doesn't become worse at using it, apart from lactose intolerance in certain pop.s

Can I get it from my mommy in exchange for some GBP?

Probably not.
Lactation is difficult to induce after it stops, but persists indefinitely if there is demand (see: wet-nurses, women who provided breast milk to wealthy parents' children as part of their caretaking duties)

So if I average 10 beers a day, workout everyday, go to work, do the things I want to, is this bad? I honestly haven't felt this good in my whole life. Make over 6 figures, close to 50, no TRT needed so far, cock hard as hell whenever needed, fuck girls that could be my daughter (sugarbabies so money involved)

We're all going to die someday but I'm having fun heading there. For right now.

That's alcoholism or trolling.

Wow. Get with the program bud. Just buy bottom shelf grain vodka by the half gallon like the rest of us.

It is literally poison that we've come to enjoy the warning signals for. Drunkenness is your body telling you to stop drinking.

>Drunkenness is your body telling you to stop drinking.
No. Drunkenness is ethanol and its metabolites interacting with your nervous system. In fact, any drunk will tell you, the drunker you get the greater the urge to drink more becomes.

(Indirectly meaning I don't think the experience of being drunk itself is an evolutionary tool to avoid consuming a lot of rotting food. There are a lot of adaptive mechanisms that induce vomiting with certain drug-related triggers, but the actual being drunk is something your brain can't really help. GABA , norepinephrine, and dopamine are ancient systems.

Actual drug fag here - therapist who is CAADC certified and currently in a continuing education course on the physical aspects of drugs and addiction.

In low enough doses, alcohol is more or less benign. The "health benefits" espoused by some are negligible, in that all the "benefits" that one gets from a very low consumption of alcohol can be found through a common healthy diet. A glass of fresh grape juice per day, for instance, provides the same health benefits as a class of wine. Any drinking above the level of one or two alcoholic beverages per day is not beneficial, and becomes extremely harmful very quickly as the amount consumed increases.

Not to get preachy, but besides tobacco, alcohol related premature death and illness is pandemic the world over. It's the single most destructive psychoactive substance known to man in terms of health, crime and economic cost. Aside from the act of drinking being pleasurable for many, there's really nothing good about it at all.

>10 beers a day

Yes. It's very bad. You may "feel" fine now, but keep drinking like that and it will catch up to you much sooner than you think.

>Americans think 10 cans of 3% pisswater is a lot of alcohol

>evidence shows it strips dendritic spines and changes their formation behavior afterwards

what exactly are the practical implications of this? Does it happen regardless of how much/how often alcohol is consumed? Is it reversible if you abstain from alcohol for some time?

Wait, would it theoretically have a protective effect for my children to drink other women's breast milk while babies if, for example, my wife and I both passed them on some specific recessive genes which could cause health problems later on?

Are there any sources on that?

...

Since i am incapable to make my own thread, i will be hijacking yours. Say someone is visiting a family member who has alot of prescription meds, what particular meds should one look for?

amoxicillin
that shit is the bomb for middle ear infections

oxycodone, anything ending in -azepam, zolpidem, tramadol, gabapentin, baclofen, sildenafil

Not medfag but from I've been reading it's harmful in any amount. Larger amounts are more harmful.

All the purported benefits had been way overblown.

Interestingly, this is turning out to be the case for weed as well.

Veeky Forums which alcohol is the most efficient at getting someone inebriated?

I will make sure to do that next time i have a mid ear infection

Thanks

Take everything you find. People like you are not ODing fast enough for my liking.

it's also good for upper respiratory infections man, and a whole lot of other benefitial effects linked to small to moderate consumption.

Also, you might want to get some ciclosporin eye drops, if your guy is an eye drops kind of guy. That shit works wonders for your dry eye.

ciclosporin in eyes is not a meme though.

why would he put lsd in his eyes? what effects did he expect to have?

This reminded me of this guy who would put liquid lsd in his eyes.

He didn't expect them. They actually happened. He described it like taking a sledgehammer to your head or some shit. He said it was mindblowing. Literally.

>people like me
Explain

Degenerate scum. Fuck all of you. I really do hope you die from that shit.

I was hoping that it would be a meth insanity episode where he wanted to experience the visual hallucinations of LSD without the altered mental state.

Fucking junkies srsly. What this guy said:

Scum who would steal prescriptions from a family member. KYS

Its all really old stuff. Some from a 11 yr old that used to live there read you can get a nice effect from it. They would never steal medicine anyone relys on im sure.

They've never done prescription meds that werent theirs before, they are just curious on the options they might have.

I can't. I've always taken a million pills. Just drinking on them is a risk.

This thread reminds me of a problem my families been having. My grandfather (80yo) has been taking codeine for a while, and now it seems he's addicted.
He demands his pills on time, he's threatened my grandma with divorce, and my cousin with violence. He use to be the most gentle guy I knew. Anyone have any experience with something like this, elderly with addictions?

Let's say I drink a 6 pack a week in one 3 hour sitting when I'm just hanging out.

Am I being stupid?

He is 80 years old and codeine makes all his pains and worries go away... Cant say i have experience but i dont think he can come back

>tramadol
this x100

No experience, but I do know that addiction to prescription drugs is a rising epidemic. Given that perhaps there is a support group of something, for the family of the addicted and/or for the addicted himself, which you can contact for some advice?

The one with the highest percentage, while still being drinkable(not gonna kill you(well not instantly))...anyways Absinthe is what you are looking for.

To my recollection they largely regrow afterwards in adulthood. If consumed in adolescence there's a long chain of signalling that ends in a catch 22 of sorts, which ultimately changes spine morphology from there on. The brain becomes apt to form "immature" bulby spines, and they don't take on any more mature state. The implication of this on learning and plasticity I find very interesting, given that I lack any memory or learning problems and drank heavily when I was late 16 to 17. I was blackout drunk at least 2 days a night for a year or so.

Research also shows it leads to a state wherein the connects between prefrontal and frontal regions are handled differently, leading to a state called "persistence". Which more or less means the organism ignores the wider spectrum of signals that normally would signal it to abandon or re-evaluate a task, and if it can't find means to do it better, tends to just continue regardless. Which matches me pretty well, though I've always been stubborn and highly opinionated.

There's a lot of literature on alcohol and neurogenesis out there. Look through pubmed, "ethanol dendritic spine".

BEHOLD

THE SAFEST DRUG EVER

Its lethal dose(LD50) is half a KILOGRAM, it is an antipsychotic, the "come down" is euphoric because it is an anxiolytic, it is easily homemade, it is legal, it is considered doping in sports, it reduces chances of suicide(although it increases chances of successful suicides by, like, 95%), it increases life expectancy by X years, it is nootropic in moderate doses, it has calories, it protects your teeth, it makes overserious or superfunny, it is literally Christ's Blood

Just don't drink until you are nauseous

Ethanol is mostly about state of mind. My capacity for performing a given mental operation wasn't really too negatively effected when I retried drinking the other day, despite being pretty trashed. I was already half in the bag when I left for a walk. By the time I was returning I could barely walk, everything was blurring together and had afterimages everywhere. I have flashes in my memory of seeing my neighbor entering their house and thinking maybe I should turn around. Realized I didn't give a shit, continued on.

I returned home and continued programming. To no ill effect.

Could've been an outlier, but alcohol is a much different drug than it used to be for me.

yes, because your question doesn't make any sense.
