Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning!

This sounds expensive. I'm poor.

Ignore other necessities and beg for drink money

due to the liquor laws in america, certain types of booze have very high quality standards....
namely Vodka, Scotch, and Bourbon...
(vodka must be made into nearly pure ethanol and then diluted, scotch must be aged 3 years in scotland... so it's always decent, and bourbon has a bunch of fun rules too... i don't really like bourbon though)

the health part always makes me stop my drinking problems though... i just can't handle it...
getting a little tipsy consistently is possible to maintain a functioning alcoholism though... be sure to stay extra hydrated and alcohol inhibits vitamin absorption... so... whatever

Damn, no wonder I have a drinking problem.

Have you considered smoking? Alcohol gives me a headache. But there's many options on things to smoke - tobacco, weed, fentanyl, etc.. /s

I've tried it; it doesn't help.

Turn on Fox news and take a drink every time someone says something stupid. Two drinks if it's a debunked lie. See you in 2025!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Odds are slim they'll survive to 2025 drinking at that pace.
