This is a pretty powerful piece of the genetic link to alcoholism.

My line too has had hot sauce recipes passed down through the generations. It is a gastrointestinal evolutionary arms race older than time.

We were weak sphinctered in the past.

Oof he gave up booze to be an art history major. Got a feeling he'll be boomeranging back very soon.

I double majored in art history/philosophy and it was a tonne of fun! However I didn't pursue it any further and now I work in IT.

Hey! Very similar to me. I did a philosophy degree, studied art history, then started a Masters in Comp Sci and work in IT now. Nice to know I'm not the only weirdo

So blessed to finally be sober after struggling with alcoholism for a decade. Coming up on a year and a half sober. I literally cant describe how much my physical existence had improved, sobriety is worth the struggle, and it is a struggle to break free from the addiction. I literally drank at minimum a 6 pack every night. Was always able to justify it because i was surrounded by folks who were much more alcoholic than me. My father would literally hide handles of cheap vodka under the sink in his bathtoom and in the back seat of his car while, him and my mothet already had an extensive liquor cabinet. Alcoholism is a disease, and i hope if yoy are struggling with it, you can find relief somewhere other than at the bottom of a bottle.

What is the title of that book? There are too few pixels but looks like it says The Pissing Art

Ah yes, Renaissance Art, the cure for alcoholism. /s

Probably just a representation of education, I guess?

Maybe reborn as in born again Christian?
