it doesn't work half of the time

???????????????????????????????

It has proven to be the most reliable host on the planet. 2 year old imgur posts are still up and work like a charm while everything else failed and turned many subs into s desert.

So how the fuck does it not work half the time?

Most of the time I want to see a pic on imgur it says Image Not Found. It happens so often that I wonder if it is intentional.

I went from the top 10%+ in January to the bottom 30% ever since.

It's been worth it, but took more pain than it should have to finally admit I needed to stop.

Cool. I managed an average of 1-2 drunken weekends per month and not a drop in between for the last 15 years.

But if you were top 10% you probably cant do that and have to keep to bottom 30%.

Yeah there is no throttle... at least the throttle won't last for longer than a month or so.

Yeah I had some real wake up calls before I quit. I haven't been happier and more productive ever in my life though.

It's one of those things that is obviously bad and you know damn well you're losing incalculable productivity... but the way the chemical signals flow it just doesn't matter until there is enough negative reinforcement to change the pattern.

Congrats on pulling that lever.

Congratulations. I used to get stoned all day every day, then I quit smoking and picked up drinking and got drunk all day every day. Then I quit drinking. I've been 100% sober for months now.

I followed the exact same pattern. Smoking too much and quit it fairly easily. It was also easily replaced with drinking shortly after and that went 10x worse than the smoking ever got.

Congrats to you as well.

74 seems high, that's ten+ drinks a day. Or are these benders of slamming two thirty packs and a bottle in a weekend?

Seems high, then again i did have a distant relative that drank a 1L bottle of vodka per day. Was a woman too.

also weight affects how much you can drink, if you are fit you will get drunk much faster than someone who is fat

The ~ means approximately... and given the spectrum of the other two should be considered quite a wide band.

That said, during my worst periods I would put two 750ml bottles at 15% down a night as a baseline, but sometimes more, especially over weekends and even worse on long weekends. Not good at all, though does give some occasional insight into realizing how you really feel when you think you're on the verge of dying.

A shot of liquor is consider "a drink." A pint of liquor is 10 shots. If you're a drinker, drinking a pint of day is nothing.

Probably a weekend combined with the rest of the week. Also when you count someone's number of drinks you account for each ounce of 40%, half ounce of 75%, and alcohol volume of other drinks. There's also some beastly people out there who can go through a couple 40 oz bottles in a week.

I occasionally do drugs and drink seldomly. I feel extenuating factors like this call into question what exactly the data is telling us.

That most substances are consumed by a small portion of the population that is wasted all day long every day.

Bet you a significant portion of that is single white women, likely former feminists. I actually read an article to that effect

Is that the remaining 10% of the first group, or the top 10% of the remainder from the first group? In other words, is it the top 10% of the remaining 10%?

I'm guessing the last 10% of the first group.

How much is a drink tho? One shot or two fingers? A pint or a bottle?

I dont know, but the ratio still tells a tale.

I have to assume theyre using the 1 drink = 1 shot, 1Beer, or 1 glass of wine. Thats honestly not a very good gauge, but its what I usually see with these kind of stats.

1 beer can vary wildly in ABV.

That's why you use standard drinks. Except the standard differs between countries.
