Fought in combat for operation enduring (((freedom))) a while back. Came back with my physical health still somewhat intact, but a part of me died fighting sand niggers for hook noses in RC south afghan. Took the black pill for 7+ years and drank myself to sleep every night to avoid the nightmares and social anxiety with cheap whiskey and vodka, to the point where I was a handle deep at my worst. Decided that forcing my liver to carry the weight of my self-pity and depression at clown world wasn't sustainable, and tried to cold turkey from daily 750ml self medication of smirnoff.
DONT FUCKING COLD TURKEY IT. Unless you're a nigger or a kike.
I literally almost died and had the worst visual and auditory hallucinations in my life that scrambled my noggin for 2 weeks to the point where doctors thought I had undiagnosed bi polar or schizophrenia. I still only vaguely remember that 2 weeks of tortuous detox in a VA psych ward.
Havent drank or smoked pot in 5 months now, and got back into weight lifting, heavy squats, deadlifts, military presses, benching, and back rows 3x a week, 500 calories under TDEE.
I'm in even better shape than when I was a younger buck jumping out of C-17s, and I have a completely new mental clarity without that (((poison))). Cook your own food, meal prep, stack ammo, edge out that ego, and just be overprepared rather than under prepared when swathes of spear chucking niggers and pink haired hamplanets storm the streets in the coming months.

Just wanted to say great work. Quitting ethanol is not easy, especially if you've been at it for a while.
It's dumb that a potent solvent that's enjoyable to drink is a cultural norm, but it's easy to make and we've been fucking ourselves up with this stuff for a very, very long time. Monkeys get wasted off of ethanol in rotten fruit, even.
It shouldn't ever enter your body. I use ethanol as a solvent, ethanol is in hand sanitizers... because it is is the active ingredient. Not good to drink it.
I'm glad you beat your addiction, but don't be fooled into thinking that you can have a drink after a period of sobriety. Some recovering alcoholics who developed it later can beat their addiction (I did) and have some without going hog wild; but most can't because they are lifetime alcoholics. In their case, it's a genetic thing.

Same could be said for water, 70% ethanol + water sanitizes better than pure ethanol or water because of cell permeability factors. And of course water is an excellent solvent for many applications (and poor in many as well, like ethanol). Not that I'm saying it's not good to drink it, just as a former chemist and generally argumentative bastard I saw the need to point out poor reasoning.
Birds and moose have been known to get wasted on fermented fruit as well. But let's be better than our food eh?

I appreciate your perspective. As a programmer - chemistry is something I have only a basic working knowledge of. When I rub something with alcohol, it works a lot better. No, I do not know the difference between a polar and non-polar solvent and while I could learn I'm busy with other things.
It damages your body badly. Nearly every organ. It's definitely a better solvent than water, by a large margin because I scrub off miserable grime with it and water would do nothing.
Maybe you can chime in? I'd appreciate more of your expertise, if you have time.
