    I wish I disowned them sooner, honestly. I'm glad I did when I did, but you know at a certain point that things won't change.

    I can still picture my dad's brand of boxed wine after all this time. To any lurkers who are wondering, yes, someone can having a drinking problem with wine or other low proof drinks.

        For fucks sake it's buying alcohol in bulk.

        And being elitist like that is totally on brand. They would insist they're functioning alcoholics when it's like no, you're not.

        But i try to save some of my ire for the people involved in promoting alcohol. It was wild back when the pandemic was treated seriously and I saw vodka ads on Hulu.

        Like people are stuck at home and you're telling them to drink more? It's bad for people dealing with addiction, but then i thought of people who felt some relief about their family not going to bars only to see some actor promoting a shitty cocktail.

        I don't want to support any actor or creator who promotes booze. It's accepting blood money. Especially given the stressors people are experiencing right now.

            I was designated driver for some time before I got older and lied about an illness so i could evade pressure. Now I'm like nah I'm good and if they press it, I deploy my tactical trauma strike and tell the person how my mom died.

            If they ruin my fun at a party, I'll ruin theirs. But I haven't been to a party in a really long time, so hey. corona-and-lime
