We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I have one after the baby goes to bed but maybe because I don't have it until 9pm or so I feel exhausted the next day...

Edit It’s bourbon but I’m counting standard US drinks.

Yes, totally different pharmacokinesis. Weed is slow to break down, so it accumulates on the body. On the fat tissue and myelin of neurons. Long term use makes you get used to a base level amount of THC.

Alcohol is metabolized very fast by the liver, which can adapt to get more efficient by changing enzymatic production. But it also suffers tissue damage that is very hard to recover. With long term use, at one point the damage overruns adaptation. Then you lose your entire ability to tolerate alcohol. Which for alcoholics is harsh, since their dependency doesn't go away.
