Speaking of drunks, my parents still don't believe me that I've never had alcohol or done any sort of drug/cigarette. I have no idea why they think I'd boozing it up because I've never been that kid.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

I knew that statistic already and i found it again on the first google hit for “percent teetotalers america”
every time i ever shave my face completely so there's no stubble or anything my reaction is always 'oh no'
and yet i just never learn
i shaved before my job interview and i got hired too quickly to grow a beard back and now i’m just fucked
As long as I'm not rocking a wild mountain man scruffy beard I get more calls back when I'm rocking a beard than when I'm not. Seemingly in contradiction of the advice the boomers gave during high school and college.
i didn’t shave for the interview i just happened to go through a moment where i wanted to shave my beard and it was literally two days later i got a call about an interview and three days later i was hired
it was terrible timing
look at this guy, can't grow a beard in 5 days
i go like a week and a half where it doesn’t look like anything and then one day i wake up to a full blown beard
i think it’s because my hair is coppery blonde and very fine
and also now pretty grey in the beard area
Allegedly a voice of reason.

70+ drinks a week is just the wildest fuckin number that I totally believe
70+ is crazy but I believe it. 10% is what I have trouble with. That's a LOOOOT
To be clear I wholly believe both numbers because all my life experience, when closely examined, corroborates this. My brother and sister's hospital stories too.
but it still somehow catches me offguard

Yet there may also be a dark side to all this cheerful indoorsiness. “Implicit in the introvert, stay-at-home discourse is the idea that life is increasingly bad,” Malcolm Harris, the author of Kids These Days: Human Capital and the Making of Millennials, told Vox’s Kaityln Tiffany. Harris argues that millennials are staying in more often not out of some pure love for hygge, but because they’re overworked, tired, stressed about the state of the world, and too broke to afford a big night out, anyway. All those memes about snuggling cats in bed could just be an attempt to put a positive spin on the grim circumstances that have pushed this generation into retreat.
The best part about having a beard is it hides your fat face pretty well.
yep then i'm perpetually in that 'well i'll just shave my beard once i lost a few pounds' and then i hang that thought up in my closet next to all my clothes i can never wear
An added benefit of posting about staying in is that it can double as a form of personal branding: A way to assert control over your social anxiety, or a rebuff to the cultural pressures that can make young people feel like duds if their personal lives aren’t full of constant glitz and adventure. It’s also a subtle power move. Cracking a joke on Twitter about waiting for love to come find you in your apartment is a way of letting the world know that you’re self-sufficient and happy with or without social plans, free from pangs of loneliness or rejection.

Thanks to everyone talking about social events and shit I finally made a decision on how to get to PAX South. Went with a Greyhound, as the idea of driving for five hours and navigating downtown SA made me want to barf, but flying would involve me driving halfway there already just to get to a damn airport.

Bartenders are completely unphased when you go in and do just alcoholic things, like order a beer three double shots in a row over an hour or w/e (he said not from experience)
I always wondered what the emotional toll was of bartenders and liquor store clerks dealing with people who were obviously being destroyed by addiction and having that be a huge part of your revenue

I imagine after a while of 70+ a week you feel mostly gross and bloated all the time vs woooo alcohol gettin wasted.
at least 10% of people are gross and bloated and sour so it does add up...

That's true
That's a lot of people engaging in wild binge drinking.
30 million people is SO MANY PEOPLE. But I know I only see such a small subsection of american society; my life experiences are really narrow. Something that always makes me a bit jealous of Dan is that he sees a huge variety of people as a psychiatrist and has long conversations with them.
Yeah if you are doing 70+drinks a week your tolerance is quite high, so it probably doesn't have the bingedrinking party vibe, maybe more of a drinking until falling asleep thing? And probably throughout the day, not just in the evening.
I also can't imagine so many people being teetotalers! I'd imagine it's mostly religious people? I know like...one person who never drinks.

The most I can do is like 6 or 7 strong drinks in a night before I go pure stupid
6 or 7 strong drinks is 12 to 14 standard ones, landing you in the 70+ if you did it daily
Beers have gotten a lot stronger over the last couple decades which exacerbates the disconnect between statistical and medical “drinks” and actual drinks

how are things going and when are you going to run another cool roleplaying game?
My next online game just got canceled and I am jonesing
So I want to playtest the Lasers & Feelings hack I have drafted before I make a nice PDF and put it up as PWYW on DriveThru, that’d be a one-shot kinda deal
I didn't have a birthday party till I was 25 and Dream insisted I needed to have at least one.
Were you a jehovahs witness? Who doesn't have at least one birthday party when they were a kid?
Combination of factors. For the first few years the family was recovering from a tragedy and after that a lack of money, and a general lack of friends kept a party from ever happening. For my birthday I got to choose dinner, and that was pretty much the celebration we could afford.

Its probably similar to what scammers feel like when they rip off grandmas. They probably blame the people themselves for doing it and justify "well if it wasn't me it would be someone else."
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

I fully believe the two ends of the spectrum, but I'm going to go with a lot of that 33% that says they have 1 are probably lying.

Well, yes, but alcohol certainly doesn't have anything to do with it in my case.
