    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

    Almost everyone i know has been 2 and 69 drinks a week! How can that be something three quarters of people don’t do!

    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.

    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

    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.

    rude to say
    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...

    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.

    at least 10% of people certainly feel gross and bloated and sour so it does add up...

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

    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

    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."
