You explained this perfectly (what happens with people who cannot tolerate alcohol/have an addiction). This was exactly how I behaved as a 15 year old drinker - stimulant effect, completely out of my mind, pounding drinks until they're gone or I pass out... extreme blackouts from ages 15-30. I have been sober 18 years now. The price I had to pay for a drinking episode was so high, and I knew my life would eventually end with a car accident, overdose, or some other incident related to recklessness and impulsivity. I had to completely quit because ingesting it caused such extreme impulsivity. When I would black out, it was like some other thing stepped into my body, walked for me, talked for me... etc. A demon who would do crazy things I would never consider doing while sober. Quitting was one of the best things I have ever done for myself.
yep! I've tried controlled drinking SOOOOO many times. I even quit for 1.5 years once, then decided to "Do it responsibly." What a joke. I cannot "teach" myself to do that. Everytime I start thinking I can control it, I am B.S ing myself. I resumed drinking after the 1.5 years and after ONE WEEK I was drinking and driving again and out of control. So yeah.. I cannot find a way to master it and had to give that up. Been sober 18 years now.
Yeah, having one beer is the same as having 100, for me. That first drink guarantees an obsessive re-administration of dozens of drinks over the following days. That first 12 ounces has 100 beers in it, at least.
Young people drink cuz they're sick and tired of responsibility Me as a 24 year old college student: Wait so u wanna avoid responsibility by drinking to the point that it hurts you and causes you and other people trouble? lol I drank before and have an okay tolerance of alcohol, but shit doesn't feel good at all. During drinking and the hangover is just terrible...
i never was a partier or a drinker i never understood how people could find fun in that but maby im just weird i guess i like to remember what i did the next day
I'm quite similar. I enjoy it from time to time, but not regularly. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing out, and try, but then again, I don't think people really enjoy most nights out. They don't take anything away from these senseless nights, and I believe that alone removes a lot of potential satisfaction. However, every once in a while there'll be a magnificent night that keeps the habit going. It's just a real shame because I'm only 20 and already seeing friends start getting into bad habits with alcohol, weed etc. and I just don't see it working out for them. The danger of these things is they make eveything feel better, until they don't. By that point, you're already well far in.
Same. It can feel lonely though. Majority tries to get away, not take things seriously, they become different people from the substance abuse and the numbness. You know that they will not remember many of the things you had conversations about. If you find the behavior depressing and a "vanity of vanities", you sort of become the too "boring, scary, weird, confusing and serious" type in that circle of people. Been through it. It intimidates the party group and you and your values get laughed at a lot. But! Unfortunately, a lot of these people get into unhealthy, destructive habits in the end or along their life. Drug abuse, hallucinations, mental illnesses, loss of "friends" , wasted life, no will or true simple joy, broken up marriages, both partners can get involved in cheating while on the substances, no shame, but self hate and disgust can occur later on, ill children... I know many very sad stories. It's even worse when two party people form a marriage or think of it. Then they get a mentally ill kid with damaged DNA and wonder why it happened...
@@Metal197 exactly. I've met more people that say it is ok in moderation, that actually can't completely get rid of the habit, had addiction problems in the past and go back to it periodically and then drop it and say "I just had to get the tension off, I'm getting better" and do it again after a clean week or two. Many are quite dependant on everyday or weekend "moderate" drinks and frequently going on crazy festivals to get wasted. And then they say "I don't always do it" like it's any better that you get wasted less than hardcore addicts 😂
If you’re one of those people watching this video struggling with alcohol, naltrexone or acamprosate isn’t going to solve your (our) problem. Get sober. Struggling with alcohol never gets better. Go to AA. Get a sponsor. Indulge in the program. If you’re looking to the pharmaceutical genie to solve this problem, you’ve already acknowledged your alcoholism but don’t want to give it up yet. I’m 22 and getting sober is the best and most rewarding thing that’s ever happened to me in my young life. They say as an alcoholic whatever you put in front of your sobriety is what you’re going to lose. When I wasn’t sober I put everything in front of my sobriety (because I rarely had a full day of sobriety) and proceeded to lose it all time and time again. If naltrexone was successful against alcoholism then AA would just be a thing of the past. You’d be surprised what friendship and the common good can do.
I drink every few months and I binge drink but I never go black out drunk, this way I don’t feel tempted drink again until there is a reason to drink such as a party, event, Christmas etc, partially because the hangover is so bad I don’t want to drink again. 😂 This works for me and I probably wouldn’t recommend this for everyone else but it works for me. I never get the urge to drink, I drink for social reasons.
@@spikeybug1 smoking weed is an example of bad addiction. it gives a lot of pleasure without much effort put in. Everything what gives instant dopamine spike without effort is bad for ex. alcohol, smoking, weed, heroin, sugar etc. Example of good addiction can be doing sports, studying etc. because you need to put effort in order to get dopamine spike. Instant gratification is what kills human potential.
@@seeyaingarage2864 Then make a conscious effort to get out and be active after you smoke a little. I've known lots of successful outgoing smart people that puff. If you're a creative person, then weed can definitely enhance your creative drive. Many successful artists can back this up. Sometimes you gotta explore more avenues to find inspiration. That's where weed comes in.
@@JayWoodford just calling out the fact that the emperor wears no clothes. lol. y'all getting so puffed up about it. stop identifying your self worth with the status of celebrities.

I really wish I could be that person who has 2 drinks and stop, but 2 drinks me decides he wants to be 15-20 drinks me
For me the same with weed. Solution? If you're an addictive personality, just quit. It will be the best long term decision you ever make.

@@bowtiedreynard9167 Exactly! that's why i stop drinking even tho i'm not alcoholic. But still.
Drinking is such a waste of time
And money.
Yes, alcohol is a detachment drug.
That is why I would support prohibition if I were alive back then.
@@horsepowermultimediawithout knowing prohibitions don’t work I probably could’ve been convinced
@@bigpictureguys8415 Unfortunately, the mass alcoholism had already went too far by the time prohibition was put in place.
I drink every new year eve. I get tipsy, stay up late, and just having fun. Works really well.
Alcohol for me is a totally dissociative drug.

you either have no friends or they say homosexual stuff like you
i may be alone in this idea but i think its sad

@@samaralyn9646 I love myself a party but I am also sober not drinking any garbage
Nothing wrong with a drink. Nothing wrong with smoke. Just don't abuse it.
Aha you alcohol dependent clowns always make excuses up for being pathetic.
I’m sure a lot of the addicts said that but clearly didn’t work out for them.

I had gin vodka too in them miniature bottles. With orange juice

Jordan Peterson must be the absolute worst to drink with, he'd just start yelling at you to go clean your fuckin room
yeah hes got square balls
I don't usually drink wine cooler cause it's sweet. I never tasted tequila oh wait yes I did. These little shots in these little bottles
So...weed is much safer?
A million times safer. Weed was the only thing that slowed my desire to drink more.

Maybe he can do one on klonopin Percocet addiction
Richard Willette what a piece of shit thing to say
Having overcome an addiction that is one of the hardest to overcame, I'd say he has some authority on the subject.
Klonopin is a benzodiazepine, if you're addicted to that good luck.
Klonopin and percocet are completely different drugs
