Do you think my alcohol intake is super problematic?
I’m 22M, and since I’ve been 21 I’ve typically gotten drunk like one night a week roughly (sometimes twice or three times, usually on very rare occasions, but usually just once). Usually I drink an entire six pack on a night off, I’m 6 feet tall and I weigh like 180 so it takes me like three beers before I feel really buzzed or drunk at all. Fwiw I have a very active job and I work out regularly and I’m in pretty good shape physically.
I genuinely just enjoy it. I don’t drink to the point of being blacked out or vomiting or doing anything stupid. I’ve only puked from alcohol twice and I had gotten to that point by accident. I just enjoy the vibe of drinking and still just doing things I enjoy like playing video games or playing guitar or watching tv.
I just like having a buzz/high sometimes really. I wish I enjoyed smoking weed (I used to) but it just gives me such horrific anxiety that I can’t even do it at all. Drinking is actually relaxing and puts me in a good headspace. I just get scared that this habit is super damaging to my brain and body cause I know that alcohol is literally poison, but is this completely excessive? 6 beers one night a week? The health center says 14 drinks a week for men but I feel like that’s a lot/outdated.
