Don’t believe those who say they can handle If someone tells you they can handle their liquor because they drink heavily and frequently, don’t believe it, a new study suggests. They are may be more impaired than they know
I didn’t realize how much I, or my family, drank before we left Wisconsin 20 years ago. We always had alcohol, and in hindsight, were often pretty drunk. I thought having 3-5 beers at dinner at a restaurant was normal. I thought having a 6 pack while driving from Green Bay to the cabin was normal. I thought a bottle lasting through a weekend was “taking it easy.”
I thought all that because that’s how my family, friends, and coworkers were. It’s how I grew up. How I saw my wife’s family do it. How work functions went.
Best thing I ever did for my liver was leave that state. It opened my eyes to how normalized it all was.
