I think there’d be less alcoholics in the world if we got taught this stuff in school instead of “It’S BaD fOR YoU”
i wondered what the fuck that was hahahaha
Wait, i want to hear the bear
@@parkersenecal5547 I mean true but sometimes life hits u hard and you want an ease it
I love the editing style :)
The liver getting a D- was brilliant XD
Alcohol and cigarettes addiction actually destroyed my life. I could remember several years ago after divorce with my wife which brought me into my disastrous journey on Alcohol and cigarettes. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.
Amen God bless people. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health.
Can you help me with the reliable source. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Netherland. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Greece. Really need!
YES very sure of Dr.Burkeshroom. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
100% agree I used to have Psychosis and paranoid thoughts like "people thinking about me talking about me etc. Very odd behavior after getting off Adderall from 7-16. Antidepressants at 18-29. 31 now. I took way to much, but took about 20g of Gold caps (Psilocybin containing mushroom) I analyzed my entire life. The emotions that came out helped me understand behavior etc more. Wont ever need to do it again because I'm happy and contempt forever, but I wish more people did this to alter their perception of reality. Would help with healing much trauma
25 days sober so far. 250 days cigarette free. We can do this 🔥
way to go brother! you got this, and if you fall off dont beat yourself off, dust yourself off and start again! you did it once you can do it again!
So proud of you king 👑❤️❤️
Good job man. I stopped drinking around late December myself. I feel great.
I did 110 days 4-5 years ago! I so wanna get back on the horse
@@akumpi You got this man!
My parents were both alcoholics.
When you had one parent that died from drinking too much, and the other one now with dementia, this video really hits differently...
RIP Mom.
Sorry for your loss
I’m really sorry for your loss and unfortunately my alcoholic dad is on the way to a similar situation. It is very sad 😞. And my mom is bipolar
@@PraveenSriramim sorry for you and i hope everything will be allright
@@Sandman05 thank you for your reply
_IN HALF_
The worst part about being a raging alcoholic, is that you can actually FEEL alot of these things happening in your body...It's an indiscribable misery, of constant hangover/drunkedness, not being able to eat, constantly vomiting...Just trying to keep down a few drinks long enough to metabolize to kill the shakes/body pain...As an alcoholic it's VERY clear that alcohol IS poison. You feel yourself slowly dying..
It was that feeling that drew me. I'm doomed, it seems.
Visit a psych and start on chlordiazepoxide/diazepam.
drinking 1.75 L handles of 100 proof rum straight out the bottle and finishing one every 2 nights. Repeat for years. Bad things will happen to your body. I do not reccommend.
@MyLazySundae It's not so much scary as it is just living in sickness...Not to minimize your 2-4 drinks, but that's not THAT uncommon, and it will probably take many many years to do serious damage, so I wouldn't worry too much about it...But, I'm not a Dr.
@MyLazySundae I started with 2-4 drinks every night and not getting hungover ,before i knew it i was taking one,two shots of vodka/gin with the beer to get the same effect,before i knew it i was mixing equal measures of vodka to beer. All i'm trying to say as someone whose been there,the earlier you stop the habit/trend the better. It creeps up on you,one year you are doing okay and dont drink much then before you know it you are drowning alcohol at an alarming rate,then you ask yourself how you got there🤷♀🤷♀
As a longterm alcoholic, I can say that this is the MOST useful thing I've seen on the subject - ever. Thank you. Maybe time to act, at last. Finally.
Glad it was helpful!
Good that you can see that you are an alcoholic
I believe you can do it!
Hey its been a few months how is the drinking going?
Stay hard Brother!
I wasn't a fan of my drunken behavior and especially the fact I used it to cope with anxiety and depression, so I stopped drinking alcohol over 2 years ago and it's helped me along the path to recovery.
And if people want to drink, that's fine with me
I love drinking
Anxiety and depression are the reasons i want to quite drinking,i'm already done with smoking. Lets do this
Keep pouring
Wow you're so wonderful
@@anthraxinyourmailbox9550 Cheers, Anthrax
68 days sober. 2 weeks cigarettes free 🔥
@HappyHealthyAtPeace still going strong ✨
@@Sean-lv1ld Good luck, wishing you all the best.
Well done keep it up dude!!
Keep it up! You're doing great!
Congratulations on staying on the path to good health, and recovery. Try taking NAC (N acetylcysteine) to help you stay clean. It's a nutritional supplement that has many benefits, including helping with getting off drugs. GOOD LUCK! 👍 👍
Really interesting! You were pretty comprehensive on the topic, even using complex technical terms without it being too overwhelming. Looking forward to more good content!
Awesome, thank you!
Lies again? Extract Alcohol Evil Angel
I am an alcoholic. My illness started later in life, neither mom nor dad ever drank so I wasn’t exposed to it. In college I didn’t really drink, while most my of my friends did. I started in Grad School, gained a lot of weight, depressed, and anxious, turned to alcohol. I have been suffering from this for about 7 years now, sometimes I drink every day, sometimes every 2 days, but it is a constant struggle. I have no memory of many things that have happened to me in the last two years. The longest I have gone sober is 35 days, but I keep relapsing. 😔😭
This sounds like my experience with alcohol. I'm riding on a seesaw. I torture when I am actively using and happy and vibrant when I'm sober. It's crazy as hell. But I will NEVER give up trying to get this poison out of my life!! Hang in there friend. We've got this!😊
@@jujumulligan43 Thank you. I am hoping for your sobriety too. I am starting AA next week and discussing this issue with a therapist too.
Sending sincere wishes - the fact that you acknowledge you have a dependence is well on the way to making that change. Well done - wishing you well on your journey. You are a unique and exceptional human.
Don’t give up! You can do achieve sobriety! It took me dozens of tries and crying out to God for help! I pray that you will rely on God for help and that you believe in yourself that you really want to stop drinking! It came down to me as a decision do I want to die this way or live each day with a clear conscience and wake up each morning feeling good not only physically but mentally! I drank everyday for decades and now going on 23 months of sobriety! If I can do it you can to! Every night I pray for the alcoholic who still suffers because I know exactly what it is like to be in your rock bottom and feel hopeless and doomed! I will pray for you in Jesus name ❤️🙏😊
Your story is my story. I am 64 and 23 days sober. My third attempt in twenty years. I quit a two pack a day cig habit, l can beat this. I cannot think one pro to drinking anymore.
As someone who has a family member that struggles with alcoholism. Please drink responsibly, never use it to cope.
How about you don’t drink at all!
@@preecesI came here to say this....
Responsible is to not drink. There is no safe drinking
@@kate60 agreed.💯
Even if you can’t drink responsibly don’t guilt shame others brah
Very interesting and educational video. I would like to see a video about the health hazards of smoking.
Pretty sure he already has em
@@MoesFingers He don't, I just checked. He might have made one in the past though since he had to remove most of his videos due to his use of copyrighted art and photos.
If you are Fidel Castro then it's good for you - he survived over 600 CIA assassination attempts and died really old age while smoking from age of 14. :D
@@LordAlacorn That's one of the things that are just amazing to me. I've known some people who have incredibly unhealthy habits yet live to an very old age, all while being relatively healthy. It makes me brood over the huge impact of genetics on life expectancy.
I would like to see a series about how drugs effect ur body tbh
My father has suffered from wet brain for a long time. He was told 3 years ago he had 2 years to live. He's still here, but his body can't digest food correctly. He's thin and pale, he's wasting away. He has sores from malnutrition because even if he eats, even if he takes medications, his body just can't absorb it properly anymore. He's been a heavy drinker his whole life. He began drinking when he was 12, he never learned to read or write because his parents were also drunks. He has spent all his life in a bottle and unfortunately his family has always enabled him. I called him this New Years to ask if he was alright. His health is always bad, there's always more bad news, but hey at least he's able to talk. I'm glad he's still here. But he could be gone tomorrow, and the elephant in the room is we all know why.
Edit for context, as I'm sure it sounds insane, and it is insane, but he's from/grew up in, and lived his whole life in the Appalachia impoverished region of the southern US. Unfortunately being unable to read and write, and childhood alcoholism aren't that rare out there. It's very sad. Sad doesn't even cover it.
What’s your story then?
You seem quite well put together, considering where you come from that is.
how did you rise above it? Congratulations on doing so.
You sound like a wonderful human being. I could go down the path you illustrated so well. But for the sake of my beautiful partner I will continue to make sure that doesn't happen. Your story has helped. Thank you.
I stopped drinking alcohol since 1994 and believe me, my life has changed for good in so many ways, I got better jobs, my familiy and personal life improved, I learned many things and my character and personality became better than ever, I gained a few pounds though, but still Ilived a much happier life, now adays I'm very healthy and exercise on a daily basis, Thank God!
I also lost those extra pounds and I'm thin again, i eat veggies and healthy food as well as drinking enough water has kept me in good shape during all those years that I quit booze and cigarretes!!!
Praise The Lord!!!
Thank you for sharing and all the best to you
78 days sober today. Not that I'm counting haha I drank 12 pints of lager a day and smoked weed along with that. Started drinking in the morning until I fell asleep, then wake up feeling miserable and continued drinking, feeling 'better' again after the first 2 pints.
I can't explain how my life changed for the better these last 2, 5 months. Still, I'm craving very heavily at the moment. I know why, it's always the emotions, and I know what I should do and I will and am, but still. It's kind of sick.
Edit: Not to long after that comment, I relapsed. Fuck it, I convinced myself, just one evening. This turned in a 6 day bender. Very scary. Everything good just faded away and was replaced with fear and depression again. It was a big wake up call, and I quit again and been sober since, feeling strong and peaceful again.
Ever since I quit a couple of months ago (I quit for 3 months minus 6 days now 😉) I get reality checks, some are more confrontational than others. The one that made me drink again was a big one, but the reality check I got when under the influence was even bigger. Big enough that I wanted to quit ASAP again.
It's all part of it, I guess.
Thought I'd write this up too, for people who are in the same boat as me. Much love everybody, you can do it. 💙
🙏
Thanks for the comment, im 10 days sober now.
I’m not an alcoholic, but I’ve never understood this idea of counting the consecutive days of zero alcohol consumption. To me, it’s more logical to look at a trend. For example, In this past four months did I drink less or more. If the trend keeps getting better then your life will keep getting better. Fell down? So what. Get back up. This all or nothing mentality seems futile. For alcohol or most anything in life.
I see what you are saying. But I guess for some it has to be all or nothing. As some people are powerless and will will drink continuously and cause significant mental and physical harm to themselves when they do this. The concept of 'benders' here is important, as I think this is what distinguishes alcpholic from moderate or occasional drinkers @JK-vc7ie
@@JK-vc7ieThis is very true and the course of action most addiction counselors and therapists will take for majority of addictions. Be it gambling, sex, or indeed, alcohol. Progress isn’t always as straightforward and linear as a lot of people not suffering from addiction might think. I can say this as I’m 19 with a (somewhat) problematic drinking habit. A year ago (it’s now march of 2024) I was drinking a handle of vodka or rum in 2-3 days, couple or few times a week. Now I’m down to a 2 6 once or twice a week, often less though. I no longer feel the need to drink like I once did, and to me that is progress. I still get cravings and I don’t think I have the strength yet to cut it out completely, but I have been noticing a downward trend with alcohol consumption as the months pass by, and hopefully it will continue on this trend further. I’m too young to notice any health problems from drinking yet but alcohol is a slow poison that will eventually creep up on me with time, so it’s better I deal with this now than 25 years from now.
(Edit: I live in Canada and in a province where the drinking age is 18, so I’m legally buying alcohol, just not without the disapproval of family, friends, and my current romantic partner)
Drank heavily for nearly a decade, it got really bad when I lost my job. I was put in the ER and had severe shakes and crazy high blood pressure. I'm two weeks sober today and struggling. Started AA, but the depression and anxiety are out of this world. I had mental health issues before drinking, but the alcohol would numb them out. Every day is a challenge.
Alcohol is a poison
I’m 27 years old and I have been drinking since I was about 12 and heavily since 14. About 7 months ago I went on a 3 day bender and barely ate or slept. I ended up having a grand mal seizure in front of my house, thankfully while one of my drinking buddies was there to call the paramedics. I have been sober for 6 months now but I’ve already caused damage to my cerebellum in my brain, damage to one of my kidneys, and neuropathy affecting my ability to feel where my limbs are in space which makes it difficult to walk on uneven surfaces without tripping or falling. Doctors are hopeful that since I’m so young that I’ll be able to recover with extensive physical therapy and sobriety but it’s crazy to have problems like this at such a young age. Let my mistakes be a lesson to any of you younger guys here that think your partying will have no consequences.
Damn i Never Heart a Story like that i wish you a good Life :)
Mate you've been drinking since you were 12 it'd be crazy if you DIDN'T have any severe consequences by now
Yo this kinda stuff is exactly why I've decided on Med school in uni. Love the explanations of how chemicals work on you body keep it up!
You will suffer if this type of stuff is "exactly" why you have decided on med school
from what my colleagues have told me, med school isn't where you learn, it's where you're humbled
I get you, but while i love biology, chemistry and positively impacting people i just don't see myself as a doctor for some reason, and i just find that kinda odd. I ended up deciding on biomedical engineering but still feel quite lost in general.
I can just imagine when doctors start getting really young, and greet me with "Yo, how are you today?"🤭
@@jvqs55 I feel you, I've been there and am still there. I love Biology and Chemistry, but i don't see myself in 10 years as a doctor and it just felt odd, so i pursue natural sciences but I still am lost. I feel there are others who feel the same from this community and others
this video strengthens my decision to remain alcohol free. I tried a bit in my early 20s (a glass or 2 at a party) and hated it ever since. How it tastes, smells, how people act while inebriated and its just, not something that would add value to my life. Props to everyone who has conquered this addiction and chosen to stay sober, also to those who watch and learn from the lives of others (as I did), deciding to not drink.
I mixed alcohol, benzos, codedine drugs, opioid type drugs, a lot of stuff. I don't remember a lot of the stuff I did when I was using. Bascally concidering how bad alcohol is. God damn. I am lucky to be alive.
@@Skoopyghost im glad you are alive too❤️
I agree but, it's hard to quit I am drowning in the most retarded of thoughts because of it
Good job keep it going 😊❤
@@Skoopyghostu did a good job😊
14 years borrowed time. Pancreatitis almost took me out…close call!!
By the Grace of God
I made AA work. Life or death. Life sucks better when I’m sober
Still trudging down this path of happy destiny
Love to all!!!!
Same as my 70 year old father
What did it feel like m?
I don't think I've drank in over a year, nothing to worry about and I'm not an alcoholic, as I'd like to have the odd drink but there comes a time when you think even 2 shots of spicy rum with a mixer is just too much and you put the kettle on 😂. I did drink excessively for a few years, thru not working and depression, and ended up with a fatty liver that I could feel in my chest and it hurt too when my doc gently pressed on it. He said not to immediately stop drinking just cut back to moderate levels and in a few months, with more exercise, my fatty liver was looking way better and cleared up. So if you drink loads and you get a pain in the chest, that's your liver crying and being angry at you for the abuse! Drink cool and not like a fool! 👍
how much did you drink and for how long ?
Grew up around alcohol 24/7 with the inevitable abusive short and long term results emotionally and the physical. As young adults we drank beer 5 days a week after softball, MN and Sunday football and chasing girls at the clubs. As we got older the drinking was always there all the time. I quit on and off for 30 days, 90 days, 6 months and the longest 2 years to train get back in shape focus on my business or just accepting it was getting out of control. When I went back to drinking I gave all my gains back eventually. Weight gain was the most noticeable. I could would go from Fit and a proper weight to fat then obese within the year. I accepted that the liver attacks poison first before anything else and if overworked will store everything else as fat. This is why in your youth you bounce back from nights out drinking and can keep the weight off more or less. As you age you wear out the liver and store fat instead of eliminating. This is why when you quit drinking you lose weight. Along with the caloric reduction your liver is free to process everything you put in your body sans alcohol. I no longer drink because it’s boring, people who drink are boring it packs on the weight and interferes with my work outs, relationships and business results. It is quite the change when you factor in how alcohol is woven into all aspects of our society and culture. I prefer being FIT and all my lab tests in the normal range. Just had to eliminate the booze. Simple really but admittedly difficult but not impossible. Focus on how good you feel to help stay the course. Good luck.
thank you for making this video!! my mom died because of her bowel perforating due to alcohol. this was very informative.
Sorry for your loss, I'm happy to hear this was beneficial
This video makes me feel great for not drinking alcohol necessarily whenever I party with my friends.
I had "friends" that whenever they were drunk told me that I'm a nerd that doesn't know how to have fun. Now I notice that I was in the right place, just finished a computer sciencie degree and I'm some months about to make a startup with my hard work.
I feel bad to watch them 10 years later having real problems with alcohol (and so weed).
After this experience, I can just reccomend you guys to fight for those pleasures that are less rewarding at short term, and require more effort to accomplish. The reward will feel far better.
YEAH SAME re: being called a nerd. One coworker of mine was especially gunning for me to “live a little” and have a drink/get “shmashed”. I don’t get invited out anymore by that group, and honestly… as much as it hurt at first, my life (and self esteem lol) is probably better for it.
What a nerd lol but seriously thats goood. I’m young been drinking pretty often like twice a month but I try to be careful about what I do to my body. So far alcohol in moderation seems like a really effective tool to socialize but should never be the base although I’d be better off 100% abstinent. One beer an hour never seems to hurt if it’s occasionally like during a social event
23 Years old and started drinking way to much the past few years, Can generally say that this video has lowkey scared me sober. 2 weeks in doing well!
Still going?
@@Dragonoidalpha sure am!
how about now?
@@ValiskiI I am! 😀
@@jtf2k442keep going. Someone close to me is not doing well thanks to drinking. Their life has been completely consumed by it for years.
But now their health has declined so much...
I'm 24 and have never, nor do I plan on drinking. Ever. Not worth it.
kids, if heavy drinking runs in your family, please dont start swimming. I didn't listen to my parents and now here I am, with nobody to blame but myself
I feellll that like a mff. Do not start and if you have find a way to stop. Please. Just stop. Its a fun time. Ik. But soon and I mean soon. You will be like what have I done with my life. Please just stop❤
My parents have been sober for atleast 20 years now and are extremely anti-alcohol and I understand why now even tho I havent been drunk that many times in my life this video convinced me that maybe I should stay just as sober as my parents.
Just smoke weed it’s better for you
smoking anything is not good for you.@@SLUMPDBOXING
I have heard however from my physiology teacher whom is a medical doctor saying that any drop of alcohol is harmful towards the brain
Every profession has its extremists. Most things in moderation are generally okay. Some fruits humans consume can contain up to about 1% alcohol through natural fermentation, there’s a reason we evolved the enzymes to process it!
@@jameswhatsit That is very much true, but even though we have developed enzymes to process it as a defense mechanism, it does not mean that it is not harmful towards the body. Some toxins we can by enzymes also degrade into lesser toxic ones, but it does not mean that the toxic substance did not do any harm.
Its at least how I see it to be, but good point too!
dude you really deserve more subs! you found the right mix of entertainment and information!
I love the subtle and witty humor interspersed with the somewhat serious and heavy subject matter.
Great video, i definitely have to share this one out...Former drinker of 7 days a week, damn near almost a 6 pack per day, to sober for 4.5 years! I learned alot from this video that I wasn't aware of or just flat out didn't know! Thanks
Fantastic knowledge! Could you please do a video on the anatomy of drowning, both fatal & non fatal? Your other ones on decapitation, hanging and headshot were so intriguing. Many thanks for these videos, please keep them coming
Very on point and clear. As always. Thank you for making these videos
I quit alcohol 5 months straight! Man, it feels amazing, you never want to drink again.
However, quitting sugar is much more challenging. Sugar also very damaging
The problem is “moderation “ is in actuality a very small amount of alcohol! I thought I was moderately drinking. 3-4 drinks in the evening slowly about 2 1/2 hours. Now I know that is considered heavy drinking. I stopped all drinking of alcohol 34 days ago and I’m damned glad I did!
Keep it up 👍
The trouble is everyone has their own idea of moderation to suit there own need for drinking so it's a very grey area, best too abstain altogether to be sure because this poison is addictive
Not to downplay your efforts, but whenever people tell me their doing a "dry month" I'm just shocked that they obviously think that that's some great achievement.
Is this like once at a party or daily? Also what form of alcohol are we talking about? 3-4 beers over 2.25-3 hours at the occassionally party is not heavy drinking to someone not prone to alcoholism
Regardless, congrats on the sobriety! Keep it goin
My hope for you all is for you to go to your doctor and get a prescription for naltrexone. AUD is an addiction disease and as such cannot be cured by counseling. You wouldn't go to counseling for an infection or rash. Naltrexone stops the alcohol buzz and diminishes the cravings very effectively.
6 days and it feels like a nightmare while I am having nightmares and not being able to sleep for couple of nights now.
Great informative video. I'd say I'm a moderate drinker, I can enjoy drinks without going complete drunk and blacking out! Not saying drinking is good for you, but I always say "everything in moderation." Drinking responsibly. I like your subtle humorous moments while preserving key info when you drink and how it affects you. Great video! Defo subscribing.👌
10 days sober and definitely never going back. The heart part I have totally felt especially hungover. Nope nope nope.
16 days here! Keep it up my friend!
Would be interesting to see the same kind of video on what smoking weed does to your body. But of course it's effects are less studied, so it would be a bit more difficult to be persuasive.
Excellent video. I will try my best to take this to heart. I have a alcohol addiction and would like to do better.
2:15 whiskey stones dont do anything lmao. The ice watering down your drink is what MAKES IT COLD
The best video on this subject. Well done
At 1:59 instead of acetaldehyde picture is put picture of acetic acid
I was horrible, almost 1 box wine a week and A case of beer a month. I was in a fog all day, everyday
Quit 100% , 2 summers ago, heading into my 3rd summer. Im walking 1 to 2x a day, doing yard work, food shopping, reading, puzzles, more quiet around the house
Great video, coming from a family with health issues with the heart and pancreas, I try to stay far away from alcohol and smoking 😂
Glad I found this channel, fascinating videos for sure
You couldn’t pay me to go back to my binge drinking days that lasted from age 16 to mid 20s! I didn’t know how much easier life can be w/o and how much it held me back!
Also, I’d later learn I have an inherently genetic mutation for “cancer disease”, meaning I’m missing functions that DNA repairs damage or transcription(copy) errors. And thus had/have much higher risk of health consequences. I was diagnosed with a brain & spine tumor at age 27, and I’ll never know if that, and it’s various pathological mutations, was influenced by those poor choices & behaviors that might have introduced toxins to a young, still-developing brain.
It easier being clean now I’ve hit my 30s, since my body punishes me far more than the fleeting buzz is worth. Any more than 2 beers means a bad hangover, I’ll feel it for a full 24 hours after. And each hangover gets(got) has been worse than last, relative to amount drank. It feels like every cell, from organs to mitochondria are all screaming, as if running a rpm engine starved of oil. I wasn’t listening to my body, which was trying to say, “this is poison! And it’s killing us!”. I’d only wished I listened to my body soon, rather than try to ‘keep up’ or ‘go wild’, because it wasn’t till after learning of my mutations and diseases that that terrible feeling I’d dismissed was actually explained by the fact my biology is particularly unsuited for drinking.
I’m not 100% abstinent now, but I’ll only ever have 2 beers once a month these days, and I’M finally the one in control, not the addiction. And considering I’ve got incurable, low grade brain cancer, plus all the cascade of issues that come from that, I’ve finally learned that I can’t be wasting any more days of my life on predictably, and increasingly worse hangovers. I ignorantly relied on alcohol as a “cheat code” to ‘good times’ and happiness, which handicapped me from learning to regulate my own ‘contentment’ organically. I’m quite lucky to have lived through and recovered from my addiction, though, ironically in part due to the major life interruption of my cancer diagnosis, surgery, treatments, etc. It was only after recovering physically & emotionally recover from a couple of scary, painful years spent flirting with the grim reaper, did I finally achieve a state of ‘Acceptance’ and gratitude for each day.
*But not everyone gets a second, or third chance to reflect and learn from their mistakes, live again, remake yourself like I did.. You’re never too young to admit (or be ashamed) you have a problem and need a change in your life*
Whether alcohol or drugs, many of those old friends who were ‘goin hard’ like I was, didn’t live to 30.
*You’re never too young to say, “I don’t think I like alcohol”* or, just acknowledge, “I feel worse then others after I drink, maybe it doesn’t jive with my biochemical makeup, and/or “I can’t control how much I drink”. The earlier you make a change, especially while your brain is still growing maturing, the bigger the positive impact and significantly lower many health consequences (physical & mental) by ending that activity that has chronic, cumulative, and unpredictable risks to life & wellbeing.
So, any young people reading this, listen to your body! Don’t let peer pressure or unrealistic conceptions of who you think you want to be, and what’s expected to be “cool”. Don’t mistake, because of its legality, alcohol is a hard drug with major risks. Be safe! Knowing when (and being able) to say “no more” or “not today” in teens and 20s will not only keep you healthy, but pay major dividends if learn to apply that discipline earlier in all aspects of your life.
(Lol I’m might as well start writing scripts for a channel or blog at this point)
This is really good! Could you do one on smoking?
I once could count with one hand the amount of drinks id have that year but since second lockdown ive drank regularly and ive noticed the effects its had on my health ive eventually got it into my head to give up for a while and get my body back in shape
I don't drink and no matter how much others try to make me feel that I'm weird, I don't intent to start... It's funny how people who drink have the audacity to think that it's me who is secretly an alcoholic - just because I am making the right choices in life 🤷♀️ x
My Neighbour who is also my Landlord is A Chronic Alcoholic and he laughs and makes jokes at me because lm healthy and hardly touch the shit, he calls me a mad basterd but he actually has cirrhosis, that liver thing and hes always breaking out in rashes, l looked it up and your meant to stop drinking immediately. He continues to go through 3 to 4 Cartons of Beer a week and is still working as a Tradesman. I also grew up in a Family of Alcoholics and recall lots of violence and arguments, somehow l didn't become an alcoholic but l have been dealing with these types of people for most of my 34 years on this Planet and lm really starting to get over it, their vibe brings you down, they put on this act like they have it all together and know everything but deep down they are trapped, addiction is a terrible thing because it not only destroys the addict but it also brings down everyone else around them
When in reality surprisingly many people chose not to drink, particularly young adults (roughly 40% Germany). It's just that they aren't as vocal about it.
can you do marijuana next? Specifically eating it - recreation weed is legal in my state, and I always feel better about eating it than smoking it so I don't damage my lungs
problem is it hasnt been studied like alcohol
People will virtually hang you if you tell even a small damage caused by marijuana
@@hellomate6079 lolll, that's because it doesn't!!! (sarcasm)
I mean....smoking anything is bad so if you like campfires you should probably stop...
Marijuana can eventually cause depression, anxiety, and can even lead to Psychosis and other mental health disorders.
Who else also got freaked by Andrew Huberman alcohol episode? 😂 I’m sober for 4 months now and I feel like I have superpowers! Like I was in chains all of these years! Videos like this one only remind me why I quit and reinforce my decision.
Which episode was that? I'd love to watch it
@@ben2nd just look up hubermanlab podcast "alcohol"
That episode made me decide to take a year off. On month 10 now. Will probably be more than a year
@@drool3696 i was recently on a date and took a sip of her drink and realized i dont miss it one bit. continued the night with a glass of juice, had great conversations and realized that the real Me was present. You gotta practice being You without alcohol at first and it will be tough in the beginning but then youll realize your real personality was held hostage for years and you were fooling yourself that you needed a drink to feel confident and comfortable. I felt weird at first but now feels great. i still go to events and bars but order juice... and save a ton of money!
Yes LOVE HUBERMAN!
Excellent video. I work in a local shop and there's this one guy who comes in barely able to walk and stand up. He always gets cheap cider and strong vodka. It's interesting to now know why he walks like that. Thanks for the videos, wish they had more views though.
very educating vid, love to see one just like this about an in-depth view on marijuanaand its effects
Thank you for creating this informative video! The detailed breakdown of how alcohol affects the body is eye-opening. I appreciate the emphasis on moderation and the clear distinction between occasional drinking and chronic alcohol abuse. It's essential information for everyone to understand how to maintain their health while enjoying alcoholic beverages responsibly.
When I asked about alcohol, I came to the conclusion that drinking alcohol is technically drinking poison, and I'm not changing my mind on that.
Its so fun tho lol
Pick your poison 🍻
@@dv47844 that’s not propaganda lol
alcohol IS A POISON its toxic to braincells
@@techno6106 nah try percs bro that's the shit man fuck weed and liquor they shit
Hi, can you please make a video about using tobacco products in general (not just cigarettes but also non-inhaled smoke as in cigar/pipe and smokeless tobacco). It would be really helpful and appreciated. Thank you 😊
I know that this was made a year ago but still want to say that this is eye-opening for me. Thank you.
Started my sobriety today , last time I had a seizure it was mild so I didn’t go to the hospital. Im hoping I don’t get it again because I can’t wait for a sober life
Thank you!
I’m entering my 30s
And never was into alcohol
I recently took in liquor as a hobby
And been curious about truly how toxic this hobby will be and I appreciate this!
Lol I’m now dropping my use from weekends only to a single day a week to enjoy lol
My mid to late 30s I had it down to a couple drinks a year. In my 20s I was getting shit faced drunk all the time. I'm 40 now I've only drank once this year so far and probably won't until December (honeymoon) I don't miss alcohol at all
Interesting and informative video for sure. Here's my story I was an alcoholic and I drank beer everyday and in my late 20s I was drinking 12 to 14 beers per day and it wasn't good at all. In the fall/winter of 2020 I was in the hospital with bad pain in my sides and I had my spleen removed. While I was in the hospital I realised I had to quit alcohol for good and I'm glad I did. I'm now 2 years and 6 months sober from alcohol and I never felt better. Now all I do is drink coffee, some caffeinated beverages and smoke cannabis and that's it. I'm all for moderation but it does depend on the person.
Thc is lethal for your brain, try a strong cbd instead
Your animations are hilarious, love it :D
I’ve been sober for some time & definitely feel much better & happier. I can go back to my normal activities without depending on alcohol & have fun without it as well. ❤️💫
I have been drinking a bourbon on the rocks at 4:30 everyday for about 23 years. I have gradually reduced the amount I consume so that now I have about 3/4 of a shot glass daily. I am proud of this small accomplishment and excited about becoming alcohol free very soon.
How's your progress going so far?
My grandfather was a heavy drinker and got pancreatic cancer but survived, he started drinking again and got pancreatic cancer again, died the 2nd time
Use to be a heavy drinker back in 09..Had to slow down.
😭😂
I’m watching this absolutely plastered. Interesting stuff.
Consume when truly desired, for health, soberly, with rare mild exception if otherwise. Don't consume as a 'habit', or 'social drinking'. Don't drink just to drink. Drink because it's a healthy nutritionally signficant beverage which also gives you some calories to energize, and not be diminished in capacity, but to be boosted. All in moderation. Beer is by far best and healthiest if non-pasteurized.
There's heavy 'drinking', and, there's healthy moderate drinking. Understand the history of beer and wine: They're healthy beverages if they're of appropriate percentage-alcohol (not excessive) and not imbibed to excess / problematic excess. Consume for resulting vitality. Don't consume to be diminished.

Talking from 7 years of experience here, ultra heavy drinker 30-40 units per week (Binge drinking 2-3 days sometimes) Its just a miracle to be alive and it all started with the innocent occasional drink, its a slippery slope guys
1:58 just want to point out the mistake: that isn't acetaldehyde, but acetic acid/ethanoic acid. Cheers!
Awesome video you gained a new subscriber CHEERS MATE!!🍻☺
Hate when I go to a really nice restaurant and the waiter ask, " would you guys like to order drinks?" The minute I say nope, water is fine. The waiters cheerfulness drops. You can tell they are upset bc he will not get a HUGE tip. This is why I dine out less and less.
6:33 Seeing Corona (ref. SARS-COV-2) right after that CDC Pneumonia fact is frighteningly fitting.
Great video! Could you make a similar video about weed? Like the effects of THC, it would be an interesting video IMO.
its in queue, just need more timer :)
Quit alcohol in January 2021, and it's the best decision that I ever made 😊
Excellent video thank you for making it for us.
Another thing drinking does is stop protein synthesis so your body completely stops making muscle which is bad for gains
This is a really nice topic to talk about.
Goes great with beer.
I’m glad you’re enjoying those whiskey stones!!! Lol awesome video brother
our health is in our own hand, recently i consumed much beers and alcohol for 4 days straight like from morning till night and wasn't eating anything much coz I've problem I can't just drink in moderation though that's why i stopped drinking few months ago but now i relapsed again like from 1st of nov to 4th nov, if i drink i do it badly without thinking abt consequences and now I'm 2 days sober but still dealing with headache, stomachache, disturbed sleeps and bad nightmares idk when I'll be in normal but i sweared to god and my parents that I'm not gonna do it again coz I'm never scared of alcohol but I'm scared of the unbearable results of withdrawal, now I'm trying to eat more but still having problems i try to sleep but i can't only drinking plenty of water and i know I'm gonna make it but let me tell y'all if you can't do it moderately or occasionally then it's not for you my dear i believe life is more beautiful and wonderful without drink may god help and give enough strength to cope with my current situation it's horrible and all the people who are also fighting..🙏
And don't forget to take B1 300mg! and a little bit B3 300mg, Cholin, Nac and Vitamin C, Zink and Magnesium to Recover faster ;)
8 months sober now. Having survived severe pancreatitis, I'm lucky enough to be alive. I spent 3 weeks in the ICU having to go through Christmas and New Year's eve alone. The stomach pains were the worst! It always felt like it was about to explode! It was something I'd never wish even on my worst enemy. I've had the worst nightmares too! Just thinking of all those things I went through still makes me cry because I almost died. So after all those years of binge drinking, partying, coping up with depression and whatever reason it was for drinking, it finally caught up with me. I even thought I was invincible to adverse effects of alcohol when I drank too much, lol. Stay sober, friends.
YOU GOT THIS
Stopped overnight for health reasons 6 years ago. Never felt better ❤
Thanks for a comprehensive video explaining the risks. Just had major heart problems I dare say several years of heavy drinking didn't help prevent. God bless 🤠
118 days sober and grateful. This stuff had a mean hold on me. Looking back now, I have no idea how I functioned day to day. My life is so much better without this stuff.
brilliant video thank you very much
2.5 years sober now after drinking a bottle of wine every day from 2008 until 2020. So glad I stopped and am in the best health I've ever been in. Cheers to that 🤙
ye im never drinking it
dont care how safe moderate drinking is i just dont like the idea of having my brain effects by stuff like that
After watching this why would anyone continue drinking thank you so much for making this video you will make a difference in someone life because of it god bless you sir and have a great day
there was one thing i woud have liked for you to touch briefly, is you can get dependent on alchohol, else this video was very informative, thanks for the great work
As a chemistry student, acetaldehyde having the structure of acetic acid at 2:00 confused me for a bit. Turns out it doesn't have the hydroxyl group, just a single hydrogen on the end.
I think it's 1 Oxygen left in the Molecule, is it possible to convert Acetaldehyde faster or to Create a Molecule like Alcohol without the Side Effects?
Can you do a video on cigar smoke vs cigarette smoke? I’ve always been curious about the differences between the two. As someone who enjoys the occasional cigar I’d like some insight into it!
Exactly the same as with cigarettes besides the fact that you spare your lungs of tar and toxic substances(mostly).
Cigarette smoke is annoying. Cigar smoke is putrid as Hell!!🤮🤮
1 year smoke free, 16 days sober. Keep going..😊😊
My gastritis prevents me from drinking too much. Keeps me in check....it's hell to go through
Unfortunately, Andrew Huberman’s podcast now states no amount of alcohol is “good for you.”
You should do about smoking too, Good video!!
The whole thing is good, but the liver and the Ethanol making angry eyes at each other got the like. Had me laughing out loud.
Damn, this channel is WAY underrated
Brilliant video, you're like the oversimplified of science. Also just wanted to mention you had displayed ethanoic acid instead of acetaldehyde at 1:59
Yeah that should have been an -H instead of -OH
Im glad I saw this a few months before becoming 16 years old, allowing me to drink as much as I want. I mean I decided to never abuse alcohol long ago, but now I think the best thing is to not even try it. Like it feels like theres no point, it smells and tastes weird/bad, it harms your entire body, it makes you unable to think clearly and drive, it makes you feel like shit afterwards, abusing it kills you, so even when depressed I wouldnt see any reason to try hurting myself even more, and anyone else shouldnt aswell. The only point I see in trying/drinking alcohol is for social reasons, which is also something Im gonna try to avoid.
When you do videos like these you need to state more information regarding what constitutes chronic drinking or alcohol abuse. Maybe even throw in help lines for some at the end and try and calm us anxious viewers down with some good statistics or information lol
