I work in an obstetrician and gynaecologist’s office. we have to tell patients on a regular basis that they are binge drinking weekly when they think they are simply consuming a normal amount of alcohol on the weekends.

having more than 3 drinks in a single sitting if you have an estrogen based endocrine system is a binge that is medically significant.

having more than 5 in a sitting is a medically significant binge for someone with a testosterone based endocrine system.

every time you do this, it significantly impacts your risk of getting breast cancer, and damages your liver. it takes time to recover from that liver damage. if you’re having a 3-5 or more drink binge on a weekly basis, you are an alcoholic, medically speaking, and your liver is not recovering.

again: the bar for what binge drinking is, medically, is so much lower than what you think it is.

alcohol is a really toxic substance and not something you should fuck around with.

again: if you have an estrogenized hormone system (common for most women), then 3 drinks is a binge. if you have a testosteronized hormone system (common for most men), then 5 drinks is a binge.

anything above that number, consumed as frequently as weekly or more, and you’re medically a binge drinking alcoholic.

also, if you’re drinking any quantity of alcohol 6 days a week or more, that’s another threshold at which, medically speaking, you meet the definition of alcoholism. your liver needs more days without alcohol in your system than just one a week to recover and be healthy.

I don’t say any of this to shame anyone—to me, alcoholism or substance use disorders aren’t a sign of weakness or moral failing. and most of us genuinely don’t know this stuff.

information is key. you don’t have to stop drinking, but the utter lack of education on alcohol + the normalization of binge drinking in current society leads to many people drinking without any idea of what it’s doing to their bodies.

Because a vodka shot is not the same as (idk, some low alcohol percentage alcohol.)

The deadliest infectious disease in human history is cured by the same packet of chewable tabs individually packed in foil. It comes in beef flavor so your dog won't resist taking its meds as much. It's like a hundred bucks for 30 tablets on pretty much any pet pharmacy.

In the long ago times (1970's), in poor rural America, I had a bacterial infection affecting one of my toes. It lasted for many months. Long enough to affect my gait. It leaked puss. I was an ignorant child and lived with it. Chronic pain and probably systemic inflammation. When someone else finally noticed, the family eventually took me to the nearest doctor. The "treatment" was to soak the affected foot in salty water. After a month of that with no great change, part of my toe nail was removed surgically. The infection returned. More soaking. Still infected. Worse pain, because the newly regrown toenail was slicing through very tender skin with every step.

One day, I was treating the family dog for an infection it had. For some reason, something clicked and I decided to try breaking up one of the dog's antibiotic pills and soaking one of my fresh bandages/cushions in the stuff.

Lo. Within 2 days, puss production was gone. Within 5 days, the wound skin was healed and the swelling dramatically reduced. I could put weight on my foot without excruciating, stabbing pain. Everything was healed within a few weeks. And has stayed healed ever since.

My toe was saved through a topical antibiotic that my family could afford for a dog, but not a person. And i learned over time that the local "doctor" didn't think to provide cheap antibiotics in the first place.

Felt a bit weird making this, but outside of work and the pension, this is one of the only ways I can think of to get more income. Of course I don’t expect to get enough from commissions alone, but I hope it’ll be an extra push.

it would be better if it was catastrophic at least, then at least i could then be: oh silly me. that's just my wild imagination. but it stays grounded.

It stuff that could easily happen if not enough people would be actively stopping it. just a liiittle apathy and it would be in the next stage. And there often was enough folks who said "this doesn't make sense for humanity" and brain would chill.
