But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Ok, I am glad you said it, bon, because while I do not drink every day, I have two glasses of wine if I am going to have one. And I do have a drink more often than not.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Frances Bean is 17? Wow.

That was my reaction too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that's bonkers. Even at two drinks every single day, I would call it medium.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

More than one drink in a day is not drinking in moderation?

I can see if one of the drinks is with breakfast, but two glasses of sake with dinner? That's so not a lot. And I guess only .75oz of overproof liquor. Which reminds me--I need lemons so I can have rum toddies now. Booyah.

Funny-- the British guidelines say 2 -3 drinks per day!

Still, in keeping with the original questions, I do not think it is strange that PC or anyon don't drink, and I do think it wa very rude to have asked about it, as it could be quite personal!

Ha! I wondered if the British guidelines would be different.

And isn't 5 drinks "binge drinking" here? The US is a mess.

Rather than a formal taxonomy, this diagram by Ibrahim Evsan divides geek culture into activities, obsessions, social communities, terms, idols, and types. Its primary flaw is that it does not take cross-breeding into account.

I'd say its primary flaw is that it's very much boy-geek centric.

I have an ignorant history question- back in the day (like the middle ages) I have been lead to believe that people mostly consumed wine and mead and such because the water supply was icky. Is this not true, or were the walking around semi-tipsy all day, or as the alcohol pretty watered down? I have always been curious.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Somewhere in my googling, though I'm afraid I can't find it again, I came across a chart of international definitions of "moderate drinking" and it will probably some as no surprise to anyone that the US had the lowest limit.
