alcohol, drinking culture
keep thinking about how hostile the internet can be if u even lightheartedly suggest doing Something Besides Just Day Drinking in a reply 2 a post where someone is like "it's 2 pm should i get wasted alone"
i had a friend get really hostile when i told a mutual friend to try a different activity to cope,, it was bizarre
alcohol, drinking culture
i know i can be pretty tone deaf and miss social cues but ALSO i am 97% sure i wasn't being overly preachy or sanctimonious about it. like i didn't phrase it in a pushy or rude way. felt weird, felt bad.
american culture's relation to alcohol is really weird and fucked when just gently suggesting "what if u do (x) instead" is seen as Impossibly Judgmental ...
