    drinking and smoking for me. I ditched the booze early this year because it was worsening my health and mentality. unfortunately literally everyone I know is a heavy drinker and I live in a small town with nothing to do but go to the bar. it’s rough out here man. getting sober nuked my social life but at least I don’t have to deal with hangovers anymore.

      Mountain Dew was originally invented as a moonshine mixer, so that’s just returning to its roots.

    That’s definitely how alcoholism tends to manifest.
