I drink every night. Generally, it’s two whiskey gingers, but the pours are heavy - probably two shots in each drink. I do this so my mind will slow down and I can fall asleep. It works really well. Hasn’t affected my work or relationships. I don’t get hangovers. The only negatives are I snack too much and I get up around 3 to piss. But I had my blood pressure checked recently and it’s really fucking high.
So now I haven’t had a drink since the end of January. The evenings seem impossibly long and falling asleep is hard again. I don’t know what my end game is here. I love the idea of being powerful enough to never drink again, but I hate the idea of never having a drink while watching a hockey game or sitting on my back patio in the summer.
But this isn’t the alcohol thread. Sorry. I don’t like edibles. I like having two puffs off a j with my wife every couple months if the kids are out and I know we’re going to be rolling in the hay. It seems to enhance the experience significantly.
I don’t think your weekly intake is hurting you. My wife drinks one thc beverage most nights while we watch a tv show, and then she does a crossword puzzle and sleeps through the night. It has zero impact on the rest of her day. As long as you’re not driving or high when you need to be responsible - working, parenting, operating a forklift - I don’t think you should be worried.
