    If I were you I’d try to switch off to smoking weed instead. Much healthier, no hangovers, no adverse side effects, and so much cheaper! A chronically inflamed liver leads to some bad things, and dying from it is not pretty or gentle

      Not a chronic weed smoker, but how does weed help? Does it fulfill the same need?

      And isn’t this just trading lung health instead (and throat health, though I imagine alcohol isn’t great for your throat either)

        It fulfills the same need of “something to mark a time of relaxation.” while being much less detrimental to your health. Low temperature vaping and edibles are as low-impact as you can get to your lungs. Additionally, even if you opt for actually “smoking” the flower, you’re only ever taking a few hits (or if you’re like me, on most nights just one!) so it’s exponentially less harmful than cigarette smoking.

      I don’t drink more than twice a month. I do have an addiction to sparkling water however.

      Maybe I can get my wife to switch though, I’ll try! Thanks for heads up.
