This is the best part of this little scuffle...so many conservatives losing their minds over a brand of beer that you only drink when you’re dirt-poor in college or so sloppy-ass drunk that any liquid will do.

Glad he is supportive of LGBT folks. But Bud Light still tastes like watered down piss.

This woman was never “scared.” She wanted to murder her neighbor, researched the best way to do it, and baited that poor woman into walking up to her door so she could shoot her.

“-Owens banged on the door so hard, everything started shaking and she thought the door was going to come off,” she said in court.

This should definitely have a hate crime enhancement. 

Guaranted the next few months at MillerKnoll will have massive ressources deployed to to find and identify the employees who leaked the video.

I hope everyone at that company starts looking for a new job, leaving this jackass CEO high and dry.

This showed up on various subreddits/youtubes last week and apparently MillerKnoll bent over backwards to try and get it taken down as fast as it went up.  I am pretty sure you can guess it wasn’t because the CEO didn’t like how her glasses looked. Gotta love the tone deaf jackasses who double down on their powertrip…

I read Quit Like a Woman and was struck by the research about how alcohol companies specifically target women now because they ran out of male demographics to pursue. They’ve been guiding women to drink more overall and harder stuff. The “wine mom” aesthetic with drinks at every function, to cope, or to reward…

Great considerations to ponder.

Fuck right off with this “lens of shame” bullshit. What I read was a person who absolutely ISNT ashamed, but has found the right path for themselves in life- we should all be so lucky.

There is no safe amount of alcohol. It is literal poison. I don’t have any shame about my previous drinking (aside from when I got too drunk and did dumb stuff). I gave my perspective of how I was a product of my alcohol-centric environment and how it took a long time to get away from feeling obligated to drink that…

I just wrote half a novel in the comments saying basically the same thing. You capture it perfectly in fewer words. I was the “could never have one” person because what’s the point? I didn’t sip a cocktail for the taste, I wanted the taste AND the buzz. And once I had the buzz, I wanted to keep it.

Anytime. I think you’re one of the people who had been very supportive of me back in 2021 when I stopped drinking and would write about my experience on SNS. Thank you for that. I just wrote a longer reply to Disco Sucks about my experience. I’m honestly shocked that pro-drinking mean girl shit is being posted in…

For the people this article is talking about, “cheap and easy pleasures” don’t stop there. People come to rely on their substances to deal with trauma, stress, and the ups and downs of everyday life. It can be hard to step back from drinking even when you want to because our society revolves around it and “casual”…

Thank you for saying this. 

I’ve been sober since 2004 and it’s been amazing for me. I loved alcohol, my favorites were beer and vodka. At the end, when I was buying tall boy Budweisers from a bodega after having been to rehab twice, it was clear I was in a huge downward spiral. I lost friends, relationships, and jobs. I almost lost my car and I…

“... I’d rather risk them thinking I used to be a raging alcoholic who had to quit versus someone who just didn’t like to drink. That’s some entrenched thinking about the role of alcohol and how it plays into our identities.”

Loved this. I quit drinking a few weeks before the start of the pandemic which makes it...checks watch...just over 3 years. My drinking wasn’t out of control when comparing it to the narrative we’ve been fed around what qualifies as worth quitting over but it certainly was gray area and as a daughter of an alcoholic…

Leslie Jamison wrote about people’s fascination with the downward spiral but not sticking around for the “boring” recovery stories in her book The Recovering. Really recommend that title for writers who struggle with the cliches and platitudes that come with getting sober, and also for exploring how writers and…
