Alcoholic cerebellar degeneration is caused by chronic consumption.
If you aren't alcoholic already, and unless you have some very specific condition, the body will start getting rid of alcohol way quicker than you will be consuming it, through any means necessary.
Drinking a lot is still dangerous, but mostly due to drunken behaviour.
You're indeed right that drugs should be consumed responsibly, and alcohol is poison, but it's also not that dangerous, unless it's an addiction.
This shit is getting upvoted while I'm getting downvoted? Tell this to any medical professional and they will look at you the same way I look at flat earthers. Alcohol metabolism is capped, while your ability to consume it isn't nearly as capped as your body's ability to deal with it. That "by any means necessary" makes it far worse. Those who know, will know.
Another side note - tolerance /= faster metabolism.
Chug on few vodkas per hour and report back to me about your myth (or should I say, forward your autopsy report to me?)
Alcohol also creates reproduction.
You also will vomit when too much alcohol is consumed. Even if you are passed out.
Ask me how much alcohol and different drugs, including rarely known ones like 25l-nbome I've used. Medical field and drugs have always fascinated me, hence my excessive reading on it and the potential dangers associated with them. What I said isn't also some hard-coded event that will most definitely happen, it's actually mostly down to genetics where some will deal with said substances better than others. Look up super-hangover gene (forgot what was it called ironically)
You all seem to be ignoring the "potentially" word from my original comment.
Potentially is doing too much heavy lifting. Everything can Potentially kill you. Excess water consumption kills you better than alcohol
Eating beef could Potentially kill you with brain parasites. Lettuce coils Potentially kill you with e coli.
I personally haven't seen people fuck up their health long term from few bad parties where they drink water and pass out puking over themselves, I guess we live in vastly different places.
