      It might work great for some, but personally I choose not to drink. Alcohol gives me literally zero benefit, but I will end up with a headache after just one drink, plus it’s empty calories I don’t need.

        Ethanol is literally poison, you don’t need that. If you really wanted a buzz, THC / CBD is a much better option, and is available in edible form.

        Then again, there are other ways to divert yourself than drugs.

      I’ve occasionally used alcohol to wind down a couple times before, but I’d say drinking on all your off days is still something to avoid. Can’t risk getting addicted to it, even when [and especially when] alcohol makes you feel more sane.

      The only reason I have it sometimes is for the nice flavour pairings when mixing with non alcoholic drinks, but it is best practice to know and care about how much you’re drinking.
