Nobody gets drunk and ruins their life or the lives of others off of a beer or two.

I didn't say that. I said you were being ableist. Alcoholism is a disease.

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

And when did I say it wasn't?

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Almost like people can drink daily, and still be responsible about it.

Completely ignoring that for an alcohic, no it is not. Ableist.

You become an alcoholic by abusing alcohol, not just from drinking it in moderation and being aware of your consumption.

Did you even read my original comment? Or are you just making up your own argument and getting mad at it.

No, that is not how alcoholism and addiction work. Your ableism continues to shine through your ignorance on the subject.

Then please. With your vast knowledge of how ableism and alcoholism works (since you seem to know both better than me), I beg you to educate me. I'd absolute love to hear how you define both.
