It's a very personal choice, and alcohol is ingrained into a lot of our society. Do you drink and if so how much?

I don't. I find the blindspot society has for alcohol to be alarming and stupid. Far too many people outright require it to enjoy themselves at an event like a wedding, will decline an invitation if its not going to be present, and somehow don't see how that's an addiction. There's serious cognitive dissonance about how its somehow different than "needing" any other drug; if anything its worse, as alcohol withdrawal can actually kill you.

I never really picked up a taste for it and I'm glad for that, drunk people concern me. I'll cook with it, but i don't drink any beyond maybe a thimbleful to know the flavor I'm adding to a meal. Anything more than that and the only thing i can taste is straight alcohol.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
