@ETW69 Your right dude. It’s something like you have to smoke over 115 pounds of marijuana in under 15 minutes to OD on it, and that’s just not even physically possible. There has been no recorded fatality from marijuana usage, ever, period, yet the comparison to deaths from alcohol is INSANE.
@EssenRay08 YOU AINT GOT NO PANCAKE MIX !!
@LabRat6619 I agree with you. I reduced myself to violent words because Dark Light is ignorant. I am glad there are people like you out there who feel the same way.
@DarkLight789 I am a professional and usually pride myself on using my knowledge. I will say that red wine is healthy in moderation, but the point of this post is to show you the effects of alcohol ABUSE! I would never stoop to this level but you are an insensitive, uneducated ASSHOLE! Think about what you are saying and use your sociological imagination to see outside of the box. Do you even know how ignorant you sound when using the work MotherFer>? I am 30 yeard old how old are you..ugh!
@DarkLight789 why so angry?
I’m in the hospital for alcohol poisoning right now. My blood-alcohol level was .45. I’m so glad I have friends that were smart enough to call he ambulance.
@LabRat6619 it dont mater if its sold remember proibition (spelled wrong)
they tried to ban it and people started making it. its like weed thats illegal but it aint stopping me from smoking it.
and sorry for my fail spelling.
@LabRat6619 its all apart of the NWO
My Best Friend Died By Alcohol And Drug Overdose When She Was 16!!! R.I.P. Amy
@DarkLight789 Spread the truth, friend!
Two days ago I woke up at the emergency center due to alcohol poisoning. It was my first experience with strong alcohol(40%+) and I regret my act. Even now I still feel a bit dizzy and also feeling tired.
Anyways, lesson learned.
I got alcohol poisoning last night , i was drinking vodka and cider , alot of vodka and cider and ended up passing out. i remeber seeing an ambulance and waking up in the hospital with drips in my arm , that night wasnt too bad but this morning was terrible
how much is too much im dieing to know!
also when you say save a live you sould probably play the fray song as well, just so that we know what you mean O-
Dude i’m 13 and i just got drunk yesterday..it was fucking horrible… i was with some wierd kids that were fucking with me…i was puking all over the place and it was horrrrrrrrible…but weed has NEVER done that to me…
More than 4 or 5 huh? I’ll remember that. At most I drink about 3 to 4 drinks within a two hour period.
ill just stick to my herb…….
HAHA Good point but i think its so we NEVER forget they are doctors and therefore better then all of us.
one beer pleace…nice
Alcohol can cause brain damage, coma and puking. To be fair I’d rather be at a party with people on pot than being boozed up puking, and falling everywhere.
Why do doctors always have that stupid gadget around their necks? Isn’t that somewhat cliche’? I mean really: It is doubtful that any of the camera men’s hearts are gonna an need emergency examination during this filming.
fuck drinking just do drugs…you’ll live a lot longer
Anyone ever herd of moderation?
Its sold because the government makes a shitload of money from it.
Alcohol sucks
I know, right. There are so many damn alcohol and smoking warnings from the health care thing and the government #. If they don’t want us drinking and smoking why is it legal in the first place if they know it’s dangerous?

Interesting… I would have thought that by calling it a “disease” the locus of the addiction is seen to reside within the individual. But your statement:
“By calling it a disease, i used to give it power and qualities it really didn’t ever have. it was just booze.”
implies that the locus of addiction (“disease”) resides in the substance (alcohol).
This would suggest that alcohol is somehow “diseased”…
The term “disease” is used to describe alcoholism – not alcohol…
Its not a disease and alcohol isn’t even that addicting. I mean cigarettes, coke and heroin are addicting but alcohol? If you can’t handle alcohol than you suck, or your native american.
About 12% of American adults have had an alcohol dependence problem at some time in their life. Alcohol dependence is acknowledged by the American Medical Association as a disease because it has a characteristic set of signs and symptoms and a progressive course.
Thank you for telling the truth. No one is powerless therefore the AA cult lies to everyone from the 1st step on. Everyone in AA thinks that they’re your Boss while all of their lives are about their so-called “addictive personalities” which of course does not exist. AA just creates weak willed people who need useless AA cult dogma to justify themselves through the day.
There is a CURE for ALL addiction! I have seen it with my own eyes. I personally know friends who have been addicted to all types of hardcore drugs and alcohol. Now, as unbelievably as it seems, they are completely Freed from it. They have so much Hope in their life, so much Joy now, so much Peace that they have never experienced. I too was hooked on my addiction for years. Now I am experiencing complete freedom and hope myself. For proof of this, click on my name to see these powerful stories.
The idea that alcoholism is a disease has always been a political and moral notion with no scientific basis. It was first promoted in the U.S. around 1785 as an erroneous physiological theory (Levine, 1978), and later became a theme of the temperance movement (Gusfield, 1963). It was revived by AA in the 1930s, which derived its views from an amalgam of religious ideas, personal experiences, anecdotal observations, and the unsubstantiated theories of a contemporary physician (Robinson, 1979)…
I didn’t hear a word he said…
this guys hot
Hey, whatever.
The AA approach works for me, and has done so for the better part of three decades. Dr. Peele thinks he has a “better approach”? Good for him. I’m not gonna risk screwing around with what has done the job for me.
Cheers!
Who have you helped today Dr Peele?
if one actually is interested in the medical proof/perspective, they may want to research “THIQ”
dido.
BULLSHIT…YES IT IS 4 SOME…
just because he is very interlectual doesnt mean he is right. i bet he isnt even an alcoholic. for me this is aload of crap. i have alcoholism but im abstinant. once i have one it becomes an obsesion and i want more, its a mental illness.
One I liked was if you take 100 people and out them in a room for a month shooting smack at the end of the month you will have 100 people addicted to heroin. If you take 100 people put them in a room and get them to drink about 14 ounces of booze everyday for a month you will have oh maybe 90 people want to get the hell out of there and not drink for a while and you will have 8 to 10 that want to keep on going. Don’t know what that means;-)
I hate how people say alcoholism is a disease.
@kramnrublaw The addiction rate of heroin is only slightly higher than alcohol and the addiction rate of pain killers which are essentially the same thing, but at a lower dose, is actually lower than alcohol.
@Hammersley1967 Lol, that’s fine. I am guilty of the same when I am bored. I love watching people react in a hostile manner to a complete stranger. It’s so easy to control the strings on some of these people.
@Hammersley1967 I don’t know about that. Most people can take a shot of rum and never become a drunk. Not the same with heroin. It sounds like you spent too much time in AA. How is Jesus? Is he still appearing in potatoes in poor areas?
@kramnrublaw
“We all have a different minds. I think we will probably understand once we are dead”
We all have different minds and psycho-emotional patterns thereof…
That is why 7% of the population (give or take) are PSYCHO-EMOTIONALLY addicted to mind and mood altering substances (alcohol included).
But to say that illicit drugs are somehow purely physically addictive in entirely different way to alcohol (which is supposedly the only drug that is psychologically addictive) is a myth.
@arizonabay07
LIAR!!!
@KatieAnd5a5ah good for you katie…you’re probably not a lousy no good for nothing drunk like some of us who can’t control our drinking once we start…you don’t have an obsession of the mind (hands her a cookie)…now scram…
@Hammersley1967 where do you get off motherfucker…would you feel good about yourself if you kept someone from a 12 step program just because YOU have a resentment and don’t have the capacity to be honest? You must be an al-anon…lol
@KatieAnd5a5ah There is a very amusing bit from the radio called “don’t blame the booze”. I think I put it in the James Frey video somewhere near the end. Check it out….
@pjbergin Now I’ve been guilty of ignorance, but most of the time if i don’t know something, i say , i don’t know, or i say nothing at all. Far too often i try to reach people but they just don’t see. But i do thank you, when i realized alcohol was just a habit, i found it had no more power. By calling it a disease, i used to give it power and qualities it really didn’t ever have. it was just booze.
