minus-squarestringere@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down3·2 months ago Almost like people can drink daily, and still be responsible about it. Almost everything is fine in moderation. Good for you, but that’s a very ableist thing to say.
minus-squarePhoenixDog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoNobody gets drunk and ruins their life or the lives of others off of a beer or two.
minus-squarestringere@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·2 months agoI didn’t say that. I said you were being ableist. Alcoholism is a disease.

minus-squarestringere@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months ago Almost like people can drink daily, and still be responsible about it. Completely ignoring that for an alcohic, no it is not. Ableist.

No, that is not how alcoholism and addiction work. Your ableism continues to shine through your ignorance on the subject.
minus-squarePhoenixDog@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·2 months agoThen 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.
