People are so weird in their obsession with alcohol and getting drunk…

I think what you're missing is that getting drunk is very fun.

This is it.

Some people drink 1 tequila, do a Hangover, and go, "Drinking is bad" smh

To be fair, alcohol is a poison.

So is caffeine but we love coffee, tea, and chocolate too.

I get where you're going but how many coffees does it take to kill a person vs how many beers

About 4g of caffeine is lethal, https://www.npr.org/2023/12/07/1217758671/a-lawsuit-says-a-man-died-after-drinking-a-highly-caffeinated-beverage-at-panera

The lethal dose of alcohol is about 5 to 8 grams per kilogram of body weight.
