      I find it hard to believe that they could be drinking straight liquor all day without at least appearing drunk at some point. not saying the quantities of drinking can't be done, but your behavior would be affected eventually. this happens to don circa season 4, but he's constantly just drinking whiskey straight for three seasons and acting totally sober

      like when the drink gets the better of him in the elater seasons, because thats what would happen, then again my theory is that they ate real food so could handle a bit more than our seed oil bodies but i made that up

        Not only that but the alcohol they drank was of a much higher quality than anything you get at a liquor store today.

        The stuff people drink today, you would be sent to prison for selling that shit in the 1960's, it's all rotgut. They would have spit it out if you tried to slip them modern alcohol.

        The shit they drank went down a lot smoother, didn't make them get sloppy unless they really overdid it, and the hangovers were much more mild.

        Not to mention the fact that they were born and raised on 100% real food and never ate plastic or anything with an ingredient list that requires a chemistry degree to decipher.

        Even the fricking SUNLIGHT was healthier for people back then. True story.

          100% I've read few times that cigarettes today are much more toxic also

          Maybe the stimulant nicotine made them clearer when they were drunk idk, either way both have been mass produced and made more poison, they took being a business man from us

                You can buy old M.R.E.'s or what were called "C-rations" at the time, basically an emergency meal pack for an individual soldier to be able to eat at the front lines, you can get them from the Vietnam, Korean, and even World War 2 era, and many of them contain not only a ready-made meal but even some cigarettes the soldiers could either smoke or use for bartering.

                Get one. Smoke one of those old cigarettes. Even one that is 50-60 years old, just smoke one and I'll tell you something, you'll fricking quit smoking. At least you'll quit smoking the modern cigs they sell at gas stations and smoke shops today.

                Tasting a real cigarette will blow your fricking mind when you compare it to what people smoke nowadays, I'm telling you, it'll fricking terrify you what modern cigs taste like, I'm dead serious that you probably won't be able to make yourself smoke them anymore.

                Anybody need help quitting cold turkey, just try it.

            The real human population on Earth right now is more like 3-5 billion, not 7-8 like they claim. They don't want people to ever know how successful depopulation is, so they do everything they can to cram everybody into tighter and tighter spaces to make it SEEM more crowded while simultaneously sounding the alarm about overpopulation.

            The covid vaxx was endgame, but I think we still have a year or maybe even two left before people start to really notice that even the very most crowded places are starting to get a lot more sparse than they were just a few short years ago.

          lmao this is just straight up false. fermentation and distillation has been around since the dawn of civilization. alcohol is alcohol. the percentage of alcohol per volume is consistent in all bottles and distributed liquor.

            Dipstick, no shit alcohol is alcohol, but they add a lot of chemicals to it now that would have been fricking illegal to put in and sell to people in the 1960's

            Of course they make the alcohol the same way as they have since the dawn of time, they keep and drink that for themselves, then they add a bunch of chemicals roughly analogous to antifreeze and they sell that to credulous chucklefricks like you.

            That's why the deleterious effects of chronic alcohol abuse and alcohol poisoning that used to start hitting people in their 60's, 70's, and 80's are now hitting people HARD in their 20's and 30's. People are actually drinking way LESS alcohol nowadays compared to before, before you try to use that fricking excuse.

          Yes, there are plenty of functional alcoholics in business/law like this today even (although most people prefer stimulants now).
          The most unrealistic thing is you don't look like a model, you look like shit when it catches up with you (and it will).

          Not only do people in these high-end jobs (or just most people outside of burgerland) have access to 'real food' but its legitimately dissociated from reality to think we're worse at fermentation and distillation now. These are legitimately high school level lab techniques.

    I find it hard to believe that they could be drinking straight liquor all day without at least appearing drunk at some point. not saying the quantities of drinking can't be done, but your behavior would be affected eventually. this happens to don circa season 4, but he's constantly just drinking whiskey straight for three seasons and acting totally sober

      In the early seasons, they mostly only have a drink or two during the day. They also take naps, eat lunch and drink coffee -- those will sober you up. Of course, Don sort of gives into straight alcoholism later in the series, but a couple drinks during the day is sustainable if you have the right balance.

        Also if you're constantly having a glass you'll simply get used to the slight inebriation and not appear drunk unless you're completely blitzed. Advance alcoholics can have absurd levels of alcoholic in their system and appear fine, then their liver fails and they're fricked.

      There's also the volumes to account for aside from the regularity. Drinking a "single" serving, so a shot more or less, of a 40% spirit that you're well aquatinted with would be like pounding a light beer. Most of the time when I see them drinking a double it's either something they nurse through dialogue or over time. Drinking a double too quickly simply because you tell yourself you're able to however can turn your buzz into something pretty noticable unless you're around other drinkers that you can blend in with.

      The real trouble is these dudes drinking a fifth per man every couple of days because of some hours long dinner with business or because their life is a soap opera. It's not just fricking over your body by over doing it, but it mentally puts you in a space were over doing it when it's inappropriate is 1, ok because if you can handle *that* much you can obviously handle *this* much. and 2, you never notice that your casual craving is slowly becoming an impulsive habit that can easily be ignored just by virtue of being so familiar with having it in hand.
