Reparations

[OngBonga]

Well no trust me I couldn't. After two days I'd be like 'sign me off of this i feel like shit'

So would I. I'm not much of a drinker, because it makes me feel like shit the next day. But if I just kept drinking regardless, my body would adjust. Or I'd die. Very probably the former. It makes me feel like shit because I'm not used to being drunk. That said, there are certainly alcoholic drinks I like enough that I could become an alcoholic if I tried hard enough.

Most people become alcoholic because drinking is normal, especially when younger, and it simply becomes a habit.

But you won't do something if it's not rewarding on some level. There's some difference in how rewarding alcohol is to some people versus others' brains. For some, they get a big reward from drinking, for others its more modest.

So if this in any way related to oppression?

Don't know. The brain probably is affected by oppression but whether that changes reward circuits or not is beyond my expertise.

And whether that oppression is real or simply perceived is also open to debate.
