There are people that die after drinking a 750ml bottle of spirits.
Good rule of thumb is if you see someone drinking exponentially more than everyone else, but they dont really seem drunk, they are an enormous alcoholic and their tolerance is built up over years.
Dont copy those people.
Yep. At one point I was up to roughly a liter a day. I know this because I would buy a handle (1.75L), then the next day I would buy a handle, and then on the third day I didn't need to buy a handle. This was my life for over a year. I was an alcoholic way longer than that but that was my worst.
I just had blood tests done like six weeks ago and all my organs are in good shape. I have slightly elevated bad kind of cholesterol.
The body is amazing in what you can throw at it and bounce back.
Thats good to hear! I had a similar experience as well and it is very impressive not only how much a persons body can heal but how quickly too.
If you are worried about it I believe nearly all bad cholesterol comes from animal products, so it might be beneficial to reduce those in your diet if possible!
Thanks, I appreciate it. My wife made cabbage a few nights ago that would turn anyone vegetarian as long as they don't know that's in it.
I had stuffed cabbages with impossible meat and rice for christmas dinner myself. We have been making all my childhood family dishes again but vegan and its gone surprisingly well. Mashed potatatoes with "meat" gravy and corn is still one of my top meals and its healthier now too!
Is stuffed cabbages the same as cabbage rolls? Because those are amazing, we make them several times a year. We use half beef half hot Italian sausage, but I'd be down to try a vegan version for sure. And mashed potatoes are my all around favorite food, can you tell us how you make the vegan gravy?
The meat gravy dish is entirely seasoned with a packet of french onion seasoning mix, as that was how my mom made it when I was a kid. Thats probably why it tastes exactly the same too though.
Traditional brown gravy is mainly with vegetable broth, sauces like soy and Worcestershire, and spices. I usually dont add any replacement products myself but some add vegan butter or nutritional yeast (cheesy/umami).
The mashed potatoes are even simpler, I only use salt, pepper, olive oil, and garlic.
Thanks for replying, sounds great. We use heavy cream and real butter in our potatoes but I'm thinking about trying to go vegetarian, at least part time.
I thought for a long time it was impossible to make creamy potatoes without milk and butter but I really think olive oil does a better job, although to be fair I can't compare to non vegan mashed potatoes anymore to test it.
Making a meal you already like but healthier is a great way to slowly change to a more vegetarian or vegan lifestyle too. A super easy one is switching milk for any of the alternate milks. There are so many now and so many flavors and thicknesses, I think even non vegans would prefer non-dairy milks if they just tried more of them.
