A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

"I have literally not had alcoholic beverages even once in my life, how would it be possible to become an alcoholic given that?"

You must be a hardcore alcoholic if you had to abstain for that long.

I suppose there's no way for me to actually know if I'd be particularly susceptible to addiction from it or not, never having tried it

Yeah, same here. I was just making a joking advocatus diaboli argument.

I need some alcohol at least once per month.

Well clearly given your decision, your mother drank with you in the womb and you had fetal alcohol syndrome. Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic.

Checkmate, atheists.
