ASMR Let's Talk: Alcoholic Drinks - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
1,939What does the existence and continued use of alcohol say about our species? And are we really as smart as we like to think?
Welcome to another episode where I talk about this psychoactive drug (the same category that includes coffee, cigarettes and marijuana) that seems to be more prevalent and saturated in today's society. I try to be as objective and unbiased as humanly possible, even getting a little existential at times. I talk about the basic facts and history, well known people who drink, the possible medical benefits and negative effects on the human body, the capitalist aspect, whether its existence and use even matters from a universal view, and then finish with my own experiences and how I've given up drinking for the rest of my life as of mid/late December 2016.
I would like to take this time to send all my best wishes to anyone out there who feels alcohol isn't good for them, or is dealing with alcoholism, and is trying to remain sober. You have my support.
And yes, this means no more beer videos. Though I may replace them with something else.

What is ASMR? It is both a sensation and a medium.
ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response and is the current, non-scientific name given to the feeling characterized as a pleasurable tingling sensation felt in the head, scalp, back and other regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and/or cognitive stimuli, such as crinkling bags, hand movements, whispering, personal attention or watching someone perform a task. It's like goosebumps, but much more pleasant.
ASMR videos are meant to intentionally help induce this sensation, also referred to as "tingles", but also provide a relaxing, calming, soothing, therapeutic and even entertaining experience for the viewer.
