Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

It's a very personal choice, and alcohol is ingrained into a lot of our society. Do you drink and if so how much?

Before I had my first "hangover" I assumed I never had one either. It wasn't that I never had one, it was that I never dunk enough at a time to have one that was bad enough to identify as a hangover. Plenty of times after a late night of drinking I'd feel a bit bad in the morning, but I just assumed it was from the sleep deprivation rather than the alcohol.

If you never drink too much at one time you won't get hangovers. I don't think the mechanism behind it is fully understood.

Well as I said elsewhere, I rarely get beyond "a drink inside of me" and I positively hate being "actually drunk". (I'm 59. You can count on a single hand the number of times in my life I've been actually "drunk". My "I hate this feeling" cut-off seems to be the third drink of a social evening.)

That's a good practice. Alcohol is great, but only in moderation.
