Always been curious about prescription beer. What brand is it? Do you have options? Do companies provide it in exchange for free advertising? Is there just one brewery making hospital beer?

The serious answer is they don't write a prescription that says 'BEER' on it. In my case the doctor said not to stop drinking and prescribed lorazepam(which is when i learned lorazepam has zero effect on me whatsoever because i took 12 at once).

Yeah if you are able to leave the hospital and pick up a prescription for yourself that's not why prescription beer exists. If you were staying in the hospital for a few days or weeks and they don't want you to be detoxing the whole time they can write a prescription for beer. Of course you can just keep drinking whatever you have if you go home.

In the detox place where I was they just let people sieze. Granted it wasn't a hospital but they would give Librium if people had really bad DT, not alcohol.

I'd like to think that they just had it open in the background for a long time. I know I've racked up a crazy amount of hours on games because I alt-tab out and forget they're paused.

If my shoddy math is accurate this is roughly 227 days total of playtime. These games released within the span of about 18 months of one another. To put this in perspective I played 365 days overall on WoW from mid-06 to January '13 as a causal raider.

Visual Novels confuse me, why not just watch anime? It's not like they're very interesting and there's about zero interactivity that would elevate it above any random anime found on like Crunchy Roll.

So Watch Mojo did a video about the weirdest videos on Youtube, and that showed me WTF Don't Hug Me I'm Scared was, and now I know what my coworker was talking about, though I was expecting something more Wonder Shozen, and not David Lynchian Sesame Street. Anyways, a video suggested to that was DHMIC Theories, which I watched because the hell? Still going down the Rabbit Hole of Youtube theories about Youtube stuff a sugged video off that was Theories about That Poppy, which honestly is pretty cool and such, but from that came this video which the subject is AUG as gently caress;

There are more than one white girls who think their Japanese and gain followers based on that aren't there? Because there always seems to be another popping up here and there. There was the one who hide her really gross teeth, the one that moved to Japan and went into Grauve but then got to too fat and got kicked out, the one who never washes. These are all different people right? We shouldn't laugh at people with mental illness and this poor girl clearly has some issues, but what I will mock is the fact she seeks out people that not only enable her but also encourage it. Also her eating a giant bunt cake on her own.

Can't say for sure, my wife hears the stories, I report then. Generally there's a lot of sedation and drug induced rambling that happens in ICU.

The whole ward is a gross story generator. 12 hour shifts with a 1:1 nurse patient ratio and having the same patients around for weeks, sometimes months, you learn a lot.

Other tidbits, this dude is cathetered, they had to get a urologist in to do it cause no one else could find his penis and they has to order in a special bed on loan. He already ruined one bariatric bed.

Depression, mostly. It's hard to lose weight, and it only gets worse the higher your weight, so you stop giving a poo poo. Doctors might suggest surgery, but bariatric surgery has a fuckload of rules and stipulations required by health insurance (and doctors too, to be fair), not to mention it requires a lot of time, money, and decent health insurance. Even if that goes through, the 'easy' weight loss only takes you so far - you still have to make healthy food choices and exercise. The surgery just makes it easier forcibly limiting food intake and help curb hunger. Even then you can stretch your stomach back out. So, uh, yeah, sadbrains.

The thing that makes me sad about Simply Sarah is that she obviously likes to cook. Granted, it's all loving horrible, calorie-laden garbage, but it's not like she only eats fast food or frozen dinners. If only she directed that passion into good food.

I agree entirely. She seems sweet, and nice, and enjoys her "cooking". But as you say what she cooks is a revolting bucket of heart attack inducing lard, that has forced her to become the land whale she is.

I wonder what she would do if she was presented with a bunch of healthy recipes to try. Or at least recipes that didn't involve half a jar of mayonnaise.

Being less fair, what morbidly compells me to these videos is her wheezy voice, and how her face seems way too small for her head, as if thefat has subsumed her face and vocal cords.

Being raised fat helps. I grew up in a household where we at McDonalds at least once a week and weren't especially healthy otherwise, no surprise I didn't develop healthy eating habits when I got older until I realized I was a fat goon. Never managed to reach the point where I couldn't see my own junk though, would probably have killed myself if that ever happened to be honest.

Sanguinary Novel posted:

Also just throwing it out there, but even after you lose weight you don't like. Magically get better. You still look like poo poo, and you still feel like poo poo because you spent years being fat and that does terrible things to your body. To keep the weight off you have to be more careful than ever because it's super easy to slide right back into bad habits, and a lot of people mistake that for some kind of hosed up newfound ego or something. I've literally lost friends because they got mad at me when I said I didn't want to keep eating fast food constantly anymore because I apparently "thought I was better" than them. :( I just didn't want to put every pound I burned off, back on.

Real answer: It depends on the hospital. Mostly it's Busch or Natty or some bottom tier swill like that. Most of the time it's used in patients who have to stay a night or two after a minor procedure or trauma and the doctors don't want to run a whole detox protocol on them. It's mainly the surgeons that order it.

If you're someone who is high risk to go into withdrawals (have done it before, are a daily heavy drinker, have seized, etc) you'll get put on a DT protocol where you get checked for signs of withdrawal every few hours and given medicine as needed.
