Some ridiculous quotes from my environmental science teacher:
"Oil used to just pool up on the surface in Oklahoma, but those were easy picking days. Now you have to go deep, or deeper."
"The worst countries tend to have the most natural resources."
"Energy consumption per capita is so high in Canada because of the cold climate. You pretty much have to run the heat all year, except for June, July, and maybe August. Even in the summer the nights are cold, but people just bundle up. "
There is a certain amount of truth to all of those, just oversimplified or exaggerated. Cold climates do have higher energy use per capita. Current oil extraction methods often involve hard to get deeper oil.
Yeah hopefully this job is not that bad and the people are not idiots.. it should be fun though, I plan on exploring the local beer and wine selections for sure
think i'm an alcoholic. or at least borderline-alco. is it normal to be able to drink 90cl of vodka in a day?
Almost a liter? It depends on what you mean. You said "in a day": that could mean you're asking whether it's normal to be able to drink that amount and still be functional. Even that's pushing what should be considered "normal" if you're not really overweight since it would imply a very high tolerance for alcohol. So that's way too much if you're drinking that amount every day.

well, my bmi is 28, so yes - i'm overweight. i'm drunk perhaps 2 times a week. and "high" of using benzodiazepines and z-drugs 4 times a week. sure, there's a cross-tolerance, but i can't really understand how i tolerate this amount of alcohol really.

BMI is flawed and often classifies people who are really of normal weight (but often with more muscle mass) as overweight when they're really not. But in any case, 28 is only slightly overweight. Obesity doesn't begin until you reach a BMI of 30. But in this case BMI doesn't matter anyway. It's simply your weight that does since we're considering the amount of alcohol compared to your total body weight. It definitely sounds like cross-tolerance is significant in your case. Assuming you're drinking that much and getting high on separate days, that's 6 days out of 7 you're on substances, so cross-tolerance is to be expected.
I've been there before. Not to nearly the same extent, but reform is possible. Not in any position to judge, even if I had any desire to do so.
Anyway, kronan, take it easy and best of luck to you. There's more to life than drugs and booze. I say that as I'm downing some Guinness, myself. Tonight I drink to your well-being.
