Something about clean water too. Put a little alcohol in your water and it's safer. I don't know if they knew what was happening. Surely they didn't know about microbes but they might have noticed the correlation of getting sick less often when they put a bit of alcohol in the water.

kinda unrelated but it reminds me with the news of some people drinking alcohol to avoid covid and they end up died

Alcohol is also the second most addictive drug (after heroine), I've read.

for some types of people aye. still not clear if it is something you can be genetically predisposed for.

some strangeness that can come from genetical disposition, i have a very high pain tolerance but an abysmal tolerance to certain pain killers like morphine. which in my case is kinda good as i can keep myself relatively pain free despite having broken my back in two places and damaged the nerves beyond repair. i take 2 x 10 mg contalgin a day where others with my kind of damage need several hundred mg's of it.

my family had a few alcoholics in it, one of my moms sisters for one. she eventually stopped but stopping to abrubtly after so many years kills you faster than just drinking and she died .

yeah it sucks and those who suffer the worst are those left behind.

luckily i been free of this addiction in fact i only drink once a year (newyear) not because im a saint but i actually dont like the taste of alcohol that much.

@taaaki Would it be possible to configure the forum software so that you don't have to click 4 or 5 times on "Show previous comments" to display all comments at once when you visit a status update? See the screenshot:

The best in my eyes would be to just display all the comments by default.

I did a bit of digging through the forum settings and I could not find any configuration for this. Looking at the underlying code, the comment count per page is hardcoded to 3. I could update the code, but I'm reluctant to do so as this would need to be re-applied after each update.

That being said, it looks like we should start to brace for status updates being removed as Invision Forums v5 no longer supports status updates (we're still on v4.x):

Alright, thanks for the info. I personally never used the status updates, but, I looked into others' updates from time to time.
