I have a friend who’s alcohol consumption has gotten out of control. Me and his other friends/family are planning an intervention and so I’ve been doing a lot of research/reading on the topic.

NEVER and I mean NEVER have I seen so many fucking ads for alcohol in my LIFE. Instagram? 15 ads in a half hour of scrolling reels. YouTube? Ads. Google results? Ads. Twitter? Ads.

It’s fucking everywhere and it’s SICK. I’m researching how to help someone stop drinking and I’m getting inundated with ads for anything from gin, beers, vodkas and more. I can’t even imagine having an alcohol issue and trying to find help for myself with the web being this way.

It’s fucking sick.

Unethical life pro tips: visit AA meetings to get sobriety coins and exchange them for free drinks.

You can probably just buy the coins online lmao

AA sourced sobriety coins cost a LOT trust me. You dont ever want to have to find out. Not that they charge you for the coins (they do not), but whatever landed you in there likely cost you more than some online coins would, is my point.

People are talking about going to AA just for the sobriety coins. I don't think they're actually doing it earnestly because they really have a problem they want AA to help them with. So nothing actually "landed" them there.

You never know, maybe my problem is lack of money for drinks.

You're fun at parties huh

Been there, you have to actually have been a regular member for those said months until you can earn tokens. I don't think the elders give them out to randos on the street.

Are they less than a drink? I sense an arbitrage opportunity.
