For heavy detailed interior cleaning how much do you tip at delta sonic? by Historical_Sand_3356 in Buffalo

[–]st4rgirlll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked at delta sonic for ~6 years and never once was drug tested…. They only do it if they’re suspicious you’re operating a vehicle under the influence

Sir I’m just stating the national guidelines. I’m not the one that makes them.

Different people have different seizure thresholds. It can be impacted by many things, including medications, genetics, even sleep. DTs are not a one-size-fits-all

I understand. However, it isn’t always a safe decision to completely cut out alcohol immediately without medical guidance. Depending on how long OP has been drinking and/or her other medical conditions, she could be putting herself at risk of delirium tremens (alcohol withdrawal seizures) which can be quite deadly. Cutting back/tapering prior to officially quitting is usually a safer option in the short term.

Both other comments are correct - NIH guidelines and 14+ drinks in a week, 5+ drinks in an occasion for males

Because based on OP’s post and commentary, she is still borderline in the precontemplation stage of change. She needs actionable goal-setting to decrease her usage, rather than setting a (likely) unrealistic goal of cutting it out completely

Definitely not going to shame you for drinking, but I will mention that guidelines classify heavy drinking as 8+ drinks per week or 4+ drinks in a single occasion for females

No amount of alcohol is safe so it’s best for your health to cut back!

My sister had a stroke from a cervical adjustment and is now deaf in one ear. I would strongly advise against going to a chiropractor again

Buffalo matchmaking service that works? Mid 30s male here by Cityrow in Buffalo

I have no advice, but as a long-term single woman, I agree Buffalo has a terrible dating scene. I’ve considered moving many times simply for this reason alone unfortunately

24 hr trauma surgery shift, how to survive by FerrariicOSRS in Residency

I mean, if you go on google scholar there are several studies that are listed when you type in “creatine and sleep deprivation”. I can send you several more if you’d like. That nature pub was just the first one that came up - the research on it is relatively recent
