Alcoholic cerebellar degeneration is caused by chronic consumption.
If you aren't alcoholic already, and unless you have some very specific condition, the body will start getting rid of alcohol way quicker than you will be consuming it, through any means necessary.
Drinking a lot is still dangerous, but mostly due to drunken behaviour.
You're indeed right that drugs should be consumed responsibly, and alcohol is poison, but it's also not that dangerous, unless it's an addiction.

This shit is getting upvoted while I'm getting downvoted? Tell this to any medical professional and they will look at you the same way I look at flat earthers. Alcohol metabolism is capped, while your ability to consume it isn't nearly as capped as your body's ability to deal with it. That "by any means necessary" makes it far worse. Those who know, will know.

Another side note - tolerance /= faster metabolism.

Chug on few vodkas per hour and report back to me about your myth (or should I say, forward your autopsy report to me?)

My man, if you think I didn't do my fair share of stupid drinking, you're severely underestimating what college does to a young man.
Things that I did and not particularly proud of:

  • drinking a standart 0.5 liter bottle of vodka in one gulp (the trick is to swirl it so it does a little whirlwind, this way it creates laminal flow)
  • drinking 80% proof alcohol like it was regular vodka
  • drinking so much beer in one sitting, it was sloshing inside me like I was a baloon.
  • much much more.

Was it not smart? Yeah, totally. Was it fun? If you account for all the vomiting and hangovers and states of total drunkinnes, overal no, it wasn't fun, don't recommend. Did it give me any permanent damage including death? Nope, I was lucky enough to be smart enough to not make it an addiction, and because of that I am alive and as healthy as I could be at my age.

Humans themselves typically don't feel their cerebellum shrinking or damaging. Others, who know you well, notice it way before you.
