@cit10jetjockey I’m kind of surprised by your post. Sitting around drinking a 6 pack of beer eating a pizza everyday does not sound like a healthy regime to me. Between the alcohol, pizza carbs and stationary status sounds like a prescription for self pity, in my opinion. Yes beer can fuzz your brain and pain but then you eat without thinking about it. If you’ve got chronic pain just find a good pain doc to get you on the right drugs and off the beer and pizza. The pain will not kill you but the beer and pizza may do it instead.
