Thoughts on this random matter?

So I noticed my grandma has been slipping alcohol into all my food/soup/everything I consume... Idk how I only just noticed this (soup tasted funny lol). Her response?: "It's only a little, don't be a baby." Sigh, my tolerance isn't what it used to be. Anyway, is alcohol in moderation really "good" for you? This soup honestly tastes like someone just poured Vodka into it...

Just ask her to stop. If/when you want alcohol, you can make that decision yourself.

If she doesn't stop, slip laxatives into everything SHE consumes and see how she likes it

Uuuhhh...don't have her food or drinks anymore. I work in the beer industry and the #1 one thing is that while I am a strong proponent of beer and alcoholic drinks, they should always be taken with full consent and understanding of your own limits.

Alcohol itself is not good for you. You'd get no benefits.

WHY is she doing this? It’s not normal.

It may be time to slip her into a nursing home not even kidding she sounds a bit senile

Does she only do it with your food or does she eat the stuff herself?
If its the latter, she maybe just like the taste of it.^^

Yea, that's mostly it...she just likes alcohol lol. She drinks straight Johnny Walker on the regular. Yet somehow she's extremely healthy for her age (90 years old) and she doesn't even need glasses!

But still, she puts alcohol in things that just don't seem appetizing when there's alcohol in it, at least in my opinion.

Alcohol has extra calories and provides little to no nutrition. If anything, the addition of it to food is detrimental.

Alcohol in moderation is not exactly healthy (it's not that unhealthy either). Wine usually is healthy in moderation, but that has to do with the tannins in the wine rather than alcohol (and even then, there are scientific studies that shows that the tannins don't actually affect much, like chocolate).

What your grandmother is doing is potentially extremely illegal, and it is a huge consent issue if you are not made aware of the alcohol content upfront.

 

[Shaz]

He's aware of it now

Is she still doing it?

 

[Frostorm]

She's stopped, of course. Her intentions weren't bad, she was just misinformed. She was likely attributing the benefits of wine (from the tannins as mentioned earlier) to other forms of alcohol as well.

 

[Bendyizzt]

It's just bad, alcohol can really change you...make sure she does not continue this because alcohol is in drugs as well...

 

[Frostorm]

Wait wah?...what drugs are you talking about that have alcohol in them?
