Lived experience sits next to the community vote. Official sources never override either.
A post asking non-drinkers and non-smokers how they manage stress pulled in tens of thousands of replies. The most common answer by far: the gym, walks, or some kind of workout. Some replies swear a hard lift does more than a beer ever did. Others say that's easy to say when you have the time and energy, and a drink after a long shift is just more realistic for most people. Does exercise actually beat a drink for stress, or is that gym-bro copium?
