I’m still contemplating the first line. Interesting that people can lower their tolerance. I’ve heard people say before that it’s impossible to reduce tolerance, even recovering alcoholics who have been sober for years, find their tolerance is the same as it was years before. But perhaps it’s anecdotal and everyone’s different.
My second thought is the abbreviation ED for emergency department. Frustrating that ED can mean three different things.
Eating disorder? Erectile dysfunction? Oh you went to the emergency room. We call it the ER in the United states.
IME it comes back quickly if you ease back in but if you just go out to the bar and knock back 6 shots at once like you used to the EMTs very much will be scraping you out of a ditch. That’s how most experienced addicts OD, by not thinking about it and remembering to slow the fuck down with their dosing after holding together sobriety for a while.

It’d also called the ED in the US
I’ve been all over the USA and I’ve only seen ER for emergency room. I’m curious where have you seen in the USA it’s called ED?
