      And those vitamines are just crap.

      There has been a very recent extensive study of vitamin C “supplements”. You know the conclusion was that there is only one sole reason that taking vitamin C that is good for you?

      C vitamine deficiency.

      Badum tss…

        To be fair the only reason I took any vitamins is in case I’m deficient in something specific with my modern and ahitty diet. Currently I’m not taking any but I’m just as likely deficient as anyone else.

          Yeah, I do the same. My main gripe with a lot of them is that they usually have way too much of some vitamins or minerals. The only one that should be >100% IMO is B12, as there is no upper tolerable limit and many people have issues absorbing it. My multivitamin just has 100% of everything except B12 at 2000%. That way if I have a gap, it gets filled.

          In our modern lives we all have D vitamin deficiency, but as you can overdose (fat soluble vitamin) you have to get a prescription for that.

            Vitamin D is available OTC. It’s a much lower dose than prescription strength, but it’s available, at least in the US.

              Yeah not in the EU, or as you say in so low doses it’s not useful :-/

              I get a mega dose for October, and December. Do the same, D vitamine deficiency is linked with so many problems later in life, most of them in the brain.

    Makes sense, praying will do you about as much good as a multivitamin if you actually drank 37 beers lol

    Maybe try a few glasses of water instead?

      Possibly while lying on the shower floor because after that much (at least for me) absolutely nothing will stay inside my stomach longer than a millisecond.

      Puking up water that’s still cold was an experience I’ll cherish for life.

        I knew the face, even the image was familiar, but I just don’t watch TV, and famous old white guys all look so similar, so I looked it up. Figured somebody else might also wonder, so be a good Lem and saved some folks a click.
