Completely different biochemical mechanism than withdrawal from an addicting substance. And yes, over the many years of working in hospital, I've seen many cases of severe hypoglycemia, practically all of them in diabetics. And diabetes is NOT addiction to sugar, and sugar withdrawal won't kill you in a way alcohol withdrawal will kill an alcoholic. |

I think you'd have to starve a normal person to death. The normal body is going to keep compensating for no sugar. Now if you already have a medical condition, then lots of things may kill you that don't normally do. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

I still see them in candy shops (like full service candy shops), but you don't really see them in gas stations and corner stores anymore (at least I do not.) |

PLEASE tell me you are not serious!?!? I have been involved in treating people suffering from withdrawal from alcohol. It can be fatal. Do some soul searching…. Why would you POSSIBLY post something so absurd??? |

Because I do not believe it to be absurd. SOME people can get addicted, but these are the type of people who can get addicted to anything. I have seen people as hooked on diet Coke as on alcohol. The President is a fink. |

How many times do you have to make posts like this asking how Duffy could possibly say something so dumb before you come to a certain conclusion that the rest of us made years ago…? “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18764 | Interesting premise, which is likely true I think. Boycotts only work when you can easily replace the boycotted item. The argument that Bud lite is both mediocre and easily replaceable makes it an easy target. People that drink lite beer don't want to give it up, but they want a replacement. When a product doesn't suffer those kinds of things, it may outlast any boycott. Of course, I think there is one other factor here, in that it could survive in a smaller version of itself because it was so big to begin with. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
