Hello fellow Canadian. As a nurse I am so pleased to see that you are able to provide this vital and life saving care to and for yourself!! Knowing that you can take back much of your autonomy with the chronic condition you must endure gives me great hope for all patients in the future. I hope that you have continued success in everything you pursue.

Don't get me wrong, there are still great lengths we must take in ensuring and promoting positive patient outcomes, but in-home and patient administered dialysis is a massive win for our universal healthcare system.

Yes. Absolutely. Like 100% it's a "YES" to avoid all alcohol. There is no "safe" amount of alcohol to consume https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(18)31310-2/fulltext

It immediately causes inflammatory markers to spike in the body, harms the liver, and obviously has adverse reactions with regards to intoxication.

As a nurse I wish everyone would stop drinking and start microdosing psychoactive mushrooms, if and when they are safe to consume for your own physiology. Way easier to control and WAY more fun, with no hangover effects.

I know of no person who ever got a hangover from a night of microdosing, nor do I know anyone who ever got into a bar fight, or who crashed their car and injured others or themselves from microdosing. I know a lot of dead people from alcohol related adverse effects and events though.

Its a bizarre cultural phenomenon that our populations consume the amount of alcohol that we do on a regular basis. Most High-proof alcohols weren't even available before the advent of distillation. The highest anyone can usually get through pure fermentation is around the 20% mark, and that's with rigorous care and attention. Most yeasts fizzle around the 12% mark. So our bodies are not even naturally inclined to consume many of the beverages avaliable in the higher % categories. Essentially you're bathing your body in a toxin, that the body has to rapidly work to metabolise, and the effects are punitive in nature.
