I'm not a fan of cider, in general. But unlike Peterson I can trick myself into thinking it's applejuice.

No, albeit there are hadiths which state that one is in an intoxicated state worthy of the 40 flogging treatment when one cannot tell man from woman. evidently a problem some users
on this forum suffer from sober.

According to that hadith, I've never merrited 40 lashes, but then again, I've usually passed out before mistaking someones gender or sex. A useful skill. It might also be that when I was drinking, I prefered to drink alone.

luke told me that when he met you you were afraid to drink a single pint because you thought you would die.

This is called toxic masculinity.

Didn't Jordan Peterson end up hospitalized with a benzo addiction as a result of a sort of psychic tailspin that (according to him) began with the consumption of one pint of cider?

It was Old Rosie - lethal stuff.

Was there not some Iman who argued that the ban is not on alcohol itself merely on being intoxicated, so drinking but not actually being drunk is fine?
I know some Muslims who are monsters for all other drugs but teetotal cos the other substances are not specifically mentioned.

Well there is such a thing as obeying the letter but not the spirit of the law, isn't there?

I'm pretty sure they had wine in 6th century Arabia. And distillation was discovered by Muslim alchemists, although it was probably us degenerate Europeans who first thought of consuming the product.
