Nihilism

Are Nihilists more prone to alcoholism/drug addiction? I feel like Nihilism kinda takes away all the roadblocks that lie in between myself and excess.Maybe alcoholics are prone to Nihilism and not the other way round. Who knows?

I thought that life was meaningless but it turned out only alcoholic life was meaningless Owen.
Are you still drinking?

No, I don't think nihilists are more prone to alcoholism Owen.

Nihilism is a philosophical concept not a health condition.

Hope you are not drinking, maybe just being whimsical?

I don’t think so. I think nihilists are just as varied in their approach to life as non-nihilistic people. I can see your way of thinking, but I don’t think the prevalence would be greater amongst alcoholics.
