    I’ll ask him.

    I will also say that, purely from a dopamine standpoint I can see the value. The endorphine dump from super spicy food, or cold showers, or from skydiving, or adrenaline seeking activities kinda has its own reward. It also comes with less liver damage or legal ramifications than other highs.

    As I’m cutting down alcohol I’ve dabbled with super hot foods from time to time :).

      Interesting. I guess if you’re a person who needs those hits of endorphins/dopamine/adrenaline/what have you, it seems like a good outlet. 😁

      As for me, I like it more zen, you could say.😌🧘‍♂️

      Sports, exercise, and video games give me enough highs, I think.

        I needed fewer jolts, so to speak, before kids. My time and my available vices are slowly leaking away, so we get creative!
