Grow up bro.

>>4257861

Oh god how horrifying.

I am not a drunk. I just enjoy a few beers on the weekend. Don't touch the hard stuff too frequently, and when I do it's only a glass of whisky or a gin and tonic.

stay mad

>>4257885
yeah.
notice it comes in a gasoline container

>>4257889
Not mad at all. But I am enjoying a single beer right now and not using a cooking forum on 4chan as an emotional outlet for my "bawww problem".

Learn to drink like a normal adult, kid.

I don't drink, feels pretty good

>>4257897
Sorry. You sounded a little mad buddy.

Not a bawww problem at all.

>mfw you are drinking right now and I am not

>>4257904
>an alcoholic calling me mad
lol'd

Again, grow up. Did you pick up your little habit as an undergrad who couldn't control himself, or did you skip university to work and drink?

Either way, loser material.

I really only drink to add to my culinary knowledge (what goes with what foods.)

Unless gin's involved. Gin-and-tonics or dirty martinis, as I've found out last night, are entirely too drinkable.

Going for the bonus points: also 23.

>>4257917
Again, sorry if you're not actually 'mad'. The fact that you are continuing this makes it seem like you are...or just bored or something.

We're posting on 4chan, we're all losers in my book.

>>4257921
Gin and tonics I enjoy, not so much for dirty martinis. I don't enjoy the taste of brine.

I enjoy the culinary aspect of using beer or a splash of liquor in marinades or pan frying myself, as well as the obvious 'what pairs with what' discussion.

>>4257932
Yeah, I've known people who love 'em and who hate 'em. I personally love olives/brine, and having a regular martini wasn't really my thing. Of course, maybe he was using crap vermouth. I dunno... yesterday was my first martini experience.

I also like trying out different beers and adding them to my dishes (just used a darker beer in a chili recipe I'm developing... so cash.) It pisses me off when other people are just like, "Honey, you're supposed to drink it. You're wasting it."

>>4257947
>you're supposed to drink it, you're wasting it

pay em now mind

probably know fuck all about cooking anyways

what beer did you put in the chilli?

>>4257953
>no mind

typo

>>4257953
Shiner Bohemian Black Lager. I tasted it, figured it would go well with the blend of dried chilies I picked out (including this smoked chili) and chili meat. So right.

>>4257974
well done anon

>>4257993
Danke! I hope to perfect my recipe and submit it to whatever competition comes up this year. I had actually made it for a contest about a month ago, but the judging time was 30 minutes earlier than the time listed on the paper.
Last time I try entering a contest at a bar... not that I'm bitter or anything.

>>4258010
oh shit really? A chili cook off? What was the prize?

Show up earlier this time, have a beer, and guard your chili and its secrets with jealous fury.

How can people be alcoholics? I mean assuming you haven't had traumatic lives I don't understand how you can't just drink moderately like a normal person.

>>4258016
Honestly, I don't even know. My friend kinda submitted me, like, five days beforehand. I really just wanted some glory, even if it was only a little.

Believe me, while I kinda hint at what my chili might contain, exactly what I use is unknown to anyone. Even to the friend that submitted my name.

>>4258031
Dunno

It's different for everyone. Some people get physically addicted just like a drug, I'd imagine.

For me getting drunk can be a form of psychological escapism, not from some traumatic event, but just from everyday life.

Other times it's just fun to drink with friends.

Everybody's different.

>>4258035
Dude...you could have had it all. You stood to win everything.

maybe this year is your year

>>4258049
I know, right?!? I still wonder what it would've been like if we had called further ahead of time and made it. I could've been a CHAMPION.

Ah well... it's Texas. There's bound to be one in the next few months.

>>4258031

i think i have more fun drinking than the average person. i'll seriously start drinking on a friday morning, drink all day and all night, wake up the next morning drunk and just continue like that until sunday night. everything is more fun for me when i'm drunk

Anybody want to dump the alcohol charts? Specifically the tequila one.

I bought a new tequila and bourbon last weekend and while I love the bourbon but I'm not normally a tequila person, so I just went with the liquor store guys recommendation. I'm curious if it's also on the chart.

I think also adding a do not buy tier would be a smart move as well. I made the mistake of buying Jim Beam once back when I got into drinking bourbon. I still regret it.

>>4258143
I hate being hungover too much to do that anymore.

I used to like smoking weed excessively, but not being in my sober mind for too long is depressing to me now.

I'm a 'mind over matter' alcoholic.
I always want a drink
I always need a drink
I make my own drink
but I usually refuse myself the drink.

Withdrawel seems to cause me to get drunk in a glass or two now, where as before it would take me a lot more.

>mfw my roommate is 20 and drinks a liter of rum per day

>>4257860

Nope, am a bartender though. Like any dealer, I don't parttake of my own posion. Thanks for the livelyhood though.

>>4258303
>implying drunks on 4chan go to bars

The last two years were pretty heavy for me. Few bottles of vodka and whiskey every week. It wasn't inhibiting my weight loss because I'd compensate by not eating, but I realized that was even more destructive. I've cut it down to once every couple of weeks. I miss it like crazy, though. I know that addicition is teetering right on the edge. One crisis and it'll all come tumbling down.

>>4258320
Get out of my head anon ;_;
>gonna go to the bar tonight
>imagine myself sitting alone at a table eating onion rings and drinking mass produced craft beer
>laughing_drunks.jpg
>stay home and do nothing instead

>>4258399
I don't know that particular feel

but I know that staying home feel.

Twenty-seven in a few months. I got the worst of my drinking done prior to legal age. Some good times, some bad times. Toward the end of high school I'd developed an affinity for wine and whiskey. To deter from excess consumption and spending I don't buy often but I'm not concerned with overspending for something like a single malt.

>>4257921
>>4257947
I can't into gin like I do whiskey. Especially gin and tonics. But Bombay Sapphire has grown on me and I do like to throw an extra olive in my dry martinis. They're definitely drinkable! Manhattans too if you've a taste for whiskey. Good on you for cooking with brew, too. Not enough people do it and it's a shame when it can work well for chilli, barbecue, seafood, baking, cheese dips/spreads and so much more.

>>4258016
A former friend of mine who I'm rather certain has suffered less than myself (and I've never had it that bad) developed a terribly addictive personality somewhere along the way. I can't explain or understand the mindset myself but it feels like a slap in the face every time they wanna dump half your $60 bottle of tequila you just purchased into a jug of orange juice just for themselves, smoke up your pot you shared and then demand you smoke more - complaining they want to be higher and so on.

>>4258143
I've only do stuff like this anymore on vacations with friends and it is still fun. Last time was in Ocean City, MD just before the spring season (still too cold to swim and such). We'd bar crawl and act a fool all night, wake up the next morning and if I had a hangover I'd get a light meal and a big bloody mary and my game-face would be back on. Wish I could remember the name of the one restaurant; they served a Crab Imperial Cheeseburger that was probably the best I've ever tasted whilst drunk.

>>4258320
B-but I do. Just one local spot though. Chinese restaurant / bar. Usually empty but has a handful of regulars. I'm friends with the owners and they're real good people.

Well, not really, i don't drink alcohol that much.
Except at the cocktail-and mixed drink-courses in our vocational institute.
I drank a Mai Tai, Ramos fizz, tom collins, blue lagoon and four other self-made drinks before teacher said i should stop.
It was a really fun bus trip to the home.

I'm a shut in with depression and anorexia issues, so I obviously drink a lot. Half a vodka bottle every night when I feel sad, which is... pretty often. About 5 or 6 days a week.

I'm 19, by the way.

I drink until I pass out several times per week. I lost my wife and child in a tragic incident a few years back. It destroyed my life. I'm 42. I'm currently in AA. It does no good.

>>4258572
>anorexic
>drinks a ton of empty calories every night
either you're lying or fucking stupid

>>4258578
agreed. I barely eat anything but I drink a lot. I'm fat as fuck. I even exercise.

Alcoholism on my /ck/? Grow up, you juvenile faggots and learn to drink proper.

>>4258581
Translation: Alcohol is scary to me.

24, had a pretty bad drinking problem about a year 1/2 ago. I'd get trashed, wake up still drunk, go to work, go home, repeat. Everyday. Sounds kind of silly, but I put on a bunch of weight, and my wake-up call was my pants not fitting me anymore.

It's actually thanks to /ck/ and /fit/ that I quit all that and started taking care of myself. Quit other drugs as well. Now I actually eat better than before I even started drinking.

>>4258579
You're fat as fuck because you're probably drinking +1,000 calories a session. Cut that shit out and you'll be golden.

Damn, and I allmost don't give a shit.

I wish there were a tv show about alcoholism and alcohol consumption in general. It would be a gold mine for character development.

29 y/o, male, drunk

>>4258731
Well I immediately got my occupational license and an interlock device which won't start my car if I blow above a .020. It was hard at first not drinking after work, because I knew I'd probably go to far and then I wouldn't be able to get to work the next day.

When I was unemployed I drank nonstop. As in getting the shakes and having nightmares if I didn't drink for a night. Ah, those were the days.

35, drunk slav, it's fucking cold here, alcohol lets get through this. In summer I'll switch back to beer, for now various flavor vodkas.

Attaching my latest find. Tastes like sweet whisky.

beautiful vodka bro, first time i see it in that color

>>4258744
It's cheaper than cheapest whisky here, (though rather upper range for vodkas).

I have yet to find a golden-colored vodka that fails me.

Gorzka Żołądkowa (traditional, not the new inventions like mint or clear) - great tasting, somewhat (lightly) herbal but sweet. Not like throat-twisting Beherovka. A middle-shelf, traditional taste.

Hazelnut-flavored Soplica - whoa, more hazelnut taste than real hazelnuts! Not for serious, long drinking but good once in a while and the taste is really funny, *feel like drunk squirrel*, middle shelf.

Krupnik - Honey and grain, rye I think. You'd never think grain can give anything such a nice taste. Fields in summer. Upper shelf.

Miodówka - honey, plain. Nothing exquisite but way better than "clear". Middle-to-lower shelf.

Even cheap, bottom-shelf Balsam Pomorski. Tastes like a mix of Bison Grass and herbal like Gorzka. Quite palatable for something of that price.

No.
Unless you count one week of the year where you go to bed with ~15 in you, and what's for breakfast? Beer! (or in my case, lonka)

24 yr old
I drink when I have money and my stomach can handle it (IBS is a bitch)

Why do you drink a lot? Be honest, it's because you think it makes you complex and edgy isn't it.

>>4258853
Assholes like you that use words like "edgy" and "complex" drive my drinking.
Honest.

>>4258855
I'm right though.

>>4258853
Because it tastes good, and I enjoy the feeling of being drunk. I just can't stop once I get going. Not everyone on 4chan thinks they're fucking Hunter S. Thompson, buddy.

>>4258853
Because it makes me forget about my past, and makes me not worry about my future.

>>4258853
The slav here.
I'm drinking because it's all empty calories that get all converted to body heat and let me stay warm, numbs to cold, and helps with mood in depressive weather.

If I tried to be "edgy" and "complex" I'd be smoking weed.

>>4258870
Are you me?

>>4258870
Come on now. You don't have to forget your past. Never apologize for who you are. Drinking should be fun.

>>4258853
I go through a lot of stress daily since I take cause of my low-end spectrum autistic brother, and more than half loony blind grandmother, while looking for work in a small town where all the places are mom and pop shops where you need to be related or a family friend.

Honestly its more out of habit at this point, it doesnt even numb the pain anymore.

>>4258480
>Chinese restaurant/bar

Were you?

>>4259378
I'm sure you weren't raped, you deviant slut. Just like every other attention seeking nobody.

>>4259385
Why do you wish to emotionally hurt me?

I want to like men, but most of them are like you..

>>4259402
Because I was raped by a trusted female figure

robots can't deal with emotions.
I thought cooks are more effeminate, so you could help me with my emotions more.
Turns out there is autism here too.

>>4259440
Your post is flawed.
You avatarfag on /r9k/, okay, but keep it that way.
Cooks are not more effeminate at all. It's a high-stress job so there's little time for wishy-washy crybaby stuff in the middle of nowhere.
Your posts have nothing to do with cooking, and you admitted you came here cause you thought people would be "more effeminate" and to "help you with your emotions".
You should see a psychiatrist instead.
Also, disagreeing with you and telling you to stay on topic is NOT autism.
