I'm drinking right now too! Cheers!

I'm killing myself with alcohol because I tragically lost my wife and two daughters. One was 3 years old, the other was an infant.

So this is the future of all gastronomes? Shit, i'm on my first semester of culinary arts and i'm already worried about my drinking habits.

11th day sober,had my first dream that I caved and had a drink. Fucked up my sleep, but still feeling good. Hang in there my /alck/bros, it can get better when you are ready.

>>6372343
>implying it needs to get better
only if you're a rager, us functional alcoholics are fine the way we are

live in feg wanna be dry state
gotta be at work in 3 hours
on my last beer
thank jesus i have stashed liquor at work

>>6372343
Day 36 sober...still trying to escape the inevitability that I'll be hitting up the package store for a fifth at some point in the future. I feel great though.

Your own children being ripped away from your life is hilarious.

no morning drinking, dude. that's a sure road to ruin.

for me it turns out eating chocolate cake at 230AM and OJ at 6AM wasn't the best choice before I brushed my teeth


I do feel nice and clean now

>full purge

>>6372279
How often do you have drink to be an alcoholic? Because I can easily see myself going through a bottle of scotch a fortnight "because".

>>6372353

good for you bro. I stated detoxing Sunday

>no sleep
>waking dreams
>shakes
>BO smells like death

should be basically OK today Hoping to spend the week dry(ish)

Can all of you useless alcoholics please leave /ck/? You are the plague of this board.

>>6372477

You need to calm down and have a few drinks bro, you seem really stressed out.

>>6372480

Nah, I can deal with my problems in a way other than drinking myself to death. I'm not a weak-willed faggot.

>>6372279

I lost my bank card, usually on 10cl - 1 l vodka per day... Shits going to be rough. See my psychiatrist today so going to try and blag some alprazolam, to take the edge off.

>>6372507

You'd be stupid to assume I haven't. I've had plenty of hardships throughout my life. I'm not going to rattle them off for you because I'm not a faggot who needs to prove shit on 4chan.

If you can't admit you're a weak piece of shit then you'll never get better. Have fun with your depressing ass waste of life.

>>6372507

Good job on rationalizing your alcoholism LOL

>>6372515
I lost my wife and two daughters in the most tragic occurrence. I should have pulled the trigger long ago. But yes, you are correct. I'm weak. I continue to suffer their loss.

>>6372521

I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that isn't significant, but if you can't help yourself then go find some help.

>>6372515

I don't drink, and have never read these alcoholic threads but saw this post on the front page and just wanna say that I don't think being so rude suits you very well, man

if you've overcome hardship without falling into alcoholism or whatever other negative stuff, then that's a good accomplishment and I'm glad you were able to get through whatever it was or has been. you don't need to shit on people who haven't coped as well as you. it doesn't make you sound strong when you do that, and if you're as strong willed as you've gone out of your way to describe then you shouldn't have to resort to insulting people weaker than you

>>6372545

That's a great post. I'm going to completely disregard it.

>>6372530
Seeking help is easier said than done. I sought help through the VA. They told me I didn't qualify for their services. I tried the private sector. I had to donate money beforehand.

We're on our own.

>>6372574

>barely sought help
>WE'RE ON OUR OWN!!

>>6372574

you have to be in the army to use the VA

>>6372590
Give me some better ideas then, professor

>>6372598

No. You barely sought help which shows me you don't even want to get better in the first place. This just shows the mentality that you have. You hit up two places for some help and give up instead of looking for the hundreds of other services. You don't want to get better, I'm not helping you. Have fun with your premature death and pathetic life.

>>6372607
You lack the finesse of encouragement

>>6372279
>Thank God for tic tacs.

yeah that will work

I banked 10 years.

>>6372615

You can take what I said one of two ways. You can be offended by it and ignore it and act like a baby, or you can say to yourself hey you know what this guy is kind of right, maybe I should try harder.

You've got two fucking options: keep drinking or stop drinking. You either want to do one or the other so man the fuck up and decide.

>>6372454
>going through a bottle of scotch a fortnight "because".
that's nothing

when you start going through a bottle of scotch every NIGHT (and day and morning) then get back to me

>>6372631
Paths, I'd that you?

>>6372279
>Being able to get up
Yeah, nah

how much do you guys spend on booze daily?

a fifth of cheap whiskey is less than $7 if I drive to the state line like 20 mins away. otherwise i just go to the cheap liquor stores near me for a pint around $4.50

ideally i would be buying fifths every day, but i try to limit my intake

>>6372662
Costs at least £10 for a bottle of vodka here. Fucking shite being an alchie here.

Have any of tried switching to beer?

>>6372670
No, beer is shite. You drink to get drunk, cannae get drunk off beer.

>>6372672
I buy nice craft beers to chase whiskey with, because whiskey tastes like rotten hell

>>6372717
I prefer whisky. Do you do a lot of plebbing?

>>6372730
I just don't like sweet alchohols (unless it's Bailey's).

The bitterness of beer and the floral notes of gin are vastly superior.

>>6372717
>because whiskey tastes like rotten hell
damn i miss still being a teenager ;_;

>>6372737
>Sweetness of whisky
Are you special?

I love Gin as well though.

>>6372740
Like I said, whiskey is shit. Whisky is great.

>>6372761
>Are you special?
I am, but that's beside the point. Once you're used to the burn of alcohol, bourbon is much sweeter than most hard liquors.

I used to be a good guy. Now I'm a drunkard.

>>6372770
You still missing the point?

In any event, I am pished so lets have a laugh anyway.

>>6372670
Was always a beer man. 12 pack a night usually, and have relegated myself to High Life, because it's one of the few 30 rack macros that doesn't offend my tastebuds.

I don't know what the fuck happened

>>6372457
36 days here, I still get the occasional dream but they're not as bad as they were for the first three weeks. Finally sleeping for longer blocks. Night sweats are driving me nuts, I have to change shirts in the middle of the night. As for BO, try Old Spice 16 Hour Body Wash.

you could just get a new wife, and make more children. not the end of the world m8

anyone ever stop drinking for a while and then have a dream about getting really drunk and wake up with a phantom hangover

>>6373131
No.

How to tell you're a genuine alcoholic? You hallucinate, see and hear things that aren't there. You shake and quiver. You can't sleep for more than an hour or two despite how tired you are.

If you aren't suffering from that, be glad.

>>6373138

Oh no I was asking because that happened to me. I don't consider myself an alcoholic by any means, I just took a break from recreational drinking for a while and that happened.

>This thread

Christ, these threads have been full reasonable, productive discussion for ages despite being full of problem drinkers, and suddenly some none-drinkers come along an they're the ones arguing and shitposting. Move along or calm down, you're not impressing anyone here.

>>6373150
If you're over the age of 30, you don't know what a hangover is.

>>6373159
but hangovers get worse with age

>tfw home from college and have to hide drinking habits from parents

They used to notice when I basically cleared their liquor cabinet when i came home. Now I have to hide my own handle so they don't know I get wasted every night when they go to bed.

Sit in the car, out in the driveway. Listen to music and get fucked up.

who here has no problem seeming not drunk in work/school?
i dont think anyone can tell aside from if they smell it on me.

>>6373598
cigarettes are good alternative

Ketel = Like no smell.
But, whiskey still gives me a better drunk/tipsy.
What gives you best drunk?

Vodka doesn't really give it like Jack Danny.

>>6373738
the smell

>>6373741
holy fuck dude
i tke gum after i drink , i also have soda always...
and heavy perfume that lasts all day...
if anyone can smell im drunk they just have special nose senses.
and i dont act different from my normal self when drunk if i do it in class/work.

NO ONE CAN TELL unless they just can tell..then its not my fault...theyre just smart/nosy.
idc if they know...but im not gonna not try to prevent everyone else from detecting it.
not gonna sip alch in class thats just stupid

>>6372454

that's normal anon.

no one cares dude...those that know havent said or done shit about it because theyre borderline psychopaths no empathy. srsly no one gives a shit about my problems.

>>6373813
>srsly no one gives a shit about my problems.

sounds like a good reason to drink, as if you needed a reason

>>6373827
you suck at being a psychopath

I don't know how you do it. I can't drink liquor without something to wash it down with. Cola for whiskey or rum, anything for vodka, just something.
I can't take the terrible taste. Which is ironic because when I get home from my job that I hate but can't quit because I'm on contract, I just want to drink myself to the next day.
Fug...

>>6373763
It's not like I drink then go hang out with them.
It's usually in the evening before bed.

How can you tell if someone is an aclh without smelling it?

how can you stop peeing when drinking
what food to eat

>>6373925


you can smell it

someone chewing gum or eating mints, smelled the booze
I smoke like a chimney and I can smell the booze
Vodka? can smell it


in a zero tolerance place like a college campus, you're busted

Popped into Tesco and found a decent bottle of scotch. Getting pissed on the posh stuff tonight. Ten year old Jura. £25. Tenner more than I would have spent on 2 bottles of mediocre wine.

>>6373962
lold
you make it sound like us secret alchs are stupid as fuck
anyway what did you do when you noticed someone was alch?

>>6373980

I have asked students to leave my classroom and not drink before class

been in work situations where if you don't like somebody it's a good way to start to get them fired

>>6373952
You don't.
It's called "breaking the seal". Us in the medical field know it better as ADH or anti-diuretic hormone.
Once you stop, just just can't stop.

>>6373978
Hadn't had it before. It's certainly not a top Scotch but not all bad for that price. Certainly beats the other entry levels like Glenfiddich and Glenlivet. Not that i'd be getting pissed on anything much better, that would just be a waste.

>>6373980
When you get close enough you can smell it coming out of their pores. Just a hint, but it's there. I've fired people for it, unless they're really good at their job. Then you tell them if you smell it on them again they're fired. Once I cast a blind eye because the guy was the best at what he did. He didn't last though because he quite showing up.

>>6373962
>in a zero tolerance place like a college campus, you're busted
These days pretty much anywhere is going to me more or less zero tolerance unless you've just come back from a Christmas lunch or something and you're still expected to not be drunk. Maybe if you work in a garage as a mechanic or something but pretty much any office job you'd be sent home with a final warning or fired.

Don't get the people who go into work stinking and still drunk. If I get that drunk i'm not waking up until 11am. But then I only get wasted at the weekend because i'm not a massive degenerate.

>>6373813
Holy fuck you're awful, and I thought I was bad.

ive been sober for a while now and would like a beer but I cant have one.

>>6373994
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING sorry capslock
please restate it

>>6374009
i wonder if alchs tend to b flaky/lazy
omg what if youre just smelling their dirty clothes or they liv with an alch and the smell goes on them?

dont be so harsh but thanks for recognizing good workers...alch doesnt have to get in the way

why am i awful?

The such a cold and robotic view of the logistics behind human relationships.

You make it seem as though he's replacing a car or his favorite shirt. Sure, he can meet someone else and start a new family but can you possibly imagine what it would be like to have your foundation ripped from beneath your feet? Falling in love with 3 people who you've created a world around and now they just don't exist. What's the allotted mourning period for such a thing? What's the standard amount of time it takes to get over something like that?

I'm sure there are people who can recover from such a thing and try to move on, but unfortunately, some people have a harder time coping with such things and telling them to just move on or suck it up, as if the thought never occurred to them, doesn't help.

>>6374062
No, you sweat it out. You smell like booze underneath the fabric softener, cologne, gum, and cigarette smoke. If you don't want to smell, quite drinking twelve hours before work and take a long hot shower before going in. If you drink before work you will get caught eventually. I used to drink heavily, and still do on occasion, so I can knock it off pretty well.

>>6374083
youre good at hiding the smell?

so if i drink at work i should brng a paper towel wet it then wash my whole entire body...i drink through the pain of work

>>6374066
>The such a cold and robotic view of the logistics behind human relationships.
Because life is cold and robotic, anyone who implies otherwise are letting themselves be guided by emotions rather than rationality.

>What's the standard amount of time it takes to get over something like that?
Doesn't matter. Everything in life is relative, you either get over it or you don't. Even then there are no absolutes, only shades of grey. But he is using the loss of family as a condition for his alcoholism. I don't blame it, I don't judge it, but I do question the point of using it to convince or otherwise connect with anonymous people on the internet. The most animalistic trait in humans is finding worth, meaning and approval in the subjectivity of other people.
My point is that it really means nothing to anyone other than himself. Only he has power over it, and he decides how it influences his life.

>>6374103
No, I'm saying you can't hide the smell, so either quite drinking long enough before work that it's out of your system, then take a long hot shower, or get caught eventually. For the record I never drank during working hours. I went in still drunk many a time though.

>>6374109
Life is FAR from cold and robotic. Even animals mourn the loss of loved ones. From an objective standpoint, sure that's how things work, but people are emotional entities. We don't operate solely off rationality and life would be quite bland if we did it. It's emotion that inspires us to do anything outside of eating working and dying. You can't escape emotion if you're a living, breathing creature, unless you're autistic or a psychopath.

You're also assuming the functionality of his brain is solely up to him, which doesn't even make sense logically. His ability to cope or overcome certain tragic experiences depends on his biology, past experiences and current circumstances. Making a decision is more than just "wanting to do it." There's a reason why he's choosing alcoholism to cope and why it seems more appealing than other options currently available to him. Telling him to just move on isn't even advice, it's stating the obvious.

>>6374212
>There's a reason why he's choosing alcoholism to cope and why it seems more appealing than other options currently available to him. Telling him to just move on isn't even advice, it's stating the obvious.
Alright, so you're a determinist. Then there's no point in having this conversation.

>>6374222
There is no point to anything but there's a reason for everything.

>>6374031
i people cared....we wouldnt need to drink..

>>6374226
Which ties into life being cold and robotic.
If you are someone other than the person I was originally replying to, say so, otherwise you've done nothing other than discrediting your own stand.

>>6374234
Objectively, life is cold and robotic, people aren't.

I've discredited nothing other than your reading comprehension ability.

>>6374243
Objectively? I don't think you quite understand that term since the very next thing you said is quite counter-intuitive.
Life is robotic, it is cold, those are the foundations our feelings and emotions are based upon. That also implies that our feelings are cold and robotic. What sort of worth you personally and subjectively apply to emotions and feelings don't make them any less systemic and uncaring.
I'm not really sure what you actually are arguing for, please define the point of conversation.

>>6373771
The heavy perfume itself is a dead giveaway, imo. I had a few teachers who were clearly raging alcoholics and the female ones always wore crazy strong perfume.

>>6374257
You're telling the guy he can just get a new wife and kids as if that's all there is to it. It's infinitely more nuanced than that. You're disregarding the emotional aspect entirely.

When I tell people about the absolute horrific things that happened in my life, driving me to drink, the only thing that happens is me getting all messed up and teary eyed.

I'd rather find a way to forget about the loss of my children than deal with it. I don't care if that's considered weak. It works.

>>6374266
I'm >>6374212

I'm not judging, man. I don't really care how anyone lives their life, as long as they aren't hurting or taking away from others, which is often unavoidable.

I'm sorry about your wife and daughters, man. Can't imagine your pain. Does this shitty site help you cope in any way?

>>6374262
That was not me, I was simply replying to >>6374066
I don't really care much for the topic at hand, I simply wanted to argue that his/her understanding of life as being empathic is quite wrong.
Personally I am anti-natalist, the last thing I would argue for is him having more kids.

>>6372662
In the last 72 days I have spent an average of $15.71 a day on alcohol.

I can't drive so I have to walk 20 minutes to the closest liquor store then 20 minutes back. When someone I know is going to the supermarket I tag along and buy beer.

>>6374287
Does it help? Yes. As long as we're not talking about my loss. heh...

I should have never mentioned it but I was pretty lit at the time. Very drunk. I've since passed out and woken up. And now I regret saying anything.

>>6374298
You are dedicated and motivated. I like your wherewithal.

>>6374336
With all the whats where?

>>6374334
At least your reason to drink is more substantiated. I drink because I'm jaded by life and I'm literally just doing shit until I die.

I usually come to the chans to shitpost and troll. This is one of the very few times I've ever replied seriously to anyone on this site.

>>6372816
>not realising he's too drunk to type properly

>>6374346
you can play mabinogi its like a second life. it takes ur mind off ur shitty life.

>>6374346

I've done similar anon.

look at the bright side, you can walk away, clear your cookies and it's like you were never here. no one can ever pin it on you or make you talk about it ever again.

that is why anonynous is beautiful

>>6374352
omg i do that all the time lmao
but even irl i suck at talking to people. i have no friends. but all iw ant is a friend or bf. but because i suck at communicating like a normal person trying to socialize i just dtink...lifes less boring that way

i see these peole in class they have friends they talk to eachother during class. i bet they go party with friends,talk to opposite sex whenever they want to, and just enjoy socializing...
im like i want that.

>>6374334
Regret nothing, learn from your mistakes.
I wouldn't call him a friend, but I have an aquaintance who lives a 3 hour train trip south of Moscow, in a small blue house next to a cool stream. The guy is in his sixties, he has a completely ruined hip from a gunshot, his wife is dead, and he loves alcohol. But the thing is, even though he does get awfully drunk every day, he always finds something positive to focus at. He makes toys for the children, helps people with various tasks, works on his farm.. The main thing is not to get dragged into a viscious cycle of negativity, there is always something good to look forward too, even when drunk or homeless.
You might have lost something close to you, but you should use that experience to help other people and in so doing improve your own life, instead of wasting away by yourself.

>>6374353

I can't wait to move out. I'm checking out an apartment tomorrow and I'm hoping to move out in the next month. All I can do now though is drink all her whiskey.

still waiting to drink after 5pm.

glad i'm not an alch yet.

I wonder if I can find decent minded people like you at AA meetings (I've never been to one).

If I don't stop drinking, it'll kill me.

Substantial investigations into life and the worth of life are misguided, simply because they will only lead to suffering. Being ignorant and happy is far more fullfiling than being aware and depressed.
If you are trapped in a cycle of cynicism you should do your outmost to escape.

>>6374373
Most people are idiots, no matter where you turn. Either decide to drop down to their low or find someone/something else. Trying is not a bad idea, but do not excpect too much.

yeah idk if gta 5 has like...you can do pretty much any cool career in mabinogi as well as look like a sexy anime chick you get married to others...
plus its free.
but maybe to each his own game...i always come back to mabiogi even when it wears thin

I go through about $7.50 or more of sherry per day, but booze is expensive in Canada.

I was terrified when I cut back by the insomnia. I have never had a problem sleeping all of my life, but I would lie awake for almost the entire night, wishing I was able to black-out. It isn't as bad now, thankfully, but I still spend my days in a bit of a haze until the first drink. At least I'm not morning drinking anymore, and my job is shit-easy warehouse work until I get this shit under control. Cutting back is hard.

>>6374610
hard is good.

>>6373856
I know that feel, anon. I'm not on contract, but I'm working a shitty ass job to pay the bills until I find literally anything else. It'll be okay, it won't be forever.

>>6374051
Once you go pee after drinking, you're going to be peeing a lot for the entire day/night. Just try and not go, or get so used to having to go your body adjusts. I find if I pee early into an evening of drinking I pee way more often than if I pee before I start, then hold it until before bed.

guys can i share something

i realized
some people are just mean, blind,selfish, self serving and take but dont want to give.
and its not my problem
i used to get worked up if i felt i was promised something like love but they never followed through...they just took because i dont know how to stop giving...
i thought something is horribly wrogn with my and my life...but really its them...and it snot my problem that they exist...


and good things...like love...comes to those who wait.
it doesnt walk up to you, talking sweet.
its there for a long time before it sweet talks you.

its not my fault hes blind

im not a helper dog
im not gonna worry about you like your momma neither

>>6373952
First, don't drink beer. Stick to spirits with something or drinking it straight. I find whenever I drink beer or wine I will wake up during the night to pee. But with drinking spirits, no problem. Just pee before you go to bed.

>spirits with something or drinking it straight
is that vodka/whiskey/cognac?

so they key is to pee before you drink.

btw i was talking about drinking spirits

Haven't had a drink in...4 days. gonna drink tomorrow as a reward for almost making it a week. Also it just so happens I get paid tomorrow.

>>6374640
Well what do you drink? Beer and wine? If so, you will drink a lot to get wasted, therefore pee a lot.

>>6374626
Do you wake up in the night to pee?

>>6374650
i dont have time to sip wine during the school day although i'd prefer it. it's easier to gulp.
but i drink anything hard

>>6374657
priorities:
getting plastered > paying attention in class

I sip a mixed drink of everclear in an opaque plastic bottle at work. Has ice cubes and everything.

I think one coworker is catching on due to the fact that I chew a lot of gum.

>>6374650
I don't usually, but depending on volume I sometimes do. I tend to drink wine-based sherry, though. If I've had a night with champagne or wine I definitely wake up, though I don't always remember it. I'm a bit of a sleep-walker, though.

>>6374663
>everclear
are you trying to burn a hole in your tummy bud?

>>6373183
>get drunk in a car!

Great idea, dipshit.

>>6374362

Just got a DUI arrest, finding it hard to keep my head up despite being relatively sober since I kicked my fith-a-day habit. Advice? I'm not concerned about the fee's and classes so much as job prospects and (deserved) social stigma.

i need ideas on mixing sodas/juices with spirits

>>6374671
If the keys aren't in the ignition, you're fine.

So yeah, bring your myPod to play music and leave the keys in your pocket and the keys by the front door.

>>6374686
Why are you mixing it? All that soda is bad for you.

Mix it with water and ice if you have to.

>>6374673
It sounds stupid, but honestly just keep it one day at a time. Things may or may not be shit for a time, but as long as you are sober that day, it is an accomplishment. Find a hobby, something to do instead of drinking, yet doesn't replace drinking in a chemical dependance kind of way. You can do it, I believe in you.

>>6374692
where do i get ice...i guess i could go to the corner store every day and pick up a straw/cup and slip my drink in it...that would look hella sus
youre right soda is bad.
but the thing is it takes away the alch breath (hopefully)
does water equalize the harmfulness of all that alchol?

My friend is getting a divorce. His wife was cheating on him with our mutual friend and he kicked her out. Now he's drinking every day and I'll come over and sympathy drink with him. She's got my back though, she blamed it on that mutual friend and not on me, because really it was me banging her. We mostly drink spiced rum and he's getting kind of gay actually, he held my hand the last time we were fapping to porn together.

>>6374686
Screwdrivers, Tom Collins, Mamie Taylor, Moscow Mule, Gin Back, French 75, Scotch Fizz, Whiskey Mule, Rum and Coke, Fizzy Ciclon and White Russian with lots of cream or milk.

These are the ones that have a tick beside it in my notebook. Note: I'm not a seasoned drinker, I haven't tried everything and I've probably missed a lot of things.

Just look up on the internet things you have and there might be a drink you could make. Try that, see if you like it or not, then move onto the next thing. That's what I've done.

>>6374701
Oh hiding alcohol breath? Not sure. I thought you were just drinking at home and wanted to dilute the alcohol taste.

But good luck with this, I've never had to deal with this

>>6374703

>>6374715
yes

>>6374705
>Just look up on the internet things you have and there might be a drink you could make
this.

vodka and oj sounds feasible...bet no one could tell!

Starting a course of antabuse tomorrow, wish me luck lads!

Even I don't think I'm stupid enough to drink on this shit.

Went out for dinner with a friend tonight and only had one beer. The urge was so strong to keep going once I got home, but I'm holding strong. This "moderation" thing sure is difficult

>>6374669
It takes the least amount to get buzzed from.

>>6374729
why would anyone want to abuse an ant?

>>6374741
Because it's no fun to over pay for a drink and not even get its intended effects. Moderation shouldn't be paying like $15 to not get tipsy. Fuck that.

>>6374753
I'm starting to enjoy beer just for the taste, but ya it's still hard to have a few, especially with the calories, and not even feel a buz

>>6374642
lol fucking retard

>>6374748
how much is that mate

>>6374692
>Soda is bad for
>Keep being an alcoholic though :)
Fuck alcoholics, pretty much always terrible people that have never learned to take responsibility for their actions.

>>6374799
not the guy you replied to, but whatever man. If rewarding yourself for not drinking with drinking is what keeps you from being hammered every day, I'd say go for it. Way better than all the people here drinking at work

>>6374810
what if i drink at school?
what jobs do they have?

>>6374804
youre an asshole. fuck you.

>>6374816
Drinking any other time than when you're relaxing/partying etc. is a sure sign of alcoholism.

>>6374821
i wanna relax at school

>>6374741
I've always drunk alone at home. The few times I've gone out I always get water because I'm scared someone will see me with a beer and think I'm an alcoholic. Which I probably am, but I'm a happy alkie!

>>6374694

Thanks man, this is why I visit these threads. Sober since the drunk tank, so I just gotta keep it up for now.

I have no vodka or gin. All I have is a lot of beer but I don't want to walk to the liquor store. I want to be drunk faster~

>>6374862

Quit. Quit. Quit now. Quit.

>>6374862
break out the funnel nigga

who went hungry first, epi

>>6374876
Why?

>>6374830

Your not at school to relax, your there to learn. Drink after you finish all your labs and shit.

>>6374929
nah, i go to school to be funny and hit on guys

learning is a side effect

>>6374938

The long term consequences of this will be worse than alcoholism.

>>6372300
I know it seems bad but just be your ancestors were

I have a bottle of $10 riesling that smells like piss and taste like nothing. A really bad type of nothing. Should I just drink it all or just pour it down the sink?

>>6374987

Its probably gone bad. Knowing that, would you still drink it to get drunk?

>>6374987
don't drink it

prob went bad

>>6374987
Mix it with ice and a half pint of vodka and some ginger ale, slam the pitcher

I tried making another family. But women seem to be psychotic. I treated her well but she just freaked out at the drop of a hat. Fucking strange.

I called this boy my son for a year. He's holding my cheese certificate from 3rd Batt.

Had 2 dirt wolf's and a cup of moonshine.

I hope I don't go blind

>>6375141
Love that moonshine!

>>6375143

I don't. First time I had it I was taking shots with friends. The next day I couldn't sleep until 6am. Every time I closed my eyes I saw what I had just seen on television play out in some sort of weird eyelid theater, almost like my brain was the projector.

if the dude lost his entire family in one shot, that's probably a hardship you haven't endured

at least my war buddies only died a few at a time, at most. and they were just war buddies, not family

I like to get drunk on this shit here. It's almost always sold out because it's cheap, strong, and tastes pretty damn good.

>>6375244
Fellow Dutchie here, never tried that as I mainly drink vodka.

>>6375293
Vodka is really expensive here. In America you could buy a lot of cheap vodka with as little as $5.

Which brand do you drink? How much?

>>6374850
You're welcome, and it'll be okay. We're here for you.

is it normal to get a sharp burning feeling in my chest when i drink pic related without anything in my stomach?

never used to happen but now i have to eat something otherwise it feels like im being stabbed in the chest with a hot knife for 4 hours.

>>6375626
You have a stomach ulcer.

When I drink, I become violent. I was jailed once when I soaked myself in Tequila. I walked down my street and shot up the place with my .45

The cops beat me up pretty hard. None of my neighbors were harmed. The police broke many bones in my hand. I also endured cracked ribs.

>>6372515

You guys should be more like this person.

how do i not become a alcoholic?

Don't drink alcohol?

lost my weed dealer so now i'm back to alcy. fuck alcohol, it's so shit compared to weed. I hate all of you guys too, so fucking depressing.

Why don't you just buy a bigger bottle?

Because you're lying, that's why. And you're probably underaged.

I live next to a 7 11... they only sell half pints

>>6377982
hang in there bro, it gets better 8^)

Jesus, you guys still here? Ptheticols.

Here's a stupid ass question for all of you...

I normally have a 750 ml bottle of wine a night, along with 5-6 beers. This isn't every single night, but usually 5 nights a week.

Had some chest pains the other day, and I should mention I've been diagnosed with anxiety. Is that what's causing it, or is organ failure a possibility?

>>6377427
Thanks anon

>>6378035
dude gtfo.. I seriously have the same problem

>>6378035
and I also have anxiety... the chest pains come and go.. is it a sharp pain?... cause I've come to the conclusion that it is just acid/heartburn

>>6378035
Samefag again, wine has a shit ton of acid, especially white wine I wouldn't worry about it

>>6378040
>>6378042
>>6378046
Hey brother...the pain varies. I've had sharp ones. Good news is they usually only last 2-5 seconds, which I've read means nothing serious. I've also had some odd ones that feel like I'm getting punched right in the chest that make me lose my breath and get dizzy, but again, these last for only 5 seconds or so. My anxiety used to make me think heart attack, but I've done batteries of tests that say i'm fine on that front, and that cardiac pains last longer.

>tfw you want to lose weight but only because it means you can get shitfaced faster
honestly not sure how to feel about this

OP, those tic tacs don't do shit. You reek of alcohol like Indians reek of curry. I had to learn this the hard way.

>>6378140

>>6378140
>>6378146
shit i meant xxx mints sorry

ive noticed myself becoming more and more aggressive and it scares me. i used to be a happy drunk but now it seems to make it worse and i cant stop

What should I do if alcohol is the only way I can make meaningful connections?

Do tolerance breaks actually work? And if they do, really how long should it last on average?

My drink is straight whisky and it was kind of that way for a little bit. It got to the point where beer and mixed drinks did shit all.

>>6378075
Does weight really have a noticeable difference? It's mostly in the genes from what I can gather. I know some fit/skinny people who can drink liquor like water and some fatty-fats who can barely handle two cups of wine.

People will always tell you the same thing: do what makes you happy. So why aren't you doing what makes you happy, anon? Would you rather live a long life of abject boredom or a short like of time well wasted?

>Go to work, open my backpack and realize I've got 4-5 strong beers in there from some night I went out

I took a cooler full of beer with me on my small fishing boat. I knocked back about a dozen before I landed my first large mouthed bass.

When I drink, I get pretty horny. And all I can focus on is this bass's mouth gasping for air. I looked around. Nobody was on the water or near the shoreline. I pulled my dick out and started fucking that bass's slutty mouth. Just as I was about to nut, I looked up and saw a kid with binoculars looking right at me.

That's the most embarrassed I've ever been.

>>6378361
>People will always tell you the same thing: do what makes you happy. So why aren't you doing what makes you happy, anon?

Trust me, I have no problem with guys drinking if it still makes them happy, I've been down that road. After 13 years of drinking heavily though, my organs were feeling the pain and I finally reached the point where downing 750ml of rum just made me feel normal. On day 13 now, and very happy, just wish I could get rid of these dreams where I start drinking again and wake up in abject horror.

>>6378256
Both make a difference. The larger you are the more blood and body mass there is to dilute the alcohol. Fat in itself does not help, but if you were to drop significant amounts of muscle you'd notice a large difference in your tolerance.
The last 2-3 years I've dropped from 205 pounds to 155 as I stopped lifting weights, and I can only drink a fraction of what I used to.

>>6378229
You should learn to live with it as best you can. It doesn't matter much if you keep busy and enjoy yourself in your spare time.

>>6378393
hahaha what the fuck

>>6374009
This is outrageous. If I drank hard enough the previous night, I go to work sober with a hint of the smell coming out of my pores. You can't jump to conclusions like this. You just can't.

>>6377999
You source your drinking from just one store, and it's a store right next to where you live?

At least have enough self respect to be a secret alcoholic.

Aspiring alcoholic here. I'd like to be one but I just don't see the appeal.

The pleasant buzz quickly turns into a sickly feeling. I get a really shitty dehydrated feeling in my mouth and stomach too. And obviously the hangovers.

Would all of that shit go away if I got used to drinking more?

>>6379568
Yes. More water, that is.

Drink a few glasses of water before you even start. Remember to continue drinking water while you're binging. Drink a few more glasses before you pass out, and make sure you've got a large bottle filled with water on hand for when you wake up during the night.

>>6379548
A lot of places have a zero tolerance policy and you will get fired for smelling like booze. If you work a shit job people tend not to care. That's why I recommended taking a hot shower to sweat the last bit out. Any more booze in your system then that then you are still drunk and there for a liability.

>>6374673
Got a DUI myself a few months back. The worst part is all the alcohol counseling and AA meetings you'll have to go through.
It's bullshit but whatever. There's no way I can convince my counselor I want to stay sober.

I have a week off work with no plans. Just stocked up on booze. Think I'll drink right through until I go back to work.

>>6379626

How are your job prospects after the fact? It seems like I can do my classes online since it was "only" a misdemeanor, so I'm not terribly worried on that front. I'm just worried about my ability to get a half decent job. I'm only 22 for Christs sake.

/alc/ thread killd

Well, I finished that bottle of Riesling. It cost $10 on special and was only three or so months old but it was awful. I had never opened it apart from the night before.

It was the only alcohol inside last night and I drunk some as a night cap and it burned the back of my throat.

Anyway, I didn't have any vodka or ginger ale and last few days so I decided just to drink like a shot with a chaser. It was interesting. I just chugged a glass of wine and then had a mouth-fill of beer I like. But at least I finished the bottle! I was seriously considering pouring it down the sink.

>>6379927
