>4 beers
that's nothing

Soon it'll be a handle every two days

>>50473321
Those are rookie numbers

anytime you want to drink go outside and run.

>>50473321
start by not drinking during the week, allow yourself over the weekend, this will at least cut down on the excess calories and wrecked sleep mon-fri, then focus on not drinking on the weekends, i stopped cold turkey three years ago but i wasn't physically dependent, but i was mentally addicted to relaxing with 2 IPA's after work everyday for years, which made me fat, lost all the weight as soon as i stopped drinking

>>50473321
Quit your job holy shit. Wagecucking sucks just do something else even if it leaves you destitute you can't live like this.

>>50473354
this might feel impossible. a short walk is ok too.

the crypto market is turning me into an alcoholic..also 4 beers a night

>>50473332
It is for me. I used to drink maybe once a month tops. I was also super fit. I miss being NEET bros

>>50473340
thats what it takes to get me to start the day and go into the office.

Mmmh i want a beer now my besterds

>>50473321
i smoke about 10 joints a day, even more if im WFH
this was supposed to be the year that i get my life in order and stop. its july already...

>drinking alone
Careful, OP. Drinking alone is a huge problem.

>>50473321
AA

>>50474015
It works for many

>>50473321
I drink 10 steel reserve a night

>learn something else
>do something else
>profit
Or

>collect unemployment

>>50473321
>4 beers
that is barely a buzz

>>50473810
>Careful, OP. Drinking alone is a huge problem.

>>50473321
The bar for "alcoholic" is a lot lower than it used to be. In the past, having drinks with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus a few in between, was completely normal. Its not your fault you were born into a talmudic hellscape clownword, try not to be so hard on yourself.

>>50473371
This fuck that job. Drinking almost killed me. Fuck booze. It can shut down your organs and nerves dude.

>>50473321
That's my everyday intake and it has been for years, alcoholism never croser my mind.

>>50474391
This was me. Drank liquor basically from 2020 to a few months ago, almost ended up with pancreas cancer and started shitting blood constantly. Still hurts sometimes if eating heavy cream or other very fatty foods. Fuck drinking, it shuts down your organs.

>>50474378
good advice actually

>>50473321
you just stop. 4 beers isn't much but is also the pathway to 12 beers a night and before you know it hard alcohol and then liver failure. drinking fucks with your brain more than weed despite what people claim.

>>50473321
Take a vacation and clear your head bro

>>50473354
This

>>50474015
Rather be a functional alcoholic than full on schizo

>>50475018
all i do on vacations is count the days until i have to go back to the wage pen

>>50473321
Count the bottle caps.
Limit to as low as you can.
1 a day is 30 per month or 365 per year.
Your liver cant handle 30 per month.
Perhaps if you breathe clean air, drink clean mountain stream water and eat nectar out of magical fairy ass and you did it for one month and then got clean for 3 months.
365 per year will give you fatty liver and fuck up your pancreas and balance.

>>50473321
4 is a bit much but not full blown alcoholic. Honestly I'd just say slowly pare it back. Maybe 1 week only do 2 beers a day and then the next only on the weekend. No need to cut it off entirely.

eat healthy
work out regularly
sleep properly

Also just quit alcohol, that shit is terrible, just makes you fat and sick

Nigga I drink at LEAST 6 IPAs a night and all that's happened is I've gotten fat.

>>50473321
Lean into it. Pussy

>>50473321
I usually have 2-4 beers at lunch time, and then 4 when i got home.

>>50473321
no, you are turning yourself into an alcoholic.just start lifting brah and develop body dysmorphia to the point drinking alcohol induces anxiety and panic of losing your gains. Its literally that easy

Alcoholic here for 8 years
Changed alcohol for GHB/GBL. Never touch a beer ever again. Similar effect to alcohol + mdma and no hangover. So I can spend saturday night high as fuck at home and then go to the gym the next day, What a fucking miracle of a drug, (and yes, before you google search, its the drug rapist use because if you drink a few ml more you go full sleep)

>>50473321
Have never understood this... always been able to stay a Friday/Saturday binge drinker and completely sober the rest of the week

>>50474488
I had started shitting blood constantly, doctors ran all sorts of fucking tests and told me there wasn't anything wrong with me... put up with it for years... decided to try cutting gluten from my diet and three days later the blood stopped, haven't shit blood since.. celiac came back negative but that doesn't mean shit since I already cut gluten... either I developed celiac or a gluten intolerance in my mid 30's which is a total bitch

>>50475083
I prefer the schizo route. Functional alcoholism is for factory workers and day laborers

>>50475781

same, friday and saturday only drinker here, maybe a gin and tonic once during the week

HATE how these threads just become a bunch of teetotalers, preachers, and AA graduates whining about how just one beer can turn you into a raging alcoholic, or how a glass of red wine will guarantee you liver cancer.

It's called moderation and not having shit tier genetics

>>50473321
I started buying carbonated water. Sometimes I just need to smoke weed

>>50473321
don't work
>no wife?
>no house?
>no work, just gamble

>>50474378

The booze in the old times was super watered down compared to nowadays. It was more like 2-3%

>>50473340
Or every day.

>>50473364
>ipa's
is this bait?

>>50473354
...to the liquor store

>>50476198
Kek
>>50473321
Make the switch to seltzer. Beer has an insane amount of carbs, especially IPAs/dark ales. Selters are basically carbonated water with alcohol in it. All the buzz without the fat

Just don't drink retard

>>50473784
its never too late, I quit last week, 2 days ago, yesterday and today.

>>50473354
I sometimes jog when I'm drunk.
It feels great.

>>50473340
what in the FUCK is a handle? What a gay term, you're gay.

I drink 2 at work and then when I get home minimum another 4-6

alcoholics are so pathetic, I work a liqour store and I hate all of you. Same with lotto gamblers. No wonder this shits haram.

>>50481034
Drinking alcohol is a degenerate behaviour. Many younger generations now shun this degeneracy.

>>50473321
>4 beers a night
You think that's bad? Wait until you wake up in a hopsital after a car crash that you can't for the life of you remember, or stories from family members about some horrible shit you did while you were drunkenly sleep walking on your way to the restroom hours after you passed out. If that's not enough to stop you from turning into an alcohol nothing will be.

You faggots are useless.
Switch to diet sodas in the evenings OP. Your brain is craving sugar, so give it to it. Once the cravings subside you can stop drinking soda all together. But intill you get to that point you need something to get your brain off your ass. I just stopped drinking last week, stoped all weed too. Started lifting again. This sounds scitzo guys but I think a war is coming, like a no shit, civilization reaming war.

>>50475781
I've always been like this. Never drink more than once a week. I think it's because when I drink I binge and get bad hangovers which makes me not want to even think about alcohol for at least a week.
Also, I work out and daily alcohol would be a gains goblin.
The only drug I ever did everyday was weed, because it doesn't give much of a hangover and is not toxic to every cell of your body like alcohol is.

>>50473321
Neet and making it got me into cocaine. I'm on coke 24/7 now.

>>50481645
how did you make it? Help me out bro, I want to be a hooker and coke crazed former NEET who made it as well. It sounds like the most satisfying existence in human history.

>>50473321
have you tried not drinking 4 beers a night?

>>50481690
Lpbp

Seriously look up some easypeasy books. The porn one is free you can read it as an example. You just realize that the high you get from drinking is only relief from cravings. And those cravings are something you are doing to yourself, every time you drink you reinforce the craving.

So just decide it's stupid to do to yourself and don't do it. Approach it with a sense of joy that you won't be fucking yourself over anymore.

It doesn't take willpower anymore than not drinking bleach. If you find yourself relying on willpower to quit then it won't work. It has to be an easy decision you've made where you realize there's no benefits and there are a million other ways to feel cheerful or relaxed.

>>50473321
My boss said to another part of leadership he drinks a bottle of whiskey and keeps going all weekend. I thought he was joking so I started laughing, he just fucking cold stared me and they both just walked away after planning drinks on the weekend.

I thought binge drinking like a fuckwit was something teens do, when some fucking 40 Yr + person starts talking that way it's just fucked up. This guy has kids too, he was bitching how they were getting in the way of his drinking.

I love to drink but if I drink as little as once a week I end up ballooning into a fatty in just a few months. Not having young person metabolism sucks...

>>50480978
t zoomer

>>50474378
And before that serf and fucking Egyptian slaves drank booze all fucking day. It keeps you dumb and controlled.

>>50482069
>It keeps you dumb
Well maybe I enjoy being dumb

>>50475777
Tell me you're Dutch without telling me you're Dutch..

imagine blaming your alcoholism on your job. you just have no self control and are a loser by genetics. i love a drink but do so very infrequently. try getting your shit together you fucking loser unless u really want to see ur life go up in fire and flames u subhuman faggot

>>50482331
kek, im not but I get it legally from Netherlands yes.

>>50473321
Don't be self destructive, everyone is hurting right now. Take a walk, clear your mind and set small attainable goals. There's always a way fren!

>>50475246
>Your liver cant handle 30 per month.
kek. you serious? Shit, there's people that do 30 per day and still go on kicking for decades.
He definitely should cut down but fear mongering like that is retarded

>>50481645
Based af, now you only need girls and a huge disdain for others.

>>50473321

Ask yourself why you drink, what holes alcohol fills inside yourself, and why you can't be happy without.

>>50482034
You are a huge fag and your boss is a boss.

>>50474378
yeah and people died around 50yo from all kind of diseases. many such cases in my family from europe around 1850-1940

>>50473321
During quarantine I crawled up to a 12 pack every night. Gained like 40 lbs... holy shit that was an awful time. I recognized I was killing myself and simply quit cold turkey (a bad idea, but somehow worked out for me). Sorry I can't give better advice.

I got a real smoking problem during lockdown
now I only smoke herbal cigarettes so I am pretty proud of myself
4 beers is nothing dude, you can still quit

>>50473321
>4 beers
Fuck right off. I had a peak of ~3 litres of whiskey a day. Stop being retarded and go outside more often

>>50488529
kek fat americans needing 3L of whiskey because their body fat is so high

Buy weed and psilocybin and weed and psilocybin stocks

>>50488598
I'm 6'4, 210lbs and a eurofag. Try again

Lads, is 12 standard units a day too much to quit cold turkey on? I drink like 9 or so IPAs. Been waking up heart pounding anxious af lately around 5 am. Don’t like it.

After getting about six new anal implants, I had none removed and then got at least one new 6:00 anal nodule implants while being raped while someone was breaking into my car, last night, I assume.

I just like a couple cocktails at the end of the day, but I do love day drinking and popping adderal once a month. B

>>50488855
If you are young and haven't been doing this for a decade you can probably go cold turkey.

>>50489055
Thx. I just turned 30 and it’s been steady for about 2.5 years

>>50473321
You don't. Keep consuming friend.

>>50473321
You are like a little babe

>>50489252
That’s a good price for pacifico

Honestly once you get some tolerance its fucking annoying to drink and the buzz lasts too little

after a while you will end up just drinking on weekends if you are doing it for the buzz, because it will give you a better tolerance level to not break the bank and not get too close to the every-day-hangover limit

However 3 a day is literally nothing, I had 8 a day for a few months before I started seeing giant bugs and spiders everytime I woke up, now I just drink on friday and saturday like 8-10 at night and nothing on weeks and I feel its the best way

>>50489104
Stop tonight, and don't think you're giving up anything except being a sad drunk.

Four beers literally isn't shit. but if you really want to stop. put that money into HBAR instead and wait for the foundation to crush it and make us all rich. then drink champaign instead.

1-2 beers a night is good for you. If it’s making you fat that’s cause you are a lazy office worker.

>>50473784
me but with porn

>>50474378
>just be a pacified niggercattle goy. just drink and wageslave away, some niggercattle in the past did it and so should you
get a load of this alcoholic junkie coping faggot

>>50473321
I used to drink a bottle of wine+ each night
Now i mix the wine with a ton of seltzer water
Still fun to drink but im not killing my liver anymore

>>50489373
3 drinks every night is terrible for you
Dont be deluded

>>50475246
>Your liver cant handle 30 per month.
30 per week would be kinda bad, but 30 per month is fucking nothing bro

>>50473371
This, when I had a miserable job I fucking hated I drank every day too. Luckily I had enough money to just quit so I didn't care.

If I had my time back I wouldn't have quit though. I just would've started doing -30% to -20% below the absolute minimum while I looked for another job.

>>50489740
And by not drinking any alcohol you are somehow superior in resistance to the regime? Other than not drinking what are you doing to actively work for white people?

>>50482006
>It has to be an easy decision you've made where you realize there's no benefits and there are a million other ways to feel cheerful or relaxed.
this, which is unironically why I transitioned (intentionally) from 3x/night drinks to 1x/weekly giga binge. The hangover was so catastrophically shit that it made me realize very acutely how unbearably shitty the reward profile is for alcohol relative to the damage it causes. When I was a daily drinker, sure I'd feel groggy and shit and hangxious in the mornings but since it was every day I could sort of just rationalize it away as "well I'm mid-30s and that's just how it feels to get old". Binging casts all the shittiness of alcohol into sharp relief and gives you very clear motivation to want to stop inflicting this damage on yourself

>>50473321
>>50473332
>>50474279
>>50474969
how can you stand to drink so many high-volume low-abv drinks in a night? Even at 3 beers I basically felt like balloon ready to pop.

>>50473321

idk start getting baked instead?

>>50473321
get your ALT blood levels checked

>>50484989
>>50489815
One bottle of beer is half a litre. Around 30 per week means you are going for 1500 to 1600 per year. Thats 750 to 800 L of beer.
I come from a long bloodline of drinkers, and wine and brandy makers.
800 L is a lot and you liver cannot handle it. Because you also eat processed food, you breathe polluted air, you drink other drinks as well you drink polluted water and juices.

In my drinking prime I could sit down and drink 20 bottles in one sitting.
I would piss and piss and piss. and my belly was bloated from enlarged fatty liver an dying pancreas.

>>50473321
invest all the money you spend on alcohol into matic and make some profits for yourself anon. stop being an alcoholic fuck

>>50490102
you have to stay physically active to do this - if you exercise a lot and get into calorie debt, your body doesn't mind so much to dump this empty fuel into it. still better to stop drinking all together

/t almost 50 guy who is in decent shape and can drink without pain when i want to

>>50490426
How to avoid feeling like passing out after drinking during working out?

>>50473784
what in the hell, you probably dont even feel it anymore lmao

>>50490594
lol no you workout regularly so you have a metabolism that is used to burning a lot of calories. then you replace your normal food intake with beer - that's how you keep from feeling bloated and overloading your digestive system.

GERD cures my alcoholism. Now I can’t even drink one beer without feeling bloated, farting all day, my underwear pressing against my stomach making me dry heave, being unable to eat or drink basically anything without acid coming up into my throat and burning it. I have to be careful what time I eat or drink water because it’ll wash acid into my throat if I lay down to close to consuming anything.

Just quit booze, man. I consider myself lucky I only have to deal with this for the rest of my life.

All it too for me to quit dude weed lmao was losing my income. Thanks bobo you are alright.

>>50473364
>start by not drinking during the week, allow yourself over the weekend
this is what I am doing
This is the first week I am doing it and so far so good. Funny enough, I don't even have a craving

>>50473321
literally just stop, not hard little guy

find something else if you can
any heart rate problems or anxiety it's time to get out maybe with medical help
do not start any benzo treatments for anxiety. get off the booze at that point
do not start benzos

>>50475246
>Your liver cant handle 30 per month.
Dumbest most retarded thing I've ever read
>>50489815
30 a week isn't all that bad either.

>>50473321
>up to 4 beers a night now. How do I stop this?
When I started drinking a 6pack every day, I knew it was becoming a problem the same way you're noticing it. So I switched to 1 bottle of wine every day instead because 1 is less than 6

>>50490702
>>50490426
This. Went on a 30 minute 5k run earlier today, and currently enjoying a nice whiskey. With the Whiskey I'm probably only on about 1300 kcal today(past midnight here in Europe now), with 500 kcal burned from the run

buy $champ on release and never work anymore. probably. maybe?

>>50475999
No it wasn't

>>50473321
Sleep instead of drinking when stressed. When awake, job hunt. Funnel your hatred into finding an escape rather than the bottom of the bottle.

bump

If you get fat while drinking then it's because you eat too soon or too close to alcohol, (( they )) say drinking on an empty stomach is bad but honestly its probably the best damage/fun ratio you will get if you don't overdo it, the tolerance food gives you is too strong and it also makes you fat pretty quickly

now consider every single boomer takes alcohol with fatty food and you will realize why they are so fat

>>50473321
A neighbor up the street from my work offered me a white claw around lunch. I’ve gone 15 years working without that crutch and I hate to say I enjoyed it a little more than I should have. Drank like 4 in total till the end of the day.

>>50481142
Elaborate

How do you even wage without substances

>>50473321
>How do I make it stop
You don't, you progress to a full 6 pack a day and accept your fate, the future don't get better either.
Cheers.

>>50473321
I drink shooters all day at work

>>50473321
LMAO 4 BEERS
Does that even get you drunk? I can crush a 15 pack in my 30s and still be good to drive.

>>50473321
rope

>>50475777
Checked. Same effect with NAC, (which I take with coq10 in the form of ubiquitol and alpha lipoic acid)
Very difficult to get drunk because NAC protects the liver so well and absolutely no hangovers ever

>>50475964
>this
I’m always amazed how quickly it becomes a temperance movement and complete T totaling in these threads- if you’re any kind of sane person you move in and out of drinking more or less on different parts of your life- checking yourself back to good natural standing.
And also having not shit genetics, you just live longer period

>>50473321
I mix 5-8 shots of vodka with some vitamin water and get wasted at work. I'll be putting through some ladies order and the room will be spinning around me.

>>50498989
What is there to elaborate? It's a slippery slope that if you don't get a handle on it will literally ruin your life. If you don't fuck up somehow the health problems will eventually get you. In other words it's not worth it and anybody who claims being an alcoholic is "fun" is fooling themselves.

>>50499332
do you work at a fast food place or something? i took a shit and clogged the toilet by accident and work once. i thought it was pretty funny. there wasn't a plunger or anything so i just kinda bounced

>>50475310
nah fuck that, it's way harder to say no to 4 beers when you're already 2 beers in. Cold turkey has always worked the best for me.
Obviously don't do that if you're drinking 12 beers a day or withdrawals will put you in a coma.

>>50489252
Fuck modelo, that mexican shit gives me the runs. Must be the water they use

>>50473321
Lol. Let me know when you buy a 12 pack, finish it, then get into the vodka... on a wednesday

>>50478712
I would but my dad said quitters never win.

>>50482057
I got food poisoning from canned crab meat from brazil... It fucking sucked for 2 days but it definitely sped up my metabolism.

wtf that's literally me. Like 100%.

Had the same problem until I quit working.
Now only drink in the weekends with frens.

>>50501426
>Alcohol is poison
>Destroys lungs with smoking
Lmaooo
At least try, anon

>>50473784
You don't even get high anymore right? I also smoke err day all day, but i actually try to smoke the less weed possible both because its expensive and because the more you smoke, the less you feel it, weed can get a bit addictive because of that, also, I get headaches if I smoke too much

>>50473321

I suggest you replace your drinking habit with something els. A good night of sleep. Because thats the main reason I dont drink daily, it fucks with my sleep and I love sleep, and also I dont want to get to fat, I hate being fat.
