How the hell do I make a mint julep? Every time I try, it's severely underwhelming.
>2 and a quarter oz of bourbon
>1 oz of simple syrup with tons of sugar, steeped in lots of fresh mint straight off the plant overnight -- green in color
>shake with ice, pour into glass.
Always ends up tasting like watered down bourbon.

>go downstairs
>take a shot
>brush my teeth so wife doesnt smell
>repeat every 20 minutes or so
>mfw
Any other good stealth mode tricks

>>11437330
less bourbon. Try just 2oz.
Try 1 1/4 oz of syrup as well and more mint.

>>11437331
Just chew gum.
This is what I do when I drink vodka out of a water bottle at work like a degenerate.

>>11437334
I'll give those proportions a shot. Don't think I could add much more mint though -- it's an absurd amount already.

>>11437331
You have a problem, Tonto.

>>11437320
probably on /r9k/ because idiotic nigger-semen sucking mods on this board banned al/ck/ threads
seriously, you fucking need lobotomies fucking shiteating hotpocketeers

been drinking since noon and its nice and good

Are you guys proud of your addiction? You do realize that being an alcoholic does not make you cool, right? It is not romantic. It just means that you're weak and pathetic.

>>11437358
Spot the incel virgin
I know im cool

>>11437358
>how to spot the failed normalfag parroting bullshit

>>11437330
If it’s tasting like it’s watered down, you might not have enough sugar in your simple?

Also, what bourbon are you using? Cheap shit is harsher, and won’t make for a great julep.

Raged less of all of this, my advice would be to muddle some mint leaves with a splash of simple and an ice cube to pull the menthol out, then add liquid ingredients

tastiest drink?
yes, im a sissy

I'm trying to get into drinking since I'm depressed but all alcohol tastes like shit to me. How do I start out?

>>11437379
All alcohol tastes of shit

>>11437379
orange juice

>>11437330
You aren't muddling enough.

>>11437365
>>11437369
Nope, just someone who has seen and had to deal with alcoholism in its real form, not the deluded retard version that you guys try to brag about.
Disgusting pathetic addicts, I want you to know that even on 4chan we see you as you are.

>>11437381
>I'm trying to get into drinking since I'm depressed
You'll regret it. Don't be a retard.

>>11437320
Right here, I really need to stop. I can't get a damn thing done.

>>11437386
t.16 years old mad because mom won't let him drink beer

>>11437379
White russians are good, but they'll make you fat if you drink more than 1 or 2. Black russians are the same thing, minus the cream, but will still make you fat. I also love a good Old Fashioned. The latter 2 drinks are basically pure liquor, too.

>>11437358
Are you fucking retarded? Do you think I'm proud of being a chemical cripple? Jesus wept.

>>11437377
I thought it might not be enough sugar, but I can't imagine adding more after this last batch. It's an incredible amount, but maybe I'm wrong. How syrupy should the simple syrup be?
And I'm using Woodford.

>>11437386
>we
God you/re gay, kid. No, alcoholism sucks. Let us revel in our gay, self-produced sorrows.

>>11437386
>t. i'm right, you guys and all the evidence you have is wrong because my feelings

>>11437394

Surely two glasses of milk won't make you any fatter?

>>11437379

I make my simple in a quart takeout container; fill it about 1/3 to 1/2, somewhere in there, top off with hot water and mix. I don’t know what those measurements convert to, but you get the idea. Put in your mint after that’s all dissolved.

Woodford is p. good, so your bourbon isn’t the issue

>>11437358
it fucking does make me cool

>>11437414
>>11437389
Yeah whatever, have fun lobotomizing yourself with booze, making everyone around you detest your miserable presence. Hope you don't mind your clothes being soaked with piss.
>>11437399
>>11437412
Then do something about it you fucking losers. And stop advertising it to more spineless weaklings. Jesus fucking christ the mentality of addicts is so fucking infuriating.

>>11437386
lol someone in your family probably died from it. have a drink to them, you'll feel better

>>11437444
Okay, that's definitely more sugar than I was using. I filled a tupperware about 1/4 of the way.
And yeah, Woodford is creme de la creme, especially at that price point.

>>11437358
If you don't understand, don't bother.

>>11437462
Think of this thread like a support group, and get that sand out of your vagina. At least I'm not a cokehead anymore in addition to having this monkey on my back. No, at no point did I say this is a preferable way to live. Let us stay in our containment thread and fuck off.

>>11437464
Yeah, and one is currently in rehab after years of being a spineless sack of shit.
I do drink, I'm just a fucking man who is able to take reality and not drink themselves into a stupor every night.
>>11437459
Yeah I'm sure everyone around you thinks you're really cool
>>11437476
>Think of this thread like a support group,
It's the complete opposite of a support group, but clearly your mind is too addled to see that. You are only enabling other strangers online.
Fucking scum. If you're gonna be a worm don't try to bring other people into it.

>>11437467
At 1/4 container, you’re not woefully far off, but simple should act like, well, a syrup. I know people who use less, some who use more, it varies by personal tastes. But if a wattered down drink is your trouble, try using more

>>11437486
So you have alcoholism genes, you drink, and you loathe yourself so much you lash out at alcoholics. You're basically like a closeted gay guy who beats up fags at the gay bar and gets a secret boner from it.

>>11437386
>someone you know is a complete fucking retard
>he also likes alcohol too much
wtf i hate alcohol now

>>11437486
>If you’re gonna be a worm don’t try to bring other people into it.

Who forced you to join this thread?

>>11437420
Don't use milk. Anything below half and half will get soured by the vodka.

>>11437499
Wrong you junkie loser.
I'm genetically predisposed to alcoholism, yes, but that doesn't mean I'm an addict. Addicts are the ones who are weak enough to let it take over. I can drink a healthy amount because unlike you I'm a functioning adult who is able to know the difference between drinking like a normal person and acting like a child whenever in the presence of booze.
>>11437505
Genuine moron. This site is for 18+

>>11437522
Addict ≠ junkie

>>11437534
Oh I'm sorry I got your nomenclature wrong.
Toad

>>11437522
how do you imagine we act when we're drunk? In your fantasy when you're sitting around obsessing about the people you hate, how do we act?

>>11437537
It’s not confused nomenclature, friend. You’re forcing two totally different things into the same exact idea. I hope I don’t need to explain to you how that makes you wrong.

My drinking has gotten a lot better but I think my sleep is permanently fucked

>>11437556
It just takes a really long time to normalize. It will eventually happen, just don't give up and start drinking a shit ton in order to get to sleep again or you'll be back at square one.

Al/ck/ie who still browses /ck/ reportan. Got fired from my job last month for putting a 15" hole in a wall. Currently cleaning and drinking.

>>11437565
I still drink now and then, but never until I black out. Would you recommend not drinking anything altogether?

>>11437320
Sup bro

>>11437580
Bruh, why did you do that? Also, what was the job?

Blacked out yesterday and missed school and work. Feels bad bros

>>11437588
Because I'm an alcoholic man child who was drunk at work and couldn't handle his emotions. It was a total accident, but I was upset over a voicemail I got that morning from my ex and decided I didn't open the bathroom door hard enough the first time. Second time did the trick.

Feeling some abdominal pain lately for the past couple of days off and on and trying to cut down. Can this only be organ pain, or can you feel pain from depriving yourself of alcohol just because you are addicted?

Got myself down to one glass of whiskey a night, single+neat for the cold weather

I was tapering down on beers for awhile, and it does work, but fuck me beer makes me smell awful and started leaving this taste in the back of my mouth that just wouldn't go away

Enjoy your b&

>>11437604
Might be weird constipation
Whenever you suddenly stop or reduce intake, your digestion gets all weird regardless of how much you ate or didn't eat
I wouldn't worry about it unless the pain is in the very top of your stomach, almost at your chest

>>11437582
It would help your sleep further I'm sure, but that's up to you what you want to do. And again don't expect even complete sobriety to fix your sleep quickly.

>>11437606
doesn't break any rules

>>11437604
Where in your abdomen? Could be mild pancreatitis or a gallbladder thing, but I wouldnt expect acute cases of either to last days on end

>>11437602
Nice. But you were fired over this? Assuming you didn’t tell them you were blasted, couldn’t it have been a normal accident?

>>11437611
The reason I ask is because I think drinking until I black out puts my sleep quality back to square one. I feel like as long as I don't do that my sleep quality will continue to get better but I really don't know

>>11437610
I feel it occasionally at the position of my liver and kidneys but it's not ever-present. Also I really don't feel anything at the top of my stomach, that would be around where your gallbladder is right? I also just have misc. pains all around my torso and occasionally some closer to the bowel area on the sides.

>>11437625
Yes, and I did tell my supervisor immediately, but then they took me to a room with the manager of staff or whatever to discuss what happened. I was seated literally two feet away from her, and she accused me of having alcohol om my breath. Worse, my supervisor came down to hand me my backpack before I was dismissed for the day, and there is a big-ass hole in my backpack and there were clinking cans. I could tell from the sheepish look on his face that he knew.

Oh, and it was a hospitality job for a major tourist attractions, mainly involved taking calls, answering emails, working the corporate front desk, etc. It was a good job.

>>11437633
Yeah definitely the heavier the drinking the worse for the sleep, I can say that much. Blackout sleep only is ok for the first couple years, the more you do that into your life the worse it fucks with you.

>>11437636
Probably gas and digestion stuff then
I had similar scares a few weeks ago, turned out to just be a bad case of diarrhea, no blood or anything
Feel fine now

>>11437633
I don't really like sleep aids all too much. Melatonin, benadryl, etc. But CBD oil which is legal everywhere does the trick. I bite half a gummie and then try to go to sleep (as opposed to staying on the computer or doing anything).

>>11437645
Shit, man, I’m sorry to hear that. The can clinking kinda leaves you straight busted there. Is it a job you want back? Can you tell them you took some time to work through some personal problems that made your work suffer and would like a second chance?

>>11437606
Oh look, a Gold Star Middle School Hall Monitor! I'd wager you're a cop of some sort now, amirite?
