/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I feel you op. I've had 2 dui's myself. I quit drinking almost 3 years ago. I had a little relapse recently that lasted 4 weeks. I decided to quit again though. Been off booze for 2 weeks. Been doing kratom like a mofo though

>>6018229
drink your way through this anon

>>6018229

Got one last year, bro. It sucks but keep your head up

>>6018229

That sucks man, I've been thinking of stopping my self soon too.. Its becoming a big problem especially since I'm starting to drink into the early mornings \ day

You're lucky you only hurt yourself. You could have woken up a murderer instead of a sad sack

Don't do that again, faggot.

>>6018229
I took out a telephone pole last year and was hit with DUI hit and run. Blew a .18. it was 10 am. To be fair, I'd been up for 3 days before smoking glass. anyways, enjoy your dui. It's really hard to find good employment with that on your record. At least all this is true in California, where I live.

beer'o'clock anons. cheers all
how goes things

>>6018459
Nice one mate, schooner of VB.

>>6018414
>You're lucky you only hurt yourself.
This. Got mine in 2011. .304 at 8am. Wasn't even driving. The god damn waitress at Perkins called me and my girl in for being "obviously high on something" and they swarmed me when we went out to my truck. 30 days in county, 2 years probation, 48 hours community service, and 86 hours therapy.

Sucked, but that's the fuckin' deal.

>>6018419

Ended up getting one early in college and got a diversion, so it wasn't on my record and got into a good medical school. It isn't completely an end all, but you've got to be really fucking careful to not do that again, or even in the first place.

>>6018476
>30 days in county
Was it your first offence?
I've heard they only give you probation and a license suspention on your first offence.

>>6018485
Yep, first one. It was because I blew so high. Colorado btw

>>6018485

I got 45 days licence suspension, the rest of the year on licence restriction (w/ breathalizer) and 1 year with a breathalizer no restriction here in Kansas for breathing a 0.151 at a checkpoint. They take the shit pretty seriously here

>>6018492

meant to add before I clicked enter, "but no jail time"

Also, OP, do some research and if you know you're going to have to do classes, start them NOW. Looks MUCH better when you do go to your sentencing

>live with roomie who likes to drink
>chilling in my room playin vidya drinkin beer and vodka
>get hungry and drunkenly stumble into kitchen to microwave up some pizza
>drunk roomie is fighting with his gf
>she calls the police
>chill in room drinkin beer and eating pizza police come
>come out to see what all the noise is about
>roomie gets arrested for abuse and i just happened to get arrest for being drunk
>spend the night in lockup get my dad to bail me out
>went from listening to pink floyd, drinking, and eating pizza in my comfy blanket to being thrown in lockup

tl:dr live alone
picture unrelated

>>6018486
I'm from colorado as well. I had my first dui in february of this year. I watched the superbowl at detox. My biggest advice is to start classes right away. When you do go to court, they'll make you do random UA's and BA's until the end of your alcohol education / therapy. If you start earlier, the randoms will be less. I started class 2 weeks after my DUI. I only had 3 months of randoms. Most people do 9 months to a year.

>>6018515
How do you get arrested for being drunk in your own home?

>>6018229
Shit luck OP. My buddy got one in highschool because we were going to kick this guys ass and he drove. We're 22 and he just recently got his license back. He's still a really shitty driver though.

>>6018515
>get arrested for being drunk
The fuck? How do you get arrested just for being drunk?

>>6018521
Heh, I watched to 2012 Superbowl in Adams County.

>>6018465
middy of swan. il grab a vb next though

>>6018521
>I watched the superbowl at detox
OP here... how the fuck did you get away with that shit? They wouldn't even give me a blanket in detox. I was literally alone in a concrete fucking room for 24 hours with nothing but a sink and toilet.

>want to drink
>have had a ton of food in last 2 days to the point I feel sick
>getting drunk and doing stupid shit online tho

>>6018229

hey OP have you tried drinking but not driving? That's the best of both worlds

Reminder you're not alone, to drink lots of water and eat healthy.
Reminder AA is free.
Reminder if you're ignorant enough to believe AA is full of and only for jesus freaks you deserve your pain.

>>6018476
>The god damn waitress at Perkins called me and my girl in for being "obviously high on something" and they swarmed me when we went out to my truck.
jesus christ fuck that shit

i remember in high school me and my friends showing up totally smashed at the local truck stop diners at 3 in the morning (oxy plus alcohol). i once blew chunks all over the table (we switched tables) and no one did a thing. sounds like your waitress was a bitch to ruin your night like that

>>6018492
>for breathing a 0.151 at a checkpoint.
fuck, i hate checkpoints. i always turn around whenever i see one. fuck indiana

>>6018701
>>6018720
honestly I will never ever do it again. not only because spending 24 hours in a locked room by myself was fucking terrible but when I realised that could have easily been a person instead of a pole and I could have been facing life imprisonment instead of some probation and community service that kinda sobered me up real fast.
don't drink and drive kids.

>>6018515
>>6018524
>>6018529
>>6018715
This. Where the fuck do you live that you can be arrested for being drunk in your own apartment/flat/home/yurt?

>>6019096
laaaaand of the freeeee

Fucking drunk drivers ... a guy on my motorcycle board is friends with a couple who had four kids. Two were killed by drunk drivers in separate incidents, the third kid was killed last week by a texting bimbo. None lived to see 24. One kid left out of four.

>>6019155
That's definitely God

>>6019096
My second DUI I got binned, my gf was in the passenger seat and they told her to go home. Soon as she closed the door they binned her too for PI.

>>6019220
Britbong?

>>6019155
>>6019174
Amen.

I usually hold my alcohol really well but I couldn't even hold down water today, threw up a bunch of times and my head has been throbbing

so what did I end up doing? going and getting another bottle, fight what I feel with more alcohol should do the trick

>tfw drunk as fuck took an uber home

>>6021337

>1337
I feel great but my head still hurts and I'm not sure if my liver is hurting or not, I think it is

>>6018229
Or you could, you know, just don't drive while drunk.

ive had two dui's and countless mornings i had no idea what I've done. alcohol sucks man. its just not worth it if you can't stop. go to AA, and actually work the program. iit will help. there is so much more than just the alcohol, its the whole thought process. its hard man i know but you can get through it. its not the end, its a beginning if you will.

>>6018419
meh. not so with myself, i make 11hr abd that's not even trying. plus i joined the army national guard. you just have to show you are progressing. its not the end.

>>6021503
I really shouldnt be drinking considering I was throwing up all day and im almost finished this bottle but everything is so enjoyable and funny to me right now

i bought some new gym equipment so i can get back to lifting (havent lifted since june) and i cant wait to get back into that routine

you guys can do it i will individually help all of you

Paramedic here working with local county; occasionally with DUI accidents some innocent driving home is the dead one and we have to take care of the drunk asshole who survived.

So toughen up OP and take your medicine, it could have been a lot worse. Personally I would have loved it if you were in jail a couple of months for being so damn reckless.

back on the sauce, unemployed & not looking too good. LIVE LOVE LAFF

>1 hour lunch break at work
>drive 20 mins home, take a shot, read /ck/ for 15 mins on the shitter, drive 20 mins back in a better mood, but not drunk

T..t...this isnt good, is it?

>>6018419
>really hard to find good employment

Unless you drive for a living or operate heavy machinery, this is BS. I got a deuce in Cali and had no problem passing background checks and getting jobs until it was off my DMV record (which just happened, BTW).

I guess I was lucky in that I got mine in 2003, so my penalties weren't so bad. 24 hours community service, DUI classes, a fine, and a restricted license. No jail time, even the night I got nailed -- they let me call a friend to pick me up and the cops parked my car for me instead of impounding it.

Protip: pass the attitude test and even CHP can be brotier (considering the circumstances).

you don't need to give up drinking

just need to teach yourself that drinking and driving is like shooting a gun at an innocent person

you wouldn't shoot someone even drunk as hell so just teach yourself that it's the same kind of wrong and not an innocent crime

>>6022683
Minor In Possession is what he would get for being drunk underage. Which is basically a parking ticket. Certainly not arrest worthy. If what he said was true and
he actually got arrested, he obviously was mouthing off to the cops.

>>6023013
Don't listen to this degenerate. Get your shit together before you start hitting the sauce again, OP.

>>6023026
people only drive drunk because they feel it's a victimless crime and socially acceptable within their group of friends

If people viewed it as a crime such as robbery, arson, murder, then people might stop doing it and just stay home

>>6023034
True. But everyone needs to sober up once in a while and evaluate.

>>6023034
People drive drunk because spoiler alert: alcohol lowers inhibitions.

well, this has turned into a moral shit-flinging contest. ultimately, a man (or woman) takes responsibility for their actions at the end of the day. if they are able to drive drunk without a hitch, that is the definition of a victimless crime. however, know that you're always playing with a half-loaded revolver when you do so.

OP, i have sympathy for you and i'm glad no one was hurt. you should listen to your instincts about not drinking for a while, but i swear if you preface it with "NEVER EVER", the comedown off the wagon will be hard

I drank a liter of Colonial Club last night and woke up in my car in the parking lot of an elementary school. Apparently my girlfriend left me there.

>>6023124
a victimless crime never involves or potentially involves other people

driving drunk is a gamble at best

>living on a deserted campus for thxgiving break
>a poor student, spending the last reserves on bourbon

now i'm fed, sober, and my girl's head is resting comfortably in my lap. but man, alcohol could bring me to a dark state of being a hermit.

>>6023133
Heh. Sounds like it's time to have an intervention with yourself

>>6023138
if you're like me—living in a very rural area, and you're driving drunk at 3am, whom do you harm? there is guaranteed to be nobody awake and on the roads, since it's scarcely populated, and with farmers who have to be up before the sun.

i'm not defending drunk driving as an institution, i'm advocated against simplistic binary morality.

>>6023164
>there is guaranteed to be nobody awake and on the roads
you are on road though

>>6021446
this. I used it Friday night at 3 am. Shit cost me 60 bucks but fuck if i get another dwi. Never drinking and driving again.

>>6023164
Do you not know what guaranteed means?

Idiot.

Also if you wreck while drunk you're better off ditching it until the next day as the penalty for leaving the scene of an accident is lesser than a DWI.

>>6023209
Kids, remember this when you run over a jogging soccer mom.

All you weak fucks in this thread complaining about DUIs should just man up and quit drinking, if that is impossible at least stop driving while drunk.
If all else fails just fucking kill yourself.

Same here, my DUI scared me from driving even after a half of a beer.

There's no fucking way I'm getting another one.

>>6018480
>>6022680

This, don't let the "your future is ruined" ads scare you. I was able to get a great job with a big 4 accounting firm after getting one 2 years into my college career. You've just got to be great in your interviews (which is obvious for any interview) and not have a felony on your record.

That said, please don't make the mistake I made and drive even if you think you're a little bit drunk. I don't care how good of a driver you think you are or how in control you may think you are, you could end up being the murderer of a mother and father's child. That's not something you want to live with.

ITT: people that have no tolerence. I need a few drinks to make me safe behind the wheel, otherwise when sober I'm a far worse driver because of constant panic attacks.

Not the best story but I haven't drunk since (happened 3 weeks ago)

Have a friend who works for 000, said he was monitoring most of my night via cameras around the CBD and had police follow me to the train station without me knowing. Got lucky I guess but don't know what happened to those shoes..

Drank everything I had in my apartment and it's Sunday so blue laws once again ruin my night. Fuck this state.

>>6024590

That doesn't mean if you are pulled over for some asinine reason, you won't blow over .08. Tolerance as nothing to do with it. I can drink a 6 pack with more than a few shots and feel fine, but the checkpoint I drove through measured my breath at 0.12.

Yeah, farmers never wake up with chest pains in the middle of the night and need to get transported to a hospital immediately, even though it's 3am.

well fuck. your co worker sure was an asshole. most the guys i work with are boozers who wouldt give two shits

>>6025141
Sorry to hear about your loss. I hate thinking about the mortality of my wife and kids but I always do and I end up doing bad things like drugs to get my mind off it.

I hope things get better if they haven't already.

I drive too much drunk and sadly like driving drunk (it's fun). I actually drive very well drunk but I always figure it's just probability. If I get pulled over for some BS and they breathalyze then I'm fucked. I've actually got pulled over buzzed twice and one time pretty trashed and got away with it, which has made me think I got off lucky and to be safer. The time I was trashed the cop totally suspected too and was asking questions but when he followed me after I drove off (speeding ticket) I drove perfectly fine so he eventually pulled off and I got away.

Have multiple friends who have had DUIs and a couple people I know got multiple DUIs. Also got my car totaled by some old dude on his 3rd DUI and later he got a 4th (he was a retarded drunk).

Even if you drive like a pro drunk eventually it just takes 1 cop to suspect something and breathalyze you and you're toast and out of a lot of $. 1 friend even had to have a breathalyzer deal in his car and that's incredibly embarrassing if you're on a date or meeting someone new.

DUIs are fairly common though so don't let it get you down too much. Many employers will understand, good or bad.

>>6025141
you planted kiddy porn on your coworkers laptop, yes? please make sure to

I like to be a safe alcohol. I always do my laundry and cleaning when drunk. I make it so when I wake up my room is neat and tidy, water beside me to chug, car keys and wallet safely on the desk beside me (I used to toss them god knows where in drunken craziness).

Drunk me is nice to sober me. Next task is to have sober me get a fucking job so drunk me can afford it :)

>>6025213
wow you're a piece of shit

a medication that i started about a month or two ago has made me balloon up about 20 lbs. i just found out that alcohol makes me not hungry. red wine in particular does this. i just finished a mediocre "california red table wine". hello alcoholism.

>>6025896
Alcohol has plenty of calories by itself.

>>6025213
It's not the cops you should worry about, it's mowing down some unlucky fuck. A few thousand dollars will only hurt you so much, being responsible for crippling someone or taking their life, on the other hand...

I only ever take cabs when I'm drunk. Hardly even walk anywhere anymore since I woke up somewhere in an alley last winter with chipped teeth and a deep cut above my right eye. No recollection of anything, only that I was completely pissed. It was still relatively warm outside then, otherwise I might've frozen to death.

Do any of you find you get this fucking insatiable hunger on the days/nights you can manage not to drink?

Fuck I can't stand it.

>>6026634
Yes. I'll eat a massive full meal and immediately start looking for something else to make.

I also drink loads of juice or soda, which I never normally crave.

>>6026640
>I'll eat a massive full meal and immediately start looking for something else to make
Fuck me, that's exactly it. Shit's the worst. What the hell causes it?

I know drunk driving is shit, what about slightly buzzed driving though? I never drive drunk anymore, its stupid. But usually I like pouring a shot or two after work, and sometimes I have to go somewhere later that evening. I rarely even get drunk anymore, I just drink enough to keep my steady mellow, but I still feel sober.

>>6026655
Alcoholics tend to eat little actual food. When you drink regularly, you start losing appetite. So then when you're deprived of your daily dose your body starts demanding proper food.

Also, if you're addicted, you'll get cravings. These can be specific and/or non-specific. In other words, your body might not actually know what it's craving, so it misfires and instead of alcohol (or alongside it), it will crave food.

That's a very basic rundown of the issue.

>>6026673
Huh...that's actually pretty fascinating.

>>6026668
That's completely dependent on your BAC and tolerance. It's widely agreed that a BAC of 3 permille/0.3 % (I have no idea what unit Americalps or Britbongs measure this in) is the threshold for noticable impairment in terms of being fit to drive. That's half a pint (0.33 l), to make it more tangible.

In several European countries, that's the upper limit you're still allowed to drive at. If you fuck up though and run someone over or even if the police see you driving in a weird way, you're still fucked.

So, tl;dr, I don't know where you live and I don't know about your alcohol laws, but 1 shot is pushing it, 2 shots is definitely too many if you aren't an advanced alcoholic.

>>6026668
>>6026724
here's a handy dandy chart for your impairment argument

https://www.erowid.org/chemicals/alcohol/alcohol_info7.shtml

>>6026680
Never noticed those token alcoholics at one of your local bars, in your family, at work, wherever? The ones who you know have been at it hard since god knows how many years and won't likely stop because no? The vast majority of them are thin. Sure, some people get bloated (see Christopher Hitchens, the fantastic bastard), but most of them, no, they hardly eat and just drink.

>>6026732
That's a great chart (further cements my opinion of erowid as a good site) because it clearly states that the only really safe driving limit is 0.00. People kid themselves into thinking they're unaffected by alcohol but they're not. Depending on several factors, as this chart shows, even one drink can significantly affect your driving skills. And that means that even below this threshold, your driving skills may not actually be significantly affected, but they ARE affected. Meaning, at 0.00 you might've not hit that street light or that deer or that drunk guy.

If you'e gonna drink and drive, at least realise you're nowhere near your sober driving skills.

>>6026732
>>6026724
Well this worries me. Im one of those expert alcoholics that acts sober all the time. Like I said I dont drive impaired, but my tolerance is so high that I worry now if for some reason I get pulled over. I actually worry less if ive had a couple, i get full blown panic attacks if I dont drink. I had them before I even started, fucking anxiety panic attacks. A little alcohol keeps me level and calm.

>>6026767
driving while buzzed, in my case at least, is safer for everyone involved than me driving while having a full blown panic attack.

>>6026724
tfw i drove rally, and also drive drunk very well

pro tip for all noob kids who like to drive drunk
put a sign above your speedometer that says "YOURE DRUNK, DRIVE EXACTLY 5km OVER THE SPEED LIMIT,
STAY IN YOUR LANE YOU IDIOT"

driving too slow and weaving is jailbait. drive like an average joe who thinks hes slightly above the law and stay straight. weaving and swerving and extreme red flags for police. if you can see a cop in your rear view who isnt making moves, do not change speed and keep it straight. if are not in the right most lane, change lanes to the right and give the cop way. if you are in the right most lane, maintain your speed and stay straight.

highway patrol officers are kind of like cats in a weird way
>they hide in odd places to catch you off guard
>they move around the roads *just* slightly faster than everyone else, and their heavy cruisers make the motion of their cars look very fluid. i call this cop maneuver "sliding". if youve ever driven a crown vic you would understand that once you bring it up to speed, it basically rolls like its on magnets. the power steering is also very efficient on crown victorias due to the heavy front bias. you can essentially move the wheel like you were moving your computer mouse and the car follows.
>they see something odd and they chase after it, then play with it a little bit before letting it go
>they see something tasty (aka a clear conviction) and they chase after it, then rip it apart looking for more tasty goods
>they like to be petted, but only sometimes; you cant always sweet talk a roadside stop, but sometimes they feel generous
>they have guns; cats have claws
though cats dont claw innocent black men to death in the southeast
HEYOOO
just kidding im canadian, dont act so shady kids!

>>6026785
I honestly don't know how tolerance factors into the whole thing. Apparently there have been people drinving Porsches on German autobahns at well over 5 % BAC, but that really shouldn't encourage you, Anon. The thing is, if you're an alcoholic, you might be tolerant to alcohol but you're likely fucked up in various other ways and when all is said and done, you are simply not sober.

Just take a cab. It might cost a little, but it's comfy, you can talk to the driver if you want to, and you know you'll reach your destiny safely.

Or walk, but that is for plebs.

>>6026808
You drove rally, that means driving a car is virtually like walking to you. I would bet that rally drivers, or those of any other professional league for that matter, can make up for more intoxication than your average J. Doe.

Did you do rallies while drunk?

>>6025213
>it's fun
agreed.

sometimes i tell my parents i'm going to the bar but really i just get a pint of liquor at the store and drive around for an hour

>>6026767
Hey, im the guy who posted the link
I agree with you, when you have had drinks you are nowhere near you sobriety skill level. But, the chart doesn't necessarily state the only safe level is zero zero. Clearly the MOST safe level is zero zero, but for heavier people and those with greater alcohol tolerance, one or two drinks does not severely affect their driving skills. It would be more likely for a sober distracted driver to have an accident than a completely concentrated driver who has had 1 or 2 drinks.

But, I don't see an argument here. Are you pushing for more strict DUI laws?
If you are, consider the sentencing crisis of the 1990s. Crack was on the rise, and the sentence was 100 times harsher than that of plain cocaine. Many people went to prison for life without parole. But, did the demand for crack stop? No, it did not. There were thousands of imprisonments enforcing brutally extreme mandatory minimum sentences for minor drug crimes, merely because they were repeat offenders.

It has been proven that in the united states, the deterrent force of the law has not been successful in drug related crimes. alcohol is a drug. If we really want to cut down dui related deaths we need to focus on denunciation and rehabilitation. Deterrence and separation are band aid solutions at the most.

There has to be more media exposure, just like with tobacco denunciation. Driving while impaired hurts people the same way tobacco smoke does. Secondly, we have to remove the stigma from AA and create more specialized health groups to support drunk drivers.

And no, of course not. Rallying takes much more focus. for one, you have a copilot whos shouting instructions at you all the time, and you have to see the upcoming turn and consider your co pilots information. then you take the turn and your brain mixes your gut feel of the car and your co pilots info and you just blend. i could do it while intoxicated but i would have to go much slower

i have done a few amateur demolition derbys while i was nicely buzzed, but it was between friends

think of it like this
maybe your a student, or a chef, or something
you wouldnt get drunk while studying, or taking a test, or preparing a meal for a famous critic. but you would surely get drunk when youre shooting the shit with your buds about things you learned in school, or making a meal for yourself and maybe even a girlfriend or whatever

but rallying is very different from city or even highway driving. if you have had a few drinks, you can safely make it home by being alert and following an extremely safe distance from the car ahead of you as insurance. im talking 10 to 12 seconds here. at highways speeds, 5-6 seconds is considered safe for a sober driver, hence the double distance when drunk.

also remember that the greatest threat to yourself comes from behind, so always check your mirror. if somebody is following closely you have two options: pull over to the right lane, or if you are in the rightmost lane just let off the gas until your are going retarded slow and they will pass you
but, like in my earlier post, all the rules change when ur drunk driving. at that point you want to look inconspicuous

>>6026870
>Right. It's fun until you kill someone. I'm an alcoholic, but there's no way in hell I'm touching my car when I'm drinking. Not for my sake, for other people's sake.
do you drink out of your fedora or what?

lots of things are fun until you kill someone. like that time my friend jumped off the cliff into the lake. or when my and my buddy played chicken with the train as kds. or when we used to throw snowballs at the cars on the expressway.

texting and driving is just as dangerous and impairing as drinking and driving, but why don't you see the outrage about that? lots of things are dangerous, especially when you're maneuvering a 3000 pound piece of steel at speeds upwards of 70mph. change the radio? CRASH! turn down the heat? CRASH! look in your glovebox? CRASH! answer your cell phone? CRASH!

don't be so paranoid. the problem isn't drunk drivers, it's bad drivers

>>6026856
>Driving while impaired hurts people the same way tobacco smoke does.
you're a total fucking idiot

they're two completely different things with completely different consequences. learn to think before you post or go back to reddit when you can expect some good karma for that one

>>6026897
>kek, i think you are the idiot. or youre angy about something that isnt my post :/
anyway, for your dumb sake, ill reiterate.
smoking tobacco can kill you, and secondhand smoke hurts those around you

driving while impaired can kill you aka running into a tree, and can hurt those around you aka running into other vehicles/pedestrians

you opposed the most inconsequential piece of my post.
>they two completely different things
yes and no. they are mostly unrelated activities, but they often have the same outcome: death of one's self or innocent bystanders.
you may believe they are completely unrelated, but ultimately they do have very similar consequences, and should be advertised as such.

tobacco and driving impaired both cause death. tobacco causes very widespreadt death, and therefor the media presents negative advertising regarding tobacco. since impaired driving also causes death, the media should create more awareness through negative advertising regarding impaired driving

also
>mfw your post ;)

>>6026915

>>6026937
so some old granny who died of lung disease because i was in the same diner with while I smoked is the same as the kid in the trailer park I ran over and killed? re-evaluate your risk assessment my frend

>mfw your post ;)

>>6026937
yea not the guy you're responding to, but you're still retarded

Most of the consequences for smoking tobacco are personal, i.e. you kill yourself. Second and third hand smoke account for a small percentage of the deaths from that activity

Drunk driving on the other hand, is considerably more heinous because instead of killing yourself, you kill other completely innocent people for no reason other than the fact that you wanted to drive home. It is essentially the same as getting angry and shooting someone, in that you had no premeditated intentions of doing it, but because of your lack of control, you shot somebody. That is why if you killed somebody drunk driving, you'd face manslaughter charges

Personally I like think that drunk drivers should lose their licenses for very long period of time

>>6026856
>But, the chart doesn't necessarily state the only safe level is zero zero.
It literally, yes literally, says "Only Safe Driving Limit" on the "0 drinks" row. Also, you really shouldn't sneak in the "or 2 drinks" into your sentences, because again, the table clearly shows everyone under 240 lbs (i.e. everyone that isn't morbidly obese) has significantly impaired driving skills after only 2 drinks. It can also lead some drinkers down a slippery slope, who'll probably think a third drink is ok because they felt no change between #1 and #2.

Alright, this is getting hard. These posts are getting way too long but I'm gonna try to answer sensibly anyway. Please consider I'm pretty drunk and English isn't my first language.

The chart says exactly that. "Only safe driving limit" across the entire first row, which is 0.00 for all weights. I explicitly stated that there is a threshold below which there is no *significant* impairment, but there IS an impairment, no matter how much you weigh. Sure, a guy weighin 100 kg (sorry, Europoor here) will usually barely even notice a shot or a beer, but those are extremes. And even then, if the guy has a beer or a shot on an empty stomach at a gas station and the goes on to driving? It's not that easy.

I'm not pushing for any laws here because this is an international board. I very much agree with you on the fact that harsh anti-drug laws are in no way a solution, but part of the problem at large. Still, you're jumping from DUI laws to possession/usage laws, which is an entirely different matter. But again, I'm not pushing for laws. I'm writing these posts because some Anons here asked for input on their drink-and-drive behaviour. In my opinion, there's enough shit we have to put up with, driving drunk is just an unnecessary risk for ourselves and others.

>>6022597
I have a friend who used to run to a mexican restaurant every day at work and pound two blue moons on his lunch breaks.

Before prohibition, most work places had "grog breaks". I tell you that to give you some perspective.

>>6026969

And no, driving while impaired does not hurt people the same way tobacco smoke does. That is a false equivalence. But I agree in part; people who need support should have the opportunity to get it. I don't believe in AA though. They've helped a lot of people, but ultimately, I would like to see them replaced.

>if you have had a few drinks, you can safely make it home by being alert and following an extremely safe distance from the car ahead
See, that's exactly what every drunk driver ever tells themselves.

>texting and driving is just as dangerous and impairing as drinking and driving, but why don't you see the outrage about that?
There should be a lot more outrage about it. I can only speak for my country, but if you're on your phone while driving, you'll incur a hefty fine.
Changing the radio or turning down the heat are not the same. Looking into your glovebox is dangerous, and if police spot you doing it, I'm sure they'll check you out, but it's hard to enforce. Doesn't make it any less wrong.

>>6026985
That's an entirely different thing that wasn't mentioned in the post I quoted. I agree, it's much easier to take a sip from a drink than change the radio station. But changing the radio station is not the same as drunk driving.

>>6026985

>>6026995
ya of course u retart

i was talking about drinking and driving, not driving while already trashed

u mad?

i'm already a fifth of whiskey down and about to go drive and get some more. u gonna report me to the janitor?

>>6026948
your first scenario presents the self risk of smoking tobacco. impaired driving also poses a self risk. therefore there should be more negative advertising regarding impaired driving.

and if you were impaired when you ran over that kid then that presents the point of harming others during impaired driving, furthermore, more negative advertisement against drunk driving.

your argument seems very narrow. It seems like you just want to prove that tobacco and impaired driving dont cause the same amount of harm. and they dont, you are right. tobacco kills many more people.

tobacco kills more people than impaired driving, i wasnt arguing that it didnt.
all im pushing for is that due to the fact that tobacco has health effects on users and bystanders, and that impaired driving has health effects on users and bystanders, there should be more awareness discouraging impaired driving via negative advertising, similar to how negative advertising is used against tobacco

you still really seem like you just want to pick a fight about nothing :/
but your argument is exhausted,
tldr tobacco does kill more people, but its censorship should be applied to drunk driving due to the similar danger, and greater danger to innocent bystanders

so fuck off

>>6026997
I honestly don't get what you're saying. Are you severely drunk? I'm not going to hold it against you. I can only type correctly under the greatest strain myself. Nevermind the fuckibg captchas.

I have no idea what's going on in this thread anymore.

>>6026958
rally guy here

did you read the post?
you dont seem to understand that the argument isnt about tobacco
the argument is about how tobacco kills, and its censored. drunk driving kills, but it isnt really that censored. i want drunk driving to be censored, that would be great. since censoring the % of american smokers has continually decreased, and the same could be done for drunk drivers.

>>6027009
Can you guess why?

>>6027000

first off...nice frazoli's; bastard.

other than that your statistical inadequacy in identifying correlations between behavioural patterns, risk factors and actual deaths is appalling. I have first year students that can put together a better string a bullshit than the unfounded crap you pulled out of your ass.

The only way you can get drinks here after ~8pm short of going to a bar is ordering from delivery services, ie pizza/kebap/etc. restaurants.

Rally guy here

Finally the sane man returns lol

There is certainly an impairment. But we have to consider the driver's experience, tolerance, and activity.
There's a very big difference between a 17 year old noob driver having two beers, driving through a busy city at rush hour, and a 50 year old man having two beers at a quiet pub then driving back to his home on a quiet country road
And maybe even consider me, i've driven on nearly a fifth of bourbon and screamed down the highway on a buddy's moto at around 5pm, never putting a soul in danger except myself.

And that's where my tobacco reference comes into play. Sure, there are lots of times where impaired drivers hurt others. But we all know the majority of impaired drivers are just driving themselves home after a night. At that time of night they are much more likely to run off the road and hurt themselves than another. Im not saying the risk of tobacco smoking and drunk driving are the same, but they certainly are in the same ballpark of risk

To your first quote
that's not what every drunk driver tells themselves. That is what a conscious, somewhat intoxicated driver tells themselves. and if they keep telling themselves that theyre ok. but most drivers lose focus, and not because theyre drunk, but because even when theyre sober they never really focus on things like the distance between the cars ahead and behind them, their escape routes, etc. what dangerous drunk drivers think is "im steeeeve fuking mcqueen. lets go for a rip and grab some burgers bro" dangerous drunk drivers always treat driving like a game. they speed, weave, brake hard and accelerate hard. all of which are dangerous for other drivers ahead and behind, not to mention the drunk him(or her)self

to your second quote
distracted driving is terrible. law is lenient because distracted drivers can stop being distracted, drunks cant (plus statistics of drunk causes deaths)

>>6027070

My mom was always one to drink, just all day. She was always pleasant, and it never really seemed to be a problem, health- or life-wise.
Now she's verging on liver failure.
I won't give any lecture stuff because that's not my place.

However, coming from someone who's helping take care of someone who spent a lifetime drinking?

Liver failure is awful in ways no one ever tells you unless you ask.

I'm a binge drinker. I don't drink a lot or often, but in a situation where there's no limit to what I can drink I will get blind drunk and fuck up. When I was younger I drive while wasted on 2 or 3 of these occasions, with no memory of it at all in the morning. Fucking scary. I learned to keep away from occasions where drink flows freely and to never have a drink when I have my car with me. I still fuck up occasionally and black out but I shiver in alley until I'm sober and alert enough to find another way home.

If you're an alcohol the point at which you decide to drink with your car nearby is the moment you become a potential killer.

I recently got my license, but I've been brought up rather responsibly around alcohol. Not to say I can't drink like a fish (ausfag, reporting in) but I tread maturely around alcohol.

I get anxious after I finish half a glass of champagne and then suddenly realize a) someone has to drive these people home and b) I've had the least to drink, making me the de facto designated driver.
Like, well, shit oops. I'll hang around for an hour and drink soft drinks until it passes through my system.

>>6026928
Are you retarded you stupid old fuck?

Texting and driving isn't the same as drinking and driving because you're not texting the entire fucking time you're behind the wheel from the time you turn the key in the ignition to when you shut the car off. You can choose to put down your phone if you almost crash. You can't choose to sober up if the same thing happens.

Driving drunk is inherentlty fucking retarded and you deserve everything the justice system will throw at you when you get caught. Enjoy thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours wasted on fines, community service, and alcohol treatment programs.

I don't even know why I bothered replying. You're too fucking stupid to take this seriously enough to even consider not drunk driving, so there's really no point.

he was completely unreachable and believed in his hallucinations in addition to the panic attacks, I didn't know how to describe it other than as a "psychotic episode" his wife called an ambulance and he was sedated.

there could have also been something in the hash other than weed resin, he was really fucked up for a while, even if there was nothing else in it, he ate 40 servings

nice

>>6028512
Not that guy, im alki.

But im 35. I think cutting out the fags is smarter than cutting out grog, and its clearly smarter than relying on heroin, or coke.

>>6028546
shut up MURDERER

>>6028512
Hence why you have a constant need to fill a void of emptyness with cancerous toxic pus. You are the one that requires the depressant you weak faggot.

>>6028513
You would still be broke. Education is key

>>6028573
>Hence why you have a constant need to fill a void of emptyness with cancerous toxic pus.

Who isn't filling a fucking hole inside

Is this how you fill your gaping emptiness inside, looking down on people on an anime imageboard?

>tfw start drinking in the morning if I'm even slightly hungover
>tfw friends from uni think I'm a recluse because I try to avoid them when I'm on a bender

>>6028583
don't say anime, most normals don't care for anime.

>>6028484

>Probably was a closet gay, or sexually abused as a child. It's usually one of these two things.

I'm intrigued, care to elaborate Anon?

>>6028583
It's a food and drink board I see no anime here. And yes absolutely you people sicken me. Out of all the drugs you losers get addicted to the worst most boring drug of all? Blows my mind

>>6028732
You honestly think his stupid as fuck uneducated opinion is worth elaborating on? It's not.

>>6028732
>>6028764
ohhh u upset i cracked a nerve, please explain

>>6028732
It's generally correct that when a Psychaitrist/Psychologist interviews a male, they firstly must consider whether drug/alcohol abuse is a primary influence on their mental break, or whether their past negative experience has caused them to choose a path.

Ey maties, had 32 oz. of PBR early in the evening last night and it didn't phase me one bit. I didn't have anything more, and i'm cutting it all out for the rest of the week; maybe a bit on Thursday, some for a Friday night party, but generally have to cut back because I feel like my dopamine/seretonin levels are fucked. I am not having the wild and deep depressions I did about two months ago after drinking a shit load in Europe, but I've developed these really dark circles under my eyes. I look like a zombie. I didn't have these before. I think it's just incremental chips away at my quality of sleep over a year or two that has put these on my face. I look like shit, so that's helping me try to clean up. I've taken up Counter Strike GO to give me adrenaline rushes during the night and I've got an 8th of decent weed, so I'm getting the fuck out of this bottle before Christmas comes and pours me back in. The weed high isn't even as strong anymore, and I know it's because my dopamine is fucked. Exercise helps for that, especially cardio, and my diet needs to replace the calories from the alcohol with real nutrition and calories.

Also, I can't find any of my favorite seasonal beers, stouts, etc.. at any stores nearby, and I'm sick of lagers and pilsners.

Objects to the cops name

That's hilarious. But in a real country, if you refused to do the roadside breathalyser then it is assumed you're over the limit and can still face a ban.

Seems appropriate to post this here:

You couldn't call a friend to come sit in your car and take Blame for it? Or did you crash, like, on the highway or something and not have time?

>>6028886
I kind of wondered now what would have happened if I refused the field sobriety test, breathalyzer and blood draw. I know they can take away your license for a year but can they charge you with DUI?

>>6028950
The people who lived in the house called the police and there was no time.
After thinking about it later I should have just ran the fuck outta there and came back the next day. Would have been charged with abandonment of the scene but no DUI charge. No time to even think about shit like that right at the time it happened but whatever.

>>6029022

I know man I feel you, the pain of hindsight being 20/20 will dog you forever

>>6022541
Well aren't you a cunt. OP obviously learned his lesson and feels terrible about it, but you would love it if he was in jail for a couple of months? Fuck you.

>>6024601
I feel ya, same thing happened to me two sundays ago. I don't know how, in the supposed land of the free, we have freedom limiting laws like that. Fucking christfags.

>>6026807
You really shouldn't have a license at all.

>>6029623
No, he didn't, and he doesn't, seeing that he's on here fishing for pity, you stupid drunken degenerate. Driving drunk is one of the most self-centered, stupid things you can do.

>>6029711
>degenerate

And all your credibility was lost. Back to /pol/.

>>6029716
He's right though. I don't pity anyone who drives drunk.

>>6028782
You couldn't crack and egg faggot.

Here's a protip:
If you ever get into an accident while driving dunk, have a bottle of alcohol handy to chug and make it look like you started drinking AFTER the crash.

>>6029891

Brilliant!

>I wasn't driving drunk
>I just needed something to calm my nerves after that horrible accident.

>>6018330

lel went on a kratom binge for a month. Gave me heart problems and sent me to the ER. I'd rather take normal opiates.

>>6029657
At the point that you wake up drunk like that, It's best to tank a glass of water and call a cab.

As someone who regularly drinks until 3 or 4 in the morning before passing out and going to work at 7, you know you're still drunk, especially if it was enough to make you black out.
Fucking hell, I'm aware that while I walk from one side to the other in my work in the morning it's almost like walking home drunk at 5 from a night out. You're still not sober enough.

>>6023013
Not that guys but I have been blind drunk way too many times. Still never got behind behind the wheel because even when I'm that wasted some part of me tells me that its fucking retarded.

How to drive drunk
>step 1, call a cab

>>6029891
While I would never drunk drive I have actually heard this is a solid defence and you only can get done for drinking in a liquor ban area if it applies.

Been drinking all night.

Goin to class in an hour.

Still better than sobriety.

cheers.

>>6030024
no shit? how much were you taking?

I think if i had purpose in life, i wouldn't drink as much, or everyday.

Does anyone else feel the same? Time wasting away, so why not fill it with alciholz?

>>6018229
I got 4 duis and probably cant drive again until 2016. I had to do 30 days in jail, just got out. Decided it was time to start drinking again after 5 months and i missed work today but oh well at least i fucked last night

It had been a while...

>>6018727
Aa is a good thing. You can find a group of chill old people almost anywhere in the world who just gather to shoot the shit and help each other not drink

Theres really no way to talk shit about aa since its different everywhere

>>6031434
Not really, no.

This world sucks and alcohol temporarily makes me forget about it.

I'd take a one-way trip to Mars, if they'd let me.

>>6031434
Of course. I only got to this point because it's the only way to feel happy or excited about watching a movie or playing a video game anymore. Even just sitting in my car listening to podcasts is enjoyable while I'm buzzed. A job would give me a purpose so I wouldn't have to kill time so much.

>>6018229

Really tired of relying on alcohol all the time.. Its not even fun to be drunk anymore, I drink and barely notice any difference.

Sucks when all your friends have moved onto jobs and doing things, and the highlight of your week is to kill a 12 pack each night.

>>6031757
>I drink and barely notice any difference.
>a 12 pack each night.
Well there's your problem. Switch to hard liquor. I can drink a 12 pack in 2 hours and get almost no buzz out of it, unless it's very high abv% beer

>>6031757
What sucks is going out with people and not being able to slam as many beers as you want as fast as you want because ohhh what an alcoholic jeez

>>6030472
I used to drink before class. Once I went through the whole two hour lecture and didn't retain a single piece of information. The other time it was before a test I didn't really study for. Instead of sucking it up and finishing my drunk mind said fuck this and I walked out. I need to quit.

>>6031765
Yup. I went to a bar last week and had to drink before hand just to keep from drinking too fast. Even then I hated just sipping my beer. Wtf drink faster people.

>>6031765
>going out with people
what a novel idea

>>6031764

Yeah I'd rather not dig my self deeper, already went through a phase drinking a bottle of cheap vodka every other day a few years ago.

>>6031765

Yeah I've been there, last time I went out with friends to a bar some random girl who I only know through one of my friends said "You drink like a fish, maybe its time for AA - ha ha"... Kinda sucks that eeven though it was a joke still hurt pretty bad.


I'm going to cut back soon hopefully, my body is hurting, I'm sickly and pale looking, even my family is starting to notice that the alcohol is taxing me too much.

>>6031805
>drinking a bottle every other day

My dream. Can't currently afford it though.

>>6031823

Here we have this one vodka, cant remember the name, some polish brand I think. It's $8.99 a 1.5liter bottle.

That stuff seriously caused havoc on my body though, kidneys and liver felt like there were swollen inside for a while.

>>6031833
does it really make you feel shittier than higher quality booze? I've never really drank "rotgut"

I start to feel like shit after binging on decent quality stuff for a while, pretty sure my organs would jump ship if they could
