/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Been drinking my vodka since 10:00am, jack shit to do today making a struggle meal of brown rice and canned soup for lunch. What's up with fellow al/ck/s?

Or is this shit just dead because of shitposting and raids?

this will be my seventh day in a row without drinking. Longest I've gone in 3 years. I'm kinda curious to see if my life will improve. I miss drinking so much already

>>9520474
'Grats on your sobriety. I went a few days but couldn't stop shaking. I guess I didn't taper well enough. No seizures, though. You been doin' alright? The anhedonia is what gets me the worst.

>>9520534
no seizures or anything serious. i was insomnia for the first half of the week. now im exhausted and sleep almost 12 hours/day. anhedonia/boredom usually hits and makes me start again. Im trying to think a bit more long term and just experimenting with the idea of being sober, just checking it out, I can always go back to being a drunk

Has anyone here tried this? I'm wondering if it's worth getting for someone who hasn't tried that many bitter alcohols

I fell for the Jack Daniels Meme, I hated it.
It was too sweet and tasted like corn.
I ended up throwing half the bottle over the fence into the field where the neighborhood mormon kids play.
Hopefully they find it and become alcoholic

>>9520876

>tfw drank 17 beers last night and some jack

God damn

Anyone else given up on having a gf?

>>9520876

>>9521459
Yeah. I'm too anxious all the time and hate myself

>>9521480
Yup, Me too. Both of those things, Hate myself and I'm too anxious to even speak to ugly women.


I just hire sex workers about once every 5 months to keep me sane

>>9521481
There's more to life than having a significant other but we are made to be with and care for women. People cope with worse I suppose.

At least we'll never be cheated on, divorces or pay alimony.

>>9521486
That's true. Or have kids...

My brothers life is ruined because he had 2 kids back to back. Guy literally works every moment of every day and now he's stuck with the kids mother because he doesn't want to do the joint custody thing and confuse his kids.

I feel so fucking bad for him. Guy hasn't slept longer then 8 hours or had 1 day off in probably years.

I ALMOST got married when I was 24, I'm so fucking glad I didn't. That woman turned out to be nuts after we broke up anyway, She is in prison now.

tatratea 52 is delicious

>>9520474
I would consider joining an intensive outpatient program. They last a month and aren't like gay AA meetings

>>9521490
Lol. Women can be fun but most of the time in between sex sucks and is more work than anything else.

>>9521535
Also true.


But at the same time having a woman who is truly in love with you and looks at you like you are God is an amazing feeling.

All I ever wanted in my life was a real ride or die chick, I finally got one years ago and fucked it up by cheating on her half a dozen times openly.

Gonna have a couple beers to give me a jolt. Going to see bladerunner in an hour and a half

>>9520366
Beer and wine since about 7 am today, awake since 3 am. Puked a couple hours ago but had a full dinner now.

>>9520876
What is even the point of posting this in every thread. Fuck off, I'm really serious.

Gin!

>>9521459
I haven't given up but I honestly never seriously consider it anymore. I just don't feel anything.

>>9521490
Can someone explain to me why everyone on earth wants to continue their bloodline? Honestly you're saving lives to not have children.

>>9521540
You didn't want her at all or gave a shit about anything if you cheated that many times.

This desu. I've been broken emotionally for years.

At this point I don't want to find someone because I know I wouldn't be able to offer anything.

>>9521778
Yeah it sucks. I've worked jobs before but I just hate it. I'll work again but it seems so unlikely I'll find something I like doing that will lead somewhere. I don't want to use my degree, completely disillusioned with it and I never wanted to be a teacher.

>>9521785

What is this, the 90s? RS or bust. Or make your own.

>>9521780
I had an existential crisis at 19 and 20 and now 7 years later I purposefully don't want to bring another life into this world. I'm not saying never, but I really doubt I would anyway at this point.
People in the world have to fuck up so many things and so many other lives just to try to feel good about themselves and justify their existence when nothing really means anything.

>>9521785

After drinking Russian standard for a couple years, I recently tried Stoli again (which was my go to vodka before) and to be honest it's not that great. RS is incredible. I usually try to keep a bottle in my freezer.

I couldn't burn my house down if I tried. Electric heating is very safe. It's like a coffee maker. They'll fail once every 20k tries. If you were using propane, I get it.

I want to get into homebrewing, but I don't even know where to begin. It's like rocket science.

>>9521850

Pretend you're canning tomatoes. That's about how dangerous it is. You're working with 1 atmosphere of pressure in an 8 gallon pot that gives you either 65% spirit or 94% spirit. entirely away from the heat source.

>>9521870

It's not. It's pretty simple when you learn the basicis. I laid these down sept 9th, and I'm drinking off them now. Not even 1/4th through them and they cost me about 120 bucks total. And I drink like a fish.

>>9520580

ive thought about this as well. thinking back i drank when i was a teenager on friday or saturday night when i was fucking around with my buddies but i was never hungover.

from like 18-25 or 26 i barely drank at all. i can barely remember ever even buying booze back then much less really being drunk unless it was a special function like a work dinner or something. but even then it was like on the weekend or something.

unfortunately ive slipped into a habit of drinking really fucking hard friday and saturday, being insomniac on sunday night and feeling dead on monday. feeling good on tuesday because i didnt drink on monday, drinking on tuesday and staying up way too late and being hungover. then feeling like shit wednesday, not drinking thursday and then back to hard pounding friday and saturday.

the problem is i just cant stop until im like, hammered. so ill go out and have a nice dinner with the gf and have a few drinks, then when we get home i start pounding beers until im incoherent and i stay up hours past when she falls asleep. or ill start playing vidya and crack a beer and keep drinking until i can barely play and keep dying because my coordination is shot. the problem is when i stop, unless i go straight to bed, i start feeling sick almost immediately and get a headache and feel sore. this totally destroys my productivity. when i was in my non drinking phase i would go on bike rides, go shooting in the swamp, dirt bike all kinds of shit. now i just sit around hungover all fuckin day and miserable.

the other problem is the gf isnt the most supportive of not drinking & generally is content to sit around and do nothing on the weekends, minus going out and... drinking at night.

about 6 weeks sober now and just going to keep going. I miss being drunk all the time and think about buying alcohol. Idk... like today I was thinking about how I was in the hospital after having a seizure and all the doctors and nurses taking care of me. It was nice and they want me to fix my alcohol problems because if I start drinking again I know I'll end up in the hospital again ..

I got
Red and white vermouth
Campari
Gin
Absinthe
Jameson
Grapefruit bitters
Prosecco
Brut Champagne
Need help making a kickass cocktail with absinthe

>>9521912
also I could tell drinking was killing me but since I have have this weird romance with the idea of me dying ... it's like "good at least I'm drunk and going to die" but really I can see where I'm hurting others when i am drunk. Struggling with life things while being sick and drunk sucks.

>>9520366
Had dental surgery so I am off of most solid food for fucking six months.

Can I get proper nutrients from drinking?

I know that it depends from person to person, but how often do you think can a skelly bingedrink per week without becoming physically dependant. I don't want brain damage ;_;

>>9522006
Physical dependency isn't an issue, however the mental dependency will stay with you a lifetime.
You also can do more damage to your body by binge drinking then stopping completely.
If you have the will power 2 days on, 3 days off, even better if you can be a weekend warrior and just stick to boozing on fri/sat.
But then you will start boozing on Sunday because why not, your hungover, bored and nothing to do.
Then dealing with a hangover on Monday, becomes a problem so why not top up on a Monday, maybe you make it through Tuesday, but the alcohol has never left your system completely, Wednesday you are dehydrated so you drink on the evening, fast forward a few months and you are drinking 5 days a week and differentiate between drinking and getting drunk, and you find out all the neat little tricks, like slamming shots and not eating :))))))

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind
>>9522058
Fuck, that described me perfectly. I even considered drinking during lectures. There's just something about alcohol that keeps pulling me back

You guys have it hard. Drinking a cup or two of wine per day is pretty good, but going entire bottles must suck. How do you guys sustain yourselves?

>>9521459
Haven't had one for 7 years. Feel like I have nothing to offer so don't even try. Actually I don't even meet anyone to try. I haven't met anyone new in like 5 years. The few people I have left in my social circle I see maybe once or twice a year. The girls I know are all married or someone I wouldn't want to be with. I really just live a pretty lonely existence.
Trying to quit drinking heavily, aiming for occasional beers. 3rd day without spirits. God life is boring. Feel like I need beer or something.

>>9521725

>>9522185

>>9522086

>t;alcoholic

>>9522197
>Financially
I live alone, have no children, no social life, no hobbies or greater pursuits. I travel once every two years or so. I have plenty of money to waste on booze.
>nutritionally
My diet is abysmal. It's usually toast first thing for the day then booze up until about the bottle is gone then I'll get takeout delivered or cook something unhealthy. It wouldn't surprise me at all if I was heavily nutrient deficient.
>emotionally?
I drink to forget. The only real emotional toll is I feel like a failure when I'm not drunk and I occasionally wake up feeling like absolute shit. I guess alcohol keeps me in this prison of failure but it allows me to forget about that so I keep using it. Vicious cycle.
I'm trying to quit now though. Haven't gone longer than 4 days without spirits since I can't remember when.

I just got done working 12 days, 11-12 hours per day. The biggest stress for me was how I was going to get booze each day since I didn't have a free day to reload. Here I am now with 2 days off. I just spent 800 dollars at liquor barn rebuilding my bourbon shelf and getting enough for the next 2 days without having to drive.

The only food Ive had in the last 2 days in a few scrambled eggs. I think in a couple of hours I may put in a frozen pizza.

I am really just waiting for a few more years to go by, so I can pay off my house and cash in my 401k and drink it all away.

>>9522626
>$800 on booze
>For 2 days

You "win" al/ck/.

First date in 5 years out of the blue via tinder lastnight with a cute flip girl with an engineering degree (this right here probably put her out of my league.)
Was very hard hiding my powerlevel even though I was "sober" because I drove (didn't tell her I drank two longies before picking her up, though they should have mostly worn off by then.)
Luckily I have been tapering this week otherwise I probably would have definitely been too long gone to drive by that point.
Shit went a lot better than I expected and if I didn't have work tomorrow and didn't drive she seemed quite keen on staying out.
Sadly she is going to America for 3 weeks so despite having her number and her vaguely suggesting keeping in touch I'll probably never see her again.
Such is life, at-least I was distracted by my oneitis for a day. Time to drink.

Hey look a not shit al/ck/ thread.
There is a god and he doesn't completely hate me.

>>9522665

I've gone the taper with beer.

who /kilju/ here? just brewing a new bucket of the good stuff, then once I strain it imma chop up some mango lemon and sugar and let it steep up all the fruity goodness, mmmmmm, i cant wait to get shitfaced on this

So why don't y'all, you know, um... Quit? I just drank out of boredom but then I counted my bottles and crunched the numbers and realized I was a pretty proper alcoholic for a bit over a year so I stopped cold turkey along with nicotine. A few weeks are horrible but then it's mostly over and any residual suffering is irrelevant anyway because there's currently no legal treatment.

You telling yourself how hard it is probably makes it 200 times harder.

anyone ever made their own grappa? looking for some tips

I'm sorry but there is nothing 'romantic' or glamorous about dying of slow organ failure. Your hair falls out. You swell up so bad it hurts to walk. Fluid buildup in the stomach hurts so bad. You look like literal gaunt death. Testosterone plummets or something because where you are going you aren't going to need it so you can't even be fucked cranking one out.

OP here aka, 1.75l boi.
Yesterday I started tapering, I missed recycle this week so I have two weeks worth of bottles cluttering up my house but I did clean up the place quite a bit.
I've got two handles and am planning on taking it pretty easy and just sticking to beer when I go out with friends. Let's see how this goes.

I usually throw my handles away the moment I finish them because of shame

Can you get PTSD from alcoholism?

>>9524934
I don't think so.


It's even debatable if women get PTSD from being raped.

You have to go though real life and death shit to get PTSD, Like a shootout or serving in the military and seeing combat.

Been drunk this evening and had a long convo with a friend. Don't know if I'm paranoid due to drinking, or brave enough to stand up to his bullshit. He used to be really shitty and untrustworthy as a kid, and I sort of think he still is and haven't changed.

Mental illness isn't "logic" : one could get PTSD from a smaller shit than what others lived without getting it. (I don't think DSM categorise full blown shell shock from stress resulting from traumatic events, since it's technically the same thing.)
That being said, it doesn't make "triggered" used correctly by SJW.

How many hours after your last drink is the height of withdrawal?

>>9525425
idk what withdrawal is. been drinking a liter of gin or approx 20 beers every night for years and I've never had the shakes.

There's psychological withdrawals. Less obvious than physical ones, but still quite strong.

>>9525639
The psychological effects of alcohol withdrawal are legendary.
You remember Pink Elephants on Parade in Dumbo?
It's spoofing the DT hallucinations

Don't fuck with alcohol withdrawal. Like, if you come into a hospital on withdrawals, they'll literally hit you up with an Everclear IV.

Cold turkey from serious alcohol addiction will have you having seizures and hallucinating all the way until you die.

>>9525651

I was sober for a month and a half but now iv started drinking on weekends again I haven't fallen off the wagon but feel like I'm walking a fine line
Should I continue allowing myself to drink a bit once a week or just stop completely again

>>9525719
Depends on what your habits were like before and how the circumstances have changed.

Some people can do the weekends only thing.
Some people, once they've had a drop, need the barrel.

>>9524503
This is about what I used to go through when at my worst. A handle would probably last me 3 or 4 days now.

>>9525869
Whats your moderation secret?

>>9525888
Not him, but I get by filling my time with shit to do.
Work helps. Work later instead of earlier so you aren't spending hours at night tempted to drinking.
Working out helps too, especially if you can rope in friends to guilt you

Just create a life that drinking does have a part in.
It's fucking hard and near impossible to completely do. But you can make your life less conducive to day drinking at least

>>9525794
Very, but if a political drama about the merits of a perfect autocracy versus a corrupt democracy doesn't sound interesting, don't bother.

>>9525955
Shit nigga
I'm a Romanoboo

>>9525869

That's about right. I distill 2 handles at 65 to 55% and they last about a week and a half.

>>9525955

A perfect benevolent dictatorship is always better than any democracy. You just can't ever achieve it after reaching infinity iterations.

>>9525981

And speaking of iterations of american democracy, clearly corruption and money learns how to own that as well. So, new system time.

>>9525981
While the benevolent dictatorship is better off immediately, it's certainly not better off long-term given how prone to abuse they are comparatively.

>>9525990
Democracy is shit, but only because people are shit. We let our politicians get away with that shit. A failing democracy is a failing society.

>>9525981
Aye, that just about sums it up

One smart, wise, and good man can rule better than the mob.
But how do you decide secession?
That's the pickle.

The Five Good Emperors had a great rule. Until based Marcus had a boy that lived.
And then it all became shit.

IMO, if you want a perfect government, you find the first honest good absolute dictator. Someone as good as Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pious, or Marcus Aurelius. And then you ENFORCE that they must without any deviation select someone who is not their blood to be a ruler.

The Commodus problem came up because the Five Good Emperors chose their successors based on ability on chance. They just never had male sons. On chance.
So make in the rules.

No kids may rule.

>>9526008
Have fun dealing with the cult of personality that surrounds the dictator that gets rid of that rule and then the resulting civil war.

>>9526002
As Winston Churchill, another drunk, said, and I'm paraphrasing, "Democracy is terrible, until you look at the alternatives"

>>9526018
But why would a cult of personality build up if the Emperor rules till death?
Unless you're talking about someone else wanting to butt in

How would he if the Emperor controls the Legions?

The 5 Good Emperors showed that you can rule an autocratic government for at least a 100 years if the rules are good at it.
The Commodus problem came up because their was precedent for children to naturally rule after their father died.
So that allowed for a civil war if Marcus didn't nominate Commodus to the Principate.

But if you never allow that option. If children are strictly prohibited, then you might get a good system.

Look at the American system now.
If a President wanted a third term, how would people react?
Fucking poorly

is having 10-12 drinks, 2 days a week dangerous?

>>9526008
That’s a temporary problem until we fix human aging or spawn AI God.

>>9526065
Nah
You're good mate

I think they just call that "English working man"

>>9526047
>But why would a cult of personality build up if the Emperor rules till death?
>Unless you're talking about someone else wanting to butt in

People are going to idolize and worship a benevolent dictator. There will be a not insignificant amount of people that would support that dictator abolishing that rule.

>Look at the American system now.
>If a President wanted a third term, how would people react?
>Fucking poorly

Hardly comparable. Democracies explicitly set out to put limits on the people in power. The merits of autocracy are that you can get things done more efficiently through unlimited power. I suppose a rule like this isn't necessarily detrimental to that concept, but there are simple arguments to make:

>My child deserves to rule! I've groomed him from birth. He's intelligent and fit to rule just like I am. Just because he's my child doesn't mean he should be prohibited from rule when he would be an able ruler!

Simply too open to abuse.

>>9526075
I make a point to not drink if I have work the next day. Just hope I can continue getting slightly drunk on weekends w/o affecting my health long-term

>>9526082
If the ruling "Benevolent Dictator" cites a younger man as his successor, what avenues of legitimate claim to the "throne" is there?

We're imagining a future where there is a sane absolute ruler bequeathing another sane man his position, right?
What means does an alternative suitor to the "throne" have?
It's not "legitimate"

If some Joe Fuckhead said he groomed his kid to Presidency would America care? No, of course not
It's the same thing

I mean, we practically already live in a world where our rulers choose the next for us.

Kind of bored of drinking now. I drink once every two days or so, just sit at my computer doing whatever drinking until I black out. I did this a few days ago and really didn't enjoy it at all, it was just boring. I felt like I was just in the same state of mind as being sober just with slowed reactions and attention span.

Is it time to stop?

This comment shouldn't be ignored. It's the absolute truth. You need to look at parliamentary democracy over time. It's be the least worst situation. American democracy is entirely purchased, like Russia at this point. You bribe for rewards.

The ROI on bribing Congress and the Senate is 76,000%.

He said "Democracy is a terrible form of government. It's just better than the other forms we've tried." Which is basically true.

He also said "The best argument against democracy (as a form of government) is to speak with the average voter for 5 minutes."

That's the problem with democracy: people are not smart, and they are emotional, and impressionable.

Is there anything worst then a beer hangover?


I can drink vodka all day and not get that hungover the next day, I drink 12 beers and my head is pounding for 40+ hours

I bought a 6 pack of 8% cider after 2 months of not drinking.

I'm not even feeling anything. Why isn't my tolerance down?

A year ago I would black out from 6. But it eventually got to a point where I wouldn't even black out from 16. Got sick of my tolerance and quit. Came back to test it and nope, still can't get drunk on cider. I hate hard liquor straight. I guess I'm quitting for good.

>>9526561
Which is countered by the fact that if you set up an autocracy, you may have one enlightened ruler, but the net might be a faggot with absolute power

Democracy at least guarantees that all dicks are more or less flaccid`

>>9526571
Beer hangovers are fine

Wine hangovers kill me.

Liquor hangovers are best though

>>9526576
You're probably drunker than you think if you drank all 6

>>9526586
Actually your right, Wine hangovers are worst.


The worst hangover of my entire life was from wine.

Drank 3 or 4 bottles then when I woke up I literally wanted to die.

>>9526576
Were you drinking harder stuff before?

I'm 12 5% beers in and only barely buzzed.

Used to be a gin/rum guy

>>9526593
Nah.
>>9526601
Years ago I'd drink jim beam, but not since. I've grown intolerant of it. Makes me puke after one shot. Even beer makes me gag sometimes. I'm not sure what's wrong. But that's why I only drink softer stuff.

14 beers and still can't pass out.
>>9526706

have you guys ever drank steadily throughout the day and reached a point where you weren't drunk anymore? its like when an athlete breaks through "the wall". you don't really feel super drunk anymore just a kind of super feel good buzzed feeling and no mater how much more you drink you don't actually black out?

it's pretty cool.

>>9526737
I usually at least brown out during that period of being so drunk I feel sober.

I'll feel sober enough to do things but not remember doing them then next day

So I quit drinking a for a while, and then have started again within the last 3 months. I'm done with it, absolutely done.

I took Sunday off half way to walking to work, and went to the shops for alcohol. I woke up in the middle of the night with a wet bed (not piss or alcohol, no idea what), and then being sick in the toilet and downing 2 liters of water. Fuck this shit life boys, I don't want it. I'm waking up with locked fingers, my skin and body look disgusting. It's poison and somehow my body keeps justifying drinking. No more, I'm putting my vodka down my sink, absolutely fuck this disgusting shit. Drinking a litre nearly everyday, I don't want to be jobless again, yet somehow in my mind my brain is telling me to chill out and see what tomorrow brings whether I quit or not. Fucking disgusting disease, need to go through withdrawals for a week or so and be back to feeling great again. Ashamed of myself.

What's /ck/'s religous views?


Whats after this do you think?

I hope It's just "sleep" or black. Because if hell is real, I'm sure going.

>>9526802

you can do it

mind over matter my friend.

>>9526806
There's too much evidence that the mind is a product of the body
With no body, there is no mind

Look at the classical case of the Phineas Gage.
Railway worker who was a kind and gentle man
Until he had a railway spike blown through his head. He lived. His skull was patched up with metal and he was healed.
But his personality was not. Honest kind Phineas was turned into a lying stupid aggressive man with a hollow in his brain.

Your brain is your mind.
If souls existed then Phineas Gage would not have changed after his accident. If Phineas had a kind soul before the railway spike, where did it go after?

You are just your brain and body.
Thing more.
When we die, we go to oblivion

The fucking dumb thing is is I came to these threads after sobriety/drinking less preaching about moderation. I was sitting here, drinking vodka, and preaching about how it's good to have moderation and not to quit. How the fuck does my mind even think that's fucking logical? It absolutely blows my away...I'm absolutely retarded.

Came into work just to drink for free. I'm not even working, I'm just getting drunk and ignoring people. I think I have a problem

>>9526857

>>9526902
It is in Canada. Tomorrow.

>>9526904
Happy Canadian thanksgiving, My mistake.

>>9526889
That might not be the alcohol.

And maybe you were just nervous around family, I hope so.

>>9526802
Decided not to put it down the sink. I have half a bottle of toffee vodka (lmfao what the fuck I don't even remember buying this) and a full 70cl of normal good vodka. I currently live with my mother again to save up for a place, and thinking of all the money I could have right now since drinking makes me so fucking mad. 40 bottles in 3 months, absolutely fucking shameful.

I'm leaving it for my mother to take, seems a waste but already texted her that I'm quitting and leaving it for her (and how much is there), so I don't feel tempted to take it back.

>>9526949
>giving your mom toffee vodka
I get the gesture, but what the fuck man.

>>9527052
yeah, i think i went to the shop and the guy working there said it was good and i decided fuck it let's try it because i was already hammered. it isn't even a normal strong vodka, it's some schnapps type of shit. £20 on a 50cl of some meme alcohol, just for that I think I should quit.

Haven't slept for the whole night, drinking vodka during uni lectures to keep myself awake yes/no?

al/ck/

As an Asian guy, how do I build tolerance to alcohol? I tried eating before drinking but it doesn't help me. Maybe I am doing everything wrong. Any help is appreciated.

>>9527149
Drink every day. Do shots, beers, whatever you can handle. Start small 2-3 a day is pretty good for a beginner. Before you know it you'll be polishing off a 6 pack or more a day and chasing it down with whiskey.
Fuck, I wish I was kidding.

>get home
>drink a shit ton

Test

>am able to keep a pretty good buzz going all day long
>nighttime comes and I just want to get smashed sideways until I pass out

>>9527226
I know
What you said is true for most people

But there are people with a gene mutation that makes them incapable of metabolizing alcohol very fast
So if they have a beer, that alcohol stays in their system, so they get fucked up with just a beer.

It's a thing like lactose intolerance.
A man can't drink milk till he stops shitting himself

However, Asian people still developed alcohol. Especially the Koreans.
Jesus, their salarymen live on Soju
They get so fucked up on what is less than wine.

Anyways, Asians have it easy because for some reason their bodies don't attack alcohol like Euros or Africans.
It's the same reason why Native Americans are slaves to the "Fire Water"

>>9527216
Soon enough you will be waking up in the middle of the night just to drink yourself back to sleep. Drinking a six pack of tall boys, and a pint just so u can function enough to drive to the liquor store. And then actually begin your day

>>9522383
Taper off with beer, and sedatives.

It's a lot easier to manage a taper with alcohol because you can buy it in stores.

It's a little different with say- an opiate addiction when you have to play the heroin game for 8 hours a day just to get one dose.

t. Former heroin addict and alcoholic.

I've been clean from heroin for a few weeks, but I'm still drinking pretty steadily. Just beer after work and some spirits when I go out with friends.

>>9527216
>>9527222

I don't drink beer, don't really like the taste of it. I usually can do 3-4 shots of vodka before I start to feel anything. Is there a way to make my body slow the absorption of alcohol? Last time I went outwith some friends, I eat dinner before drinking. After a few shots I wanted to puke.

>>9525651
Alcohol withdrawal hallucinations are the absolute worst.

>>9527273
Having a full belly will slow the absorption
But man, you have the blood of Genghis in you.
Alcohol is like milk.

Look at it this way, you can get to shitfaced cheaper than anyone. If your'e young, you'll feel shitty.
But gain a decade or two, and then you'll see how much better off than most you have.

>>9527273
Try not drinking your shots so fast, learn to pace yourself. You want to be properly drunk all the time and not wanting to die until preferably the morning after.

>>9527287
I am 29 and surprisingly I never gotten shitfaced. No hangover either.

>>9527293
If you get sick after 3 shots, no wonder

>>9526879
A nightclub on the West coast

I talk my feelings away when drunk, sometimes I believe what is said. Mostly it is just brain clogging thoughts being let out. 1 more crack rock and i will quit i swear

>>9527270
Kudos for still being alive man, how's your body feeling?

>>9527270
good luck m8, don;t do what i did and replace the heroin with more drinks. never works out

>>9524503
Update
Went to a friend's place and told them I'd "cut down on my drinking". Drank half a handle (a friend took like eight shots). I ate twenty hot wings and then got half sleep for about an hour and a half.
The statement still stands.
It's 3am and I'm taking a few shots and watching Comedy Central because these plebs don't have Netflix.
It's still less... Right, guys?

how can i buy alcohol at 12:30pm on a tuesday without looking like an alcoholic
pls

>>9528114
You can't. You will recieve the cashier's Mark Of The Alcoholic. Everyone in every store will immediately recognize you for what you are, and ridicule you, while pelting you with small critters.

>>9528114
Who gives a shit? Even if the cashier judges you, fuck 'em. They're a goddamn cashier.

Only 15yo girls drink cider, Do you drink smirnoff ice too?

>>9528213
i'm 19

Think I am finally off this ride lads. Been drinking a bottle of whisky + beers every day for about 2 years, finally got to the point where it was really fucking me up and I just felt terrible all the time. Scaled right back to beer only for a week, then eventually just a couple of beers on the weekend. Started going to the gym and taking more care of myself and my surroundings, feel great now. Went out with some friends this weekend and had 4 pints, then went home and went to sleep. Feels nice to have a "healthy" relationship with alcohol again and not to be slowly killing myself every day.

If anyone reading this is thinking about cutting back / giving up, do it.

>>9528311
dubs confirm youre off the ride

>>9528216
So you do drink smirnoff ice, Fucking faggot.

>>9528114
Dude, if you want it just buy it. After you do it so many times you won't give a shit about cashiers. I used to buy a mickey of vodka at 8 am before I went to work and saw the same two people every time. Didn't give a fuck.
The point is the liquor store is there to sell liquor and they work their to be cashiers. Everything else, doesn't matter.

>>9527600
>plebs don't have netflix
are you having a laff?

It's been two weeks, guys.

I've gone from completely fine to getting the shakes, not even drinking every day. Send help.

>>9528426
this.

They don't care about your life, They just want to do their job and go home. They don't give a fuck what you buy and when

>>9525318
good lord, nobody actually fucking talks like that in real life. The only people who say shit like "DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY GENDER" are online trolls

Does anyone else drink more when around women?


When I'm around women I just drink constantly, I don't even enjoy the taste of the alcohol like I usually do. I just chug it compulsively until I'm very drunk

>>9528508
What woman hurt you?

I have this man that occasionally pops up when I try to quit out of the corner of my eye with a white baseball hat/shirt that still waves at me for about a second.

He actually scares me back into drinking. I've taken to calling him Steven.

I actually wish I was lying.

>>9526244
Aren't those stretch marks on her right boob?

If I were locked up in jail for a month I wouldn’t even think about the fact that I was sober the whole time, but leave me alone in a room with a drink or other substance when I have no other commitments and I’ll consume the lot.

I know that staying distracted is the key, and I’ve gotten better at it (joined a gym, getting my RSA [the irony isn’t lost on me] so I can work, etc.) but it feels more like a way around the problems that push me to stay intoxicated than working through them.

Physical addiction is one thing but what the hell can I do about mental dependency, it’s pervasive.

>>9528423
Vodka's too strong for me

>>9528540
> Vodka's too strong for me
Get out of this thread while you still can
Pretty sure all the real alcoholics in this thread drink shit at or above 40%, though there might be some winos in here.

21st birthday today boys. Generally lonely as shit and I don’t want people irl to ask me how I spent my day

>>9528508
Yeah I do this, its ingrained in my head that women are totally different from men and I have no idea how to talk to them. When I do talk to them, I always think either they or the people I am with think that I am hitting on them so I just shy away until I am drunk.

I really should have a healthier attitude to women at 25 but oh well

>>9528540
GTFO

>>9528514
Every woman.


Think It's related?

I know I'm nervous around women but I didn't think THAT nervous.

>>9528553
Dude I know, I'm 29 and get nervous around women I'm fucking related to. It's so hard to speak to them because your mind is racing and you are overthinking everything

>>9528520
You have to taper to avoid hallucinations. Or seek medical help (rehab, inpatient or outpatient, consist of switching to benzo and tapering them. It's easier imo.)

>>9528547
Hard cider is cheaper (for pure ethanol) than vodka in many places.
It also has a built-in limit to avoid the worse of alcoholism, several alkies stick to beer/cider for this reason.

>>9528553
Congrats on staying a virgin because you got red pilled.
Pro tip : female humans are humans.

>>9528654

>>9528651
> Every woman.

You gotta learn to be less of a sperg. What is the worst thing a woman could do to you if you talked to them?

> It also has a built-in limit to avoid the worse of alcoholism, several alkies stick to beer/cider for this reason.
Yeah, I know dude. Still doesn't mean the Anon i responded to is an alkie. They did say they're 19.

>>9526244
She's pretty awesome.

>>9521459
Go outside and find a social hobby like playing music or volunteering. I'm literally 310lbs and haven't had any problems hooking up or maintaining relationships.

Don't actively pursue a relationship. Build several friendships and keep your options open. I believe in you, /ck/omrade

>tfw rough weekend bender but not enough for mild wd so im just in bed anxious as fuck feeling weak.

>>9522174
I'm pretty much just like you except I've never had one.

>>9528654
I understand that. I was actually hospitalized for a few days and then I demanded to leave because I felt fine, like an idiot. Then he started popping up and scaring the ever living shit out of me. And I went back to booze.

I'm going to a clinic tomorrow because it's Thanksgiving here today and no one is fucking open.

>>9528684
Are you an alcoholic?

It's very hard to do any of that.


I only leave my house twice a month for booze and groceries, Literally only get the mail besides that.

>>9528684
>find a social hobby like playing music
How do you go about doing this? I am a pretty good guitarist (probably my only "skill") and no one I know plays anything so I just play by myself. Can't sing so open mic is out. Are there places you can go and just jam with random people? I would be down for that

>watching forensic files
>drinking vodka
>pouring rain outside

If only I had a qt to enjoy these comfy feels with me

>>9527078
Very bad idea.

Why do I feel so shaky at work? I don't feel like I'm actually shaking but I feel really uneasy and shaky on the inside. wtf?

>>9528863
Used to feel like this until I actually started shaking one day.

Video games, especially RPGs, have helped keep me sober in periods. Its too hard to do tactics and pay attention to the story if drunk, and when I get hooked on the game I stay sober so I can complete it and get the full experience.

>>9528863
It's called alcohol withdrawal.


You'll start shaking as your alcoholism gets worst, I literally have to tell people I know have tremors in my hands from a brain injury (that part is true) because I shaking so god damn much when I'm not drinking. Seriously like Parkinsons tier shaking

the anxiety is so bad, boys
fuck

>>9528875
>>9528867
That's what I thought but I thought I'd live in denial a bit longer.

>>9521785
Evey Russian living in Russia will disagree with you.
Most other people too

>>9528875
I don't mean to pry but have you seized before? Are there things to watch out for before the onset of one do you know?

>>9528875
How much did you drink to get to that point? Sounds hellish m8

>>9528885
>>9528886

Yes, About 10 times total.


But I've been drinking heavily daily for almost 9 years. I drink 1.5 gallons (3 handles) of vodka, and a 12 pack a beer a week.

I take very long acting benzo's if I know I'm going to be without alcohol for longer then 10 hours to prevent having another seizure

>>9528878
How's the shits.

Anyone here been in legal trouble for something alcohol related?

>>9528902
Nah but its just pure luck.

>>9528885
>Are there things to watch out for before the onset of one do you know?

oops forgot to answer this portion of the question.

Not really, You'll just feel shaky then it will hit you. I've felt shaky many thousands of times, but only sometimes will I have a seizure. That's why I like to play it safe with long acting benzos, It would be pretty bad to have a seizure doing 60mph

>>9528902
Criminal damage, to over 100 cars, only got charged with 15.
I had a caution for the same thing exactly 2 weeks earlier.

>>9528919
Understood. Thanks for answering and the information.

>>9528803
>Are there places you can go and just jam with random people?
"Open jam" I suppose. Look for bars with live music and ask I guess. Of course big bands won't accept any random drunk on stage, but small bands who are here (mostly) for fun may.

>>9528902
Got a fine for urination on public street.
I'm lucky, I could have had way more troubles.

>>9527216

do not drink everyday.
just face the fact your genetics are not conducive to alcohol abuse and go about your life.

>>9527216
>Before you know it you'll be polishing off a 6 pack or more a day and chasing it down with whiskey.
Fuck that is a quiet evening for me. A six pack barely does anything, and a couple of whiskeys alongside is really nice to get a chill buzz on the go

Any word from Smirnoffbro and Simpsonbro recently? Hope they are ok

>>9528962
Simpson is fucking cancer, I hope he dies of DT's

>>9528883
Fuck this is much worse than I initially thought. Only have to do this for 6 more hours.

>>9525412
It'll taste like shit but you'll get drunk faster

how do I stop my heart feeling like its beating out my chest when binge hungover

>>9529114

stop drinking excessively

>>9520366
Well, got my first DWI a few days ago, i'm 20 so i'm expected to have a year suspended license right? Not like it matters i totaled my car. And the pretrial piss tests and all. Anybody else who's done this have any advice?

is beer better on your body? i rarely touch liquor but i had some concerning shits today.

>>9529143
Beer + no food will give you horrible shits, at least it does for me.
It's been making me feel really bloated lately though so I've been mixing it up with whiskey.
I'm pretty sure it's all good for you though.

>>9529123
If you took a breathalyzer or blood test you're fucked. If not, call a decent DWI lawyer.

Do not get a 2nd one(you will if you're an alcoholic.) I have two and have not drove since 2008. Its a death sentence to your social life and career options. I won't pursue getting mine back because 3 DWI's is a felony and prison time. Good luck.

>>9529114
Drink, you're withdrawing.

>>9529143
It's less worse because you're limited in the quantity of ethanol you can take. You can still have digestive problems of course.

detest hangover anxiety
for me it’s like an eerie spooked out feeling

>>9529208
It's awful isn't it. Always thought "anxiety" was a meme until it happened to me, felt like I had done something terrible and everyone knew even through I had done nothing of the sort. Fuck that.

>>9529232
yes dude it makes me think the most ridiculous paranoid thoughts

>>9529208
>>9529271

its just terrible.

when im really hungover my hair feels weird in my hands. i dunno why or howmto explain it but it just feels thin and dry. idk

This is my first Canadian Thanksgiving in a long time without a drink.

>>9528803
Depends on what kind of music you like to play. I've had equal fun playing in open jazz jams and bluegrass jams.

Rock, pop, and classical can be fun, but jazz and bluegrass players all know standards specific to the respective genres so it's much easier to connect and have fun

>>9529287
