I've got 3 x 32L fermentation buckets. Keep looking on ebay for the kit required to build a pressure cooker still.
Dumb though, as I'm currently 14 days sober and just about clinging to sobriety. Some retarded part of me is trying to convince me that it'd just be a hobby and that it wouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't end up drinking ten litres of it every day and find myself straight back in hell, no, this is a wholesome and enjoyable hobby.

Pretty sure I'm just on the edge of death every day now. I drink dozens of drinks every day, can't bend over or twist without my liver hurting like hell, am sick all the time, and every day off is just me lying in bed recovering and having a beer every once in a while to keep the withdrawals at bay. I can't keep drinking and I can't quit. There's only one way out, and I'm okay with that. It's just a matter of when.

Who else is too ashamed to buy alcohol at 9am on a weekday just as the store is opening? I know I shouldn't care about what some random cashier thinks but this just seems to be going too far, I'm gonna try to hold out til 12

Well, yeah. But it's going to happen at some point. I don't have jaundice or anything yet, but there's no way I'm not pretty far on the path. My memory's shot, I have no concentration, have a hard time staying awake, have really high blood pressure, am sick all the time, and constant pain just under my ribs. Honestly, I expect I'll probably have a stroke or heart attack before I die of liver failure, but we'll see.

I stopped caring what the cashiers think long ago. They all know. I used to drive all around town changing up where I buy my alcohol, but my drinking problem became so bad that they all recognized me anyway, so I just stopped giving a fuck, and just go wherever's closest. At first they expressed thinly-veiled worry and judgment, and eventually they stopped giving a fuck too. They know what I am now, so they just started going along with it and got all friendly because I'm a regular.

here in eastern europe you could get a nice distiller for 200eu (high capacity, 2-3l/h), or you could even make one yourself if you have tools and have a tiny bit of brain to use them.
That's pretty much all it is. If youre gonna be making small amounts of it, you wont need big containers so a couple of bux (for fermenting the ferment).
You will need a source of heat so either gas or lumber.

Also I'd like to hear more about this from other anons.

I went to my regular bar last night and stayed there past closing (after 2am). My favorite bartender told me I'm a professional alcoholic. I think I've been to that same bar like 6 days in a row. I don't know how to stop. It's at least better than drinking alone because I get to socialize with all of the other regulars.

The worst thing is when I woke up this morning I realized I must have pissed myself while sleeping.

I would buy mickeys of vodka as soon as the store opened at like 7 am before and I never even got looks from cashiers ever. I decided pretty early on that I wasn't going to give a fuck and buy whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. Hell they were even friendly with me to be honest, and I'm not some super chadded out normie either. The only guy who kind of occasionally looked at me sideways only a few times was this asian man at the corner store when I lived in Seattle, and that's just because he saw me every single day without fail either getting a bottle of wine or a case of beer.
Seriously to anyone concerned about buying early just do it once or twice and it's not hard to get over. You'll be left wondering how you could have been such a bitch about it when it literally doesn't matter.

My dad's been an alcky for about 8 years (seems weird to develop alcoholism around age 65).

He went into a particularity bad bender last month, and we convinced him to go to the hospital. A scan revealed he had a broken C2 vertebra (from falling from being drunk), so they immediately put him in a neck brace and he had surgery to repair it the next day.

He had to go through alcohol and xanax WDs in a neckbrace in the hospital. Felt pretty bad for him. They gave him ativan of course, because they can't let you have seizures from WDs, but that still must have been incredibly uncomfortable.

I hope breaking your neck is a big enough wake up call not to drink, but I know it's powerful shit.

Day 3 sober:

Still diarrhea, thinking today might be the first day of solid shits? Maybe? I'm crank and irritable all the time. Little motivation to do anything.

My girlfriend came home the other day and just wanted to gab my ear off and it about drove me nuts. I love the girl, but holy shit women care about stupid things.

Feel pretty out of it/sometimes sorta retarded. Like I put something in microwave, go do a quick errand like some dishes and then open the fridge looking for my food. I did that sober though too sometimes if i was preoccupied.

Food is weird. I'm hungry at night, but don't have any appetite until like 2 or 3 oclock at which point I feel pretty faint. Drinking shit tons of water, only peeing a little bit, but it is clear so thats good.

We had been trying to taper him off, so the last drink he had was about 9am, and he'd run out of xanax 1-2 days before. By 5pm while he was lying in a hospital bed with a neck brace, he was shaking so bad and so clammed up he could barely speak. By 2-3 days later he seemed to be doing okay WDs-wise. I'm not sure when they felt it was safe to stop the Ativan, but it had to have been for at least 2-3 days.

I frequent these threads, so I've read about that type of stuff, but seeing it up close is frightening.

I don't know why i keep watching porn.

It makes me feel disgusted as soon as i'm done with it. Like I saw this one vid of this older lady dildo-ing herself while she talked about the hottest sex she had ever had. She was like 40.

Halfway through, I was like, "why is a 40 year old woman reduced to masturbating on the internet for shekels?" and it made me feel disgust at everything and myself.

I think it might be because since i've quit drinking I can't find much enjoyment in anything and it's like manually trying to pump some dopamine into my brain, but it only works temporarily.

I'm even put off by sex as a whole lately. Like I have a horny gf who would wanna bone all the time, but i just have no interest in anything these days.

that is a very fast taper but he made it through the rough patch so it should be easy from here, difference between benzos and alcohol imho is that once you're off benzos you're off, there is very little chance of a relapse if you can get the guy to stop outright. Anyways good luck to you and your dad mate.

[chop No.10222816]

Kind of. You can experience pain caused by issues with liver and gall bladder, but actually locating that pain is almost impossible.
You CANNOT count on pain you locate to your right side below the ribs to be related to your liver, or to anything anywhere near that region at all. We're just not capable of locating orgain issues the way we are with musculoskeletal ones.

[Anonymous No.10222854]

>>10222829
Gall bladder is directly under your liver, sort of integrated into the hepatic triad. Big warning sign is pain in your right shoulder as it will push on the diaphragm when swollen. Diaphgram also doesn't have it's own nocioreceptor system, but part of it lays over a nerve that does, and that refers to the shoulder.

Gall bladder would also result in white stools as bile is blocked, and billirubin isn't broken down, oil shits are liver and pancreas, or just your body detoxing as it doesn't even bother trying to reabsorb from the intestines because it moves through so fast.

Generally speaking, if you have pancreatitis you would probably know it. You wouldn't be able to keep food down, severe pain, disgusting shits.

Not a doctor, just a nigga with a masters who happens to work in biomed devices even tho i am an alc, although currently miserably sober

I don't get the pissing yourself in your sleep thing.

I did have an ex who pissed the bed a couple of times; honestly sucked waking up in the middle of the night in sheets soaked in cold piss, and she's drunkenly pulled all the clean sheets to her side but is too drunk to get up so you can change the bedding.

Tolerance is for sure a thing and it kicks in rapidly. Eg: Saw a band on a Thursday night and had an ausday party the next day. Got quite drunk on the Thursday and nearly had a bottle of Jim Beam on Fri and was barely drunk and didn't get much of a hang over at all. If I'd had that much after two weeks off I would have been smashed.

I do wonder how long it takes to get back to base for tolerance though? I miss the days of having half a bottle of vodka when I was 18 and that was enough (which meant I didn't get a hang over as well).
Discovering cheap wine was not a good thing for me.

It's not a pressure cooker at all. All distilling happens at 1 atmosphere. That's why a "knock down" condenser is needed at the top of the column. It condenses the risen vapour.

[Anonymous No.10224304]

>>10224274
cooking. they also let off a shitload of steam through a hole in the top, so fill with some crap you've fermented, then collect the resulting steam and you'll end up with a very high ABV drink. you can make it much more elaborate and end up with something stronger, but it'll cost.

let me slow your roll. You need slow moving vapour into a giant pipe, 3 or 4 inches that is cooled by a condenser that can react to 4000watts at least. That falls into a collection chamber.

At what point do you develop physical dependency if you (almost) never daydrink, but drink every night or almost every night? Does it take much longer? Not necessarily talking about downing 3 liters of vodka at once into oblivion, but maybe from 375 to 750 ml each night.

That's probably enough to develop physical dependency, assuming you keep(/have kept) it up for long enough. Not enough to kill you in WDs or anything, but enough that your body requires alcohol to maintain stasis. Of course, there are a lot of factors that can affect it. If you're a woman who weighs 150 lbs and drinks closer to 750 ml every night, it's gonna be different than a man who weighs 250 lbs and drinkers closer to 375 ml.

Still can. Your body rhythm can start to expect things at certain times. Think of it like this, a cup of coffee takes about 12 hours to 100% burn all caffeine though your system, but in the evening you may not feel the need to drink coffee, but if your do regularly in the morning, then suddenly when you get up you /need/ it.

I was essentially a binge drinker at 23 and 24, but the drinking became something else entirely last Fall. I've had some sobriety breaks since then (lasting from a few days to half a month), but being sober for just one evening is getting more and more difficult.

Reminds me of a story I heard on the radio on the way into work today, where the dude said he kept waking up with a pain in the same place in his leg every morning, so he tried adjusting his bedding and all this other shit but he still woke up almost every morning with a shooting pain in the same spot on his leg. Finally he told his gf about it and she was like, "oh, that's probably me. You snore really loudly and I kick you to get you to stop".

What that really reminded me of, though, was this time with my last girlfriend (like 3 years ago now), where we were out doing something and I was like, "fuck, my entire body is sore. I don't remember exerting myself anytime recently." And then she got all surprised and was like, "you don't remember having sex for like an hour last night?" Yeah, apparently I got super affectionate and gave her a good lay (rare at those times), then admitted the next morning that I was blackout drunk and didn't remember any of it.

Heey there fellow al/ck/ies - here's my story, just felt like sharing.
I've been drinking everyday for about 3 years. About 7-8 cans of 8-9% cider/beer. Mostly been functional (not missing work etc. although im pretty sure all my colleagues knew at this point). Things got slowly worse as I started drinking before work and sometimes even brought a cheeky can of cider to work with me. Anyway there was another problem - I didnt get the shakes or withdrawal because I was also on zopiclone (antibenzodiazepite) which I've also been taking for 3-4 years because I cant sleep. So anyway - my contract ended so i spent a month of just staying home and boozing - at least work held me in line a little i guess. I went back home to my family later on and on the second day had some form of epileptic fit (dont mix booze with benzos). this was followed by an ambulance, hospitals, MRI CT scans you name it. My liver is fucked so is my frontal cortex, with a chance for recovery though. Last drink i had was on Feb 12th - dont really get cravings - the only downside is that now my family looks at me like I'm scum. Just felt like sharing anons. There's a small bonus though - now instead of drinking I cook a lot more.

Yo i'm in a similar position. 25y/o man that never daydrinks and for the most part sticks to weekend drinking. When I drink I drink pretty damn heavy though, like 500-750ml in a night, and sometimes go on benders. I've just been on one of my longest benders (1 week, only drinking at nights) and this is day 3 of sobriety. I feel normal during the day (~60 resting HR, healthy blood pressure, etc) but my body expects the alc to come at night. Currently sitting in this thread because I know I can't fall asleep as long as my heart is going at a resting 75 and beating hard enough to feel it.

If you're asking these questions because you're trying to gauge if you really need to stop: the answer is fucking yes. Stop. I'm hard quitting right now, this is day 3 for me, so join me.

Hey al/ck/, longtime lurker here.

Had some severe problems with alcohol - used to drink up to 100 standard drinks per week when it was really bad. I've withdrawn from Benzos twice, and alcohol twice. The last time was around two years ago, where I was routinely downing 12+ drinks on a weeknight and waking up with the shakes, and binging on the weekends so bad I'd be fighting depersonalization all day monday.

I began drinking semi-frequently again, and while I feel I have it under control this time, I am worried about habituation and withdraws setting in even from casual usage. I drink 2-3 nights per week, sometimes in succession, with between 1-3 drinks.

Does anyone think I'll start becoming physically addicted to alcohol again or begin experiencing cravings if I keep drinking at my current rate? I've read about kindling and honestly don't know if I'm being over dramatic about it. I don't mind quitting alcohol permanently, but I also like to go out with friends to the bar and have a nightcap after a long day.

[Anonymous No.10225681]

Honestly, if you have been an alcoholic in the past, you're treading very dangerous waters. People relapse after 20 years of sobriety. Your drinking right now is absolutely non-problematic-- if you can keep it to that, and maybe take the odd month off or something, you might be OK. But it's unfortunately true that very few people can return to and maintain a healthy relationship with alcohol after they cross that barrier of addiction.

So what's the spirit of this thread: connoisseurs of fine alcoholic beverages, or degenerate alcoholism? Perhaps both, but whenever I've been binge drinking for more than a few weeks, I tend to buy whatever's cheap and high in alcohol content.

Speaking of spirit, I've always wanted to ask, what's your favourite cheap, commercial whiskey? At the £20/$30 range, see pic for examples.

I personally drink Scotch so I buy Bell's (which is the most popular whiskey in Scotland), I don't find Johnnie Walker to taste much better to be honest.

I usually drink red wine (Shiraz and Cabernet), which is why I've never bothered with expensive whiskeys, don't really have the palate to tell the difference between a £20 and a £50 bottle. Daily wine drinking, however, does get boring, so I venture into whiskeys and beers about once a week.

>Some of them aren’t as bad as they seem, but they embarrass me.

The truth is that the most embarrassing things are often forgotten by others.

Family and friends will bring up events with tangible damage: crashing your car, breaking the law, getting into fights, ending up in hospital -- these are the stories others remember. But to us, they're just past mistakes.

What they won't bring up (unless to laugh about it) are the times you made a fool of yourself. But these are the things that haunt us the most. The time I told a girl I loved her, or cried in front of friends, or confessed an eating disorder.

I would crash a car a thousand times if I could erase the memories from their heads. I am now in a routine of getting black out drunk to block out these thoughts every day, and once I am drunk, I self-harm to "punish" myself from having been such an idiot.

If I have to live one sober moment dealing with these memories I'd just kill myself.

Spent most of 20s drinking at least a six pack every night, often much more. Had about an 8 month stretch more less sober at 26 then slipped back into it. Finally started moderating about a year ago, getting myself down to drinking 5 days a week, then 4 then 3. Had my last Drink in early January now, about to turn 30 in the next couple of days.

I've had pain in my guts and constant bloating since I stopped that my doctors don't seem to be taking terribly seriously. I find myself terrified of how much permanent damage I may have done.

Same

I'm almost 26 and I have hit it really hard for the past year. Drinking most nights and just going on benders all weekend, with 20+ drinks a day on some weekends.

I quit on tuesday cold turkey and I feel retarded. I haven't had a solid shit all week. Legit brain fog. I was anxious as fuck, sweaty and sort of shaky. Threw up a little blood a few months ago so I went to ER. They ran blood work and everything was fine so I just went back to fucking drinking lol.

Maybe we will make it my dude. I know I can't moderate, but best of luck to you if you can. I moderate for a few weeks but just end up going back on benders once I start getting WD from a tough weekend. The fear always brings me back. Plus I think I get kindling at this point.

“We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man.”

I could have written this. Let give you some hope. 30 is still young. If you quit drinking at 40, damage is permanent -- you would have already reduced your life expectancy by 5-10 years by then. But at 30, the liver can regenerate (unless you've already scarred it). It's the same with smoking: if you quit before 30, after a decade of abstinence your lungs will return to their normal state.

30 isn't some magical number, it's just around the time when your body's ability to heal starts to weaken. Obviously make sure that you eat well and exercise, and look into fasting down the line (if you're medically illiterate, I advise you to be very careful, but if done right, fasting can help with liver scarring).

Very similar experience here. It's weird, I'm 28 and I spend a lot of time at bars, go to AA sometimes, socialise quite often with people my age, and yet, I very rarely see people under 30 with alcoholism as severe as us. Of course young people like to binge drink on weekends but they turn it off outside of parties.

With regards to permanent damage, see >>10226726

Like whatever works for ya, but it just feels like a slogan factory sometimes. Every now and then i'll hear some nugget of truth from somebody. I've also noted that when women share it's almost always dumb shit.

But yea, i dunno how i got here. I see lots of people my age get plowed all weekend, but then just have a minor hangover and then not drink for like 2 weeks. I can't do that. I get drunk for at least 2 days in the row and I get the fucking fear so bad I can't function.

Hey dude I'm sure you've heard other people say these things but they all helped me a little.

I forced myself to start jogging on a regular schedule, this forced me to stop drinking on nights before a jog.

I started sitting down to read my work development stuff right when I would normally start drinking. Spending an hour on this to get past that "it's time to start drinking" feeling helped.

I bought a fucking 40k kit to sit and work on when I absolutely could do nothing else, just to make sure I constantly had something in my hands.

I forced myself to call my brothers and booted up decade old games to play with them, if I needed someone there.

Maybe 6 weeks sober now, and at least I feel like I'm in control of my choices again.

That's probably true for most of the people here and I accept that, but there's still some things you should take into account. First, you can't really talk about these health risks in terms of absolute age limits for quitting because, secondly, besides age and amount of alcohol consumed etc., there are loads of other factors to take into account. Someone drinking mostly beer and wine combined with a relatively healthy diet will be better off over 20 years than someone drinking exclusively hard liquor on barely a meal a day, for example. Your liver doesn't throw in the towel just because you turned 40 last week.

Again, there are more variables than calories alone. Different water/ethanol ratios would generally mean different rates of ethanol ingestion, for one thing.

IIRC research has shown (citation needed, I know) that a preference for specific types of alcohol is culturally bound and as such is connected to cultural and regional diets which also influence general health. It makes an obvious difference if your diet consists of large quantities of red wine, leafy greens and olive oil as opposed to lots of beer, bread and fried potatoes.

You can do it on your own. You just have to have the drive to want to. People are wired differently though so it is tricky. Only good things I've heard from AA is "A day at a time" and "Cunning, baffling, and powerful" but if you just remember all the bad shit from drinking when you're sober you'll stay sober. I personally just think about alchohol like "meh, not that great" and move on. I also distract myself with other shit alot. Boredom is the #1 problem for alchoholics. Why do you think most AA meetings are at 5-7PM. That's the time most people think about drinking plus they're usually bored as shit. I agree that most of the time AA is the same people, same stupid stories, and a dick measuring contest to see who can be the most noble person there. Not everyone needs it and it only has like a 10% success rate. Plus in AA all they do is constantly talk about drinking so you constantly remember drinking when in reality if you didn't go to meetings you would probably only think about it a couple times a day if that (sometimes even forget it completely except for random times) as time goes on.

Not entirely true. The minuscule fractures that take place in bones and joins upon impact actually improve bone density. Marathon winners don't suffer with arthritis more than than normal people.

But you're right that for the majority of people who are overweight or can't run properly, it's better to just swim or walk. I personally walk two hours a day and run once a week. I added running since I was getting knee pain, paradoxically, working *against* the pain helped.

My classmates are drinking right now without me, although we "never drink if someone's not present", I'm a secondary character
I might visit a friend tonight to have some beers
how are you doing?

I was feeling optimistic last night about not drinking today, but now I'm out of xanax and the weekend is beckoning.

I can relate to the being a secondary character. I feel like of my group of buddies everyone still likes me, but I might be their least favorite. I don't really blame them, I'm the least fun.

They might be more addictive, but alcohol is about as deadly. Getting off booze if you're a serious long-time alcoholic can literally kill you. Doing something good for yourself can make you fucking die.

>The truth is that the most embarrassing things are often forgotten by others.
I have been back and forth on this subject for years. I used to be comforted by the thought that since people are infinitely more concerned with their own lives than they are yours, they probably don't even remember all the horribly embarrassing things about you that you torture yourself over. In fact, they probably have their own embarrassments to occupy their thoughts, and really truly spend so little time thinking of you that they genuinely don't remember all the stupid things you have done.

But then I started thinking that since people are so disinterested in others, we only really ever store a few facts about them in mind. And wouldn't it make sense that those facts be the most notable ones? And aren't your fuckups notable? Isn't it possible that things are worse than you imagine: not only do people remember your embarrassments, but that they are a disproportionately large piece of what you are remembered for?

This is a great approach, thanks for putting it into words (I think the same way but I didn't know how to explain it)
My only consolation is that further interaction in a normal fashion overrides the fucked uppery people associate you with, given that your mistake was a little cringy one (like pissing yourself or throwing a tantrum)

If you want a decent idea of how to do these types of videos, check out Kenji's YT channel and some of his videos.
Also, please learn to how to hold a knife and how to grip things that you're cutting. You spooked me with that mushroom, lad.

It seems like you have good intentions but this is a TERRIBLE thing to post on an alcoholics board.

Alcoholics always make excuses for "just one more drink" or "just one more night". You just gave this guy an excuse to keep drinking into his 30s, because his drunk brain will say "oh that guy said 40 is the limit, so as long as I stop before then I'll still be fine".

It's similar to how I always relapse, I go sober for even like a month, then I say "eh, lemme just have a drink or two and play some overwatch, i know I can contain it" then one turns to fucking 10 and one day turns to a week and next thing I know I'm shaking and bloated and miserable.

Even if what you wrote is true, giving hope to an alcoholic that they're "not that bad" of an alcoholic is a terrible idea.

I dunno what you're talking about dude, your voice is like 8/10 would listen to you narrate an audiobook.

Pretty dope video though I enjoyed it. Like others are saying though PLEASE curl your fingertips when chopping, even if you're safe about it you're gonna give everyone watching anxiety with that.

You used the wrong photo for the thread. I'm too drunk to catalog this shit. It's not hard. Black out, dammit. I'm sorry. Does anyone one keep a drunk journal and sometimes you read old entries and your feel chilled 'cause it's like last year you wrote something and you reread and and think " I was just there and just said that and I haven't done anyything and nothing's changed and why does the ycle not stop?

My best booze buddy is moving away to live with his girlfriend and I'm glad because it means we won't be driving eachother to drink instead. I know I'll miss him, but I'm also glad that being away from him will help us both. It's sad that our friendship has found this choke. I'm not sure how to feel about losing our buddy buddy.

I didn't drink anything today. Depression is at its worst in a decade and I just laid in bed all day but at least I didn't get trashed. Going out probably would have helped my mood but just causes the other obvious problems.
