Im in AZ so I consider it local. They also sell a couple of bourbons, an 80 proof for $57 and a 100 proof for $130. That's ridiculous pricing for some little craft distiller, they shouldn't be cutting a $100+ bottle with any water. According to the guy at Total they have mixed reviews to boot. I had low expectations for the brandy but it is good for $37

I went to the liquor store to get a "beer". Of course I got that, and a pint of vodka. As a seasoned alcoholic, of course I drowned that shit on the walk home with some Gatorade. With how I'm feeling right now, I'm wondering why I ever stopped in the first place. Of course the hospital trips, and losing everything was bad.. but bros. I'm probably going on another 2 week bender. I'll have withdrawal of course, but as long as I dont slip in to dts I'm good.

How do you get hospitalized for it? I've been sent to the hospitals over injuries sustained while drunk, but never from the alcohol itself.

though last year I did get severe withdrawal syndrome and temporary psychosis that lasted about 2 weeks, even hearing a truck horn would send me into a 3 hour long anxiety attack (i lived on a main road, too). good luck lad, but you should seriously stop and re-evaluate your life if the alcohol itself is harming you.

Thank you for the advice my friend, though I've been a heavy drinker since 17, alcoholic since 21, and am now 37. I had a very solid chance at life, and fucked it with liquor. It certainly doesnt matter how heavily you drink if you have even 24 hours in between. It is drinking 24/7 that sends you to withdrawal and eventually full blown DTs (had them twice), which come from months of drinking with very little food. The more you go through withdrawal, (even minor) it caused brain damage due to the kindling effect. If you are kindled, you will withdrawal even after two days in a row of drinking. For me, the DTs came late in my drinking career. A result of a fifth and a half of vodka a day, and somewhere around 1 real meal a week. Not to blog post, but too late. I still bleed out my asshole, even when sober. I have nerve damage, ticks, and short term memory loss. I'm almost certain I'm a legitimate retard now.

First off, what's DT? but yes.

[Anonymous No.16380039]

>>16380024
It is severe alcohol withdrawal. Have you ever been through mild withdrawal? The first 30 or so times, it might not be noticable. Maybe just a mild shake to the fingers and mild anxiety.. it really starts with heavy drinkers who are experimenting with just staying drunk all the time. They might notice they no longer get hangovers after drinking, but instead, they feel chipper the next day, even a bit better than they would sober. This is a serious danger zone that alcoholics fall for. Keep going with that, and you will soon be shocked with your first episode of minor withdrawal.. just curious if you've experienced any of this

[Anonymous No.16380051]

>>16380039
Yes, I've had it on an extreme level, I replied to you originally about the alcoholic induced psychosis/withdrawals. just didn't know it was called DT or what DT stands for. I get shakes the day after no matter what, because I broke my spine while drunk once and had so much alcohol in my system that the white blood cells attacked the spot (C3) instead of healing it, causing me nerve issues. Happened when I was 24 after I drank a litre of 80% moonshine in a 2 hour span. They're controlled well though and I function normally unless I get hammered, the next day I can barely roll a cigarette for the first 2 hours I'm awake.

[Anonymous No.16380068]

>>16380051
I see.. damn, I didn't know it was you. DT is short for Dilirium tremens. I'm sure that in your episodes of alcoholic hallucinosis, you likely had mild visual and auditory hallucinations that last for a short duration, but scared the hell out of you. DT's is when that shit gets so severe that your body cant handle it, and you go into a euphoric state, you heart is off the charts, and the hallucinations are so intense that they seem real. You literally act on them, not just jumping up and realizing it's in your head... they typically last 2 or 3 days and it was common to die from them before modern hospitals. I think mainly because the heart rate goes crazy

I'm too drunk to greentext, tolerance is low. Basically, what happened is when the nurse fully formed into the cat from alice in wonderland, with my mom and wife crying in the background, (of course hallucination) i just made the decision that i didn't care. In reality it took probably 5 minutes, but it seemed like a damn long time. Once I made the full decision to lay back and let whatever would happen happen, the nurse, and wife and my mom dissappeared instantly, and everything went black. but blacker than i've ever seen. i'd equate it to death, but i was concious, so not quite that.. but awfully close, it seemed like i was floating through space, just no stars and no hope.. just darkness. But a bit of quiet opera music was in the background, and they started just getting perverse with how loud they were singing, and it started to sound awful.. not sure how to describe it, but it led into a strange lecture from a voice just telling me i was on the wrong path, and that they could save me, and that repeated for what seemed like years... then i "woke up" and i was completely sober, completely aware of where i was and what my surrounding were. I felt at peace, but the worst part was yet to come.. it happened like literally 5 minutes later according to the people i stayed with
will continue.

hmm, i think there is a pretty specific thing that happens when you feel completely apart from reality that goes with benzo and alchol withdrwawal alike.. not sure if you are in to literature at all, but Poe describes it well in fall of house of usher.. to end my story with DT, some angles flew me over my hometown in great detail, like a satellite image, flew me into the hospital, and flung me down the elevator shaft from the top floor. they said "your life starts again in 321" then i hit the floor, and i woke up. was completely sober and coherent.. but yes.. the negatives catch up on you quickly. you might think you have random aches in your stomach.. you might find out your liver is near failure.

Just got back from a week on the bourbon trail
If you're ever contemplating going, you can miss:
>Four Roses
extremely basic tasting of just their core line, led by a bunch of fat boomers. If you go on thursday you can get the single barrel cask strength, which is the only reason to go.
>Angel's Envy
Way overpriced, they only taste their standard and rye. To be expected from an overhyped brand.
>Limestone Branch
Mediocre end-to-end. The Rare Perfection 15 yr cask strength taste comes pre-watered down for "optimal tasting" and smells exclusively like wood glue. Then they have the audacity to charge 50+ dollars for sourced blends and 180+ for purchased barrels.
>Lux Row
Kind of cool property but the bourbons they taste are all trash. Go to Peerless instead if you want the small experience.
>Bardstown
If you're looking for a spot for lunch, by all means. But they only taste 2 sourced whiskeys and their own blend. Sleek, modern facility but wait until they have more of their own offerings.

Willett, Starlight, and Woodford were the best 3 overall. Also fun fact, you'll never be able to get a spot at Buffalo Trace because faggots have taken to reselling tour spots not reserved for chauffer tour groups. Check the website, not a single one available.

I want to go full weeb, but I'm not a big fan of whiskey. Is japanese vodka any good? I saw my local liquor store had a bottle, but I don't remember the brand off the top of my head. Any good brand of sake the thread would recommend?

It's exactly as good as any other vodka.
You might like Japanese gin, though. Try Roku, it's not too expensive. Has a sort of ginger and faint green tea flavor to it. The bottle is also beautiful.
Should run you around $30-35

Hmm, but a bottle of Burnett's is $15per1.75, and beats most on the market. Is it as good as, for example, Hendrick's?

Fellas, maybe I'm retarded but don't fall for this stuff. Its 35% apple brandy and 65% neutral spirit. Didn't read shit about it and the next bottle up was $30 more. Its essentially vodka with a scent and extremely mild taste of apple like you'd expect. Not disgusting but I dont know why you'd want it.

that is Laird's bottom shelf product, 100% apple brandy like Laird's or a Calvados is moderately pricey but worth it.

what you have there is an OK sipper but it's incredibly flat in flavor, next time go for the 7 1/2 year aged 100% brandy. It's loads better.

Drink beer. The B vitamins in beer will help your body versus vodka. The best thing for you would be benzos to detox, but if you can't get those drink some beers and gradually reduce the number of beers you have each day.

That first drink..so relaxing. And you immediately feel a sense of togetherness with all the people. A few more and you lose the sense of time and you are filled with warmth and you feel so right and so you can chat with just about anyone.
