No. Your liver produces enzymes in proportion to how much it needs to filter.
You drink more. It makes more. And it makes more until it can't, which is when you die

i have been doing it since i was 11yo and that was 20 years. The longest i have been sober was 35 days and that was just to pass a drug test for a job which also tested for alcohol since i was only 17yo
the trick is to start drinking as soon as you wake up and continue drinking throughout the day until you pass out.
It's important to go through DT's a few times when you have nothing better to do, that way you know what to expect and how to handle it if you ever find yourself sober against your will.

Your body will start working on the alcohol, making formaldehyde, eventually causing you to be hungover while drunk, even if you're managing to stay reasonably hydrated.
As for functionality, it depends on your alcohol tolerance and how functional you need to be. I know people who regularly drive over the legal limit with no problems, and some of the people I work with need their hands to be so steady that they call in sick when they're mildly hungover - functional alcoholism is really case-by-case.

I assume the "can't" is because of damage and not because of it runs out of ingredients? is alcohol special in damaging the liver, or is it just running on overdrive too often that damages it?

[Anonymous No.17716683]

>>17716619
If it's from chronic alcohol abuse, then damage is likely the largest contributing factor. If it's from acute intoxication, it's potentially a lack of ingredients, or from pushing the enzymes to toxic levels.

Serious chronic or acute abuse will actually scar the liver - like a chemical burn - mostly from alcohol and acetaldehyde, but also potentially from ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase) itself and buildup of the end product, acetic acid. It also exacerbates fatty liver disease.

[Anonymous No.17717417]

I recently was travelling and tried this. Was drunk or had some level of alcohol in my system for about 12 days straight. By the end it was fucking horrific, truly bad. It cost me so much money, and the issue is your body isn't sleeping, you aren't eating properly, and you're hungover as fuck but drinking through it so it almost masks it to your mind, but your body is just taking the brunt of it. Basically I was waking up still kind of drunk and then carrying on drinking just to get my BAC up to a level to mask the hangover just to eat, to feel slightly better and line your stomach to keep drinking. And that's after days and days of this, sleeping like shit, pissing out all your minerals and vitamins, etc.

And that's just your body, but all the retarded shit that happens while drunk is probably even worse. So for me, and not I've had far worse shit happened while binging on alcohol, but this time the 12 days never being sober it wasn't too bad but just random shit. Like I was being a tourist round the city but I was drunk so took the wrong ferry and lost my card to get back becase I crossed the harbour and had to get my mom to send me (my own!) money just to get back to my hotel, and I was driving e-scooters every where but of course I'm drink so I'm driving like a maniac weaving in the traffic running red lights cars are like beeping at me and then I'm drunk and buying drugs off fucking homeless schizos and crackheads and I go a bit psychotic when drunk and started pretending I'm a photographer so I'm like taking portrait photos of these homeless people and they're getting fucked off with me, etc. And then I got kicked out of the art gallery for stepping over the barriers. and all this time I'm lugging round multiple bottles of wine with me constantly needing liquor store stops and finding a place to drink without cops harrassing me and needing so much water and shit it's just so difficult.

Anyway that's basically how my "experiment" went.

How do I get people to refer to me as a Pintman instead of a filthy drunk?

[Anonymous No.17718488]

Seems like the best place to ask this.
What’s the best way to break the habit without risk of DT? I had a day off on Easter Friday when I literally couldn’t get any alcohol - and that was the catalyst, i was okay, but I felt the stress. How big of a drop off is necessary, and how should you plan it? I was planning on dropping down 10% per day, stopping at 50%, and then start alternating days at 50% and nothing. I want to get to the point where I only drink 50% of what I do currently once or twice a week.

I feel like I could do it cold turkey after the first night, but apparently DT’s are really bad after 3-4 days. It’s really fucking sad how there is little information about how to get off of it properly

It varies wildly between people and you should not take advice about it from us anyway.
Some people can quit cold turkey and some most definitely can't.
I suppose you can have some alcohol on hand but try to go cold turkey. Then if it gets too bad you can break the DTs with a few drinks. You might not get DT at all, though.
Tapering works if you can discipline yourself. Again; you'll have to try it and get a feel for what you can handle. If taking off 10% a day hurts too much you'll just have to go slower.
Take your vitamin B both before, during, and after quitting.

I don’t store more than I should have - for me it’s goon (boxed wine for non aussies), and reading this thread made me realise I had gone a bit overboard and have a problem.

I actually have some benzos on hand (attavans, which were prescribed to me as a PRN) so it makes me feel much better that they can help in this case.

I’m gonna stick with the 10% reduction each day, and start drinking close to when that the shops close, since I can’t get any more after 9pm here

[Anonymous No.17718618]

I would strongly advice against self medicating with benzos to quit alcohol.
They are not any easier to quit and much easier to take a lot of.

[Anonymous No.17718710]

>>17718618
The reason I have benzos is because I asked for help, and I got it. I have one sleeve (around 20) of them that I can use in emergencies, and my prescribing psychiatrist won’t give me any more, since they are meant to be used as a PRN.

What you're looking for is auto brewery syndrome. You'll get drunk every time you consume carbohydrates. What you need to do is knock out your gut biome with some powerful antibiotics. I recommend penicillin at heavy doses for about a week. Before the week is up, get a hold of some EC-1118 yeast. This powerful champange yeast is noted for being able to continue fermenting in harsh conditions. Pitch the yeast in a little warm water with some sugar and possibly yeast starter, similarly to how you would for a homemade wine, then gram the yeast and starter up your ass. Immediately afterwards plug your ass with whatever is convenient and consume a large quantity of carbohydrates. Continue your carb heavy diet for about a month and you should successfully colonize your gut with champagne yeast.

I could function just fine up until a few years where I started to get hardcore anxiety, and in the last few months it got so bad I just had to force myself to stop. I need a fuck ton of therapy moving forward, last time I quit I replaced the addiction with shoplifting and cutting myself. I'm a 30 year old man. What a joke

The long term problems with weed will be more like appitite, sleep and concentration

Those will take the longest to get back to normal, more like 6 months, maybe 1 year
But if you have caused any actual harm its not going to magically dissapear after 2 years (more for stuff like alcohol or other hard drugs)

Settle down a little. Drinking once or a twice a week is pretty light/moderate and unless you're binging a handle of liquor each time and driving drunk, it's nothing to worry about.

I highly doubt it, OP.
Putting aside the damage your liver would take (scarring etc.), you'd suffer from behavioral changes, psychological phenomenons and whatnot.

Even though you might find a sweetspot for that state of intoxication you were referring to, it wouldn't last, as the human body is adaptive in nature. Not to mention your vitamin, water and mineral levels would deplete fairly quick.

Drinking does to your liver the same thing smoking does to your lungs. Casual use probably won't do much damage but if you regularly imbibe in it and in larger quantities over a long period of time it will start gradually damaging your organs quicker than they can recover to the point the buildup causes serious health issues.

Weed causes anxiety. It's part of the addiction process to feed it so that you're only non-anxious when not on weed. Quit with that understanding, and it'll work out.

As your liver never runs out of ethanol to process it will not perform the second step converting acetaldehyde into acetic acid
The build up of acetaldehyde will eventually cause death one way or another. Heart attack, CNS depression, organ failure, or all of the above.

Not even larping, I am a computer engineer with a master’s degree and I usually drink 4-6 beers a day, with a few random break days throughout the week. I work on cache design for an L1 instruction cache and I usually start drinking near the end of the day at work because we have a keg in our break room. I usually have 2-3 before I ride my electric unicycle back home on a bikes only path that goes along the river. It’s genuinely the best part of my day and I might have 1-3 more beers when I get home. I am having an absolute blast in life, I also either lift weights or go running in the morning before leaving work so I am only about 190 pounds with a small gut for how much I drink.

I drank almost daily for over 10 years. Not liquor but light beer. 10-20 per day. Stopped a few times but always restarted quickly. Finally stopped cold turkey this January, so I'm almost 4 months sober. No DT or anything. Just anxiety, depression, mood swings, anger, etc. It has slowly gotten better (started taking SAM-e). I still don't enjoy life as much and am irritable, but it's worth it so that I don't die. Will I get over my mood issues eventually?

Also lost 25 lbs, which is awesome. And my muscles aren't malfunctioning anymore (used to get cramps randomly and easily).

The weird thing is I didn't even crave it for 2-3 months, but now I really crave it. I was on the verge of getting a 6 pack, thinking I could control myself, but I didn't do it. A nice beer buzz sounds so good though...sigh.

I no joke drink between 500 to 750mls of vodka daily and have done so for at least 5 years. I drink it neatfrom the bottle with a chaser of whatever.. I have the occasional day off, don't get shakes, or crave booze. I get anxious all the time and am easily distracted by things around me and booze dulls it all. No one can tell when I'm drunk. I build fences and usually have my first drink at like 6.45am before I start (10 mouthfuls, I measure by mouthfuls)
Sometimes I vomit bile in the morning but am fine otherwise. Don't really get hungover. I drink because the meds from the shrink zombify me. This thread scares me cos I'm scared my liver will just shit itself one day

Same here, I buy 3 handles a week and have for the last few years. Do you always stick to vodka or have you tried other clear spirits? Which cause you the least side effects? I have been doing white rum, Bacardi or Don Q, for a while, and it seems to give me less stomach problems but worse hangovers, but I'm worried the added sugar isn't great. Sobieski vodka tastes better, but it's pretty impure and I feel it later. Any suggestions from your experience?

Yes, if you drink really high quality scotch - Macallan, Oban, Glenfidditch. The buzz is way different, completely functional and semi euphoric, and theres no hangover. I believe that the barrelling process absorbs or somehow gets rid of leftover methyl spirits and other nastiness. We had Macallan and Oban after last nights lodge meeting and I worked a full day of my office job+hauled 4.5 cubid yards topsoil into my garden today, no hangover. There's a reason people drink good scotch and its not necessarily the taste.
