Alcoholism

[Anonymous No.4053122]

How many of you get drunk more than four times a week?

What's your usual drink?

ITT: we discuss our alcoholism.

[Anonymous No.4053134]

>>4053122
No I since I'm not cool nor alcoholic. ;_______;

[Anonymous No.4053138]

used to. don't anymore. I casually drink probably once a week. Grew out of the childish binge drinking bullshit. on friday after work, I go down to the french quarter and drink whiskey and beer, but I call it a night long before im smashed. too old for that shit now - my drinking is purely social and relaxed now.

[Anonymous No.4053139]

Nope, not big on alcohol, just marijuana every once in a while.

[Anonymous No.4053157]

getting drunk more than 4 times a week does not make you an alcoholic; it makes you a drunk. Alcoholism requires physical dependence on alcohol

[Anonymous No.4053176]

>>4053122
I would if I could afford a few bottles of moscato or riesling every week.

[Anonymous No.4053190]

Cheap bourbon was my drink of choice. Quit a few months ago, was vomiting blood every night and was horribly depressed.

[Anonymous No.4053193]

I usually drink about 6 days a week, there is usually a day where I just get too tired to even bother and just fall asleep when I get home. I'll have a beer with dinner when I am with family. Then at home I just go for whiskey, I usually have 4 or 5 shots till everything starts to blur out. Been doing this for a couple years now, but i should be fine since most of my family are high functioning alcoholics. I can quit at any time if I really want to or need to, without any negative side effects, since sometimes I need to prove to myself that I can, but I just don't feel too well about life in general and when confronted with the loneliness I find every single day I can't find a reason to stop.

[Anonymous No.4053215]

I get truly drunk once or twice a week, usually on the weekends. But, I regularly have a couple of glasses of red wine per night. Not only does it relax me, but red wine has some healthful properties, in moderation. Red wine is pretty much the only thing I drink anymore, even on the nights when I do get drunk. I'm way too old to get liquor drunk anymore. That stuff will kill you.

Every day.

About a half hour ago, I woke up from being passed out. I ate a turkey and cheese sandwich and washed it down with 13.5% ABV cabernet sauvignon. I'll keep drinking until I pass out again.

I used to get drunk about 3-4 times a week. Drink at least a couple beers everyday. I got a DWI, I can't drink on probation. (fuck the state, fuck the fucking county) Was actually not really drunk that night. Shit is so depressing, man. Haven't had a drink in 4 months. Feels too sober but I am at normal weight again and pretty goddamn healthy now, so theirs that...

[Anonymous No.4053275]

>>4053157
This. Alcoholism =/= getting drunk a lot. I used to get drunk every day of the week for nearly 2 years straight. When I got the inevitable DWI from it, part of my probation was no drinking whatsoever, and screening for alcoholism, as when I was arrested, I had a BAC of 0.25. As much as I admitted drinking, everyone I saw hated to admit it, but I wasn't alcoholic. They would have loved to have claimed I was, because then I would have had to have gotten treatment for it, which would mean me paying them a lot of money, but they couldn't diagnose me as one, no matter how hard they tried. I never got DTs, I never got the shakes, or anything like that. I'm just a severe drunk.

[Anonymous No.4053277]

I usually drink about 12 beers a night...

That probably seems odd to an alcoholic to have beer as a preferred drink, but I pretty much just get off from work at 5:00, then play video games, watch tv, or browse the internet until about 1:00am, all with a beer in my hand.

I should probably stop, but I have no real will to.

my ex has been drinking every night for weeks, Im worried about her

[Anonymous No.4053400]

I get drunk about 95% of the time. At night. For about 3 years now. Hasn't affected any work or personal relationship. I do it to unwind and enhance video game experiences. Also to sleep; if I don't drink I'm up till 5am.

[Anonymous No.4053437]

When we hvemoney I feel like I drink 4-5 days a week. It doesn't really effect my life and I wait till the sprout is in bed. I feel like i do it because I'm bored. I need a job, but this whole raising a kid thing gives one cabin fever. I think it being winter has a lot to do with it. It gets dark so early, I'd go out for a walk but you can't after dark in this neighborhood. Husband only drinks when I suggest it, I didn't notice until i got pregnant and he almost never drank. Makes me feel kind of bad, but we have fun watching movies and having sex when we drink... but we have fun doing those things anyway.

I worry a little because my dad was an alcoholic, but as it is right now I think I'm alright. I just have to make it through the next few months, once I have my own job I won't be so bored and I'll cut down.

[Anonymous No.4053445]

get drunk? Physically; probably once every week or two. Legally;every day. I don't remember the last day I didn't have a single drink.

my weapon of choice is vodka, but in a pinch (like tonight for example, when I ran out of vodka but all the liquor stores were closed) I will use whatever I can get my hands on, in this case a few bottles of wine to hold me over until the liquor stores open up in the morning

For those that drink in this thread: do you think it's a problem? Have you ever just stopped so you could save money?

I've slowed down so that it saves money. But beer seems to aid digestion at the very least.

[Anonymous No.4053474]

>>4053462

Yes on the problem, no on the stopped to save money. Like most alcoholics I drink the absolute cheapest stuff I can get my hands on because I'm not doing for the rnjoyment and appreciation of the subtle nuances of some finely aged scotch, I'm doing it so I can sleep, relax, not shake, eat, numb myself, handle social situations, handle being alone, etc etc etc.

[Anonymous No.4053491]

>>4053462
I don't have aproblem yet, but i could at some point. and I wouldn't say i quit drinking to save money, but i just don't buy booze when i don't have the money for it. When i spend my money i buy booze last or not at all.

[Anonymous No.4053503]

I use alcohol as medication. I have an severe anxiety disorder (panic/agoraphobia), and while I have actually prescription meds for it, I don't like to take them all the time, because they make me zone out and get very sleepy, so I save those for true anxiety emergencies. Anyway, if I start feeling anxious, I'll have a small glass of wine, see how I feel, and if the feeling doesn't go away, I'll have another small glass. I stop drinking as soon as I feel somewhat relaxed. I probably go through about 1/2 to 2 bottles of wine a day, depending. Somedays I feel fine and don't drink or take meds at all, some days it hits hard though. I try to use it moderately, as needed, just like you would a medication, if that makes any sense. I used to worry about it getting out of hand, but I've been doing it for so long now, I'm not concerned about that anymore. The worry is the reason I keep it under control. I have an enormous amount of self control when it comes to addictive substances, compared to a lot of people.

I drink vodka pretty much every other day, usually 2 shots or thereabouts mixed in with whatever mixer I have lying around. I always have it icy cold because where I live is hot as shit 24/7.

9/10 times it's alone and I would guess I have a problem but It doesn't dominate my life and it's always in the late evening, I don't feel a compulsion to drink, it's just a great way to loosen up after a long day.

[Anonymous No.4053654]

I'm on the verge. Usually about 2-3 times a week, but a fourth time isn't a rarity. I always get shit-faced too.

I like beer.

I drink every fucking day. Usually between 2-3 bottles of cheap wine with a high alcohol content. Big bottles. This has been going on for about two years now.

I don't want to quit, but I do feel guilty when buying cases of wine from the liquor store... I've started switching them up so the clerks don't judge me.

[Anonymous No.4053764]

I drink 2 or 3 glasses of wine, essentially every night, alone. If I'm out socializing, make that 2 or 3 glasses of whisky, or 2 or 3 cocktails, or 2 or 3 beers. It rarely goes beyond that but it also rarely goes less than that. It is as much a requirement for me as taking a shower in the morning.

If I am faced with the prospect of a night without alcohol, I get pretty anxious and will change my plans to avoid being caught without drink. It's not a physical dependence but I am pretty unhappy if I can't drink something, and it had better be something nice.

Most of you hard core alcoholics would consider that not even alcoholism but I know dependence when I feel it. It's pretty much fine with me unless I'm with family, since everyone I know IRL is a moderate to heavy drinker, and usually I'm just at home alone anyway.

[Anonymous No.4053769]

Only on Friday/Saturday night, I call it cozy drinking, which is simply slowly drinking liquor or cocktails while watching tv or playing games, until I feel a bit buzzed. Sort of like my end of the week-relax period.

Used to drink almost daily. This lasted from 2007 to early 2012.

I finally said things to someone while drunk that completely fucked up our friendship for good. I haven't drank since and am forced to live with the burden of my irresponsibility. At least I don't deal with hangovers anymore though.

It's personal preference. It also depends on what you're willing to spend.

Lime juice for a gin & tonic and tonic water are pretty damn cheap. Bombay is like $45/1.75 liters around me, and the proper strength is about a half a glass of ice, 6 ounces water, 2-3 ounces gin (I do 3), add some lime juice (or a fresh lime if you're fancy).

Bottle lasts a very long time. You can barely taste the alcohol, despite that, the alcohol content is not bad (yeah, it's a mixed drink, but the gin is 47% ABV, so that's a good starting point).

The state liqour store isn't that bad. The only bad thing is the puritanical shit where wine & liqour shops aren't open Sunday.

The good thing about state liqour stores is that the Pennsylvania Liqour Control board is the largest single buyer of alcohol in the world. Prices are consistent and low at every store. Selection is great. If a local store doesn't have a specialty they'll call it, get it shipped to the store near you for free, etc....

The beer stores kind of suck. Pricing varies. Selection is always good with many craft brews but you are locked in to buy a case (24 beers) at a time. Pricing blows (Blue Moon is $37 a case, decent crafts are $38-$50/case).

I dont believe you. When I went to treatment, they pinned every dependence they could on me, saying I was a weed dependent, opiate-riddled alcoholic habitual day-tripper at 17, which sure made the judge want me to be in their very expensive program for a year. Oh, I had to pay for it, too. They really dont look for much, if you drink more than 3 times a year, or if youve ever blacked out, they consider you alcohol dependent. If youve ever done anything else, opiates or weed or coke or anything, they call you dependent. Don't forget, they are trying to make money, and the judges will listen to a Ph.D. way before they listen to somebody who is "probably on something in my courtroom".

in spurts. usually when I'm off work or (formerly) unemployed. I only tend to drink if I don't have to be up early the following morning, so I mostly only drink fridays and saturdays

I love spending several days drunk when I can, especially during the day. plus I am somewhat blessed with the power of not getting bad hangovers, so continued drinking is not a problem for me. but its certainly not something I would do for extended periods. That shit can get old fast imo

i drink at least 5 nights a week. after work i go straight to the liquor store (there's 3 close by and i rotate so they don't think i'm a huge drunk). there i get a 12pk of budweiser and a half pint of jack.

by the time i'm home half of the jack is gone and i leave that in the truck so i've got something to sip on during the last hour of work while i finish up my paperwork

wake up most days feeling like shit and all week long is spent looking forward to my days off when i can drink til 5am, wake up at noon and start drinking again immediately.

vodka or rum

I used to drink every day.
I would stop at the liquor store on the way home from work every Thursday and get a bottle of Volkov (dollar cheaper than Everclear) and a couple other bottles of whatever.
I would get absolutely smashed and black out every night.
Many times I was still drunk when I went to work in the morning.
And I would still pick up some beer almost every night.

Near the beginning of this year, I decided to only drink on Saturday night/Sunday.
The first few weeks were terrible.

I stay away from booze since I have to run and work out a lot. Soldier here so I'd rather not be hung over and trying to run 5 miles full out. That said I try to drink 2-3 times a week. Few beers a night.
Personal favorite liquors are brandy and whiskey. Personal favorite beer is Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I did drink heavily last Saturday though. A bottle of wine (7 deadly zins), 4 shots of E&J Brandy, then I walked to some bar somewhere and bought 40 bucks worth of god knows what booze. Woke up still drunk. Not doing that again in a long time hopefully.

"Before, the experience of addiction was entirely subjective, is it messing up your life? Now, it's been objectified, the subject's relationship with the drug is is no longer relevant, it is the fact of the drug that is relevant. The obvious example of this sleight of hand is that there's alcohol use and alcohol abuse, but there's no such category as cocaine use, even though the vast majority of its ingestion has nothing to do with addiction. The reinforcement is from the outside to comply with this idiocy: say you party down one weekend, then a random drug test at work, oops! So two things can happen, Guess What Happens Next: you could tell the truth that the coke was on her ass and how could you not? doesn't make you a bad person; or pretend/admit you're an addict and agree to go to rehab. So it's unanimous? You keep your job at McDonalds and the system gets another data point confirming it is right.

"Well," they'll explain, "it wasn't until then we started rigorously treating people as data points." While I'll accept that an amount of alcohol does the same damage to your innards regardless of what kingdom you're born in, there's something sneaky about the current kingdom getting to be the sole judge of what is addiction and what isn't, but we rarely complain unless the addiction is the internet and the kingdom is China; and the reason we don't complain is that the system has cleverly made it very easy for us to abuse it selfishly when we want to, which was the plan all along. But it doesn't make it right. Sorry, wildman, you can't judge a person based on two generations of observation of a single culture that happens to be driven by TV."

I get piss drunk every night on cheap bourbon and whiskey. Usually I don't have a hangover, I drink lots of water and eat when I'm drinking. I admit I'm probably an alcohol but I've had to temporarily abstain from drinking a few times and didn't notice any withdrawel symptoms other than not really enjoying being sober at night. It wasn't so bad though, do not dread doing again. I just prefer drinking at night. I'm sort of high strung and can't really sit still and relax enough to watch a movie or play vidya or listen to some music unless I'm drinking. Also an insomniac, the alcohol really helps me get to sleep.

>inb4 all the anons say I should smoke weed instead

I do smoke weed, only a couple times a week though. Its not the same, sometimes I tend to get really paranoid and anxious when I smoke. Also it makes me overanalize things and feel very uncomfortable. Not always, I have to be in the right mood to smoke. Sometimes its better than anything.

Not quite there, thanks to my sleep schedule. I'm a third-shifter and usually go to bed right after I get home from work, and I'm hesitant to have more than a beer with dinner before I go in.

But my two nights off and the night I get off early, I get pretty wasted whether I have company or not. I really legitimately love craft beer, so I go through a couple six-packs a week, but I also keep a handle of cheap burbon around to keep me going after I've had a few.

I don't really consider it a health problem, but it's not exactly a productive habit and probably indicative of a lot of other issues in my life. Like >>4056081 said, I'm not really comfortable chilling by myself without a drink in hand.

you're does not differentiate between calories from liquid and calories from solid food, even though you do. and there are plenty of calories in alcohol. seven per gram of it to be exact.

[Anonymous No.4056318]

>>4056300
by 'drinking more/eating less' I didn't really mean calorie for calorie, just eating patterns in general. When I binge drink I tend not to eat much - too busy drinking. And when I'm hungover, I sure as hell can't stomach food.

I've got a buddy who drinks like a fish. I've personally seen him go days without eating, more times than I can count. It's pretty standard for him. I guess my point is these kind of drinking/eating habits are stressful on the body, and a nutritionally void "liquid diet" (as said friend likes to call it) can have some pretty negative effects on your metabolism, hormones, etc., regardless of calories in/out.

[Anonymous No.4056323]

actually, "bad trips" is what turned me off most drugs in general. I was starting to trip out pretty hard with negative thoughts after taking harder shit like E and acid and this started to happen practically everytime I smoked weed, so i stopped straight up. Haven't done any mood altering drugs of that sort in years.

It's why I like alcohol so much, it mostly blunts emotions, but is still great for when you are with friends or whatever. I also opiates for similar reasons, but I haven;t done those in years either.

I really wish I could enjoy weed again, I really miss the all over body buzz and those fucking munchies fuck! But I just can't seem to do it because I get stuck in my won head sooner or later.

There are two different kinds of ether.

"Petroleum Ether" is a blend of various low-boiling-point hydrocarbons. This is what you get from auto parts stores "starter fluid" and whatnot. It's similar to other petroleum products like gasoline or naptha, it simply has an even lower boiling point. You do NOT want to be taking this stuff, it's little different than huffing gasoline.

The other one is medical Ether, aka di-ethyl ether. That is the one you can take as a drug, but it is difficult to find. Part of the reason is that if it sits around too long it decays into an organic peroxide, which is explosive.
