That's been my plan as well, OP.
Last week, I went all five weekdays without drinking, and then drank on Saturday and Sunday. What I found out was that in that one week, was that even that short period of time was enough to knock my tolerance back down enough that I had a hangover yesterday (I had been at the point where I wasn't even getting hangovers anymore). So, I ended up having hair of the dog yesterday as well. Today I haven't had any. But there's a huge bottle of vodka on the kitchen counter that's staring at me. I'm going to have to move it to inside a cabinet so I can't see it.

[Anonymous No.5625029]

A couple years ago, I went straight from getting passout drunk nearly every night, to only drinking on Saturday and Sunday.

That first Monday was hell. I'm sure there were other shitty days too, I just remember the first, though.
It was all pretty gravy after that. Got to the point eventually, that I didn't care if I drank on the weekends or not.

Good luck, anonski. Don't give up.

i feel more hungover the next morning if I DON't pass out drunk. if I get drunk I wake up feeling chipper. .. .

Good luck to everyone going dry. I spent j-term in Europe this year and drank everyday. Then came back and drank occasionally on the weekends. You can do it too!

[an alcohol No.5625135]

>>5625020

This is the flip side of the coin for me, I want to cut down so that I can, well, cut down, but also so that when I do get my drink on at the weekend I actually get drunk without having to worry about hangovers. I work 45 hours 8:30 to 5:30 during the week so sat and sun i sleep til past midday.

>>5625057
I share these feels. When I wake up for work after a night of boozing I am somehow able to just gtfo of bed at 7am with no issues. If I wake up sober, I've pretty much turned my alarm off before I'm even conscious.

i drank less when I used to get hangovers in the morning but still drank alot. I quit my job and spent a few months getting shithammered and hungover because whoe cares if you have a hangover when you aren't going anywhere to work the next day. by the time I got a new job I was a fully functional hangover free alcohol.

I drank til about 10 last night and was on my feet milling about at 5 this morning feeling great, clocked in at 7 and made the day my bitch. if I didn't drink I'd have probably rolled around the bed until 3 a.m. and woke up tired feeling like hell.

should cut back but I have trouble finding motivation.

Instead of buying stuff from 7-11 go to a bar and ask if they got a sampler of all their different types of beer. That's a really good way to determine what you like and it also helps you learn the difference in taste between different types of beer.

I have been a hard drinker for 26 years, I accept it might kill me, but a few tips for damage limitation.

Accept that its not as much "how much you drink" but "how often you drink" take as many no booze days a week as you can, I usually manage 3, its a lot easier these days as so much more shit to entertain yourself.

Try to stick to stuff like vodka and soda, drinks with a high sugar content do as much damage to the liver as alcohol does, you dont need the double whammy.

Drink coffee, many studies show coffee drinkers who drink a lot of booze suffer lower levels of liver damage

Hope your genes are good, only a small % of heavy drinkers get cirrhosis of the liver

Protip for any Europeans coming to US bars who are 20. If you're lucky enough to have a birthday where the day is between 1-12, you can easily give an ID to a bouncer where your birthday is D/M/Y, and they'll think you're 21 and that your birthday was earlier that year. Exchange students used to do it all the time when I was in college, and bars were otherwise strict about IDing kids.

So, if it's today, and your 21st birthday is October 1st 2014, you could give your ID to a bartender and he'd think you turned 21 back on January 10th.

Or just photocopy your passport and change the date on your computer if your birthdate doesn't work out. Just tell the bouncer you don't have a US ID and you didn't want to bring your passport to a bar (this also works for any American barhopping with foreigners if they're underaged).

You can't get any good liquor. I haven't bought a 6/4 pack in a while, but I think there are good craft beers available for that price. If you're not a big beer guy, I think its easiest to drink stouts - especially if you like coffee. And if you're looking to get drunk, get an imperial stout. Prince Myshkin Imperial Stout is one of my favorites, but that shit's real hard to find - Old Rasputin is a decent alternative.


If you don't like beer, do what I usually do - buy the cheapest vodka and take shots.

Well, both can be accomplished if you get a 15 dollar bottle of wine. Just go to a liquor store, tell the guy what kind of wine you like and how much you are willing to spend. Drink the whole bottle, but try and remember your impressions after the first glass. If you liked it, keep in mind what you liked about it, the style of the wine, and where it was made for future reference.

What >>5627518 said.
There are other worthy cocktails. A gin Martini (and you damn well better be using plenty of vermouth, none of that "salute in the direction of France" bullshit) is the king of the rest. You should try some more classic cocktails though. If you're making them at home, start by picking one or two base liquors and make some cocktails that use that as a base. If you're ordering them at a bar, make sure it's a bar that's known for its classic cocktails. This is important, as the word "cocktail" is often taken to mean "vodka and candy in a Martini glass" or a highball. No slight to the venerable highball, but please stay away from energy drinks, "bombs," etc. Those are for douchebags and children.

But there is nothing better than a Sazerac to tickle the imagination.

I don't even drink that much. Only a few nights a week and I usually just pass out after about 6 drinks or so. I still feel kinda weird about it, because I almost always drink alone.

Got some local session IPA in the fridge. I'll probably have a few with dinner and then switch to something cheaper like Black Velvet on the rocks or Gorton's&T.

>feelan
Walking to an outdoor concert after I get a little lit up; should actually be pretty fun. Feels bad that I don't have any cool friends to afterparty with though. I'll probably just go back home and drink and feel after it's over.

>cookan
Making a bigass burger. Got some quality ground chuck and some delicious sesame seed buns from the local bakery.

I drink way more than my mother would approve of, but I feel like a filthy casual compared to most of the people in these threads. Fite me.

Yes and then get charged legal fines for letting an underaged person drink.

Bump because it's saturday night and I'm probably going to get drunk on cheap beer and whiskey out of sheer boredom. Not that the fact that it's saturday has anything to do with that at all.

The worst part is that I'm probably bored because I'm sober, which is probably because I drink so much. It's a fun little cycle.

How's everyone else doing?

I have a mild hangover because my asshole coworker dragged me out drinking last night. I hate drinking with people, it's uncomfortable and I start having anxiety attacks when I get home.

I'm about to open my first beer of the night in the comfort of home, as it should be. It may be a pig sty but at least I don't have to pretend to like anyone around me. I'll probably watch some deep space 9ine or maybe X files before falling asleep to the quiet strains of that nigerian voiced guy on the BBC at midnight.

I like you.

I'm actually a very social person, and love going to parties and hanging out, BUT, I also like to be able to leave when I'm ready and go home and chill out. And I love sitting at home, having a few drinks and watching some relaxing tv while I "pamper" myself. (I can't think of a better word for it atm). I also get anxiety in certain situations, and have synesthesia, so being able to sit at home and relax to soothing sounds/tv/videos is very important to me.

Do you not like people when sober as well? I'm asking because if anything, I can stand people better when at least tipsy.

Also, is the anxiety because you're afraid your drinking habit is going to become apparent in a social situation, or is it just being around people in general?

[Anonymous No.5638049]

Cool, we should like, not hang out some time. Like on 4chan! It's like hanging out without the consequences of actually hanging out.

>>5638041

If I like someone when I'm sober, I like them when I'm drunk. Hanging out with them is not a problem at all. The problem is it's usually a mix of people I like and dislike. For people I only pretend to like (for professional reasons or whatever), I can effortlessly pretend to like them when I'm sober, but if I have to fake it while drunk for an extended period it feels like I've been raped when I start to sober up.

Alright, so for the very first time I decided to make some homemade alcohol (apple cider).

I found a pretty old recipe, and used apples from my apple tree. Things seem to be going well, as I haven't even reached the point of adding sugar yet, and yet already after only a week suddenly the stuff is starting to smell of alcohol.

Anyway, my question is the following: is there a way to roughly estimate the alcohol content of the finished product WITHOUT buying a hydrometer or a refractometer? I don't care about accuracy, I just want a very general idea.

[Anonymous No.5638066]

>>5638049
Ok, at least you make sense. You're right, pretending is a bitch. I'm really bad at it even when sober though, so there's a bit of a natural selection going on as far as my acquaintances go. It has its clear drawbacks, as you can imagine, but ultimately it's probably for the best.

yea, drink it

[Anonymous No.5638921]

>>5638064
You might be able to use a brewing calculator to figure out the alcohol content, there are plenty of free ones online, just do the Google.
I homebrew and I only ever use my hydrometer to check if it's safe to bottle.

Can we talk hangover shits? Is there any way to get over them?
I'm talking where you've been week long binge and subsisted on beer snacks (crips, peanuts, bread) and maybe some trash food when the drunchies got real bad.
Those shits blacker than the Mariana Trench, smelling exactly how they look, vile and putrid, the ones that don't even leave you with the satisfying feeling of having just taken a massive dump.

Also when I masturbate while mildly buzzed, and then go take a piss, I get this burning sensation in my dick and I feel like I have to pee all the time, yet nothing comes out. Does anyone else get that?

For some reason, a lot of beers tend to sit really weird in my stomach, especially ones with a higher IBU. If I have 2 IPAs, I tend to get hiccups and a really nauseous full feeling in my stomach but obviously be more or less sober. It doesn't tend to happen with beer with less hops, and I don't think I have any problems with gluten. What gives?

[Anonymous No.5639558]

The burning sensation, yes. That is normal when peeing after ejaculation.
