I'm not an alcoholic, I actually rarely ever drink. However, due to father's trait of alcoholism and his father's trait of alcoholism, However, I've inherited their massive tolerance for alcohol. Anyway, I can generally drink a lot of people under the table. So when I go to parties, I have to hide my power level by barely drinking.

Anyone else have to do this?

The liquor store that i've been buying alcohol from every week for the past 3 months finally decided to ID me. I showed it to him thinking that i'd get a break because I turn 21 on the 8th. He didn't, it was very embarrassing for the both of us.

why is media's depiction of alcoholics usually violent, angry, dissatisfied, and/or incapable?

i start drinking whisky when i wake up (at 6:30) and find that it makes me more patient, jovial, a better lover, and an excellent student (As)

people say i have a drinking "problem", but the only problem i see is that i'm always drinking. i've yet to see the downsides y'all, so what gives?

Last night i tapered off the drinking and i went to bed with just a few glasses of wine. (That is during the whole course of the day.) I woke up with a rapid pulse, throat-clenching and small hallucinations. As i started wandering around, i could feel my hands and legs becoming more and shaky and i started sweating profusely. And suddenly i got obsessed with the thought that the kebab i had ingested during my trip during Nepal had turned into a giant colony for worms in my stomach. I actually thought that they were going to force their way up my throat, suffocating me in the process. Needless to say, i ran as fast as i could to the hospital and they basically said that i was experiencing delirium tremens. I got a couple of valiums, went home, popped them and had a tiresome and sweaty sleep. Fuck alcohol, and fuck me, i need to taper off....

I can drink half a beer and I'll feel like utter shit
One time I downed 3 shots of Svedka at once

>violent, angry, dissatisfied
Some people drink because they feel that way, BUT there are also people who have mood disorders that are excaberated because of alcohol. I have an uncle who is friendly as hell and drinks like a champ but on the other side my dad is an alcoholic and is the most miserable person I've ever known. He's probably always been bipolar but his attitude went much further downhill when he began drinking and the same happened with his health in general. Alcohol can be fine but like any addiction there's a point when too much becomes a detriment and they can't stop themselves.

I can't drink anymore. I have been drinking a handle (or more) everyday for 6 years and my body is finally shutting down. I went to the doctor to get a blood test and he said that my liver function numbers were way too high and then I got an ultrasound. I have a fatty liver, thankfully not pancreatitus or any irreversible liver problems but I have to stop now. I'm a week off and finally sleeping better. God I miss my scotch :(

AA is a) a religious organization that's based on belittling people so that God can help them b) not based on evidence: There isn't a single scientific study showing that it works better than just deciding to quit on your own.

So it probably doesn't work if you're religious, and it CERTAINLY won't work if you aren't.

Been trying to moderate after taking a 3 year hiatus from drinking. Its fucking hard. I have been doing a good job at not drinking during the week. Friday night has turned into a major binge night though. This Saturday I was so sick I felt like going back on the wagon again. But I didn't, I drank again on Sunday. Hopefully I can keep it under control this Friday. I really don't want to go back to abstinence.

Is it true that different types of alcohol are worse/better for the liver? For example, i've read that colored hard liquor such as whiskey and bourbon are the worse than clear liquors like vodka.

To that end, what about beer? If someone drinks say a six pack every night vs six shots will the damage to the liver be less?

Whiskey has congeners (other kinds of alcohols, other than ethanol) in it to add flavor and aroma and create a different kind of drunkenness. Since vodka is an attempt to get as close to pure ethanol as possible, the hangover is much less severe in comparison. I'm not sure about beer, nor am I sure if the amount of congeners in darker liquors is enough to make it worse on your liver.

Acetaldehyde, the first by-product of ethanol, is between 10 and 30 times more toxic than alcohol itself.[11] In addition, certain genetic factors can amplify the negative effects of acetaldehyde. For example, some people (predominantely East Asians) have a mutation in their alcohol dehydrogenase gene that makes this enzyme unusually fast at converting ethanol to acetaldehyde. In addition, about half of all East Asians convert acetaldehyde to acetic acid more slowly (via acetaldehyde dehydrogenase), causing a higher build up of acetaldehyde than normally seen in other groups.[12] The high concentration of acetaldehyde causes the alcohol flush reaction, colloquially known as the "Asian Glow". Since the alcohol flush reaction is highly uncomfortable and the possibility of hangovers is immediate and severe, people with this gene variant are less likely to become alcoholics.[13][14]

Where does this idea of a handle come from, anyone know? It's 1,75 litres isn't it? Which seems like a weird amount - it's 2 and a quarter bottles. It would make sense if it were 1,5 or 2 litres.

I feel the same way but it's mostly down to how much time you devote to thinking about drinking. It's hard but think of other things besides alcohol. Watch a documentary on space. Read articles about things you know little about. Just do stuff to make your brain working on something. The boredom will eventually pass.

Dude I hide my power level every time because bragging is for faggots mostly

But also if you get real, it turns into a pissing contest that does not feel good to win. I hide my power level as a rule, consequently. I've also noticed that girls get kind of turned off by a dude that can have seven whiskies and still wanna talk and dissect politics history and music. Especially when they don't even like that shit in the first place.

Kinda sucks that even at a lot of parties, alcohol lubricates my mind but it still runs in a different gear than most of the people I meet. Fuck man, all I ever end up doing is asking people a million questions so I don't have to steer the conversation towards what I like

10 stellas guy here

My habits seem to be changing, for the better I think. I still have that argument with myself everyday about whether or not to drink tonight and flipping coins and shit, but recently, the past 4 or 5 times I have done the usual buying beer and sitting down to get smashed on a work night, I have stopped after 2 or 3 beers and just decided it isnt worth it.

Before, as soon as beer touched my lips that was it, once I'd had a taste, I wasnt stopping. Lately its the opposite, I just start to realise that it isnt worth having more and dealing with the 40 minute toilet fest in the morning and driving for an hour to work hungover and feeling sick.

I'll still put away 20-30 cans over a friday+saturday night, but that doesnt bother me because I have nothing to wake up for on the weekends.

The only thing I need to get over is that intense desire to drink as soon as I get home. It's better now that I manage to stop after 2 or 3 because for the last 5 years I've been drinking 10 a night every night. I just want to be able to go home after work and not feel like I have to drink or else be bored as shit.

i am a steady drinker and i sure as hell drink more "heavy" than most people but i don't have lapses. i just stop deinking when it stops being fun, since there is always the next day. rarely that's after a glass and also rarely after the second or so litre. i think i average about 10 bottles of wine with some unquantifiable amount of liquor. i am rarely drunk which i quite like, although I hardly mind being shitfaced every now and again.

basically to me the trick is neither forcing yourself to drink or not drink.

Coming off an alcohol addiction is one of the worst withdrawals you can experience. You can get massive organ failure and seizures, with a real risk of dying. Top-tier alcoholics (Think 2 bottles of spirits a day) normally need to be supervised in hospital if they are quitting cold-turkey.

Going pretty good, I guess. Starting a new job, moving out of my childhood home, and losing my beloved first car have severely distressed me; I don't like change and I have lost all of the stable factors of my life, which only makes my existing depression even worse. Been drinking like half a liter of vodka a day and waking up feeling dandy, with no hint of a hangover. Started taking a couple shots before I go to work and it's actually pretty great. I worry that people will discover my secret because I am ordinarily irritable and antisocial, but with a bit of alcohol I feel happier and more sociable and actually enjoy conversation with my coworkers. I don't feel impaired and honestly believe that I am performing better because of my drinking. For a while, anyway, since I do start to get nervous and shaky later in the day. I know this is unhealthy, but if the alternative is being so unhappy that I kill myself then why not?

My mom died to alcoholism. She would drink through bottles of wine and vodka like crazy.

Long story short, she got cirrhosis of the liver which destroyed her immune system and then she just up and died to an infection that any healthy person could've fought off easily.

If you have a family member who is going overboard with their drinking regularly. Get them to stop and seek help immediately. They will hate and resent you for telling them what you think is best for them. I told my mother that I sincerely thought she drank too much, that she should stop, and she straight up told me "fuck you."

to add. i get hangovers really easy, 2 beers usually already does it for me, feeling a bit shit in the morning. drinking while having a hangover triples my powerlevel and has such a slow effect, that i need to drink a lot to get myself even in a buzzed state again. luckily i can control myself enough that i wouldn't end up in a cycle.

There was a period in my life, but that was short because I had a talk with my step dad. We both agreed alcohol makes you fucked up and he told me about all the friends deaths he had witnessed because of the bottle.
He introduced me to weed and now I live like a king. I only smoke maybe one fatass joint a day(except weekends where I sometimes go crazy), but it really helps satisfy the crave. Easy sleeping too

I work at a funeral home, I do "first call" which is corpse removal. I pick up people who drank themselves to death in this manner all the time there usual between the ages of 40 and 60 but mostly about 50 years old. I personally don't give a shit about the person who is choosing to do it to them self's but its very difficult on the persons loved ones to see them give up the second have of there life here on earth to be able to get a bit of a buzz every day off of a toxic substance. On another note I love drugs and alcohol I smoke weed every day and I drink European style which is with meals and when friends are over. My advice is limit your alcohol intake for the sake of the people who want you around past your 50s and smoke more weed.

I'm usually pacing the house right before 9 and i end up slamming 3 beers before 9:30, but then i slow down and i usually only can drink 6 or 7 before 11.

I used to be a blackout drunk case a day guy but now I'm stable mostly. I drink about 10 beers a night of low abv american lager. I stopped going deeper than that because I get weird hangovers and dts at 20-25 drinks. 10 over about 4-5 hours is a routine. Drink the first 3 or 4 very quickly then maintain and smoke weed. Benzos after a few glasses of water to sleep and more pills in the morning. The really tough part is the lull in the afternoon and early evening where I'm so bored I don't know what to do with myself.

I stopped liquor and wine years ago thank god. It's tough to get into trouble with beer because it takes a lot of effort to drink that much liquid. I always leave one or two beers hidden in case I get a bad hangover or a panic attack. Having secret rescue beers is something I wish I would have started a long time ago. I'd like to shave down to 6-8 a night over the next month and start getting healthier but I know it's going to be really hard.

You aren't just an alcoholic but you're a drug abuser and that makes it even more important to get a healthy diet. Make sure you're eating enough sugar to fight off cravings, lager is packed with sugar so you can supplement some of it with chocolate. Trade the benzos for everyday painkillers if you can. If you get bored then do what I do and watch youtube videos of fucked up idiots on youtube who are giving interviews about the crazy shit they did and what a piece of shit they are and how they ended up rolling out of a hospital into AA and throwing themselves into a bible. You won't be fucking bored then when you hear the shit that these people come out with, it'll make you want to do better, do something with your life

You're probably going through light withdrawal symptoms from the fact you're not getting anything. Since you've been drinking a moderate amount for about a month, you should be fine, though I would call in sick for work once if you can afford it.

Once you start having massive sweats, shaky hands, closed and open eye hallucination, the worst nightmares you can imagine, and act drunk despite not being so, then you can call yourself an alcoholic.

I just stopped a serious month long drinking binge and most of the above happened to me. I had to stop work in the middle of it and feign sickness, despite three days of detox. I just hope than I didn't fuck up too much and lose my job at the mediocre restaurant I work at.

On the plus side, despite being barely able to function and my piss poor job prospects, I found a nice mini-ATX Intel computer siting outside my apartment complex and it seems to be working fine. It looked like it was stolen since the VGA's were ripped at the cords, the ethernet was a bitch to remove, and there was a company name on it. Fuck returning it though and doing the right thing, since I'll just get blamed for it and dig myself a deeper hole. I just either wipe the hard drive and have a nice second larger HD which I needed, or install Windows 8.1 over Linux, put it back together, and sell it for some mediocre cash after the numbers been filed off.

I was probably about 12 and I started getting into my parents beer and liquor. Never did like beer because in my mind it all tasted terrible so might as well go with what will get you buzzed faster. Been drinking cheap vodka and whiskey since then.

Im just so depressed. I can hide it and not be mopey around people I see but its eating away at me. Ive gotten good at distracting myself and acting like im fine but deep down im burning in hell. Not sure if the drink is helping or making it worse but I have a lot of booze and often fall asleep in tears.

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 7 17:45:55 2014 No.5956523 Whats up my al/ck/ brethren? If ive been drinking about ten beers everynight for the past few years, what kind of withdrawal situation do you think i should expect?

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 7 17:56:48 2014 No.5956552 >>5956523 It'll probably suck pretty hard. I wouldn't just try to go cold turkey, if you're going to quit drinking, seek a doctors help and you'll probably be given some benzos for the wd's.

Just bought 1.75 mL of Jim Bean, gonna hang out with my bro so hard.

I just hope I don't feel like absolute shit again like usual. My hangovers have been getting progressively worse. It used to be just some mild stomach irritation from getting shitface, but now I get aches, slight headaches, and massive digestive problems just from getting buzzed. I really need to stay on top of drinking water, I guess.

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 7 18:01:55 2014 No.5956566 >>5956558 They say as you age the hangovers get worse, thankfully I dont get them yet. How old are you?

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 7 18:04:23 2014 No.5956575 >>5956566 23. I don't even drink that often, although maybe the fact that I drink hard on a semi-weeklyish basis has something to do with it.

I got bad hangovers around that age but I wasnt getting shithammered 7 nights a week. Once I started drinking daily they went away. From what anons have said on here the hangovers come back really bad in your late 20's but ive been immune so far. Ill be 28 in a month.

Macallan is a whisky that I notice fairly often in american TV programs, normally meant to show that a guy is classy or something. I've never actually seen it once in a bar or supermarket here in the UK, including some that have loads of different whiskies. Is it nice?

Anyway, on topic I don't drink as much as I'd like these days as I'm concerned about my health. I only drink 3 times a week, usually 6-7 pints worth of lager. I think this is probably too much long term, but I'm hardly gazza.

I get very angry when I'm sober. Not withdrawing, just straight up off the booze. For the first week or two I want punch people in the face for the slightest offense, if someone casually bumps against me walking by I fantasize about strangling them or beating them senseless with whatever I'm holding in my hands. Still never hit a person in my life, though.

After that monotone boredom sets in, you could probably set me on fire and I'd just yawn.

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 7 19:38:28 2014 No.5956875 >>5956669 Macallan is a single malt scotch so it's of notable quality. Pretty strange if you can't find it in the UK considering it's made in Craigellachie, Moray.

Why are people addicted to alcohol?

To me, it tastes awful. I'm not some under-age newfag here, I've been drinking on socials with mates for a good few years now, and still, the taste hasn't grown on me which is what everyone tells me would happen. I literally only drink because it's almost required on social outings.

So, I am curious because I could never imagine myself becoming addicted to something I absolutely despise. What gets people hooked on alcohol? Is it the taste? The drunkenness effect?

Yeaaaaah, I've come to realise that what gets you addicted to alcohol isn't alcohol itself. I mean to trully be an alcoholic, to destroy your life with alcohol, that takes some serious dedication. What makes you do it is having serious problems that you cannot solve [or think you cannot solve]. That's why people drink themselves to a slow deathh.

I've tried pretty much every drink for a good few years now. They all have that same awful bitter taste to them, some worse than others, vodka is particular disgusting.

The least worst alcoholic drinks for me, are always the ones that have been mixed up to the state where they're almost like an exotic fruit juice with no alcohol at all.

stop with the bullshit. i drank for five years and way harder than this guy did and my "whithdrawal" was basically difficulty sleeping and irritability for a few days. fucking americans think they need medicine for every little thing. no wonder you guys get addicted all the time. withdrawal is just an excuse to try a new drug.

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 7 20:38:17 2014 No.5957089 >>5957055 Eh, I agree with you, but it does affect everyone differently. I drank like a fucking sailor every single day and I had next to no withdrawals as well, but a guy that lived in my town died from them a couple years back.

Came home shortly after 5 in the morning. Had been drinking steadily the entire day, but managed to pace myself in such a way that i have neither a hangover (which i don´t usually have anyway) nor unpleasant residual alcohol. Though i probably shouldn´t be allowed to drive, still. Gonna go out later to buy some more wine for the weekend.

Two downsides: one, i spent a lot of money again, between 50 and 70€ i am sure,
two: i am seriously not in the mood to cook lunch atm and i don´t want to spend even more money to eat out again either...

lyfe....
