Have you ever had problems with alcohol? For how long and why?

I drink daily, but I've never felt like it's a problem.
I never go overboard and make sure any alcohol I drink fits in with my macros.

What are you drinking?

Rum and diet coke as of late, used to drink beer, but it doesn't really work on a cut.

I usually only drink 2-3 times a week. When I do drink I almost always say fuck it to caloric intake. Just because I don't like keeping track of my drinks. So instead I'll just focus on only eating 200+ grams of protein and nothing else. So I might only eat a couple chicken breasts, tuna, protein shakes, etc. This in turn will only make my buzz stronger because my stomach will be mostly empty.

2 months-ish last semester. Bartender at my school was my bro and I would smoke him out, so he always gave me free drinks. I don't drink that much anymore though usually just weekends or when girls wanna drink or go out with me.

When I could first legally buy alcohol though I definitely had problems. Would skip gym. Not track macros. Lose track of time. Lasted about 2 months.

Fixed the problem partially by going to the gym as soon as I woke up. Only eating protein if I was going to drink that day. Only drinking after work. Now I've cut down to weekends and special occasions.

Yep would get wasted every night alone in my room as i didnt know what to do with my life.it was up to the point of hiding a few bottles of rum in my desk and a shitton of empty beerbottles all across my room.
One day said "fuck it,drinking wont make it better either" and stopped then and there. Started studying, lifting and eating straight, now my skin is clear, i dont wakeup with a fucking hangover at 11am in the morning anymore and im really feeling better.
Tl;dr dont drink.

Yeah, ive been trying to quit for a while now. I used to drink 15 a day, now im down to 10 every 2-3 days, but getting any lower than that has been a struggle.

I don't gain anything from drinking anymore, its just a source of stress, embarrassment and wasted time. I can easily go 2 or 3 days sober, then the cravings creep up on me and before i know it i wake up the next morning wondering why the fuck i drank again.

Yeah but you still don't know what to do with your life

>projecting

>tfw not even interested in drinking anymore after a blackout night followed by a day of puking from MONTHS ago

Yeah ever since I was 18. I started off having a few beer with friends on weekends and within a month it turned into drinking 6 beer everyday alone and within a year I was drinking a fifth of whisky or more everyday

By 21 I was a full blown alcoholic getting blackout drunk or stumbling drunk every single day and I did that until I was 24, basically alcohol ruined my life and I'm 26 now

Are you me? I haven't went more than 3 days without getting hammered in years

I'm nearly two years sober. I blacked out nearly every night for about five years.

Sobriety is very lonely. I don't want to put anyone off of it, but the solitude does not seem to be mentioned very often when people urge you to quit drinking.

I'm lonely if I drink or not so it's fine.

Yeah, right now. I'm sitting at my desk at work, feeling like shit. I had maybe 10 beers last night and who knows how many shots of cheap whiskey.

It may be classic denial, but I really don't consider it alcoholism. I've never had any withdrawal symptoms, and I've never had wild cravings or anything. I just really, really hate myself, and drinking myself stupid makes that go away. It lets me lie to myself and pretend that I'm as funny and charming and witty as I wish I was.

How'd you manage to quit?

Iktf I've done it tons of times man

>wake up hungover as shit
>go to work telling yourself youre not going to get drunk on a work night again
>leave work and go home and get drunk again

How much do you drink a night?

I just got tired of it, I guess. I looked and felt terrible so I picked a day to stop and started tapering off. I promised myself a year of sobriety and stuck to it, and then I comitted to two years.

Get some drugs to help you sleep. I think I went three weeks without booze before I slept naturally and then I absolutely loved sleeping. Hit the weights really hard and clean up your diet. pic related.

Moderate drinker from 17-23. I never had a serious drinking problem, but I would black out and throw up in my sleep. After doing it the fourth time on NYE 2014, I realized eventually if I kept doing this, there'd be a time where I wouldn't wake up. Stopped cold turkey for a few months, and it turned into years. Nowadays if I have two beers, that's me drinking a lot.

You lost chest hair

My problem is running out of alcohol.

Joking aside i have a problem.

i'm a student and i really feel as though i have a problem

i just drink because being hammered is fun

i do it out of boredom really

>sobriety is very lonely
so much this!

tfw i basically can't stand social interaction (when im sober) for longer than a hour, although i have the loveliest of friends. what to do, lads?

inb4 "stop being blaaablablafaggot"; there's obviously no "just-stopping" this.

I used to drink a 12 pack or more a night, lately I've gotten it down to one or two nights every week or so, as to the why ... The same reasons as everyone else I suppose, mundane life filled with loneliness and stress, family of alcoholics , issues I've never fully dealt with and probably never will, just a way to escape for a few moments and it's legal and easily obtainable so...

Do you drink alone or with some company?
