Gay

nothing you can do except wait until your body metabolizes it

exercise will have a minimal effect on blood alcohol level, and those last 2 only might give the impression of being more sober, but your blood levels are still as bad

stop being a pussy
get in your car and and drive
do you even lift?

>Just b urself

just kys

4th night sober but i bought a scratch and win for a doller and won 10$ so im gonna buy a 6pack gg no re

realisticly the only thing that instantly kills a alcohol buzz is cocaine

I had a really terrible day and was kind of in a shit mood. Was completely ready to go on up to the store to buy booze and then I just kind of sat there in my car for 10 minutes before deciding to drive home without buying any.

It felt good.

that .gif made me nostalgic for 1 too many raisins

Nice man.

good for you man. Sometimes when I get the urge to go buy more I just have to sit and really think about it, and think about if it's really going to make me feel better in the long run

This was interesting good motivation not to drink in the last thread so I'll post it again.

What's your most shameful drunk story?

one time i blacked out and raged hard and trashed nearly all my electronic equipment in my room. most was new stuff i had just bought

it doesn't kill it, it makes it so, so much better

is drinking 2 40zs of 211 every night make me an alcoholic? my mom thinks so

hey user, i agree with you 100%. all the contrarians want to be miserable, simple as. it sucks, but it seems like so many people don't want to be happy...

I wrote my number and a short love letter to an asian waitress/bartender (on the receipt). was super fucking wasted, don't know exactly what I wrote. hope it was not legible.

also got in a fight with a DJ because he refused to play anything other than Nas.

also broke a couple things, which sucks, but doesn't really make me cringe that much.

people ITT are gonna say that's nothing, but that's quite a lot of alcohol, and especially if it's a nightly occurrence than you're at least some level of an alcoholic

woke up the next morning with a $300 bar tab, no phone, a scratched cornea, shit in my bed, and no recollection of the night before. What's worse than making a fool of yourself drunk is having no idea wtf happened and wondering what you did/what you might have said/who you pissed off, etc.

>What's worse than making a fool of yourself drunk is having no idea wtf happened and wondering what you did/what you might have said/who you pissed off, etc.

nah, I've done both. not remembering it is definitely better imo.

To everyone ITT: What's it like not to be a man?

pretty nice, actually. i can get horny af and nobody knows. i'm also not an insecure sexist moron, so i have that going for me as well.

huh?

I may not have confidence or self respect, but I still have my wiener.

I remember once I was taking care of a friend who was blackout fucked up, puking everywhere just out of his mind. I put him in his bed with a puke bucket nearby and went and enjoyed the party, came back in to check on him and he had stumbled on some cocaine he had in a drawer and took a line. He was stone cold sober. Not acting coked up or anything just totally normal. He went to the kitchen, made some tacos and watched tv then went to bed. Blew my mind.

Not so good. Got home from this morning had 4 tall cans and then woke up fine. Having 4 more tall cans right now. Watching nature shows while drunk right now.

I'm a small fembot. I drink about a 6 pack every night. Feels bad man. My coworkers know and make fun of me passively aggressively every day.

I punched a cop in the face.

He was off duty and dating a friend of mine, so I didnt get in trouble. Pretty cool of him actually since it was the first time we met.

I disagree, it's embarrassing to remember shit you did, but at least you can attempt to apologize or fix whatever you did. The fear of not knowing what I might have done is way worse to me

You gonna shitpost in every alchy thread, m8?

just had my 4 years sober anniversary

life got better after I got sober, which was hard to do.

aa was awesome. they know how to help drunks get sober.

I had been dating the love of my life for about 2 years. She was literally everything to me, had plans for kids was looking at a house etc.

Went to a sporting event with her. Took some Xanax and just got unbelievably fucked up. Got thrown out. She was a saint and took care of me, basically carried me out to the car.

We stopped for gas, while she was pumping I ran inside and started filling my pockets with merchandise. She came in and tried to stop me, police were called and we were both arrested for shoplifting and drug possession even though she wasn't using or in possession of any drugs or merchandise.

She was 18 at the time and I was 21. Got thrown out of school as a convicted felon and basically ruined her life for a short time and her parents banned her from seeing me, although we dated in secret for a short time she never forgave me for it (i don't blame her) and we broke up not long after.

10 years later and I've never recovered. Quit while you're ahead, friends.

lol but you must have been a little shit regardless of what you were on. I mean who takes too much Xanax and starts shoplifting? lmao.

Xanax + alcohol = bad decisions. Its actually crazy how fucked up some people get. Not the person who wrote the story but Ive seen similar.

>guy on Xanax and drinking
>hes gay
>there is another group of gay guys
>he thinks they are checking him out
>says he might fuck them
>suddenly a switch flipped in his head
>somehow jumps to the conclusion that they are going to beat his ass, rape him and leave him alone in an alley
>smashes glass on bar
>charges them
>tried to cut them
>they never even said a word or did a thing to him the entire night before he charged

That's a great question. I've never stolen anything in my life other than that night. I had done Xanax maybe once or twice before that but never drank as much as I did that day. She even told me later she had no idea who the person was she was with even though we had spent at least part of every day for the past two years together.

goddamnit its only two days and im already struggling shit

haven't drank in 3 weeks on Friday. Usually kill 30 beers in 3 days. I feel a lot better and my breathing has improved. Don't give up bros

best hangover cure too

>who takes too much Xanax and starts shoplifting?

could have been worse

Test

Lol I wish. My coworkers are hawks and judge me negatively for anything they can.

Which is mainly being hungover... Smelling like booze because of the fact but thinking I'm actually showing up to work drunk as fuck...

I seriously hate these motherfuckers. Bunch of fucking tools.

Why do these alcohol treads end up on Veeky Forums? Is it just because it's "food" related, or do chefs tend to be alcoholics? Seems more like an /r9k/ topic.

You seem new. Alcohol threads have been here for a long time now.

Oral fixations.

Is it alcoholism if I only drink on Friday/Saturday night?

Sure, why not?

I've been sober for 5 months now. I'm done with school for this semester, so now I'm just working a lot.

Life is fucking boring as fuck, but I'm trying to get back into fitness, work on my social skills and also cooking skills.

stay strong nigga
you got this

How much do you drink in Friday/Saturday night?

Normal until mid 20s assuming you can afford it and you dont get so shitfaced that you lose your job/friends get a DUI etc. Still ok later in life depending on how much you drink. Blackout drunk at 30 is not cool any day of the week.

If you have to ask then no. When you've become an alcoholic, you'll know.

>I can reward myself, its a special occasion and I've controlled myself for a year!

Have fun on your bender

>some people are at the point where when they wake up in the morning they shake violently and can have seizures if they don't drink

>lmao they're just being contrarian and could stop anytime lmoa, just stop drinking, its so easy :D

I drink every day.
Have been doing so for the better part of 20 years.
The last time I went so much as a day without drinking was two years ago when I had a bad tooth infection, the tooth was pulled. On antibiotics for two weeks and still pulled into the gin after three days.

I'm functional, I guess. I'm working on my PhD. I work part time managing a locally owned restaurant that sort of sources local produce. I don't have horribly dysfunctional relationships because I mostly avoid relationships.

My life is not going that badly. My life is going badly.

At least there's box wine and dry ass gin martinis.

>working on my PhD

watcha studying senpai?

>short
Proto-historic ceramics in greater Mesopotamia with regard to early state formation.

>longer
The application of geometric morphometric methods for the analysis of chronological and spatial variation in ceramic form and decoration in the 5th through 3rd millennia BC represents a significant empirical insight into the practice and transmission of pottery production in early state level societies in Mesopotamia. This research is designed to elucidate fine level distinctions between the city states of proto-historic Sumeria and, potentially, within community distinctions in the context of competing and diverse urban institutions.

Best hangover cure is a single tab of lsd. Headache and body aches are gone within half an hour, plus you feel great the rest of the day.

I no longer drink everyday, it's now more of a once every three to four day sort binge. The problem is that on that cheat day, I drink a disgusting amount, leaving behind anyone else that was there drinking with me. Impulsive drinking sucks; I have no clue how to stop once I start. At least I'm past the 'sipping some everyday' stage, though to be honest a few drinks right now sounds real nice before bed

>not drinking
>sleeping

I wish I could

I did reply Thank you for asking. I know it's pathetic in any context and more so in this thread but it was pleasant to have the opportunity to compose a short hand description of my 'work' on the pretense that someone cared.

Thanks for being an al/ck/user

i laughed when i saw this thread at the home page. never even been to this board

get a life, fucking drunks
the effect of booze isn't even nice

Hi,

It is funny, a bit. What brings you to Veeky Forums?
Please, talk to me. I come here because I'm alone but it rarely helps.

that's a legitimate complaint though

>What brings you to Veeky Forums?
I literally just opened Veeky Forums, saw the popular threads section, saw the title of the thread "another al/ck/y thread" and looked at what board it was and laughed, probably because I didn't expect it. Decided to say that here because I am bored.

I have probably been here once or twice like most of the boards. Do you come to this board specifically for coping with loneliness?

how are your organs not rekt

>coping with loneliness
Yes
There's more to that. I used to be close to my sisters, that's not the case now.
My mother has had multiple rounds of electro-shock therapy, hard to have any relationship with her. My father is my closest model and he's a lonely drunk with a tenured position.

Day by day.

How are you? Why did you decide to come to Veeky Forums in the first place?

I went to a doctor two years ago for a work related health check. They did basic blood work and didn't tell me that I was fucked...

I'm sure I will be before too long. I try to keep hydrated, I work out and all that but I can't stop drinking. Not even when I'm happy.

Fuck. The people that I'm happy with drink so I drink with them. When they're not around I'm lonely so I drink. When I'm stressed I drink to catch a break. When I'm off work I drink to make it real.

I can't even go a week without a drink or ten when my doctor tells me that I might kill myself cause what's the point...

My grandfather lived to 96. He drank every fucking day that I knew him. He wasn't happy but neither am I.

I drink because I'm very unhappy with my life. It's the only thing that shuts my brain up long enough to go to sleep. When I'm not drinking I'm fantasizing about suicide. Things are going really well.

I'm a somewhat strange alcoholic.
I only like to be drunk out of my mind in the privacy of my own home and only if I'm alone.
Never when someone sees me, or when I'm in public "drinking places" like a bar, or pub.
To this day among others, be it friends, or family I drink only if it's really-really expected of me and only like a beer, or two max.
Though when I'm alone in my home... 6-7 beers, one after another untill I loose conciousness.
Mostly I drink in fridays after work, or in saturdays knowing that there's always a day after this one, for me to cure my hungover in peace.
I don't go out to people when I drink.
Mostly I'm reading some good books, play games, surf the internet etc. when I'm drinking beer after beer.
I really like to drink a shit ton of alcohol when in front of my monitor screen.
Are there more people like me, or I'm just this one wierd "self-made" alcoholic?
Btw, sorry for my english I'm ESL.

all alcoholism is self made, because it comes directly from wanting to escape your own mind

Not bad. Just finished a block of night shifts where I don't drink so enjoying a really cheap bottle of white right now.

not really..i just drunk because it's fun.

i aint doing that great right now boys
i aint a full fledged al/ck/oholic right now, but fuck if i aint slipping towards it, theres alcoholism in the family, and i've been drinking alone the last little while because for some reason, after 6 months, my brain wants to remind me how much i miss my ex and how much happier i was before she broke up with me
its fucked, i'm fucked, and my life is fucked
how do you guys handle it

Mm, bad since it's morning after all. Was on my last few euro's last night, planned on drinking a beer or 2 at most. Then I got comfy, popped some lou reed, drank everything I had, now I'm broke, feeling a bit sick and listening to the birds outside. Mornings are the rough part of the day for sure.

I'm just not a big fan of being sober too much. Just young, bored, poor and unemployed. When there's bad blood between me and my gf I just go do my thing even more, playing music, riding my motorcycle, vidya, spending more time with my bros. It's not the same scenario as you're in but the fact that these things can leave an emptiness stays the same, and such an emptiness is very rough as long as they're not filled up, or so to speak.

you won't be young forever and i hope that one day you won't look back on the present day and all you can remember is a blur of sadness

drinking doesn't make the emptiness go away, it makes the emptiness bigger but you're constantly fucked so you ignore it more

truly digging your own hole

I'm what you call a functioning alcoholic. I only drink in the evening to get some shut eye about 16-20 beers. Then when I wake up I take my vitamins and guarana extract then I walk about 10 kilometers before starting work. Need to burn those excess calories. I work from home as a programmer and I'm so fast that I only really need to do about 3 hours of work a day. Then I socialise with friends do some more work and do some studying and some 4chin. Then I eat and then I begin my drinking routine again. I have quit in the past for about 6 months but I wasn't functioning anymore after a few months and I just wanted to kill myself. I started again and I felt normal again. Not sure if I ever want to quit it feels like it's the only certainty I have in life. All the rest is just squandered by the people around me who all seem to be in a perpetual state of cognitive dissonance. At least I'm successful at what I do and I seem to enjoy life.

I'm going to study again this year so there's a finish line in sight, that keeps it bearable.

>wake up in a pool of my own urine
>try to turn my life around
>end up making myself pass out in the bath tub for easier clean up instead
On the bright side, I've cut hard liquor and switched to box wine for a few months now.

Drinking makes the other problems temporarily go away, while being itself another problem. But people can drink socially, and it is generally accepted to drink.

Like with the wine thing, now I know much more about wine. I can talk to my colleagues about it. But it's fucking me up.

I work, I watch tv while drinking, I sleep. This is my life for the next few decades. The only thing keeping me going is sex tourism (which is the only time when I don't drink).

TY. I have a few drinks every month or two, hasn't spun out of control yet, and that's with going through a pretty shitty breakup.

Yeah, same here. Getting and being drunk while shitposting, gaming, watching videos or even writing is fucking fun.
I drink about a litre of beer and quarter a litre of something high proof each day.

just watched this, now i want to kill myself. this is my future.

cant say how happy i am this thread exists, having a real fucked up time atm

hey brother thats a victory if i ever heard one. good on you.

congratz on four days! every minute is a fucking win man.

amen my nigga

working on it m9

Sober for almost two months now; I was doing that before I decided to quit for good. There is literally no benefit spacing your benders like that because you're damaging yourself the same way as drinking every day and you always need to take a day off to recover. Trust me, you're better off stopping now and never drinking again.

Adderall really helps believe it or not.

It can also kill you and give you a heart murmur so yeah

Going to rehab next week. Pretty scared, 4 month clean now.

Is it alcoholism if I notice I'm only genuinely happy when I drink?
