Al/ck/ thread #13982812101

Can't say I really like cocktails.
If I had to pick, it'd be rum and coke or a Screwdriver.

Are you that guy I redirected from /v/?

According to what I've read it does in fact diminish cravings for some, but not all who take it. It's basically the luck of the draw. I can speak only for me but it's working like a charm so far. This is day 4 and I've only had 1/3rd of a beer. I feel liberated. Hope it lasts.

Yeah, I'll be hanging around here more often.

Do you prefer stronger drinks? or do you prefer more simple stuff

You're thinking of antabuse btw.

Not much experience with cocktails. I remember trying an old-fashioned. didn't blow me away then again I'm more of a straight-shooter when it comes to mixed drinks (screwdrivers, jack and coke)

crownroyal.com/whisky-cocktails/old-fashioned/

The Old Fashioned is a pretty straightforward drink, but it's really good, the New York Sour is godly, and it's made with Whiskey too, maybe you will like it, if you like strong stuff, the Negroni is another great choice

I'm not a mixed drinks guy, but I know the shit girls like.

They like Queluudes, Trash Cans, Tequila Sunrinse, Adios Mother Fucker, and there are others I'm missing cuz I'm kinda buzzed right now.
Why do you ask?
Are you trying to up your mixed drink game or something you wanna drink yourself?

How do people even come up with these drinks.

Buying shitloads of drinks in your home and trying different combinations, there are some people that actually study this shit, its really fun actually.

I know plenty, I'm trying to get to know the guys that hang around this general, share and recieve drinks, recipes, and knowledge.

Oh.
Well personally I'm a hard liquor guy.
I drink vodka out the bottle, chase it with whatever around the house from water to soda to tea.
Burns my fucking throat and it hurts my chest.
How about you, fellow user?

Ive been drinking gin and mio for the past two hours and staring at a muted tv playing Twilight Zone. Sgit's crazy man

Oh yeah, and Ibe also been pkaying bust a move on my ps2

Shit is so cash

made me think of this song op

good on you getting sober if that's what you want, just remember there was a reason besides being addicted that you drank. you need to figure out what it was and deal with it or you'll go back to drinking or some other destructive behavior

Tbh I drink pretty much everything, I'm always finding new cocktails to try out. from sweet to really strong, If I had to choose a favorite, it would be the Negroni.

>1 oz London Dry Gin
>1 oz Campari
>1 oz Sweet Vermouth
>Ice
>Orange peel

It's strong and delicious, every time I visit a bar I drink one at least

What's your story then?

sever depression, at one point because of it I was homeless for several years. I'm on head meds now and only drink ocasionaly, like once maybe twice a month

Seconding the Negroni. Delicious drink.

Man, several years would be rough and hard to come from. People tend to go feral. I have around 9 months total of homelessness under my belt. I stayed in the shelters, never camped out. Dunno about you?

But beyond that, it's good to hear you got your life stabilized. That seems to be the goal for a lot of us in these threads.

Never heard of that one.
So what do you do when you drink?

RE4 bro here.
I haven't played in a week.
Anyone want me to play and upload images of my progress like I used to?

I avoided shelters and other homeless like the plague. I was doing day labor at the time. it gave me enough money every day to get something to eat and hang out at a bar for several hours. I'd just sleep outside wherever I could find a spot

When I'm drinking at home, I just blast some music (Pink Floyd for example) and I relax watching the stars or sitting by the pool.

When I go to a bar, since I've been to pretty much every single one of the bars in my city, I just chat with the bartender

Day labor centers survive off guys just like us. Sweet memories.

Does anyone else get way worse hangovers when they drink every other day as opposed to every day?

Do you think bartenders ever get tired of chatting with people? That's basically their job, not to hand off a bottle of beer to someone, but to listen to their story and reply to it. I know one thing, bartenders who aren't into talking get shitty tips.

Tbh I've always been careful about that, I think I did a great job because those bartenders gave me their number and we've been to some parties and such, so when we chat it's quite friendly.
I stopped having hangovers after I discovered the Bloody Mary, I really suggest you try it out

>tfw too much of an ammo Jew to reload my weapons

Just now I killed the chainsaw guy with my knife because I didn't want to reload any guns.

>drunkenly swinging a knife at a guy with a chainsaw

Good to know I still got it.

2 EL GIGANTES?

Whoa, oh well, beat them both with no damage taken.
Got past them and the bugs and beat the chapter.
I swear, how fucking long does it take to fight fucking Salazar, I forgot all these parts.
Probably doesn't help my head hurts and can't think because I'm partially drunk.

what game is that

Hardcore alky here, I'm looking into microdosing on psylocibin, anybody have any advice? My liver and stomach is fucked, need and want to stop. I've had good experiences with small amounts of mushrooms

Resident Evil 4

My favorite game ever, beat it dozens of times when I was younger.
Pic related I remember scaring the shit out of me as a kid.
Two chainsaw guys (Dr. Salvador) and they're so easy to kill.
They're slow and if you wear headphones like me, you can literally hear where they are.

I was uploading my progress last week but I ran out of booze.
But I'm stocked up now and drinking and ready to finish this damn game.

Done.
I think Salazar is next.
I have a loaded Broken Butterfly and it should only take me 2/3 shots to skip this entire boss battle.
And with that, I still have 3 more rounds to save for the big alien guy in the caverns.
After then I finally get to the Island, I think, and the bullshit begins.

Well, time for another shot.

Son of a bitch.
I completely forgot about this part.
I fucking resent it.
I think I crank some shit while getting attacked, then the statue chases me.
THEN I think I fight Salazar.
Fuck my life.

I know I just took a shot, but here's another to deal with this bullshit.

>mojito drinkers
REEEEEE
all I want from the bartender is a fucking beer or a shot and you motherfuckers have the poor barslave pounding away at mint and shit for whole entire MINUTES
Minutes during which I could be DRINKING MY BEER REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

And I run and PLEASE FUCKING PLEASE let me shove my fucking Broken Butterfly down Salazar's throat.
I been itching an entire week to stuff those magnum rounds into his fucking face.

Man, I'm getting so drunk, I don't know how much longer I can last after Salazar.

>5 more hours

lol, okay

This is it bros.
Finally the Salazar fight.
I been ACHING for this fight for days.
Two or three shots from my Broken Butterfly should easily take him down.
Let's do this.

If I can defeat him under 4 rounds of the Broken Butterfly, I'll do two shots of vodka.

It took me 6 Broken Butterfly shots to his head and one extra from my Semi-Auto Rifle to kill him.
:(
Well I took a shot of vodka.
Still, at least I'm out of ammo in the Broken Butterfly which means I can upgrade it's capacity for free ammo.

So I upgraded almost everything.
Most guns have perks now.
Red9 and Shotgun have perks.
Broken Butterfly I'm till waiting til I run out of ammo again.
I'm almost done with the game.
Just the fucking Island, and I hate the Island.

forgot pic...

What the fuck is the gay poetry in the last few posts? You're not the next Bukowski, so you can stop doing whatever the fuck you're doing in this destitute pseudo AA thread.

i'll quit drinking when i can smoke weed again

until then i'm /fifthofvodkaperday/

Only person posting is me playing a game?
The hell are you talking about poetry?

Kek don't blame us, blame them for making it an option

It's single phrases sentenced-off, not like I'm gonna actually read that shit.

RIP proper silhouette usage

This, but at least the image is black so it's still somewhat visible.

>Noon
>Already drinking

I take naltrexone in low doses for recovery from opiate use and for overall health. I don't drink alcohol

Anyways you should know taking 50mg of naltrexone a day will suppress your immune system and block your endorphins and make you feel depressed and achy. The reason is works is it blocks the euphoria from drugs.

Once you get your drinking under control I would reccomend switching to 1.5-4.5mg a day, preferably before bed. It will actually strengthen your immune system as well as promote anti inflammatory processes.

There's just too much downside to the full dose to stay on it long term. Even 1.5mg makes me depressed at times so I can't imagine 50mg. I can literally emulate a minor heroin withdrawal by taking it at a certain time. The health benefits of low doses are substantial. It has been shown in multiple studies to boost NK cell activity (has been shown to help shrink tumours) as well as boost beta-endorphin (helps long term recovery from opiate abuse) and calm glial activity (very important for MS sufferers as well as fibro).

so you feel bored and like shit forever? fuck that noise

Microdoesing psylocibin is great. Not sure if it could help you get over alcohol addiction. Iv done it for about 5 years, Ill maybe take 1 gram every 1 or 2 weeks and I just end up feeling so happy and at peace with everything. Not to mention colors get a little more vivid which is cool. Nothing to serious like a full trip though, 1 gram is a nice amount to micro dose at.

Will look into what you wrote

Thing about drinking, I get like 3 hours of sleep and wake up.
and I'm still drinking.
Fuck.

Yep. Time to get medical help if you want to get through withdrawals. A few days of lithium feom your doctor gets it done. Then from there it's back to square one.

Librium. Goddamn autocorrected. Who the fuck even takes lithium these days.

I won't seek help.
Trust me, my parents and friends know I'm an alcoholic.

Has nothing to do with who knows what. You sounded like you are miserable waking up requiring more booze after just 3 hours sleep. Why WOULDNT a person seek help in that situation.

Well it does suck, I'm always tired.
And when I'm up this early, I want more alcohol.
It's not even noon and I'm already 6 shots in.

Yeah, one never gets actual rest. You don't sleep you just pass out and wake up tired. Day after day after day.

True.
Even if I manage some real sleep, I still wake up tired.
I'm so tired and drunk I'm watching the Mr. Rodgers marathon on Twitch.

>Keep rubbing hands
>Look down
>Shit loads of skin ripped off
>Don't feel anything

well, that's new

Similar when I rub my head.
I look down and I have tons of hair falling out.

That happens to me when I've been binge drinking regularly and not drinking enough water until after I get dehydrated. Skin gets all dead and flakey.

>Get drunk
>Suddenly want to talk to people with voice
>Nobody to talk to

I typically wake to 5+ tabs with searches like "crisis helpline" or "suicide hotline". Once while delirious I made an appointment to see my local MP and tried to call the queen. Fucked if I know why. A couple of weeks ago I tried to call Amy's baking company. Zero clue why I did it.
Oh god, and the texts to ex gfs. Just make me be kil.
>chug

I'm turning 21 soon and don't know what to buy

What flavored vodka would you recommend?

Absolutely none. Flavour it yourself if you want to, but flavoured booze is, imo, filth.

I don't think you get the point of this thread, son.

flavored anything is shit

>Flavored vodka

I'm drunk, guys.
I think.
What do now?

>I think.
better drink more to make sure
alternatively stop drinking or watch some dumb shit or play vidya

Well I'm watching Mr. Rodgers on Twitch.
And I'm still drinking.
I might play more vidya but I don't think anyone cares when I post RE4.

Can you drink Hot Sex straight? I just saw it's a cocktail mixer and wondered if it's gonna suck without being mixed with other shit.

Watch clips of tv/movie I like while I'm able to feel emotions
And music

>tfw drinking my last can of Magic Magic
Goddamnit it's such a good beer, but it's a limited release and an AIPA. I want more!

Recommend me some vids.

I usually watch Utada Hikaru.

First drink in 4 days.
I can feel it taking effect in the first sip
God it's good

Proud how easy those last few days were.

Can't recommend you too much since what triggers your emotions varies

But I've been enjoying some Fleetwood Mac and Soundgarden since Cornell died

I drink because it feels good. Then I embarass myself drunk and decide to get drunk again to make that go away. etc.

I'm in a pleasant mood.
I'm not angry or sad.
I don't mind shifting to a darker tone.

Drank two sixers of sixteen ounce cans sometimes more every night for nearly ten years been sober for 19 days just by going to one AA meeting a day every day that shit nearly ruined my life and marriage

Heh, I lost my girlfriend who I was gonna marry 7 years ago.
Every since I been single and I still drink.
Her and I talk maybe once a year?
She thinks I need help.

You can do it, man. We're all pulling for you

Have you thought about trying the gym? You may be surprised what your sober body is capable of.

I drink and neglect my teeth.

The gums have lowered and the bottom near the gum feels sharp? Am I losing my teeth already? I'm only 27

hope you continue to do whats working

Same age and same worry
I don't think we're losing our teeth, per se, but it's definitely hastening it

I hate looking in the mirror and seeing the gums hang off my teeth like loosely tied scarves.

I'm 27 too and I'm not nagging you.
You should at least spend one time of the day to brush your teeth.
I hate brushing too, but I don't wanna lose my teeth so I take 2 minutes to brush.
The way I look at it, I reward myself with a shot if I do it.

Brushing isn't enough
I'm the guy right above you
Always brush. Every day. Sometimes twice

But I haven't been to a dentist in almost 10 years
You need to do that.

I brush once a day before I begin drinking.
Sometimes early if I have to do something.

Ditto
Still shamed about my teeth

Need to see a dentist, but I keep thinking the nurse will look at me with second hand shame.
