Al/ck/ general

>talking points
I haven't built those up yet. All I know so far is the $10 2L shiraz I bought today and the two $5 chardonnays I bought yesterday. The chardonnays are fairly dry and the shiraz is quite hearty with a good aftertaste (6 glasses in so far). Eyeing off some cheap sauv blanc tomorrow.

Might buy some expensive stuff on the weekend

>Sorry for the blogpost.
This general is made for blogposts, no worries.
Anyways, I'm not an alcoholic but I live at home. Drank too much wine yesterday and talked about it with my mom, which is pretty fucking annoying because now I have to be sneaky about it, especially with getting shitfaced. Fuck this

you're supposed to link in the old thread and make the new one after it has reached bump limit

i got banned once for making a new thread while the old one was 6 posts away from bump limit.

What the fuck do you live in a Muslim household or something?

No, but since I live at home my parents would probably forbid me to drink should I overdo it again. I just want to drink in my room and be left alone

>Talking with mom
This is fucking horrible. It's soul-crushing and ineffective, an they can't get that through their head. Also, don't become an alck, dude. It's just not worth it. I'm currently going home where she's waiting for me. She wants to show me job offers and explain to me why I'm an unemployable piece of shit. As soon as I finish my studies and become financially independent, I'm burning all the bridges with my immediate family. Get my place, change my phone number or block them, and never fucking ever have any kind of contact with them for the rest of my life.

You got money? They won't notice if you're drinking your own stuff.

I am buying my own alcohol. Problem is that my mom has a light sleep. Yesterday she woke up while I was taking a piss and forced me to breathe against her face...

After two months of sobriety, I slowly fell off the wagon and eventually got back up to 6-8 7%+ beers a night. I've been sick the last few days and haven't had any drinks. No withdrawal symptoms this time, which is nice because I had horrible stomach cramps and headaches the first time I stopped. I want to try to keep this streak rolling but I have some delicious fresh hop beer in my fridge. Maybe I should just give it to my neighbor.

>breath against her face
Holy shit are you me ? She makes me do that everytime I come home later than usual.

>She told me I am a parasite, a loser and a fucking dumbass who'll never finish his studies nor get a job. Seriously considering punching the shit out of her.
Don't punch her user, just tell her it's because she's a bad mother. :^)

SORT

Finally got to cutting up my old deck to burn it, It's only been a year

Feeling pretty accomplished today lads, It's noon and I've only had 1 drink

>tell her she's a bad mother
Wouldn't make her shut the fuck up. Also, it's not that she's a bad mother per se, just that she's a control freak who probably hates me for various reasons, valid or not.

She made you, anything she hates about you is her fault.

Could've just kept her legs shut and lived a problem free existence.

Already told her she'd be better wothout kids, she just answered that the damage was already done and I shout shut the fuck up.

The damage already being done should mean that she should be the one to shut the fuck up, it's not like you asked for this shit.

I'd just move out as soon as you can and forget about the lady though.

Dad still around?

Yup. Working a lot so not home much and sides with whatever she says. When he suggests stuff that she disagrees with, she answers with some variant of "no, I'm right now let me talk".

why are there no good jobs left? i wouldnt drink so much if i had a decent job.

have a masters in STEM and nothing pays more than 12 and hour in labs

What the fuck... Was she an alcoholic or something? Maybe her parents?

I haven't heard of anyone in my family having an alcohol problem. I guess she's just worried.

Vodka with ice water or Gatorade chaser ya dingus.

Better to just start to slowly work on creating distance and keeping your head down while you're at it m8.

Good idea. Thanks for your advice, and even more for answering to my pathetic blogshit while you surely have it waaaaaay worse than me.

I'm actually in the process of getting my shit together myself desu.

Boozing is mostly symptomatic to me. When I'm doing well I can drink in moderation but when my life turns to trash I hide in a bottle. Since I'm doing okay the drinking is okay now as well.

Now if I could just get some different coping mechanisms in place everything is copacetic.

If your home situation is shit hiding in a bottle is all the more tempting, but if you have your own little sanctuary where you can retreat from the world and not be bothered you may very well diminish the sense of being trapped to the degree that you may revert to being someone who drinks for fun rather than to escape.

dont breath that when you burn it user. treated wood is pumped with chemicals to aid preservation and breathing that smoke will put serious carcinogens right into your system. just trying to give sone good advice.

>general

Thanks, I honestly did not know that.

Good to know!

I bought a old concrete skull at a yardsale drunk a few weeks ago, Still not sure what to do with it

this will work with any liquor

inhale before drinking the shot
try to get the liquor lore toward the middle of your tongue
and this is important: do not exhale until you've swallowed the whole thing and exhale only through your mouth
it works for me anyway

>forced me to breathe against her face
that gave me a boner bruh

>I bought a old concrete skull at a yardsale drunk a few weeks ago, Still not sure what to do with it
take a sledge to it. it looks gay as fuck and makes me think that you're a man-child

Keep it in the freezer for days until it has motor oil consistency. Also use that breathing technique this guy said . Try to hide it though, makes you look like an autist.

>makes you look like an autist.
kek.
if you drink often - and i don't necessarily mean alkie level - you get accustomed to doing this
i think that just breathing through your mouth helps the most. it seems like the alcohol vapor gets into your sinuses and that seems to be the thing that feels the most unpleasant
i think you actually get more of the flavor of the booze this way and less of that hit of alcohol

Yeah i know it's not that hard to do quietly. But I've seen people take a huge loud breath before drinking like a finger of vodka. Didn't look very dignified but i guess it doesn't matter when you are drinking alone.

>Keep it in the freezer for days until it has motor oil consistency.

I remember discovering this in uni. It was a fucking revelation

>top of the line next generation high quality breakproof bottle
>stopper can be kept on for slow pouring technology or removed for turbo pour mode for "those days"
>like $16 a handle, get it and some chaser and still have $1-2 for a mcdouble
>all kinds of natural flavors sourced from the finest fresh ingredients on Earth, such as cookie dough, whipped cream, rainbow sherbet, etc
>unironically made by the same people as Grey Goose, probably the exact same shit - don't be a sucker, stick it to the man, be a smart shopper

take the pinnaclepill

Get better vodka. Bad vodka tastes like shit. Good vodka tastes like nothing

#1 Negroni
#2 Boulevardier
#3 Woodford Reserve + Coke + twist of orange

what next?

sto gram vodka

Which priceclass should I be aiming for? Usually I buy pic-related.

brotip for those wanting to get wasted in public without looking like the bums we are
fermented grapes. I don't mean wine but actual whole grapes that have been fermented. you can just walk around munching on them and no one is any the wiser

>all these plebs that haven't taken the pinnaclepill

>doesn't make his own vodka
>calls others plebs

Gorbatschow is trash.
If you pay less than 10 Euro it's undrinkable.
15 Euro and up is drinkable
If you spend any more you should rethink your life and spend that money on Scotch instead.

why no mention of filtering the cheap shit through coffee filters? isn't filtering the main difference between brands anyway?

orr if you're too lazy to fuck with coffee filters a brita pitcher works too

Since the beginning of summer I've been drinking pretty much daily. The volumes have been small, about 3 beers on average every evening, more on weekends. Been smoking weed 2-3 times weekly as well. I've written it off as "just during the summer drinking" however autumn is here and I've found that resisting the urge to drink and smoke has been harder than anticipated. I have been sober for 4 days as of yet, still really feel like having a beer. Miss getting high. It's all psychological, haven't had any withdrawal symptoms. Despite my addiction (if you can even call it that) being really mild, this is actually more uncomfortable than I would have expected. Props to all of you who try to resist the urge to drink , you're all fighters!

>me and my friends bought a bottle of three sixty vodka together, among other stuff
>mfw I drank the whole bottle alone during the week
>mfw I bought a second bottle so that they won't notice
>mfw I opened that bottle as well just now

drill a hole in the bottom and use it to hide a bottle for when the hose stash runs out

I'm drunk right now.

Me too user. What's up? Anything going through your mind?

I lived that life.

We were at edge at times (and this week we are again - 10 years later), but cut them some slack.

They fuck up and you get pissed, but realize it's a two way street. You're both in this together. They don't know what's best for you, but they just want to help while living their lives too. Honest.

The best thing in life is family.

In my Korean friend's words: "I want to fuck some bitch"

>tfw no gf

don't be mean user, it would make a cool garden ornament

Same. You a virgin? 'Cause I am. I've considered buying a hooker but I'm still young. Also, it'd be super awkward

The mind can really get to you though man. Just remember--you can always control your thoughts, save for some extreme moments or psych disorders. Otherwise, if you're mostly "typical" mentally, you can think through anything. just seems hard sometimes. This is sans physical addiction though. That's another story.

I'm only 18, I'm not sure if buying a hooker is worth it at this point. I don't even need sex, I want someone to love and cuddle and spend time with.

juuuuuuuuuuuust buzzed enough to watch football and semi-enjoy it.

Wasn't there a game yesterday?

>I'm only 18
Same man, what the fuck? And I feel you, I love fapping but I also want a woman to comfort me. I want to cry into a woman's chest and vent my problems while she's patting my head.

I'm in France and have a girl in Italy, but that's far. I'm so alone, I wish I had help.

I like you

Aww. Have you tried a therapist?

Buy some Smirnoff and stop being such a fucking faggot. Pinnical is for baby lil white girls who have out of state fake IDs and daddy's card.

>"Only one vodka shot tonight"
>am at my sixth of seventh shot right now
Either moderation is a meme or I have zero self-control

Is that a tranny

So I have been sober for around a month and a half and just this last week i've been having dreams about drinking every night, which is strange because i'm not really having a hard time stopping at all its been pretty smooth sailing this whole time
Dont crave it when I wake up dont crave it when I go to sleep but the last 5 or 6 nights I get those dreams

No, apparently it's a model according to /r9k/
I just think she's sexy, I want to lick her sweat off her arms

Anyone here had liver problems? I got a bit sauced a couple nights ago (more than usual) and my abdomen has been aching for a couple of days.

Brought a flask to college because I can't stand having to talk to 5 different teachers about a painful event that had me missing a lot of class. It was actually pretty nice getting a light buzz in class, stop caring about what people think and just get work done. What sucks is sticking around for an hour after class to sober up. Right now I just fill a flask up with cheap blended scotch whiskey. I'll probably keep doing it if I can get away with it. Most enjoyable classes I've had so far. Once I'm done with this bottle I'll probably do a cheap mixer in a water bottle, a lot less conspicuous and I won't have to take swigs in the bathroom stall

I live with my mother who's also an alcoholic. We get into some heated fights over who drank the last of the beer, but she doesn't get mad about me being drunk or drinking. Gets mad at everything else under the sun, just not that.

your liver is not in your abdomen

ok well I mean in my gut, like below my ribcage

I recommend not punching your mother

Self control is a meme.
Non-alcoholics don't need control over alcoholism.
Alcoholism pretty much means you can't control your alcohol intake.

your body is probably just still trying to process all that booze you drank, if it continues see a doctor
try to eat light, bland things like toast or cereal you dont want to further aggravate anything

Yeah, she's pretty swole. If that's a genuine woman, I'm kinda 'bout that.
I have a hard time getting into girls with short hair, it just reeks of daddy issues and not-so-buried-crazy...
I like a woman with super long hair, I'm not sure what it is about it but when they grow their hair super long it's like they're confident that they're beautiful without any attention grabbing nonsense.

okay. I had a sixer when I got home just because I had a stressful day at work. I feel a lot better though. been eating light.

Drink more I guess. I can drink Taaka straight from the bottle like it's Sprite or something, I don't even need a chaser anymore.

I get what you mean, but I just love those short-haired cuties. I just think they look nice and sexy

I have one, and I go to church every Sunday too. I just want to hold her but I can't.

I kind of wish I had that environment sometimes. My brother asked me to move back in, since my mom had become kind of a headache, being an alcoholic/stim popper herself. Out the gate it was pretty much like living with a third perpetually fucked up roommate. We never really had a close relationship where she would be concerned about me exceling in life or academics.

This shit was tolerable when I was trashed all of the time, but my brother and I sort of found our own way to recovery separately. I've already made the decision to move to another state within a year.

I don't blame her for my alcoholism, but I don't think it would have gotten as far as it did if she ever raised a concern about it as I was growing up. It was always a nonchalant attitude. Like this is what kids do, even as it accelerated in my 20s.

tfw no alcohol escort. I'm about to pass out but this seems like a dream
>no girl will ever take care of you while drunk
>no girl will ever eat with you at McDonald's to calm you down and get some money into that stomache. Just drink because you hope that one day your waifu will be your alcohol escort

Who here is /saddrunk/

I stick to weed or pills when I'm out or at a party now because I got bored of finding rooms to cry about nothing in halfway through the night

who /sake/ in here?

me but I bring it on myself. I listen to sad music and watch sad movies or shows when I'm drunk, dunno why, it just feels good to cry I guess since i'm pretty much emotionless when I'm sober

first time drinking in about 2 months. I'm off tomorrow for the first time in a while. Had a nice hefewiesen and im on my second sierra nevada pale ale. Ridiing a nice buzz atm.

I drink vodka with squash and water

You'd think it'd help with dehydration but no, still gasping for water as soon as I wake up. Just a cheap and convenient way to drink shitty spirits.

>used to drink alone excessively
>did it out of boredom and because I had given up
>always had a hard time controlling how much I drank
>would often blackout
Now however
>have 0 desire to drink alone
>even if I do I can stop after only a few
>even on a night out which would be the biggest trigger for my binge drinking I can still say no after several drinks

What is happening to me lads? It's said that alcoholics trick themselves into thinking they can drink but I'm showing legitimate signs that I can actually handle it in the past month...

Is there a way for me to go back to enjoying things without alcohol? I hate this life and its expensive.
