Back to drinking I think

While I'm normally not one to fall victim to advertizing to a degree that it changes my usual m.o. I have to admit that seeing the ad for Schmirnoffs Whipped Cream flavored Vodka has given me pause to perhaps reconsider my so-far 9 month stint without a drink.

:cheers2:

 

Drinking is overrated, smoke some ganja instead.

 

If I drink vodka Ima whip someone ass..

 

I volunteer

 

Ooooh I do. The not-drinking thing came about on a whim as I had suddenly noticed myself drinking for the wrong reasons and it bugged me so I decided to lay off for a while. But alcohol flavored like whipped cream,,, that would be for enjoyments sake, not simply drinking whatever rot gut was handy simply because it was there and I was in a foul mood. (Last drinking episode involved 1/2 gallon of rum in 30 minutes followed by a bunch of yelling at the clouds and trees and such and smashing 3-4" diameter branches into a log to bust them up for firewood because I was too drunk to mess with an axe or a bow saw.)

 

Stick to the whipped cream w/o the vodka...you'll like yourself better I think. Just my thoughts

 

I sure you got a handle on it now, anyway. And wtf we all got to die sometime.

 

someone,s gotta drink it mayaswell be me. jst finished a 5th of big apple rum. but wasnt enough with the 3 vic 10s drank 3 more budlights n waitin on some ir,s. i,ll try the whipped cream vodka monday.

 

I like the "high" I get when I drink; but I detest myself physically and sometimes mentally the next day - according to how special I got to feeling as I drank.

Shots of tequila make me want to fight or fuck (or both), so I haven't done them for some time.

Drinking marguaritas make me feel nice.:sunny:..again, as long as I can STOP while I'm just feeling nice, and not all the way to the point of I'm gonna feel like shit tomorrow. I discovered (some time ago - lol, but forgot) that Smirnoff does make some ready-make daquiris and such, which weren't too bad. :2thumbsup:

All that being said...the reason I wanted to comment here is because THAT - (Killing yourself) drinking...is soon going to be the ONLY "legal high", huh?

Why are people in power such sorry asses? ok - I digress.

 

that actually sounds kinda good

 

There is really no reason to live without alcohol.

I hope to never go a single day without beer or whisky for the rest of my life.

The secret is moderation. You must pace yourself and drink slowly and take breaks, maybe an hour here or there. The goal is to take the edge off of consciousness, not alter or obliterate it. Once that diffuse feeling of dislocation and fogginess begins to creep in you know it's time to take a break.

Koala bears are pemanently stoned on Eucalyptus leaves. I think to have a nice mellow beer buzz, where you just don't care very much about anything is the goal of existence.

 

:leaving: LOL I've so been there. Sprawled out in the living room, yelling & ranting, then after a few hours proceeded to strip off all my clothes, ran into my bedroom room and passed out. Woke up the next day (naked) no hangover, & with very little memory.



Half a gallon's crazy yo. Could get alcohol poisoning and die. Don't... do that.

 

How long you been drinking? 4 years very on and off at times here, and I find that nowadays The "drunk" is very different. It feels more like a background high. I don't get that "urge" to "do something drunk" anymore. Drunk thoughts too have subsided a considerable amount. I mean, the right receptors are blocked, so the alcohol has taken effect so to speak, but I feel very normal unless I'm near black out drunk.

I hope that makes sense. Would be awesome to get another viewpoint on this.

 

Yep, about the same, felt fine, got right up & made breakfast. That may have been what freaked me out the most about it, no hangover just felt unnatural after all that.

 

I'm 48 and have been drinking on and off for 30+ years. I have gone long periods where I drank EVERY day and other periods when I didn't drink at all for months.

I keep it in check. I don't want to lose control, don't want to get sick, don't want to wake up with a hangover. Traditionally Northern Europeans drank beer from morning to night and did just fine so I do not feel guilty about opening a beer say at 11am. To me sobriety is a condition to be endured or tolerated when necessary but should not be encouraged.

Excuse me while I go have a beer

 

Same here. I can do it once in awhile and feel okay, but the last time I felt more sick the next day compared to how good I felt the night before. You have to listen to your body.

 

There is nothing wrong with alcohol, only with drunks.

Enjoy your little walk on the wild side but keep an eye on the pavement.

Personally, if the end of my nose feels a little funny, it is time to stop. A couple of bottles of water and no regrets the next day.

 

I'm taking a break from drinking for awhile... I drunk too much on Friday, and then when I went to work on Saturday night I felt sooo sick I puked everywhere.. On the floor, in the coolroom, out the back.. I never really spew after drinking (before this of course lol) and it's so embarrassing!

Luckily all the customers and my boss were all cool about it but it's a wake-up call. Sometimes I don't know when to stop.

:ack2:

 

don't hate the beer.. hate the game.
