I can no longer drink as much as to get drunk.

I grew up in a lot of different cities in Turkey. I dont have a home town. I've been living in Kocaeli for 11 years.

 

The road to addiction begins right where you stand . You just said " I can't give up alcohol permanently" which in my understanding at least points to creeping addiction.
When you find life is a lot more enjoyable by having at least a sip every morning to start the day or maybe even a boiler maker you're well on your way.

For readers unfamiliar a boiler maker is a glass of beer with a shot of whiskey in it.


I agree with neonspectraltoast people claiming to like the taste of alcohol are full of ********** .

 

Maybe your body is Muslim and no longer accepts alcohol.

 

I've been to a few places
But not there

 

What does it have to do with it?

 

Have you heard of Kocaeli? It is the province just east of Istanbul. I live in its provincial capital, Izmit.

İzmit - Wikipedia

 

Ah Nicomedia

 

Yeah. Its old name.

 

I always find with spirits, I can knock them back pretty well without like being drunk, but beer... I dunno if it's certain chemicals or what but beer will dehydrate my brain quickly and fuck me up.

 

I never get drunk, just happy.

 

I like the taste of beer with alcohol in it. Beers without alcohol in it were not tasty in my experiences so far.

 

Have you tried getting a lot of exercise? It's a lot of work at first, but after you break through, you start getting a really good high from it. Slightly better for you in the long run than switching to GHB.

 

Yes. You don't really like the taste. You just want to be Mr. Fancy Pants.

 

I really dislike the taste (and smell) of beer.
Well....most alcohol.

I do enjoy a nice gin and tonic, because it tastes kinda refreshing.

If I drink anything else, I'm not drinking for the taste.

 

Heh this post screams ME ME ME

 

Personally I much prefer a good cup of coffee .

 

Nobody likes the taste of alcohol which is a poison.

 

I like the taste of some beer
Ain't lying

And top shelf bourbons sometimes taste good. Sometimes. Depends on which one

 

No, not a liar. I believe that you believe you like the taste of alcohol. I just think perhaps you're deluding yourself.
