What Is Your Relationship With Alcohol?

90 minute check in.
I'm on rum and cola now.
Still having fun. Playing good pool.

 

So, in earnest: I think I enjoy it pretty responsible I am clearly a social drinker and even then I usually drink less than my friends (esp. when just chilling at someone's place). I'm also sticking to beer 99% of the time.

I can relate very well to this feeling but I only go on with it at parties or with friends. In fact, I rarely drink even one beer on my own.

Btw: maybe it is just because I don't binge drink but I usually enjoy my sunday hangovers. Nothing else to do than give in to that feeling to do everything slow and take it easy.

 

I'm going home now to eat lunch.
I had a fun morning. Won good games of pool and it good table time.

 

You're on rum and cola this morning? Or is it a very late night?

 

I only drink occasionally - and never very much. Truth is, as I get older I can't handle the after effects, which are about the worst of any drug I've ever tried.

A mug's game IMO (forgive the pun).

 

I'm a night owl forever. I sleep in the evening, I'm up at about 9/10pm most nights. I start smoking at about 7/8am and I'm almost waiting for the doors to open at the pub, especially Friday when the men come down for pool. then it's drinking all day. I'm sure they stay all day. I am home now and I've had a bit to drink yet I'm not smashed as. I'll have a smoke now or two, hot shower. That'll do me for the afternoon. I have one long bottle of captain Morgan's right now. Half full. I'll drink no more alcohol after this. and with a bit of luck, I'll get some 6 hours sleep albeit broken. =\

 

I have a hyperactive body that doesn't allow rest easy. My sleep is terrible. I'm thrashing and turning, kicking everyone in the bed. I can't sleep without weed. =[ I'm prescribed sedatives which I take on the weekends. Gives me about 10-14 hours of rest. Broken rest, but docile to the max. Like a walking zombie. But it's good for me. I'm meant to take them daily but I smoke the weed to sleep during the week. Weed although tolerance is high, it still helps me sleep.
I feel like I am rambling. have a good day folks.

 

Yeah weed is great. If I have to watch overindulging into something it is that

 

I've had a lot of fun with it over the years. Not a problem at all.

 

We're seeing other people at the moment. It would like me to consume it more often, but this bitch of an ulcer is coming between us. Need to get rid of that first before I can have a hard cider again...

I did find a really delicious mead at the Renaissance fair this summer, though. I'm waiting to open it till I get the all clear from the doc.

 

Alcohol hangovers are one of the worst effects from any 'drug' that I have done. I don't really use opiates or benzodiazepines but There are very few drugs I've done that feel as toxic and punishing the day after as bad alcohol hangovers.

 

When I'm drunk I often have moments of clarity when I am at peace with all things and all-loving and nothing matters, so I kind of like it. I don't drink that often, though. I would say right now alcohol and I are in pretty deep, but I fear she has lovers on the side. This may not end well.

 

I had a few little cups of sake at dinner last night and that was it. Normally, I would have had a few drinks before going out to dinner, a few drinks at dinner, and a few more drinks upon returning home.

Tonight will be a bit more difficult, as I am going to my in-laws, and I usually have at least 4 or 5 drinks and get a pretty solid buzz on with them. I am going to limit myself to one glass of wine though (if even that). The question is - do I have my glass of wine upon arrival, or wait and have my glass of wine with dinner?

 

Also one of the worst drugs there is for making people pro-actively aggressive and or emotionally fucked up.

Not so for everyone of course, but I'm sure everyone must have observed that sort of thing. Or maybe it's only the English who go that way.......

 

It's that way in the US too, I'm not going to dig up the exact figures but I know a substantial percentage of violent crime in the US is while intoxicated on alcohol.

I know at least one bar that has been shut down due to too many fights.

 

Hmm I don't seem to go emo crazy on booze. I talk a lot more though. And my cheeks go red. And I get cute. =p
But I don't get angry. Confident maybe. But not angry.
Only time I really get angry is in a concert when there always that one person who feels the need to elbow past everyone to get to the front. Now that shit right there will fuck me right off!

 

I wouldnt say im "fucked up" right now, but im buzzin pretty hard.

 

I like alcohol kind of.





cheers rollindrunk

 

I don't mind some of those creamy english Irish beers

Kilkenny Bodingtons

Bodingtons here is $83 for a case of 24, 440ml

Even in bulk its over $3 a can

Apart from that, i dont really drink anymore, even wine has gotten boring and I just fall asleep to quickly, total pussy with alcohol, 2,3 drinks and its nap time

 

I rarely drink any alcohol; maybe once or twice a year.

I did drink beer every day, sitting on the beach, when I went on vacation this year. I also had one night on vacation where the girls bought me mixed drinks and I got completely drunk.

Prior to that night, I hadn't been drunk in 3 years.

Those of you asking about binge drinking: My nephew had a drug/alcohol counselor tell him even though he didn't drink every day, if when he did drink he had to drink until it was all gone or he passed out, that he was considered a "compulsive alcoholic".

Alcoholism runs horrifically rampant in my family, as does drug addiction.
