my favorite part of drunking is how everything feels possible in the moment, it is a great motivational method to do things and accomplish goals
So why are tv and movies characters who drink always represented as negative and useless?
honestly I think the anticipation before getting drunk is more enjoyable than actually being drunk. before I start drinking I'm looking forward to it, but then once I'm drunk I wonder why the frick I did it
literally me. The waiting part is the best, then the drinking is usually meh and aftermath is terrible. I keep asking myself on why I do this but I keep drinking.
You build a tolerance crazy fast and the good feeling of being drunk becomes harder to achieve. Like any drug you end up chasing the dragon while your health falls apart and the alcohol does nothing for you anymore unless you down 3/4 of the bottle of whisky.
That moment is extremely fleeting, and what follows is languidness. The thing about drinking is that being drunk is not fun, getting drunker is. That is why an alcoholic is always drinking more. It's the process of becoming more drunk that releases the feeling of euphoria, so you always need more until you are barely able to walk and function. Normal people can enjoy those fleeting moments and come back down, but addicts will just keep drinking, rest, then do it all again. It's really quite sad.
>The thing about drinking is that being drunk is not fun, getting drunker is.
This seems like such a simple and obvious take, but I never thought of it that way.
Because waking up hungover every day holds you back far more than any amount of drunk confidence will help you. Just literally never drink and you'll be better off. If you've never drank yet: don't do it.
it catches up with you and you keep druking even when it's not enjoyable
Only during 30 minutes after first drink. Then it goes downwards.
The only thing I feel when drinking is sleepy
Your negative experiences are probably because you are drinking too much, too fast.

They asked him that very question in an interview. It was like, "You play such a convincing drunk. At any point in your life did you ever have a problem with the creature?" to which Dunsworth replied that gambling was his vice, and that he has much more in common with Santa Claus than he does with Jim Lahey.
i drink 14-15 beers every night after work, wake up with no hangover, go to work and perform at a high standard and do it all again
can't quit because the withdrawals kick my arse and i think i might die
oh well
i got sober during the 2020 lockdown
had to do a LONG taper
even then i still woke up in the middle of the night with panic attacks, but they eventually faded
i'm thinking of taking about a month off and doing it again because drinking is more like a chore for me now (though i still enjoy it) and stops me from doing other things that don't involve drinking somehow
>no known health issues
That's surprising, I was drinking heavily for only 2 years and started getting pain in my side. Went to the doc and I had elevated enzymes. I quit, still waiting to get an ultrasound to see if I have a fatty liver or a blockage of some kind
what did the pain feel like?
i started getting a pain in my lower right side and my feet swell when i drink but my enzymes are all normal. quit drinking for a few months and the doc didn't seem concerned but even if i have like two or three beers i still get the swollen feet. kidneys and heart all seem fine.wondering if i may have some underlying problem that's minor enough that my liver can still work through it.
In Poland AA sucks if it is AA of oficial catholic church. They make you fill like shit, typical catholic sense of guild "I am so weak and evil, god please save me". The protestant ones are coll, more in the fashion of "I don't deserve to feel like shit, I need to quit drinking". No idea about atheist ones, if there are ones in here
just stop, stop thinking you "need" alcohol. It's a saying "the alcoholic consciously chooses to put the glass to his mouth and drink every day". You don't need AA, it will just frick up your life
I've been to several chapters in different states and I hate them. Most people there are just sad and depressing and it makes me want to drink even more. Some of these people have supposedly been sober for 20 years yet somehow they have to meet 7 times a week to fricking talk about it. They're all turbo religious too so stay away if you don't want to hear about Jesus saving you from the drinking.
Honestly though, if you're having a hard time quitting and you're just now acknowledging that you have a problem it's probably not the worst thing to give it a try. One thing I will say about it is it helps knowing that there are millions of people out there in way worse shape than you are. It's okay enough to get you jump started, I just wouldn't want to go back on a regular basis.
Yeah man, it fricking sucks. Got a dui about 5 years ago and had to go to a few meetings. Was enough to convince me to cut down on drinking (cut it out pretty much entirely at this point) just because a lot of people there are fricking disturbing. If you have to go, choose one in an auditorium that a lot of people go to. The smaller the meeting, the more uncomfortable it is.
bros it's not looking good
I have been contionusly druk from last friday, even at work. Today I had a beer at lunch. This is not going to end well druksisters....
I thought most do this? When I feel like drinking I cut vodka with some water and lime and drink until drunk before making dinner. If I drink on a full stomach it's almost impossible to become inebriated.
When I become drunk I invariably become voracious, even if I can barely walk I will stumble somewhere and eat enough for two men before falling asleep. Part of the reason why I rarely drink, I noticed when I did so more than once or twice a week I would balloon up and gain 10-15lbs in a month.

Yeah i use to do the same but i've gotten good at controlling my hunger while drunk, rarely ever eat anymore after i've started drinking
6 shots of vodka with a splash of cranberry juice to dull the shitty taste over 30 minutes to get started pregame before I head out.
Then probably another 6 shots over the next 2 hours at bars. I generally stop drinking by ~1AM since there is no point to go any further since I'll be head home in another hour or two.
If I drank beers to get drunk I'd be a fat frick.
My tolerance is unreasonably high for drinking only twice a week.
Anon that's 12 shots with cranberry juice, that's like 1500 calories alone. It is true that you'd be much heavier if consumed in beer but that's still quite a lot. I suppose it's balanced out by drinking only twice a week however, if you are active.
Thoughts on non-alcoholic beer when trying to quit? I just miss the taste and carbonation as I'm going sober for a month while I get some tests done. Does it have any health risks to your body apart from making you fat?
It tastes really close to a real one. If I would want to quit, or really minimize the use, I wouldn't drink something that reminds me how good it tastes
I don't know if this was what they measured in me but I was triple that a decade ago when they ran my tests and I'm still technically alive. My recovery abilities are some borderline Wolverine shit though. My side feels a bit weird but I think it might just be radiating down from my tweaked back.
This is my favorite drink. I remember as a younger man going to a house party with my friends and filling a tin with vodka, baileys, and Kahlua, and just sipping it the whole night while playing video games and Magic the Gathering. By the time I was halfway through me holding it had warmed it up considerably. I finished it, but by the time I headed home had not eaten a single bite of food, puked the entire concoction up right when I walked through the door.
Still my favorite today though, but of course as a singular treat.

My druk gf left for work early Sunday and I looked around my place and figured “frick it.” So I went to the liquor store for 9am and got six 8% beers and walked around for 3 hours playing this cell phone game where you walk around and find free crypto. Then I grabbed 12 White Claws on the way home and continued to drink all day. Made it to 11pm before I had to collapse in my bed.
Had to work for 9am and had 3 drinks from the time I got up until my arrival.

mfw i realized i drank a case of beer then drove to buy another one and then promptly passed out.
From what I've heard from people that take it, it basically stops you from wanting more than a beer or 2 and just not wanting more. Essentially curing the addiction for most alchys.
Reduces cravings and if you do drink you don't get a buzz. I don't know how true the latter is.
Mother is an alcoholic and was prescribed naltrexone. It does not work, as far as I can tell. She drank just as much as she did before, and would still get wildly intoxicated. She did have a gastric bypass however, so perhaps that affects the interaction.
I've never met someone that got that surgery that didn't end up an alcoholic. We used to think it was comical that she would get totally sloshed after a beer, but then it got worse and worse. Whenever I hear someone is considering the operation I advise against it. Just not worth the risk.
She didn't get gastric bypass it was some other thing. She's more of a pothead than a drinker I just find it funny that she gets so drunk off barely any booze.
>I can't imagine drinking this much
I can and do. Somehow liver still fine. I am 33 years old. I started when I was 18. My hands shake and I have seizures if I go a few days without it.
I don't believe your liver is still fine if you've been drinking heavily enough you have seizures without drinking, for 15 years. That's pretty serious anon. I offer a toast to your health.
I get blood work done every year and so far no problems. I know it's gonna catch up with me and I'm gonna end up with wet brain but I'm still not at a point where I care.
By the time you get wet brain you won't care anyway. I have some alcoholic friends and family, and the worst ones just turn into almost drunks even when sober. Just repeating the same thing over and over again, extremely irritable, combative to everyone and everything, only placid when they're totally inebriated. Quite a sorry sight, and they're so fricked up that nothing can really help them. Alcoholics have to help themselves, and when you get to that point you're too far gone to even want to try.
For what it's worth blood work won't necessarily show the whole story. You need an ultrasound or something that actually sees if your liver is fatty. I'm surprised though, you don't have any other issues? Bloody stool/vomit? Jaundice? Red palms? I've battling the addiction myself but I'm only about 5 years in and I have a pain in my side that goes away when I stop drinking for a few days. Trying to get it under control but every social interaction I do involves booze. Shit sucks.
I'm sure most of the cooking staff is fricked up on something.
My chef is looks like he does cocaine all the time.. And he rants about trans homosexuals and Black folk all the time. Literally Cinemaphile incarnated. Very Based.
/druk/ needs a slower board that isn't infested with bots like Cinemaphile is. Also going to be inherently unstable thread considering the subject matter
i rewatched that for the 2nd time a couple years ago after like 6 years, it was wonderful. however at the same time it's also not the show to watch drunk because so many pieces of dialogue are key to understanding shit later in the series
I have the episode's screenplay pulled up so I can double check the dialogue. Even with a loose attention span, the show fits for atmosphere, scenery (lots of bars, swamps, churches, police stations), and style. This is my second rewatch, and I'm picking up so much shit I missed on the first time around.
I want to stop drinking so bad bros. I love getting drunk but I can't stop and it's fricking devastating. I've fricked up relationships with family and friends, you can't imagine.
I'm going to a hospital, I'll keep you guys updated. It's finally time I just get help.

this is how i feel about smokes
For me it's marlboro golds
literally me. The waiting part is the best, then the drinking is usually meh and aftermath is terrible. I keep asking myself on why I do this but I keep drinking.
Every time I say never again. Maybe one day I'll get sick of being sick and tired.

You're a big guy

That's surprising, I was drinking heavily for only 2 years and started getting pain in my side. Went to the doc and I had elevated enzymes. I quit, still waiting to get an ultrasound to see if I have a fatty liver or a blockage of some kind
i don't go to doctors
haven't seen a doctor in 13 years and only went then because i was in the army at the time
what did the pain feel like?
i started getting a pain in my lower right side and my feet swell when i drink but my enzymes are all normal. quit drinking for a few months and the doc didn't seem concerned but even if i have like two or three beers i still get the swollen feet. kidneys and heart all seem fine.wondering if i may have some underlying problem that's minor enough that my liver can still work through it.
Just stop for 2 weeks and the pain will go away
i stopped for 2 months and it's still there. maybe that was unclear
your liver apparently can heal itself, but it takes like 3-4 years
How long have you been drinking like that?
Off work, havnt stopped drinking since

Gotta get a job if you want to stay DRUK friend, need that money
if it gets too bad, take the day off
and then consider stopping
been drunk at work too but you're putting everything on risk there bro.
I will, I just had some weak moments + combined with the unbearable heat I made a mistake
You didnt make a mistake, embrace the DRUK life
stop it you serpent
i miss the highs and lows of druk life. my life is too consistent now. it's so boring.

No, never
You're only along for the ride til you decide to get off or the car crashes. You better make sure that's how you wanna go down if you stick to it.

How do you guys get drunk? Fast high % or slow low %?
~14 5% beers over about 5.5 hours gets me where i need to be
Fast, low % and then going to sleep.

Yeah i use to do the same but i've gotten good at controlling my hunger while drunk, rarely ever eat anymore after i've started drinking

I am

I pretty much gear my diet around consuming an extra 3k calories a week. Kinda frustrating

Nah it tastes like shit

it tastes like shit
but you still get the ritual of "having a beer", same with herbal cigarettes
It tastes really close to a real one. If I would want to quit, or really minimize the use, I wouldn't drink something that reminds me how good it tastes

My druk gf left for work early Sunday and I looked around my place and figured “frick it.” So I went to the liquor store for 9am and got six 8% beers and walked around for 3 hours playing this cell phone game where you walk around and find free crypto. Then I grabbed 12 White Claws on the way home and continued to drink all day. Made it to 11pm before I had to collapse in my bed.
Had to work for 9am and had 3 drinks from the time I got up until my arrival.
Sounds like you need a drink friend
>cell phone game where you walk around and find free crypto
what like frickin pokemon go? lol
Pretty much. Coin Hunt World. Generates about $20/week for me. I do a lot of sip walks. It’s a good addition.

Damn that’s how you /druk/
KEEP ON TRUCKIN BRUTHER SKEET SKEET
Anyone else at a bar? Chilling with a few pints myself
Dude you should really try to talk with people at the bar rather than internet drunks
Don't listen to this gay, he's a fricking loser. So what's up anon, you come around here often? What's a good guy like you doing in a place like this?
>Talk
>To people
lmao no
Why go to a bar then?
To drink, duh
WHAT A LIFE
So do you guys watch TV and Films while DRUK or not?
do your parents know that you are druk
Yes, they are also DRUK
TPB has a huge cult following in poland. It was aired around end of 2000s with polish voiceover
That lektor shit is so weird, it's like the worst possible compromise between sub and dub
Anybody try naltrexone?
Can't seem to get it from anyone, been to 6 doctors they all refuse or say they aren't allowed to prescribe it.
What does it do?
From what I've heard from people that take it, it basically stops you from wanting more than a beer or 2 and just not wanting more. Essentially curing the addiction for most alchys.
Will never try that then, im a druk guy
Reduces cravings and if you do drink you don't get a buzz. I don't know how true the latter is.
doctors will only give out ssris or antipsychotics
Mother is an alcoholic and was prescribed naltrexone. It does not work, as far as I can tell. She drank just as much as she did before, and would still get wildly intoxicated. She did have a gastric bypass however, so perhaps that affects the interaction.
>She did have a gastric bypass however, so perhaps that affects the interaction.
My chick got some kind of stomach surgery and she gets completely shitfaced off 2 drinks so that's likely the case.
I've never met someone that got that surgery that didn't end up an alcoholic. We used to think it was comical that she would get totally sloshed after a beer, but then it got worse and worse. Whenever I hear someone is considering the operation I advise against it. Just not worth the risk.
She didn't get gastric bypass it was some other thing. She's more of a pothead than a drinker I just find it funny that she gets so drunk off barely any booze.
How we all feeling tonight? Whats everyone watching? Some Frasier for me
>I can't imagine drinking this much
I can and do. Somehow liver still fine. I am 33 years old. I started when I was 18. My hands shake and I have seizures if I go a few days without it.
bro it's not too late ;_;
I don't believe your liver is still fine if you've been drinking heavily enough you have seizures without drinking, for 15 years. That's pretty serious anon. I offer a toast to your health.
I get blood work done every year and so far no problems. I know it's gonna catch up with me and I'm gonna end up with wet brain but I'm still not at a point where I care.
By the time you get wet brain you won't care anyway. I have some alcoholic friends and family, and the worst ones just turn into almost drunks even when sober. Just repeating the same thing over and over again, extremely irritable, combative to everyone and everything, only placid when they're totally inebriated. Quite a sorry sight, and they're so fricked up that nothing can really help them. Alcoholics have to help themselves, and when you get to that point you're too far gone to even want to try.
For what it's worth blood work won't necessarily show the whole story. You need an ultrasound or something that actually sees if your liver is fatty. I'm surprised though, you don't have any other issues? Bloody stool/vomit? Jaundice? Red palms? I've battling the addiction myself but I'm only about 5 years in and I have a pain in my side that goes away when I stop drinking for a few days. Trying to get it under control but every social interaction I do involves booze. Shit sucks.
The only thing I've had an issue with is hemorrhoids from the diarrhea after drinking all night.
Everytime i think i'm out the DRUK brings me back in again
Its time i hang up the drinking glass friends, i dont want to but sometimes we have to do the things we dont want to
it's wednesday so frick it right, basically the weekend. sneed
BASED
you get the chicken fried and we're set bucko
How does on get druK?
I've started going to work drunk. Do you think my coworkers can notice? I'm a dishwasher.
Nah bro, you need to drink more
When I was a dishwasher I would drink AT work and nobody cared as long as the dishes got washed.
I'm sure most of the cooking staff is fricked up on something.
Probably not if you can hold it well.
I've had jobs where I was loaded and nobody ever new.
kitchens are notoriously full of drugs nobody will care s long as you're not smashing shit and doing your job reasonably normally
My chef is looks like he does cocaine all the time.. And he rants about trans homosexuals and Black folk all the time. Literally Cinemaphile incarnated. Very Based.
Ask him what his home board is. You’ll be able to tell if he has one.
ah yeah I'm sure I've seen his Cinemaphile threads
>throwing away most of his paycheck to work at dead end job
actually, now that i think about it, he really is Cinemaphile
>I'm up to three beers on my lunch break
I drink 3 or 4 pints of beer during my breaks.
*sips*
The moon landing was fake, yes i am druk
We’re keeping the Moon Landing.
no
the earth is also flat but you knew that already
of course
I am the sun
I am the air
I am the moon
I am the liquor.
WHAT
A
LIFE

Impossible, I’m still itt
BASED DRUK GOD
Thank you. I’m headed to the beach with my gf now to get druk, so some losing may occur after I leave.
Its over
im crying
PLEASE POST AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
/druk/ needs a slower board that isn't infested with bots like Cinemaphile is. Also going to be inherently unstable thread considering the subject matter
eh it's kind of tough. there's usually an alcohol thread up on Cinemaphile but it's too slow over there.
In about 2 hours max you will be alone. The thread won't save you
I'm always alone, Anon
I appreciate my surroundings more when drunk and enjoy them
bump before i drive to the liquor store. yes i said drive
True Detective Season 1 is comfy as hell when drivnking frens
i rewatched that for the 2nd time a couple years ago after like 6 years, it was wonderful. however at the same time it's also not the show to watch drunk because so many pieces of dialogue are key to understanding shit later in the series
Stop saying weird shit
i'm drunk asswipe, what you want
t. buzzkill
I have the episode's screenplay pulled up so I can double check the dialogue. Even with a loose attention span, the show fits for atmosphere, scenery (lots of bars, swamps, churches, police stations), and style. This is my second rewatch, and I'm picking up so much shit I missed on the first time around.
what's your style? do you just have the pdf of the screenplay in another monitor and scrolling along? seems like it'd be a lot of work
sometimes I crack open a drink solely because of these threads
>drinking beer with my bros talking shit about our gf's and listening to good music for once
I NEEDED this wednesday
wish I had some bros, we all moved apart (one just didn’t invite me to be part of his wedding party). feels bad man
I want to stop drinking so bad bros. I love getting drunk but I can't stop and it's fricking devastating. I've fricked up relationships with family and friends, you can't imagine.
I'm going to a hospital, I'll keep you guys updated. It's finally time I just get help.
well oood luck but I doubt you need to go to a hospital
leave that open for people having an emergency, bro.
