My grandma drank heavily enough to get cirrhosis of the liver. Anons, do not fricking become an alcoholic. It is a painful, undignified, and slow suicide. Alcohol is a fricking awful drug.
I was drinking 4 to 5 beers a week and I know that's a low amount but I don't want to start needing more and more like my dad who died of alcoholism.
Right now I'm down to 3 beers week and I'm going to stop at max 2 beers a week or every other week. I'm also doing it because more alcohol you drink the more it ages you, I want to avoid that.
Rich fricks have those on lockdown, also, if you need one for any other reason than an accident or some unfortunate non-alcohol related injury, you deserve it. That is the fate of drunks.

Smoke/use just a very small amount of weed.
I get all weirded out and paranoid and shit if I use too much.
But just a little, perhaps not even just 1/20 of what people regularly use puts me in a very chilled out general state and it's lovely.
Good luck!
Just a little bit, pushing you into the right mindset, Using, not abusing.
I used to work as a non-emergency EMT. I saw so many people with cirrhosis. Jaundice, ascites, altered consciousness. It's as bad as Alzheimer's, except nobody has sympathy for you.
One guy had a ballsack the size of a small cantaloupe. I think it was due to respiratory issues/fluid retention, though. Anyways, this shit happens to lots of people.
I would shit bricks if I started seeing yellow in my eyes, assuming I didn't have hepatitis or some other acute condition. The best thing you can do is be honestly with your Dr.
I have Gilbert's syndrome (a harmless genetic condition that results in my skin/eyes sometimes having a slight yellow tinge) and also drink heavily. Not always fun lol.

Hahaha yeah no chugging vodka straight from the bottle? It's not like I've been doing that the last couple of days or anything. Why would you even say that?
Im currently on day 5 of Dry January. Worst symptoms so far is a slight vibrating when i go to sleep and multiple bowel movements of explosive diarrhea. When does it get better?
I wasn't an actual alkie but same here, my shits are actually better thoustever. I really just crave the taste of beer now so I might go get some NA but it's expensive
For me it's usually around 4-5 days, drink some electrolyte drinks like pedialyte or liquid IV and that'll rehydrate you and the stomach will feel better. Also eat yoghurt to help with the acid reflux and shit.
5 days in and I feel fantastic. I felt good day 2. I'm going to drink again tonight because why not. What's the point. Haha. I've proven I'm in control and that's all that matters. Why put your body through undue hardship with withdrawals? You should've at least tapered but you didn't and your body is going through hell. Sounds dumb
Alcoholics drink like this, they clean out jugs of hard liquor. I've seen it myself. Maybe that's why I don't drink, or maybe I just don't feel like it.
The tolerance gets so high that they drink large amounts of straight liquor or they get the shakes and fricking die. I've also seen alcoholics successfully turn their lives around by detox and a change in outlook.
Same, can never get enough milk. Have been craving farm fresh milk lately, maybe it will be cheaper from the farmers' market.
I'm mid-40s. Never said or implied I was a baddass, but I did quit drinking cold turkey. I drank since I was nine. It's been a few years now. Peaceful years. Years without trouble and sickness. WOW imagine that!
Cold Turkey doesn't work for people that don't actually want to quit drinking.
You're the kind of gay that calls it a disease so you don't have to face the facts that you're just an undisciplined child. >It's not my fault, it's a disease!
pathetic.
Buy increasingly watered down beers to slowly wean off, it's what I forced my broke ass roommate (i.e I was the one buying) to do. Eventually we got down to the fake-beer alcohol free Heinekens they make.
Quit again tomorrow. Don't say to yourself "I fricked up January so frick it wait until next year". You've shown you can do 4 days so do 4 more. If you drink again tomorrow try the next day.
I've been doing this but more sipping it.
The hangovers are bad but i don't have the shakes, i also eat a lot when I'm drinking. I am worried about liver though.
Does anyone even use that site? I doubt the traffic is anywhere near even Cinemaphile.

By the end the only board it had that got any activity was the pro-wrestling board and /asp/ put the final nail in its coffin.
Pretty sure the daily traffic to every 420chan board combined, even the non-weed related ones, is less than all the drukposting you get in 1 day on Cinemaphile.
Any genuine alcoholic level drinkers ever just scale back or cold turkey and then find they can drink casually again no problem? I was on a handle every other day for around 5 years but went cold turkey for a couple. now I can just have a drink normally and it’s not a problem
Same here; I go through phases where it's a handle every 3 days along with beer/wine with meals, but currently am at half a bottle or so of wine w/ dinner, including some days where I don't drink at all. Tapering off is key though to avoid dts.
I admitted up front I'm an alcoholic. But I'm also functional and don't need booze to get through the day at present. What do you want? I'm just answering the other anon's question.
I went for half a handle a day for quite some time. I went cold turkey in the end, never actually felt any withdrawal symptoms, got my liver checked out, all fine apparently.
So yeah, apparently my liver can take a beating, here I am. I still like drinking some, I'm a bit boozed up right now, but it's "what regular guys going out in their 20's"-do, and that I should be able to take for at least 200 years.
Totally unfairly, a friend of mine, a total non-drinker, recently got diagnosed with hepatitis (forgot which letter), and her liver is basically ruined.
Such is life.
Not to shit on your friend but it sounds like she got what was coming to her just like alkys. Hep means she is a junkie, roasting it up and/or drinking piss.
I've been around a bunch of alcoholics who were able to scale back and drink in moderation. But it never lasted. 6 months, a year, maybe two. They always ended up losing control again and often ended up even worse than they were before because they drank as if they were trying to catch up. I'm sure there are a few people out there who've been able to stay the course, but they must be super fricking rare
Honestly AA is a fricking cult. Even if i used to drink heavily when i was in the army now i can go to party and have just one or two beers without it sending me down some crazy binge drinking i can't get out of.
How many kids did you kill overseas? Are you proudly collecting your welfare check for protecting and serving pedophile israelites in the name of the downfall of humanity? Pussy.
Never deployed because i was in the Kill Team unit so we got grounded by daddy army. And yes I do enjoy getting tax free money from disability and my college tuition paid for.

There’s no such thing as a “cool drunk”
even if they’re funny at the bar they’re still most likely a complete mess and can’t hold down a job or a driving license.
I’ve known way too many drunks who cruise on mopeds around town now since they lost their licenses lmfao
>There’s no such thing as a “cool drunk”
Sure there is; just because your dad was a lazy, mean drunk doesn't mean that others can handle their liquor and just be cool.
I think I'm going to try and quit tomorrow with a new approach instead of my usual lowkey sleep it off approach. TOTAL DOPAMINE OVERLOAD. Every second of the day just drown myself in sensation, as long as I'm not drinking. Just eradicate any sense under a constant assault of kpop idol buttcheeks, music, and video games.
Lol that was the first thing I thought. Anon ate the E-puck meant to get the entire rave high.
First of all alcohol tastes like shit.
Second of all it's always drinking a bunch of liquid and having to piss a lot.
Thirdly, it can be super expensive compared to some low grade weed.
Lastly jacking off on weed feels better than jacking off drunk when you're dizzy and feel like your blood pressure is high.
Alkies in /druk/ threads hate being compared to potheads, they think it’s liberal to smoke weed and conservative to drink instead of just doing both like normal people. Gotta look cool
>they think it’s liberal to smoke weed and conservative to drink
Please say syke..... Is that really what's stopping some people from being alcoholics?
Also I can't believe there are morons out there who will drink and smoke cigs (cig with drink feels good) but then say weed is bad for you.
Must’ve been some mexican brick weed, that shit gives me headaches.
Thankfully I’m only an hour from Grand Rapids so I get top shelf ounces for $50-75 now, lasts a month or two. Used to pay $240 an oz when I was buying from Black folk lol
Basically it's like when you're drunk drunk, not buzzed, and everything feels good, but your head isn't spinning and your focus can be very specific or you space out day dreaming. Plus it hits suddenly instead of the 20 or 30 minutes you have to wait from shots.
NTA, but I guess you're just lucky that I'm around right now.
Smoke/use just a very small amount of weed.

>Yeah, why don’t more people take a drug that can cause cirrhosis of the liver, death of brain cells, yellowing of the skin, insomnia and anxiety, heart palpitations, and the urge to drive and harm others around you
Bit hypocritical to not do both t b h tbh!
I'm a hardcore alcohol and I have never driven drunk. The thought has never even crossed my mind even slightly. The moment I have begun to drink, driving is out the window, not even remotely an option, regardless of any inconvenience.
Alcohol can trigger psychosis too, you dumb frick. And the overall cognitive damage caused by alcohol is only comparable to drugs like meth and crack. I don't even smoke weed because I prefer alcohol but what a stupid fricking thing to say
Weed makes me super paranoid, like "too scared to leave the house, thinks friends are whispering and plotting to kill him" paranoid. It also makes me lazy and brain fuzzy at my job. Alcohol, speed and coke on the other hand make me feel confident and outgoing. I've went to the supermarket in broad daylight after being up all night drinking and not cared or noticed what anyone thinks.
Weed hits me way harder than booze, and while it was fun the first few times to feel like I was deeply connected to the universe and to be moved by nonsense psychedelic poetry on YouTube, the novelty quickly wore off and now it's just annoying as I wait for my mind to go back to normal. If I have too much I also become catatonic and unable to physically move or make my muscles work.
I used to drink 4 tall boys of beer and 2 jack and cokes or gin and tonics on a daily basis. Gained 4 kilos in those 2 months (November and December). I feel like shit but at least I’ve been clean throughout this week. Still finna drink a 40 tomorrow tho.
a bunch of jobs with government contracts have mandated testing that hasnt been updated since the 70s. Even if your in a state with legal weed its still a big problem if you come up on a DOT test or something.
You can even get fricked for smoking where it's legal and getting into an accident a couple of weeks later. I know of a dude from a Canadian company that went down to Texas to work on wind turbines so he smoked in Canada before going down here and there was an accident and he died. Because the autopsy showed weed in his system his family didn't get his life insurance
When I was in the Army I was going through a handle of spiced rum on Fridays and Saturdays as well as some drinks thrown in throughout the week. There was a period I was drinking on worknights till 3 in the morning then getting up at 5:30 to go to formation and doing workouts or going for runs when I still couldn't walk straight. Then I'd have to go fix radars all day.
Now that I'm out I just smoke weed in the evenings. If you feel you're drinking too much, you probably are. I know it's a cliché, but rock bottom is when you stop digging. You don't need to dig yourself to the grave anons.
>drinking on worknights till 3 in the morning then getting up at 5:30 to go to formation and doing workouts or going for runs when I still couldn't walk straight
Being infantry over half of us were in this state so no one really stood out.
I was in maintenance in the only airborne air defense unit so while they pretended they were hooah they were actually a buncha pogs that acted hard and took shit way too seriously. Shit sucked
Alcohol fricks your brain so hard that you eventually can't function without it. I had wild success in a lawfirm gladhanding drunk every day but then I had a huge nosebleed and passed out in a closet. Nightmare zone.
Imagine being some weak willed cuck that can't handle a little alcohol. Yesterday I had a rye and soda with dinner and I think tonight it'll just be on the rocks, occasionally I'll get drunk and go through a quarter bottle of whiskey then get up in the morning go to work and go back to having a single drink with dinner.
Idk if it’s a blessing or a curse but I’ve been drunk/buzzed but never FRICKED UP like I didn’t remember it the next day and couldn’t control myself. I always get sick after having too much alcohol and can’t get drunker than that without getting a brain-searing migraine.
I used to drink like this. I still do drink but instead of it being 4-6 times a week it's about once a week. I'll get pretty plastered one night when I don't have anything going on the next day, play some vidya, shitpost on here, pass out, and hopefully I didn't kill the entire bottle so I can use the rest to treat the hangover the next day. Then I won't touch it for another week or more.
I'm 32 and would drink 2 bottles of wine and smoke 3 grams a weed every day for almost all of my 20s. I was a functioning addict so I never thought I needed to stop. But when I turned 30 I got bloodwork done during a physical and my Doctor said that I had the body of a 50 year old. Cholesterol through the roof, extremly high blood pressure, 40lbs overweight, etc.
I don't think cold turkey works, so I decided to tweak how I got high and drunk. I stopped drinking all wine/liquor, and switched to light beer. I stopped smoking weed and went to edibles. I downloaded one of those gay walking apps and started walking two miles every night. It's been 18 months now and I've gotten into the ritual of getting home from work and drinking three white claws and two 10mg weed gummies. This seems sustainable and is working for me. I'm sure people would still say that I have addiction problems, but I've lost the weight and my blood pressure has gone down so I don't feel like I'm slowly killing myself anymore.
I'm 37, and I went heavy on drink a lot. Only the past 10 years-ish I've been drinking so much to the point where I'm now drinking a bottle of Vodka a night. Still get up and do my work (work remotely now which clearly hasn't helped) but somehow still do it. My tolerance levels are stupid now, I went out for New Years and Christmas and I never felt a thing despite all the pints I had. I just felt nothing whilst I seen my friends being pissed etc. I was just waiting until I can get a taxi back to my house.
This has been my life since my early 20s (in my 40s now). Would go to work happy hours and have 5-6 drinks and only have a slight buzz if that when my coworkers would be trashed and unable to drive. Made me popular in the office since I was otherwise a quiet guy who kept to himself.
>beats Tiger Woods after staying up all night drink 3 bottles of whiskey
This guy does, the drunk golf legend John Daly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6yhVsea_N8
Feel bad for the alchy anons here. I'm so lucky that my brain chemistry seemingly prevents me from getting a drinking or smoking addiction. I can quit both and suffer no consequences, outside of occasionally feeling like a beer or two during the week
I drank too much and lost a job anybody in the world would dream of. If I never drank, I almost never would've made mistakes or done something stupid because I'm otherwise smart and a good person. Finally woke up and quit alcohol completely last year, just in time to turn 30 this year. Part of me wanted but didn't dare to hope that I could quit by 30, but without even aiming for it, it just happened.
Stop drinking anons. You will never regret not drinking. It makes life worse. Even if you don't want to stop today, just start being more aware if the extreme and endless negatives to drinking, and your drinking may decrease naturally.
Don't underestimate how dangerous alcohol is. I went to a top 10 university, but I was still dumb enough to get fired from a remote, $250k/yr job, and still didn't quit drinking, that's how powerfully it takes hold of you. You can always convince yourself that it won't happen again, now it's different. It was only when I learned that I was hurting my loved ones by drinking that things finally crossed the line and I couldn't justify continuing to drink.
I'm not sober or a non-drinker, I just don't enjoy alcohol now, because I don't think about the feeling it gives me, I think about what it's cost me and how much it's made me hurt my loved ones
>friend calls me Jan 1st still drunk and tells me all the crazy shit he did at the club and after party >calls me again that evening crying that he cheated on his gf and bunch other degenerate shit he regrets about that night >calls me again yesterday saying his gf sucked and he is better off without her and he is going places in life
lmao alcoholics are kinda pathetic
I'm sucking at home alone. So fricking bored. I wish I had a sweet little girlfriend or something. Wtf do I do? Should I start drinking? The store is 5 minutes away and has $10 bottles of vodka. It'd be so easy... It's not like I have any reason not to do it; no one would care, no one depends on me, no one loves me.
I think I'll start drinking.
If it makes you feel any better once you have people depending on you the pressure will be even worse and when you're in the darkness that bottle will whisper at you that you can deal with everything another day. It's not the right answer but it's an answer.
He would have had the shakes way harder to do that move.
You will either ruin your life or die if you don't quit
My grandma drank heavily enough to get cirrhosis of the liver. Anons, do not fricking become an alcoholic. It is a painful, undignified, and slow suicide. Alcohol is a fricking awful drug.

>4 to 5 beers a week
Are you fricking kidding me? That's not even a blip
Point is I went from 2 a week to drinking 5 then craving even more.
If I kept at it I'd end up drinking 15 to 20 week eventually. My father was an alcoholic, I have the genetics.
Good on you for recognizing the signs early.
Thanks man. I'm gonna stick to 2 a week or every few weeks. My dad was dependent on alcohol to function.
>progression
Thats how you eventually end up swilling bottom shelf vodka in the parking lot mid afternoon.

If it comes to this, why can't you get a liver transplant?
Rich fricks have those on lockdown, also, if you need one for any other reason than an accident or some unfortunate non-alcohol related injury, you deserve it. That is the fate of drunks.

Friend of mine lived like this for a while; one time had to get vanilla extract to chug because he was in a dry state on a Sunday morning.
Was a great guy but died of a stroke in the shower because his blood pressure was through the roof whenever he wasn't drinking. Sad.
How old was he?
Early 30s.
Thats really sad, it seems some people don't think about the health implications until its too late.

Get bloodwork and look at your liver enzymes (ALT AST). If they are elevated there is your sign to quit asap
reminder doctors will lie to you about this to get you to stop drinking. It's a common tactic. Probably a good thing too
Why would a Dr. lie about a terminal diagnosis? If I thought I'd be dead in <1 year I'd immediately quit my job and start drinking heavily every day.
because 99% of people are not like you moron
What a lucky son of a b***h. I've prayed for cancer or liver failure etc all my life.
I did that once. Blacked out.
there's a point in every man's life that they will choose to drink like this. If you never do it's because you've lived a soft and pampered lifestyle.

For me it's usually around 4-5 days, drink some electrolyte drinks like pedialyte or liquid IV and that'll rehydrate you and the stomach will feel better. Also eat yoghurt to help with the acid reflux and shit.

what thread we using ya mongs
Alcoholics can’t even quit posting about drinking, worse than potheads kek
>what is 420chan
>what is daily druk threads
>a single meme general on one board vs an entire website
Does anyone even use that site? I doubt the traffic is anywhere near even Cinemaphile.
Always funny to see alkies rage and seethe over being compared to potheads lmfao
In all honesty I have not a clue what it’s like nowadays. Haven’t visited it in ~13 years
I’ve never been on an altchan, they always seemed slow and pointless.
It was a good resource for niche information at the time when drug culture wasn’t as widely accepted by the mainstream and everybody and their grandma casually eats gummies
It seems like a bunch of teenagers trying to one up each other, and a bunch a tweakers who will type out paragraphs of disconnected ramblings as a “quick thought”
420chan is dead, proper dead, lost to the world.
By the end the only board it had that got any activity was the pro-wrestling board and /asp/ put the final nail in its coffin.
Pretty sure the daily traffic to every 420chan board combined, even the non-weed related ones, is less than all the drukposting you get in 1 day on Cinemaphile.
A site that no longer exists
There’s no recovering from Cinemaphile brain
>it's another episode of begging the corpsman for an IV after a night out with the bros
Any genuine alcoholic level drinkers ever just scale back or cold turkey and then find they can drink casually again no problem? I was on a handle every other day for around 5 years but went cold turkey for a couple. now I can just have a drink normally and it’s not a problem
Yes but I think you have to have a certain level of intelligence to do it.
Same here; I go through phases where it's a handle every 3 days along with beer/wine with meals, but currently am at half a bottle or so of wine w/ dinner, including some days where I don't drink at all. Tapering off is key though to avoid dts.
>I can't quit anytime!
>*relapses*
>..t..that was..was....MODERATION!
Le Cope.
I admitted up front I'm an alcoholic. But I'm also functional and don't need booze to get through the day at present. What do you want? I'm just answering the other anon's question.
Just pointing out the facts. Hey, I'm not better than you in the eyes of Jesus, so relax.
I went for half a handle a day for quite some time. I went cold turkey in the end, never actually felt any withdrawal symptoms, got my liver checked out, all fine apparently.
So yeah, apparently my liver can take a beating, here I am. I still like drinking some, I'm a bit boozed up right now, but it's "what regular guys going out in their 20's"-do, and that I should be able to take for at least 200 years.
Totally unfairly, a friend of mine, a total non-drinker, recently got diagnosed with hepatitis (forgot which letter), and her liver is basically ruined.
Such is life.
there are multiple non-alcoholic diseases affecting your liver health, don't be a dumb drunk now.
probably from sugar and too much bread
Not to shit on your friend but it sounds like she got what was coming to her just like alkys. Hep means she is a junkie, roasting it up and/or drinking piss.
Hepatitis can also be transferred from mother to child, or conceivably you could get it from some sort of medical frickup.
He said recently and the other options are more likely than medical malpractice.
Same.
I've been around a bunch of alcoholics who were able to scale back and drink in moderation. But it never lasted. 6 months, a year, maybe two. They always ended up losing control again and often ended up even worse than they were before because they drank as if they were trying to catch up. I'm sure there are a few people out there who've been able to stay the course, but they must be super fricking rare
Despite what AA claims, some alcoholics can indeed go back to being moderate, responsible drinkers.
Honestly AA is a fricking cult. Even if i used to drink heavily when i was in the army now i can go to party and have just one or two beers without it sending me down some crazy binge drinking i can't get out of.
How many kids did you kill overseas? Are you proudly collecting your welfare check for protecting and serving pedophile israelites in the name of the downfall of humanity? Pussy.
Never deployed because i was in the Kill Team unit so we got grounded by daddy army. And yes I do enjoy getting tax free money from disability and my college tuition paid for.
The least you could do is not be smug about it.
>why yes I will be slashing the tires of anyone with a military bumper sticker or license plate how can you tell
Lmao if you think I have stickers or army plates you're wrong. Besides i paid federal income tax too so technically i paid for my own disability and education. It's not my fault i got to drive around and shoot guns for 4 years and then get free college while you idiots are b***hing about student debt forgiveness because you took a shitty loan.
I work w a jarhead who get 5k a month infinitley for "disability". He can't do squats but he does everything else and is ripped as shit. it's ridiculous.
murdered hundreds of people. i wish i could tell him what he was fighting for. he hates what is happening to america but he doesn't understand why,
i told him about the third tower he was like how come they never talk about that?
but quickly he was back to his ignorant life of lifting, cod, and goyslop
the perfect golem. he's also mystery meat
How stupid are you? You’re hated because of that attitude. You’re just some creepy pedophile-protecting parasite. You could at least stand with us and speak out against all this shit instead of revelling in it, then again I’m talking to someone who signed up to kill kids in the name of israelites for a 401k. That’s demented.
lol great job, this is exactly why I will never say
>thank you for your service
i shitted the grease
Diane Schuler did
WATER SHARTERS IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT
so fricking true
Just got my late christmas bonus of $1000. Dry Jan it was good knowing ya
Imagine all the things you could spend that on instead of some shitty beer.
beer & prostitutes > games or funko pops
including a Black person in your image of your preferred prostitutes just cements your disorder
Oh you're sad racist too hahaha kek what a sober b***h

LMFAO BRUH THIS gayS A Black person WORSHIPPER NO CAP ONG FARIZZLE
Black personlips
dude where do you think we are, i can’t even defend you
Whats fricked up is i can easily stop drinking i just get to bored.
>i just get to bored
Never a huge drinker, but I stopped and boredom is the hardest part. Friday nights are dull.
What's the problem with only drinking on Friday?
When you wake up every other day that's the best you'll feel all day.
>What's the problem with only drinking on Friday?
I felt like shit on Saturday
i don't think you understand how these people work.
once they start drinking they can't stop. it's always more, more, more, and more.
This
I haven't drank since October but if a bottle magically appeared in front of me right now it would be gone before the sun came up.
this thread title always drags the normies and morons in rather than the cool drunks. You fricking mong.
There’s no such thing as a “cool drunk”
even if they’re funny at the bar they’re still most likely a complete mess and can’t hold down a job or a driving license.
I’ve known way too many drunks who cruise on mopeds around town now since they lost their licenses lmfao
Had an uncle who was "the cool drunk." Alcohol cooled his body down for good at age 59.
My father-in-law was a cool drunk and a tattoo artist.
He died of a sudden heart attack in 2021 at the age of 44 after drinking heavily for years.
Dang. That's way too young to die. Uncool even.
>There’s no such thing as a “cool drunk”
Sure there is; just because your dad was a lazy, mean drunk doesn't mean that others can handle their liquor and just be cool.
It’s a slippery slope, anon.
How long have you been here? If you need a hugspace there’s always twitter.
You can, but you absolutely will be hugging a toilet 45 minutes later
Why do American liquor bottles have handles on them?
make them feel more like guns
Easier to pour with hands that are greasy from fast food
That's usually for the 1.5L bottles, those aren't common in europe
what a life
Get it together anon.
Also MDMA overdoses are hard to do, how much did you take?
I think I'm going to try and quit tomorrow with a new approach instead of my usual lowkey sleep it off approach. TOTAL DOPAMINE OVERLOAD. Every second of the day just drown myself in sensation, as long as I'm not drinking. Just eradicate any sense under a constant assault of kpop idol buttcheeks, music, and video games.
Lol that was the first thing I thought. Anon ate the E-puck meant to get the entire rave high.
Why don't you guys just smoke weed?
First of all alcohol tastes like shit.
Second of all it's always drinking a bunch of liquid and having to piss a lot.
Thirdly, it can be super expensive compared to some low grade weed.
Lastly jacking off on weed feels better than jacking off drunk when you're dizzy and feel like your blood pressure is high.
Alkies in /druk/ threads hate being compared to potheads, they think it’s liberal to smoke weed and conservative to drink instead of just doing both like normal people. Gotta look cool
>they think it’s liberal to smoke weed and conservative to drink
Please say syke..... Is that really what's stopping some people from being alcoholics?
Also I can't believe there are morons out there who will drink and smoke cigs (cig with drink feels good) but then say weed is bad for you.
Weed immediately makes me break out in hives and start vomiting. I have no idea what being high feels like other than misery.
Must’ve been some mexican brick weed, that shit gives me headaches.
Thankfully I’m only an hour from Grand Rapids so I get top shelf ounces for $50-75 now, lasts a month or two. Used to pay $240 an oz when I was buying from Black folk lol
>Used to pay $240 an oz when I was buying from Black folk lol
They were playing you yt boi
Yeah $10 a g, I didn’t have any other option while living in the midwest. Shit sucked. Them dang darkies
Don't blame the Black folk for you being a dumbass who couldn't find a better connect
Calm down there Black person
>Used to pay $240 an oz when I was buying from Black folk lol
Basically it's like when you're drunk drunk, not buzzed, and everything feels good, but your head isn't spinning and your focus can be very specific or you space out day dreaming. Plus it hits suddenly instead of the 20 or 30 minutes you have to wait from shots.
NTA, but I guess you're just lucky that I'm around right now.
Smoke/use just a very small amount of weed.
I get all weirded out and paranoid and shit if I use too much.
But just a little, perhaps not even just 1/20 of what people regularly use puts me in a very chilled out general state and it's lovely.
Good luck!
How do I not lose my job?
>Why don't you guys just smoke weed?
Yeah, why don’t more people take a drug that can cause permanent psychosis?
if you get psychosis from smoking pot you are a weak pussy
Yeah, but friend of mine went full paranoid schizophrenic.
Sweet guy though, we're still good friends 20 years later.
>Yeah, why don’t more people take a drug that can cause cirrhosis of the liver, death of brain cells, yellowing of the skin, insomnia and anxiety, heart palpitations, and the urge to drive and harm others around you
Bit hypocritical to not do both t b h tbh!
Don’t do either, moron
I'm a hardcore alcohol and I have never driven drunk. The thought has never even crossed my mind even slightly. The moment I have begun to drink, driving is out the window, not even remotely an option, regardless of any inconvenience.
Alcohol can trigger psychosis too, you dumb frick. And the overall cognitive damage caused by alcohol is only comparable to drugs like meth and crack. I don't even smoke weed because I prefer alcohol but what a stupid fricking thing to say
Then dont do either you moron
Because weed makes you feel like a terrible person and want to have a nice day from all the guilt you have from doing stupid shit while drunk.
…do you need to talk about it? we’re here for you, anon
Alcohol (temporarily) helped with my mental issues. Weed only made them worse.
>Alcohol (temporarily) helped with my mental issues.
Now this is cope if I’ve ever seen it kek
can't get it in me fast enough, i smoke mediocre flower out of an old shitty pipe, it's like trying to get blackout off of 2% beers
Weed made me drink. I couldn't tolerate it anymore in my mid 20s and needed something to replace it.
Weed makes me super paranoid, like "too scared to leave the house, thinks friends are whispering and plotting to kill him" paranoid. It also makes me lazy and brain fuzzy at my job. Alcohol, speed and coke on the other hand make me feel confident and outgoing. I've went to the supermarket in broad daylight after being up all night drinking and not cared or noticed what anyone thinks.
Weed hits me way harder than booze, and while it was fun the first few times to feel like I was deeply connected to the universe and to be moved by nonsense psychedelic poetry on YouTube, the novelty quickly wore off and now it's just annoying as I wait for my mind to go back to normal. If I have too much I also become catatonic and unable to physically move or make my muscles work.
I used to drink 4 tall boys of beer and 2 jack and cokes or gin and tonics on a daily basis. Gained 4 kilos in those 2 months (November and December). I feel like shit but at least I’ve been clean throughout this week. Still finna drink a 40 tomorrow tho.
>need to stop drinking
>want to smoke a bowl
>random drug tests at work
Wat do?
Most of the time random tests are only given out when you crash a forklift or cause a safety violation at wherever you’re working.
a bunch of jobs with government contracts have mandated testing that hasnt been updated since the 70s. Even if your in a state with legal weed its still a big problem if you come up on a DOT test or something.
You can even get fricked for smoking where it's legal and getting into an accident a couple of weeks later. I know of a dude from a Canadian company that went down to Texas to work on wind turbines so he smoked in Canada before going down here and there was an accident and he died. Because the autopsy showed weed in his system his family didn't get his life insurance
Trust me, they do.
I did this while watching Shrek 2. I got absolutely shit faced and rolled around the floor yelling their were aliens in my tummy.
>he doesn't stick to beer
ngmi
Hows everyone doing?
Having been an alcoholic for more than a decade (clean and sober for 5 years now), I can tell you that NOBODY drinks like that.
real alcoholics but shots in their coffee or take swigs out of waterbottle in public
if you chugged alcohol like this daily youd die in a month
The world is stranger than you think.
Whats everyone drukking?
I enjoy a nice glass of whiskey or two with my kino. Been a Jameson drinker for a long time, but I'm branching out to bourbons.
When I was in the Army I was going through a handle of spiced rum on Fridays and Saturdays as well as some drinks thrown in throughout the week. There was a period I was drinking on worknights till 3 in the morning then getting up at 5:30 to go to formation and doing workouts or going for runs when I still couldn't walk straight. Then I'd have to go fix radars all day.
Now that I'm out I just smoke weed in the evenings. If you feel you're drinking too much, you probably are. I know it's a cliché, but rock bottom is when you stop digging. You don't need to dig yourself to the grave anons.
>drinking on worknights till 3 in the morning then getting up at 5:30 to go to formation and doing workouts or going for runs when I still couldn't walk straight
Being infantry over half of us were in this state so no one really stood out.
I was in maintenance in the only airborne air defense unit so while they pretended they were hooah they were actually a buncha pogs that acted hard and took shit way too seriously. Shit sucked
Alcohol bros....
https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2019/06/25/what-is-the-most-dangerous-drug
just stay away from hard liquor and you wont ruin your life lmao
t. has never been beaten by his father
Alcohol fricks your brain so hard that you eventually can't function without it. I had wild success in a lawfirm gladhanding drunk every day but then I had a huge nosebleed and passed out in a closet. Nightmare zone.
ngl bruh I do be drinking like on god fr fr no cap
Imagine being some weak willed cuck that can't handle a little alcohol. Yesterday I had a rye and soda with dinner and I think tonight it'll just be on the rocks, occasionally I'll get drunk and go through a quarter bottle of whiskey then get up in the morning go to work and go back to having a single drink with dinner.
I don't understand how people can use alcohol to feel better. I always feel way worse when I'm drunk.
Idk if it’s a blessing or a curse but I’ve been drunk/buzzed but never FRICKED UP like I didn’t remember it the next day and couldn’t control myself. I always get sick after having too much alcohol and can’t get drunker than that without getting a brain-searing migraine.
some people are made to be alcoholic, most aren"t
>I don't understand how people can use alcohol to feel better
Their genetics are different than yours
>why's it called liquor if it won't let me lick her, hmm?
>nobody drinks like that
You will in time
I used to drink like this. I still do drink but instead of it being 4-6 times a week it's about once a week. I'll get pretty plastered one night when I don't have anything going on the next day, play some vidya, shitpost on here, pass out, and hopefully I didn't kill the entire bottle so I can use the rest to treat the hangover the next day. Then I won't touch it for another week or more.
Do you homosexuals just post the same threads over and over?
I'm 32 and would drink 2 bottles of wine and smoke 3 grams a weed every day for almost all of my 20s. I was a functioning addict so I never thought I needed to stop. But when I turned 30 I got bloodwork done during a physical and my Doctor said that I had the body of a 50 year old. Cholesterol through the roof, extremly high blood pressure, 40lbs overweight, etc.
I don't think cold turkey works, so I decided to tweak how I got high and drunk. I stopped drinking all wine/liquor, and switched to light beer. I stopped smoking weed and went to edibles. I downloaded one of those gay walking apps and started walking two miles every night. It's been 18 months now and I've gotten into the ritual of getting home from work and drinking three white claws and two 10mg weed gummies. This seems sustainable and is working for me. I'm sure people would still say that I have addiction problems, but I've lost the weight and my blood pressure has gone down so I don't feel like I'm slowly killing myself anymore.
hmm i did something similar and just did bloodwork at 32 and it was perfect.
of course besides the drinking i was working out and fasting constantly. sucks to be you
wow you're cool bro
fasting is magical. i was a fat frick myself. fasting saw an end to that. also reccomend hot yoga for blood pressure.
i was utterlu shocked my bp was perfect despite all the abuse. excercise and fasting are hell of a fdrugs
I'm 37, and I went heavy on drink a lot. Only the past 10 years-ish I've been drinking so much to the point where I'm now drinking a bottle of Vodka a night. Still get up and do my work (work remotely now which clearly hasn't helped) but somehow still do it. My tolerance levels are stupid now, I went out for New Years and Christmas and I never felt a thing despite all the pints I had. I just felt nothing whilst I seen my friends being pissed etc. I was just waiting until I can get a taxi back to my house.
This has been my life since my early 20s (in my 40s now). Would go to work happy hours and have 5-6 drinks and only have a slight buzz if that when my coworkers would be trashed and unable to drive. Made me popular in the office since I was otherwise a quiet guy who kept to himself.
>beats Tiger Woods after staying up all night drink 3 bottles of whiskey
This guy does, the drunk golf legend John Daly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6yhVsea_N8
>all these anpns talking about losing weight when they stop drinking
Im a 140lbs skeleholic. Im afraid Ill just wither and die if I stop.
Feel bad for the alchy anons here. I'm so lucky that my brain chemistry seemingly prevents me from getting a drinking or smoking addiction. I can quit both and suffer no consequences, outside of occasionally feeling like a beer or two during the week
I drank too much and lost a job anybody in the world would dream of. If I never drank, I almost never would've made mistakes or done something stupid because I'm otherwise smart and a good person. Finally woke up and quit alcohol completely last year, just in time to turn 30 this year. Part of me wanted but didn't dare to hope that I could quit by 30, but without even aiming for it, it just happened.
Stop drinking anons. You will never regret not drinking. It makes life worse. Even if you don't want to stop today, just start being more aware if the extreme and endless negatives to drinking, and your drinking may decrease naturally.
Don't underestimate how dangerous alcohol is. I went to a top 10 university, but I was still dumb enough to get fired from a remote, $250k/yr job, and still didn't quit drinking, that's how powerfully it takes hold of you. You can always convince yourself that it won't happen again, now it's different. It was only when I learned that I was hurting my loved ones by drinking that things finally crossed the line and I couldn't justify continuing to drink.
I'm not sober or a non-drinker, I just don't enjoy alcohol now, because I don't think about the feeling it gives me, I think about what it's cost me and how much it's made me hurt my loved ones
I went to a top tier uni, have a 250k/year job, and drink frequently. You need to be functional though and if you can't you shouldn't drink.
How do you get fired from a fricking remote job brosef. Did you do a telemeeting smashed and call your boss a Black person?
I drink like that
I don't drink and I want to get as drunk as possible. What should I drink?
I drank 750cl of gin last night, 3 beers and wasn't even hungover in the morning. I'm getting a bit concerned.
Surely you mean 750ml?
Yeah, I'm moron
>friend calls me Jan 1st still drunk and tells me all the crazy shit he did at the club and after party
>calls me again that evening crying that he cheated on his gf and bunch other degenerate shit he regrets about that night
>calls me again yesterday saying his gf sucked and he is better off without her and he is going places in life
lmao alcoholics are kinda pathetic
you already know that for me, it's Harwood Canadian
I'm sucking at home alone. So fricking bored. I wish I had a sweet little girlfriend or something. Wtf do I do? Should I start drinking? The store is 5 minutes away and has $10 bottles of vodka. It'd be so easy... It's not like I have any reason not to do it; no one would care, no one depends on me, no one loves me.
I think I'll start drinking.
I love you anon. You deserve a drink.
If it makes you feel any better once you have people depending on you the pressure will be even worse and when you're in the darkness that bottle will whisper at you that you can deal with everything another day. It's not the right answer but it's an answer.
