life would be muhc more boring without alcohols, to thx jeffrey

It’s called moderation breh.

I can’t imagine drinking every day. I do have some yakk or whiskey on the weekends with a cigar. Nothing like it.

Cope

its easy for me to drink alcohol and not get hooked. i've probably drunk twice this whole year.. weed on the other hand. that chit is addictive as fuark for me. have to avoid it completely

A wakeup call to anybody here drinking heavily daily. I had a friend that was drinking every night when I first met him 6 years ago. That started about a year earlier. Prior to that his parents pulled him out of college for a DUI so he was all alone while all his friends were at school. He started drinking every night out of loneiness and boredom. He took a few years off and only drank on the weekends. When I met him was when he had been back at every night rate for the past year.

His addiction slowly got worse to where he started drinking about 10 white claws a day at work and drinking at lunch. Would go home and continue. He did that for the last 3.5 years. I have only seen him 2x this past year and he looked terrible. He started smoking out of nowhere about a year ago only damaging his liver even worse. Last time I saw him was in late October and his lips were all crusted, hair long as hell like he hadn't washed it in weeks, and he was doing his usual of just pounding sake at the bar. I finally told him it was time to go to rehab. He cut off communication for over a month.

As of a week ago old coworkers told me I needed to reach out to him as he had turned completely yellow at work from jaundice, and ascites (looking like your carrying a baby due to fluid retention), went to the ER was there for 3 days and wouldn't tell anybody what they said. I finally called his sister and he had cut his family off for the same time frame. I went to see him and his feet and hands were completely swollen. Skin as yellow as could be, sounded like he had the flu, and looked like somebody at end stage liver failure. They told him that he didn't have cirrhosis or hepatatis liver but extremely bad scarring and his days of drinking were done forever or he would die. He's only 34 years old.

I'm trying to take a break for a while. Miscing just isn't the same without alcohol though.

i do excess in moderation.

Trying this as a resolution.

I drink twice a month only, 4 (500ml.) cans of beer in each session.

I don't see a reason to quit because I am not drinking too much at the moment.

Even if I quit, it won't change my mood a bit.

Even if I quit for a few months, I would be doing it again at some point.

So I don't think about it too much, but I have to make sure I drink as less as possible.

Truth.

Gone through periods where I drank too often and always felt off the next day. It gets worse as you get older too. Like everything, moderation is key. It’s fine if I only drink once a week and as long as I drink a large glass of water before bed I don’t feel nearly as bad the next day. Drinking a big glass of water when you’re done drinking is like a hangover cheat code.

honestly, if i lived in pakistan with my parents, i wood be drinking one helluva lot more than that, brah

It I drink Friday and sat my sleep is ruined for half the week only Friday can lift Sunday and sleep great. We ouchea

I used to drink once every 3 days few years ago, so that would be like 10 times a month.

It starts to interfere with other things we do in life or our environment, so control is necessary.

Drinking too much in my 20's is just a memory now, remember too much is boring and tiring. At some stage our bodies will tell us to reduce or stop.

when I take real good care of my liver and have been taking glutathione and nac and tudca, I have zero effects from alcohol.

This. I drink once or twice a week and it makes no difference whether I take time off or not. People who claim they feel "so much better" never drinking at all are either drinking way too often and want to copevince themselves it's worth the tradeoff, or they're coping alcoholics who hate being sober.

I've known countless alcoholics in my life, and they all have phases where they just prattle on and on about how life is SOOO MUCH BETTER sober before going on another bender. If you drank with even some moderation, life wouldn't be all that different other than being mildly hungover a day or two on the weekend.

This is no different than Karens who say LIFE IS SO MUCH BETTER EATING CLEAN & go on about how much better they feel on their diets all week, only to cave & stuff their cawksuckers full of candy and ice cream on Saturday night.

Being sober and eating nothing but "clean food" isn't sexy or fun, and if you actually do it right, you don't fuking talk about it all day. You just fuking do it. You also most likely still drink & eat less healthy chit, you just do it in moderation like a healthy person instead of a desperate sad fuk.
