Chug em all > bam: immediate buzz.
unless you have an excessively high tolerance in which case, my condolences friend.

I cant drink my emergency booze.

I usually drink six days out of the week. Usually two drinks per day; occasionally one. I don't consider myself an alcoholic.

I used to drink. Haven't drunk since last year.

What? So you're just going everyday sober? How is that possible?

That makes you retarded. Hell by the average definition half that is alcoholic: that said I drank six-seven days a week for a good three years. Now I drink 2-3 times a week but still have this issue
Once I start I won't stop so I am very picky about day drinking because I'll drink far too much and the next day(s) are hell

I try not to but people get salty when i dont drink with them

But when i drink, often by myself. I have 2 micky's of wiser whisky. Thats to get drunk.

To get smashed i drink 4

Hell yeH nigga

I don't know what you consider to be the "average definition" of an alcoholic, but what I described is below the FDA's cutoff for moderate drinking. Is it possible for me to be an alcoholic without being addicted and without suffering any ill effects from drinking?

At least get a vape man, give your lungs a break

I'm the same way. I wish I could just enjoy a couple drinks and a mild buzz like normies do, but it's all or nothing for me. Once I get a buzz I feel compelled to keep drinking until I'm numb. So I try to only do it at night, a couple nights a week.

I used to get wasted at least three or four times per week.

I've managed to only drink twice since the beginning of April. Had a couple shots with friends one weekend, cracked and opened a beer alone last. Didn't enjoy the feeling and emptied my bottle into the toilet before going to bed.

Hope I can keep it up.

Last time I quit was in the summer of 2015. It was like stepping out of a dense fog -- my mind was so much quicker and faster. Really felt like a teenager again, in terms of how swiftly I could grasp new ideas or improvise solutions on the spot. Was like having a superpower.

yeah i don't know if i could live without alcohol at this point it's just something that has become a part of my life. things are genuinely just better and funnier and being numb to everything after drinking almost half a liter of whiskey in a sitting is too good

I know that feeling. I go through cycles where I'm not drinking and I feel energetic and on top of things, but eventually it feels like too much. The energy is followed with anxiety, and I need to beat down my overactive head with booze, but then that makes me feel shitty after a while, so I stop again, repeat.

I'm going back to school in a couple weeks and need to stay sober.

I've ditched cigarettes, too, and finally feel like I've regained some sense of normalcy. TBQH I need to stay away from alky or I'll wind up ruining myself for good.

I've been sober for 4 days and it sucked it first but now I'm sleeping better. I wanna have a sensible relationship with alcohol where I can just enjoy a couple of nice beers at a time but I don't see it happening.

I've never drank before. Can any robot verify the rumor that those who try drinking later in life are more likely to be alcoholics?

I'm not physically dependent on alcohol, as in I don't get the shakes or feel sick without it, I just get so bored at night when I don't drink. I don't have any friends, all I have are the internet and vidya. I laugh and smile more when I drink, and I'm more sociable in online games. Life is starting to feel like shit without it. Nobody told me that alcoholism could be like this. I'm trying to slow down and pace myself more, this is my first sober night in about a week. I'm only concerned about stopping because I'm worried about my health, and I read that heavy drinking can cause ED over time which really fucked me up

When I don't have to study, I drink a beer or two daily, but I have to study a lot so I don't drink that often. I get wasted once every other week. Am I an alcoholic? Not at all, but I could clearly be if I had less self control, because I enjoy alcohol a lot.

You will get the shakes. Being a 28 year old who gets this any day I don't drink is good fuel for memes and self deprecating humor but in reality it's sad, I'm so young, and I'm dying.
I wonder if I will ever be able to casually drink. At least I'm drinking about 1/4 as many days as I used to, even if I'm still binge drinking

Fireball is for girls, user. You're not a GIRL, are you?

eh, it's homemade fireball. not the shitty sweet store bought stuff.

Haven't drank in 5 months.

This. Except, unironically, I'm not 100% sure I'm an alcoholic. Rather, I'm 100% I'm a drug addict. Alcohol is my favorite drug, and I've tried more than I can remember. I found my dad dead within the past month and took all of the opiates and benzos he was prescribed. The 60 pill 10mg oxy prescription lasted me a couple days and was fucking incredible, but hard liquor is still better. As for the benzos, I have no idea why anyone thinks these have any recreational value.

same. r u me?

Also, I should mention that my dad died of heart failure, which was exasperated by his cancer which was caused by alcoholism. I unironically feel bad that he was forced to take benzos for the past few years, then topped off by opiates the past month when he was diagnosed with cancer. The alcohol feels much better.

Once every 2 or 3 weeks, fairly heavily.

For me, it's two Tokyo Iced Teas at the bar down the street, stumbling back to my apartment, laying down on my couch, and looking out my window seeing the empty alleyway while listening to piano/jazz shit on Youtube

It's probably weird, but it works for me. It lets my soul free for the night.

I binge drink without fail on the weekends, every friday ive been picking up two fifth and some beer which i will then go through in two days.

All i look forward to all week is being able to drink my self into a comatose state to escape for a while.

Recently its become a problem. I really am jus a fucking mess. I was up for 3 days amd friday rolled around and I slammed a bottle of jim beam on a completely empty stomach and passed out on the dining room floor. My roommates woke up at 1 in the morning to me trying to get up and falling over. They entered the room and I then puked all over the floor, fell in my own puke and got up to take a piss in the living room. I was too drunk to undo my pants so I just pissed myself right there. They led me to the bathroom and left me there.

The other bad time was when I gave myself alcohol poisoning from everclear (151 proof) and slept in a clogged bathtub of my macaroni vomit.

I drink about a litre of beer a day, almost always on an empty stomach

Is this bad?

daily.
i don't have a physical dependency on alcohol but i definitely have a psychological one.

As much as I can afford. And yeah probably. Been sober for like a week because I'm broke. Thankfully I don't have the shakes but being sober is the worst thing.

never, sadly. 19 and dont leave the house so i dont have any reasonable way to get it. taken a few beers from my dad a couple times and enjoyed it but got no way to keep it up

Ask your dad to buy for you, that's what I did when I was underage. Mine always hooked me up, but he kept my change and bought himself a few 40s as payment. Was worth it.

not sure he'd go for that. as cool as it'd be, he's not gonna buy liquor for his suicidal hermit drop-out son

i am drunk right now.

Sounds lile good times.

Sixpack of beer in one sitting, 2-3 times a week.
> are you an alcoholic
By some definitions probably, don't consider myself one though.

BEER and Wodka every singel day. 10 beer and 0.2 Liter Wodka

i drink constantly. i don't think i'm an alcohol because i don't feel compelled to do it but i just don't have anything better to do and no real reason not to be drunk. nothing bad really happens either. i just get a little obnoxious and eat an entire pizza. but i'm trying to monitor myself in case i start to go too overboard.

How's that working out for you? Better or worse from where you were

I get piss drunk every few days, just makes me feel nice and warm and forget about everything. I don't think I am, I know it's a meme to say, but I can definitely stop when I want to, I just don't want to stop lol.

>the shakes
d-does it start with hands?

Used to drink from those $10 jugs of booze basically every night after my mother went to bed. Met a girl, and I haven't really felt the urge since. Not even dating, just talking.

Pretty much every weekend with the boiz

Every other day and usually not much, never more than a pint of 80 proof in a day.

There was a point in time where I was drinking to excess daily for over a month and I had quite the fun time coming off of it, delirium tremens and the shakes and all that.

I went from every other day to a binge of 2-3 days once a month or so, however when i do drink its alot and always black out and woken up with shame.

for the past two years I've been getting drunk almost every day but lately it had gone a bit crazy so I stopped
been two weeks, get the occasional beer but that's it
I miss it but I feel better so I'll continue, and the finances feel better too

did you replace it with anything? i'm sort of in the same boat, drank near enough daily, whiskey out the bottle every day/night, i need something to get me through the days and weed doesn't cut it.

My earliest memory of alcohol was my mother projectile puking all over the floor then falling face first into it when I was seven. She isn't an alcoholic or anything but that put me off ever wanting to drink.
> tfw you don't drink alcohol or coffee or tea.
> tfw less ways to try and socialise.

Yes, yes and yes.... When my watch ends, I drink.

Alcohol is a Integral part of my family, fucking boozers.

i try to avoid drinking, i use to drink a lot, i have been trying to stop drinking for good but i guess i lack the strenght,now i almost never drink but when i do i drink until i passed out and wake up sleeping in the street or something like that in the next morning, happens all the time

i forgot when i started drinking.
it has to be about 3 years now. i failed at therapy and had to quit so i started drinking.
the first to years it was good against boredom now. then i realized it was just seeks relocation.
i used alcoholism to slowly kill myself.
in the third year i got used to drinking and i am binge dringing everyday.
I tried another run to change things in my life and yesterday my theapist told me i have to quit again. somehow i can't allow anything to chance.
i am also loosing my job currently and now since I have reached the first archiements of killing myself with alcohol i start to regret a lot, but i want to die more than ever.

i did't drink last night and i feel like shit now.
have to sell everything i own to make it throuh the next time.

wish i had someone to talk to in rl.
not even fucking therapist want to listen to my
i wish i had the life of anyone else. i want to be happy.

>how often do you use the Internet?

>don't work?
>x mental illness you have
Humans have drank alcohol on a daily basis for thousands of years. If it takes ten years or more to kill you, you may as well, as they do, call everything poison, due to too much of anything hurting you.

I personally go weeks without drinking, but when I do, I drink approximately twenty ounces of 80 proof per day, on my benders, of which never hardly even last a week. What hurts me, as a neet I run out of money when I get it, so after the bender, I go through withdrawal every single time. The withdrawal is what could be killing me, but go ahead and be a faggot and think otherwise.

talk to us user. what exactly makes you unhappy? what is your drink of choice? what did you start out drinking? do you feel any better about the things you're sad about when you're drunk?

Haven't had any since Feb 1 2013, yes.

Roughly 30 cans a week

well i have to disagree, here in czechia beer cost from 6-25 crowns, 23 crowns is 1USD so you could technically buy 4 bottles of beer for 1 USD here

I started drinking when I was 14 and ever since. I think 14 is pretty normal in England as it's legal at parties

well i cant verify anything but if you havent drank anything then youre in a loss, here in czechia 13$ of our population is alcoholics
google it

Me.
My first drink was vodka kek

what the fuck is fireball

i belive youre a pole
greetings from czech republic

>how often do you drink?
Never. I look at my father and desire to drink vanishes right away. Don't want to end up being him.

I wish I could end up like my dad. He was an alcoholic who never strayed from alcohol until he was prescribed benzos, then opiates. He died at 71 and was also one one of the first computer programmers in America.

I've been having around 5 drinks a day for 2 years. I'm 23, didn't really drink in my teens.

Is this a lot for 3-4 days? I restock weekly and drink a little throughout the day, then a lot at night to put me to sleep.

Not really. I feel pretty confident saying I could down all the beer and wine coolers in a single night.

>bottle of 40% vodka
>37 beers
>two malt beers
>500ml of 60% whiskey
>a pint of beer
yeahhhh i'm pretty sure you'd be fucking dead

Small glass on nights that I feel like it. I just finished a bottle of rum last night that that I bought on about one month ago. So nah, I don't think that addiction works on me, for whatever reason. I've gone through hell to deal with porn addiction, but as much as I enjoy having a nice drink, I don't need it.

Nice bb gun, fag.

I said the beer and wine coolers, not the hard liquor. I stand by that, too

>600 fps steel pellets
>still deadly at point blank
and they'll never know who did it since my fag gun doesn't have to be registered :^)

if i try to not be shitfaced
>mostly go to local small comfy pub have 2-4 beers
>listen to old dudes
>can't go full retard when im outside as easy cuz other humans
>get home all okay but cost loads

if im alone
>cheap
> a bottle of vodka
>2 beers and a cider
>blackout/passout or drink untill morning listening to music

OI m8 im from Germany. :D

if its spread over 4 days, not really that much.
i think I drink more when its spread out over differing alcohols, but if I stick to my cheap handle of vodka it's much easier to measure how much I drink each day and (attempt) not to go past it.

the best times are right in the morning when you wake up and have an empty stomach (dat burn) and of course after the work day is over. the rest of the day is just managing things while managing a buzz and not letting one overpower the other

Practically every friday and sometimes also every saturday. I might have a beer or two on wednesday, but very rarely.

I haven't drank booze in more than a year. Last time I had any was at a wedding over a year ago that I didn't even want to go to. I do smoke copious amounts of weed though.

>drinking cheap vodka at wakeup and after work
i see you're a man of culture, i also try for the evening buzz but end up overdoing it.
>this thread made me realize i don't drink that much actually

Your digits have been culturally witnessed.

Take some more laheys

me and the wife drink almost nightly and play smite together. everclear and applejuice. perfect drink. and no im not an alcoholic because fuck you.

>seeing that gif of him stumble out the trailer park for the first time
>think being drunk is fun
>do it every night
>WRONG
ree i fell for the whiskey meme

>smite
only someone who's drank their brain cells away could tolerate smite, how is it with achilles? i stopped a few months ago but wanted to get back in.
>is cu cucachoo still king

no, I feel good now and even if I have the itch to drink every morning to take the edge off, I don't because I don't want to go back into it
I get a beer sometimes after dinner, that's it
used to be whisky, rum or two strong beers first thing out of bed just to deal with waking up for work, then drink more throughout the day to keep the buzz going
I'm clear headed now and it feels like an improvement
