Alcohol

My guess is that it's a result of modern life's meaningless existence, breakdown of societal values and morals, and the high stress as a result unnatural high tech living.

I do it to suppress my higher brain functions. I don't really have anything to live for. I also have nothing to die for. I completely lack purpose.

So, you see, I don't want to think too much. I'm perfectly happy to be apathetic. I fear that if I keep my head clear for too long, I might just fall into a depression.

I drink a few drinks every night. Rarely do i ever even get a buzz. Had a Dogfish Head peche last night while grilling ribeyes for the senpai. Then drank a Dogfish Head Seaquench lime ale with my steak. Later on, as i watched storms roll into the area, drank a white russian which had just one shot of espresso vodka in it.

Drinking is the only thing that cures social anxiety. I also like a good drink because it brings out my giddy side. I just scroll through Jow Forums laughing at so many of the posts. When sober I don't feel anything, I'm never happy or sad, just a blunt unsociable zombie, with no emotion behind my eyes.

You are such a faggot..

>Drinking is the only thing that cures social anxiety.
Not as good as coke and amphetamines

>Drinking is the only thing that cures social anxiety.

Not as good as hitting the gym and becoming Chad.

People binge drink to treat anxiety and depression. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

>feel anxious and depressed
>drink heavily
>feel like shit in morning and more anxious and depressed than ever
>start all over again the next day

>hitting the gym and becoming Chad.
B-b-but that means leaving the house

I used to be able to drink half a handle a night. Now it’s a wild night for me when I drink half a fifth. Honestly, if you aren’t a weak human being, alcohol is just like any other food/drink. Enjoy it. Never turn it into a tool. I used it as a tool one time in my life when I was fired from a job for the first time. Drank a handle a day for a whole weak. Then it turned into budgeting for my weekly handle while between jobs and wracking up credit card dept and dipping into savings. Dark times for me. I know I am fortunate to have those be my worst times.

drinkin is fun and tastes good so whatever

if weed was legal id rather do that though, alcohol is bad for you and makes you fat

It’s a disease called “alcoholism”. You can type it in google and will find a Wikipedia page. Also, these people you call degenerates are most likely serious addicts.

Society is sick, so people voluntarily get sick. Also people are way lonelier than they were even 10 years ago. People use it to drown out negative emotions, or at least dull them.

Anyone reading this should try doing at least a month totally sober, it doesn't seem to do much at first, but after a few weeks you noticeably feel better and healthier.

No it doesn't. Do pushups, sit ups, find something to do pull ups on, burpees, w/e. You can get that puberty abs build that drives hoes bezerk. Also, eat healthy.

i go to the gym every night after work except sundays and i drink whenever i have a day off, i dont enjoy anything and im plagued with anxiety and depression. i only feel like a normal person when im drunk

I drink because my brain won't let me enjoy weed anymore and I do not want to start taking opiates

because society is collapsing but nobody will talk about it. I used to get wasted every day for about 7 years, but stopped when I overcame nihilism and made something of my life.

Drinking Whiskey in moderation is good for you, all other Alcohol is just pure liver killing trash.

more people drink heavily because more people drink heavily.
it's social pressure.
you can help by drinking moderately.

Used to binge drink vodka a lot. I liked being drunk and numb, felt good. In fact I could go for a stiff drink right now.
But I'm four months sober now because I was too babby to deal with hangovers. Didn't want to make a routine out of degeneracy where I'd wake up hungover and do this that and the other thing just to function. So, I quit.
In a weird way my laziness toward planning and strategizing saved me from alcoholism. Didn't want to map out plans just so I could drink so, fuck it, quit drinking.

Boredom. Everything is fucking boring nowadays.

>7-8 triple shots a night

So 20+ drinks a night? Bruh...

You have a terrible view of yourself, and you get all your social stimulation from electronics, including porn. You don't progress at the gym (or you're lying about going daily) or at your job/schooling. You probably eat poorly and don't get enough sleep. You have no future endeavors besides striking it rich trough (insert meme) because you can't see doing it any other way.

how far off am I?

anyone else think in the future we might look back on drinking the way we look at cigarette smoking now? it's clearly not good for you and big alcohol spends billions a year on PR making it look sexy and something you should do.

i heard a crazy statistic that alcohol companies depend on alcoholics for nearly half of their profits. "drink responsibly" indeed

I did that and you're right, you do feel better but then afterwards you start to think "Jesus, is this all there is to live? Going to work, going to gym, then going to bed" It's so fucking boring and alcohol just relieves it temporarily then you start it all over again.

the older you get, the less things you can feasibly do. the less productive you are, the more you will end up sitting around getting drunk for fun. why be clear headed when you're just sitting around retired watching daytime TV?

the trend has gone up, you have to be insane to deny that.
where in the fuck have you seen 14 year old drinking vodka in the past?
my parents were surprised when i drank a fucking beer when i was 15-16.

I've been consistently lifting at home for 3 months and my body is the complete opposite of that. I have the body of a middle aged man who used to play sports in high school. Then again I started out from being chubby.

>ten years an alki(by OP standards)
honestly, crippling social anxiety and depression. I'm afraid to take any chance to make tings better so I drink and smoke heavily to cope.

>all these hard alcohol faggots

A glass of red wine a night, stop drinking the hard shit.

Calories in calories out. I bet you feel better at least, and you're not going to get anywhere without pushing yourself to failure or damn near every workout. You need to be eating mostly protein and veggies. You need to be taking vit sups, and you need to get a gym membership and lift heavy.

not as long as opiates are handed out to everyone with back pain

Eventually you can get 10/10 every night and still be bored as shit on workdays. Sure it makes things funnier, makes music better, etc, but in the long term alcohol has no good effects.

Doing almost anything is better than drinking non-socially.

Alcoholics always drink themselves into a deep hole, trust me. It's better to find different habits/hobbies.

did that for ten years. now enjoy a bottle of cider on the weekend. Don't enjoy the feeling of getting runk though,

Sitting in front of a computer screen posting here has zero good effects. I enjoy drinking once or twice a week, relieves some stress and makes life satisfying. I've had zero problems with my health and am in better shape than 90% of men in their 20;s.

I’ve used this argument that society is fucked to justify my drinking, but it’s like poisoning yourself expecting the other person to die.

I think most would rather smoke some bud. I know I would.

But laws, yo.

Whiskey will definitely give you cirrhosis, bro.

Weed just puts me in negative thought loops, can't enjoy it anymore.

I used alc to get away from reality but nowadays even if I drink my thoughts focus on the state of the world.

weed stopped working for me aswell, never used to drink regulary but now I need to combine the two to get a good sleep.

I was pretty bad for several years. It cost me a lot. Physically, I'm healthy, but it shattered many family and personal relationships. I was drinking about 1.75 liters of liquor a day by myself.
I hear lately there's more evidence of genetic disposition to it, but I wouldn't blame that. I was just not well mentally, and the liquor at first made me feel better, then my body just craved it, so I couldn't stop.
I've been having nightmares, reliving how I hurt the most gentle, innocent woman I've ever known. I cheated on her with someone who was easy, and when it all came out, I could tell I hurt her beyond repair. These dreams make me want to drink myself to death, but that'd be too easy. I need to suffer.
I'm so sorry, Jessica. I'll always love you.

I don't like the taste of wine nor beer. I enjoy making my own mixed drinks, because it tastes better and I can change up the flavor with different mixers.

Alcohol consumption was three times higher on average 100 years ago.

tell me more about being a girl

Because everyday life is grey and miserable. People are not drinking more heavily than before, they are practising escapism more and more. Sell your life to a company "so you can be successful) and you will know what I'm talking about.

Same. I am also a better and more interesting person with a good buzz. Sad but true.

>if you don't like wine or beer you are a girl!
>if you're smart enough to buy your own bottles of whatever you prefer and mix your own drinks you are not manly!
Why don't you go back to the bar and pay a shit ton more if that makes you feel so manly

>Denying manhood based on tastes in alcohol.
Tell me more about being an IPA-swilling basedboy that doesn't drink exactly what he wants when he wants because it's the only way he can demonstrate masculinity. What's it like not being able to bench press your bodyweight?

I'm a teetotaler and I feel awesome.

Alcoholism is a defunct that spreads from state of mind to addiction. You ever have those moments of dread where you just want to forget and get shit faced? Thats how it begins. Then you find yourself drinking all the time to avoid constant withdrawal symptoms.

You faggots really shouldnt mix your drinks, not because it feminine, but because you'll drink more because of it.

If something is easy to scarf down you'll drink too quickly. Fruity sweet drinks will make you consume more becuse you're chugging the stuff instead of sipping it in an iced glass.

Moderation is key.

It not.a new phenomenom. Its been going on forever. Drinker (not alcoholics) are based. Tesla did it. Look it up. He used to get trashed every night on schops and then did his theory. Alco is not degenerage at is seems.

Just because someone likes mixed drinks doesn't mean they don't know what their limit is.
also you should know that not all mixed drinks are fruity. Personally I prefer vodka with Seagrams ginger ale.

Afaik drinking is going down in every country in the west. Personally I have these on/off seasons and it's usually writing or some other creative work that triggers the drinking season. I can see why so many famous writers drank a lot or used drugs.

Trump too come to think of it.

Scandinavia literally went into several crisises because of alcohol. When my dad grew up it was common for farmers to hand youngsters booze as payment.

Southern Comfort with apple juice and ginger ale is a godsend.

I use to drink before I started working out, it seemed like the healthier I got the more alcohol just made me feel like shit and held me back.
The last time I had a beer in my hand was out of habit and I realized I was dreading drinking it so I threw it away.
Then a few days later I had this weird dream of this fat guy following me on the to the gym, he kept tying to hand me a beer saying "don't you want a beer? How could you not?" but I kept backhanding him out of sight.
Then he came back the last time as no joke a fucking deathclaw from the fallout franchise screaming "YOU CAN'T BEAT ME!" But i was already with my gym bros at our rack (weight set/ bench we use) and my bro was like "guess we gotta take care of that first." so we threw bar bells at him until he was bloody against the wall and I ran up and finished him off with a 45lb bar bell.
That was my last withdraw symptom.

Its because weed is being legalized here in the states. Swapping cigarettes and alcohol for cannabis. Its a good thing as the physical addiction of those 2 cause millions of deaths a year while weed is near harmless in that regard. Someday humanity will evolve further off weed to psychedelics as we move further away from physically harmful substances.

You have to be underage no one shotguns beer pass teenager years.
I loving living in a place we're cannibis and booze is socially acceptable.

You can drink and still hit the gym

You can, but alcohol tends to lengthen recovery time.

i'm completely alone and can't get a gf, alcohol helps a lot

>drink to escape the past
Confirmed nigger faggot faggot nigger.
I drink to relax after work or on my off days.
Good job on thinking like a nigger.

but if you ever want to reach your full potential you gotta leave the booze behind.
Drinking is bad for you anyway and it only makes you THINK you feel better.

Stop being a lightweight faggot who drinks light three percent apv beer.
Varg would laugh at you.

but you feel "comfortably numb" for couple of hours. It's something in this fucked up life.

Maybe if you have bad genetics

Been there done that.
Lifting to get womyn is compensation.

>Drinking cheap Tesco whiskey and Pepsi max cherry. Got work in the morning too and smell like B.O. Between my legs smells all fishy and sweaty as well.

yes, alcohol wrecks the society and a nation. again, there is nothing wrong with drinking beer a day, or a glass of wine, but these days my generation (18-20 year olds) are given money on hand by their parents and drink several bottles of vodka in one night, and they throw up, and later brag to their peers about what they did.

Story time :
>be me 20, all friends are older around 22-24. We go to a 22 and over club to look for bitches and fun.
>walk in to find a 2:1 ratio of girls to guys
>timetograftatit.Jpeg
>start playing numbers game, find a cute 7/10 blonde
>Ask her what she is studying.
>"oh my main subjects are science history and biology."
>holdup.Jpeg
>i ask her age and she's fucking 16 years old looking around 22.
>inb4imapedo, I literally walked away from the jailbait.
>Regroup with friends to discover they are also in shock that the age here is like 16-17 at best.
>Gtfo of there.

I don't bother going out to clubs unless they're a private event, because young girls are always getting into the older clubs because of the shitty owners/ bouncers.

I wonder if the fat man represents being out of shape and the deathclaw represents perversion from technology, in this case intoxication (Deathclaws are from genetic engineering, right?)

Several bottles of vodka in one night? dafuq?

I drink what I want when I want: beer, wine, mixed drinks, hard liquor straight, radlers, cheladas, etc. I know my limit because I'm not a woman or a child. You can avoid scarfing down something too fast because it's tasty by taking pride in the dignity of not being a fat freak that eats and drinks like an animal.

i had a friend who had to get his stomach pumped at the hospital, shit is fuckin' stupid.

Oh no, fatso is mad at me! Come back when you can do a pullup, faggot.

It's not to get women, it's to battle social anxiety.

same here, exact situation. except i am 19 yo. private parties are rare here, i haven't heard of one unless it was a birthday party.
but yeah, exact same situation.

I thinks that's super mutants, I never played 4 so idk.

Can confirm. Working out makes me feel better in my own skin even though i still hate myself. Plus its healthy and useful for mobility reasons.

Would have been a real travesty if you got with a fertile, sexually mature girl whose partner count wasn't approaching double digits that night.
