The few hours of mental silence in conjunction with not having to give a shit.
Took the words straight out of my drunk mouth.
Movies. I can only suspend my disbelief so much. But when I'm drunk, I can actually enjoy a movie. Not modern movies though, they all suck ass, even when I'm drunk.
Also: manage your vices so that they don't become degeneracy.
that's true for everything in life
"I know homosexuality is degeneracy, but what's your favorite thing about fucking other guys in the ass?"
shlomo, your projection does not equate.
put a 223 under your jaw
Do they make that in rubber bullets? I only use less lethal rounds.
Booze provides zero return on your investment of time, money & energy.
most of the time that's true... but there's been exceptions where i would massively disagree.
some nights on the piss have been some of the best times of my life without question.
Isn't that hedonism? I'm pretty sure tranny faggots say the same thing about drugs and promiscuity.
Agreed.
Age & getting pissed don't mix well, as you get on.
Older fella here.
My daughter was most likely created due to alcohol and she is priceless so you are wrong .
Social bonding is one use... but then you're bonding with degenerates.
That's how I felt when I stopped going out to bars with one of my college friend groups. I realized that I didn't enjoy bars because of them. I enjoyed them because of bars.
I'll still go out with some friends for a beer or two after a rec league game. But I do things with them that aren't facilitated by booze.
If that's how you view your life dont start thinking about the free oxygen you're suckin down that may lead to a breakdown
Driving
truth
I haven't been able to get pissed since maybe my young 30s. After going through all the young stuff with kids and now being middle aged and in a routine, if I have a drink or two, I just get tired. I don't miss anything about getting pissed.
15 year old me would kill present day me.
For about two summers I drunk insane amounts of alcohol.
Even though I never had head aches and still dont, I just didnt drink regularly. Only when I wanted to get shit faced.
Now its been years since the last time I got shitfaced and I dont even remember when. I must have gotten shitfaced maybe 3 times in the last 8 years?
I think I managed to get super drunk on new years eve 4 years ago. But I also think the trick is to have coffee before.
Also I dont enjoy the flavour of alcohol.
I never developed the addiction. Maybe whiskey is fun to drink or dry wine, but this is it. And weissen beer.
And if I was to get drunk, I d only drink wine or vodka.
I cant touch anything else. Especially rum, or other more obscure stuff like beherovka or slivotitche, ouzo or whatever.
Franciskhaner<<< not sure I'm spelling it correctly is the best heffeweisssn beer you will ever have. Has a monk on the label
try Erdinger
I'm in the same boat. As a teenager, I could polish off the largest bottles in the liquor store myself, and in my early 20s, I could polish off a bottle of Bacardi 151 myself. How I am not dead is probably because I'm descended from Scottish and Irish ancestors.
Ouzo is fucking vile.
Turning off my mind for a few hours and not being forced to think about anything.
These days I don't get drunk anymore. I spend a little more and actually enjoy the complexities of a nice 12 or 15 yo Scotch.
forgetting that i am going to pay for it come first light.
what type do you drink
I only drink Poaldrank.
any alcohol causes me great pain the next day, but wine especially causes "the ills."
wine is for faggots
wine especially causes "the ills."
Could be a sensitivity to the sulfurs involved in wine. We tend to get more susceptible to them as we age as well. A nice, clean vodka(they can be cheap too!) might give you a better drink. Mix with flavored mineral water or other non-sugar based additive. Drink a quart of water before bed.
I honestly like the flavor of beer over most drinks. Then again I only drink water, tea, beer, or the occasional glass of wine.
I become a social wild animal. I can strike up a conversation with complete strangers of high caste, woo hot women totally out of my league, and get into fights and not feel pain. I've mellowed out over the years, but I used to be an absolute savage when drunk. I have so many wild stories. I'm lucky I'm not dead or in prison.
Alcohol has both cemented life-long friendships and destroyed friendships with me. If anything, it's the memories, or lack thereof, that alcohol brings.
Now, I just like to sit on my balcony and listen to music, or turn on the synths and make music. I don't like going to bars and clubs that much anymore. I moved away from where I grew up so I don't know many people around here. I used to not care about going out by myself, but now i live in a liberal hell-hole and can't stand the people around here. The risk of having run-ins with the law is too high. I'm not the type that can just have a beer or two. It's either get blackout drunk or nothing. All or nothing is my motto.
I started drinking at parties and smoking cigarettes as most of the teens in the late 90s, so I was young until a few years ago I ordered ethylphenidate online, then when it was banned the analogs, other research chemicals and drugs such as MDMA, 2cp, Amfetamine and others stimulants because after cannabis I always felt intellectually limited.
Interestingly, during this period, I did not degenerate and I noticed big changes in myself, I started to notice other values in my life. Alcohol, which has always been associated with our lives, began to disturb me even though I never had a problem with it. The same applies to the cigarettes that I have been smoking on and off for about 15 years. I became disgusted with tobacco and after about 4 years if I don't smoke, I can't imagine how I could ever reach for a cigarette. I haven't drunk alcohol for almost 3 years and I can't imagine how I could relieve stress in this way or reward myself with beer. For two years I have not been taking any stimulants apart from coffee and tea because I do not have such a need, although I do not exclude this form of entertainment in the future.
if you can live without alcohol, i would strongly recommend you keep it that way. i was never addicted to alcohol for years, but within the last 12 months i've found myself susceptible to alcohol bigtime... it's definitely addictive in the wrong mindframe and situation. stay away from it for sure.
You are absolutely right.
I caught myself drinking a beer or a few to fall asleep faster, but it had the opposite effect because I woke up at night to pee and drink.
Since I'm not drinking, even my appearance has changed and I have a sharp look back. In some people, the dark rims around the eyes show that their liver is overloaded with alcohol or drugs. Blood pressure often returns to normal after stopping alcohol.
I have never been particularly religious, but when I read this fragment, I got a chill:
1 Thessalonians 5
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety(((shalom))); then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
My best argument for not drinking is that for every drink some filthy jew get rich at your expense.
i remember being straight edge for years and felt no need to do anything. i'll get there again.
