(I almost wanted to make this question another thread... But I didn't, cause I dont want to seem like I'm attention seeking... :2 cents:)

OK, so if I said to you - Money is no object - You no longer need to work - You are set for life.... - & You CAN afford whatever drink you like - You can drink as much as you like, when you like...

Would you not do it?

You cant 'break the law' and smoke cannabis, or do any other 'illegal drug' - But you can drink legal alcohol...

Would you REALLY not do it?

I guess it has to do with your outlook, which may be jaded by childhood experience. but whenever i see someone whos excited over everyday life i think they're idiots. like a monkey getting excited over a banana.

do you smoke weed or take any medication?

Is this the first you've learned about an alcoholic, your posts in this thread are incredibly naive.

So yes I can not comprehend what should happen to your brain so that you would choose to drink 1L of vodka every single day.
Basically I can not understand how could anyone choose to poison themselves and choose to make their health worse. - this is what I can not comprehend. Not the fact that there are millions of people doing that.

And no I am not more concerned about redbull than vodka, it was a side topic when I replied to someone's post about redbull in general.
And after saying that vodka is worse than redbull I still say - it is better to poson yourself with vodka + juice than with vodka + redbull as it INCREASES number of bad things that will or may happen to you. Less posion is better than more poison. While alcoholics can not stop drink alcohol, they at least can stop drinking redbull crap. It just worsen things.

Ultimately life is what you make it, you sound like you're suffering from depression and masking it with alcohol. Not going to give you the rah rah speech, but there's been millions who have been dealt a horrible starting hand and went on to lead happy successful lives. Instead of mocking happy people, why not learn from them.

And unlike other drugs, everyone who is at the starting out age is told alcohol is great. Sure you choose at that point whether to drink or not, but having zero idea or any possible comprehension that you may be one of the minority who get affected totally different than the majority.

It's like the boiling frog - put a frog in a pot of boiling water it'll jump right out. Put the frog in cold water and turn the heat on, and it'll sit there until it boils to death.

Now, at 32, when I drink I'm laid out in bed with a nasty hangover for an entire day or two. It makes drinking not even worth it, really. It's like if I want to drink for a night with some buddies I have to plan on taking two or three days off from everything just so I can recover. Because of how severe my hangovers are now I rarely drink anymore. Once a month, sometimes twice. I miss being young!

Come on Currently Sober, I am not your biggest fan, but you can do better than this. You have given up before, who says you cannot do it again? Your obviously a smart guy who has fallen on some shit times.

wouldnt say im depressed. just indifferent. not sad, not happy, not mad. not much excites me. could be because i grew up in a rough place

like i said as long as you pace yourself, can control your emotions, and dont black out and act a fool. your only problems will be with others who think its bad for you.

I wasn't necessarily referring to your drinking, but more how your entire outlook on life seems jaded and negative.

Supposed to be, no, capable of, yes. Nice exaggeration though with the bunny rabbit and robot, nowhere did I suggest that. You can make wise choices and be content with life without being overt in your demeanor. Being wired one way doesn't have to define your path in life.

wasnt really toward you directly. your comments are the typical though. but yeah its a belief of mine that you have to be really naive to get off on everyday life. no offense tho, i wish i could ignore it all by doing stupid shit.

If you spent a month with me youd agree with everything id have to say about it, and youd hate me because id burst your rainbow bubble. id get from you stuff like "just enjoy it", "life is what you make of it". you spend your life trying to avoid thinking about this stuff, as do most
