hit me up dude

I _mostly_ don't drink. That is to say I just don't really like it, and I train too often to be hung over so for the most part I rarely ever drink.

I have to quit drinking alcohol

I have, at times in my life, drank like a fish.

Though where that saying comes from, I'm not sure.

Now my situation is such that I bought 6 bottles of wine after Thanksgiving, and I have 4 of them left. I enjoy the ritual of a glass of wine now and then, without the need to drink myself into a blackout.

The last man standing for me in terms of ingestible addictions is caffeine. I don't drink coffee, but do get testy when deprived of my Diet Dr. Pepper.

Rexk, man, you can hang with me and we'll drink water and Diet Coke and coffee all night long - and remember the fun in the morning ;)

Only my daily 6 pack beer :pimp:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I don't drink, I just smoke weed and snort 'caine

I recently gave up drinking.

I'm not a drinker.

Maybe twice a year I buy a 12 pack of labatt blue. Usually after about 6 of them, they're so old they taste like they were filtered through an old gym sock, so I'm not sure that counts.

In any case, it's extremely extremely rare.

A drank heavily from age 15 up to 31 when I was arrested for the 4th time. I passed the field sobriety tests --barely -- but ended up blowing over .33 on the official applause meter. When I checked myself into a treatment center 2 days later I started 4 days of helacious DT's. I spent a month at the in-patient facility and have not had a drink since. February 22 will be 9 years sober.

I think I drank my lifetime quota in less than 16 years. No more for this alcoholic!

OMG bausch....

you know, you... dont really make sense

why do you want to scream out loud that you hate people? why do you think, this is the right place to do it? this is GFY, a forum for adult webmaters built on bulshit, pointless discussions and hate. No one here will help you, and no one here cares about you (or almost no one)

you have made your point clear enough so many times

you hate people... yes, we get it! but the question is, why do you want us to know it? or- better yet - why do you hate people?

also, usually people like you try to change their situation....
and you're emphasizing all the time how you hate people, and you almost get ofended if someone suggests you could be thinking about someone?

ok, let me ask you, are you happy with your life?

you may be feeling good cause you're used to your lifestyle, but i don't think you're happy deep-inside

emphasising how you hate people in real life and telling strangers on an adult industry chat board how you want to " stand on my roof and scream it out loud so the world can hear me!" is strange


if you don't change anything, one day you'll realise, that you've been fooling yourself that you're satisfied with your life, and then you'll go on your roof and jump instead of screaming :helpme

and what you'll reply to me now? you'll reply that you're offended and that I'm patronizing you with my post :arcadefre

9 years thats fucking awesome man

:thumbsup

I am not a drinker, but my girlfriend yells at me when I say I don't drink.

I get sufficiently plastered at least 1 time each year. I'm also a big fan of some frozen melon drink at Applebee's...but it's more like a smoothie than it is a hard drink.

You were one of the ones I was thinking of at the beginning of the thread, but not my job to "out" non drinkers hehe

I will not crack a bottle without the intention of finishing it :glugglug

No wonder you're not a drinker :( I think if the only beer I ever tasted was labatts blue I'd have killed myself a long time ago... :disgust

What's a liver? Is that the hard leathery like shriveled up thing that's supposed to filter my blood? I replaced it with a sump pump filter, works much better.

rarely...

i drink not very often and always fairly, just if there is a good ocasion! in my opinion, it's normal! there is a quote... don't remember exact words, but the meaning is: it's harmful to drink and smoke but it's a pity to die healthy!)

I don't drink more than a year. I have some problems with my health. What can I say? At first it was not easy, because I like alcohol. But right now I feel excellent.

I dont drink alcohol, and feel better for not

Both of us have gone over 15 years without it and we don't miss it. :thumbsup
If he would quit smoking I would be happy.

I claim Irish

I haven't drank in 3 years. I miss it at times. Getting over the first year is the hardest.
:Oh crap

For me it was the first week when my entire body was trembling and enduring excruciating pain from withdrawals. It felt like every inch of me was being squeezed by a vice grip and thinking about a beer or a shot made my mouth water. Then, after the DT's were over for me one of the other patients died going through it. It was at that point, seeing his body being taken away on the gurney that I realized how serious this was for me.

I make it a point to tell people I am an alcoholic. I know there is that "tradition" about anonymity, but there is also a benefit to knowing that there are people like me that were really, really, REALLY fucked up that were able to get sober and stay sober.

:thumbsup

Nice to hear you made it through...scariest thing Ive ever done...if people think Im boring or not a "real" webmaster because Im sober..they can go fuck themselves..some of the smart ass comments in this thread really anger me

I'm developing a crush on Bausch. The kind of crush that can only be expressed from afar because I don't like to socialize or party either. I wonder if Bausch is an Aspie?

So anyway, we threw out all of our alcohol and pills in November; my girlfriend has a drinking problem so I am really happy to be done with all of that. I never drank much, but I did enjoy the security blanket of having alcohol around (which never worked once we moved in together because I'd like to just have it sit there, while she would actually, you know, DRINK it). Every so often I like to pour a glass of wine or a gin & tonic, but mostly just for the ritual of it; I would take a few sips and be done with it. And actually? I did like drinking alone, in moderation (not to get drunk). Now that there's no alcohol (and especially no pills) in the house, I feel kind of deprived but overall happier because of the positive impact on our relationship. I know I *could* still drink, but I don't feel like that's a supportive thing to do at this point.

And I'm in agreement with Fletch: caffeine is a massively addictive drug that is ridiculously tossed down children's throats like it's no big deal while their parents scream about porn on the internet like that's a bigger problem than their kid drinking Red Bulls.

I don't tell people that I don't drink -- I tell them I am an alcoholic. I think the up-front approach prevents stupid comments like that. However, if someone gave my that line of crap I would probably tell them -- and quite honestly-- that I have already drank a hell of a lot more than they have and I am just waiting for their piece of shit sorry ass to catch up.

I am amazed at guys that think they can hold their liquor because they can put down 8 or 10 beers in a night. When I was arrested, my bar tab was in my wallet, and of course it was evidence used against me. I was a selfish alcoholic and I did not buy drinks for anybody but ME, so I know that the bar tab was all mine. The tally? 12 beers and 18 scotch and sodas. And I passed the field sobriety tests. I have yet to meet anyone that could drink like I did (and just stick to alcohol, nothing else).

Oh yeah.. the DT's. A pure delight. Went through those many many times when I drank hard liquor. But also had gotten to the point my body could not longer metabolize alcohol. So I would have to be cardioverted. When I would go through the 'withdrawl' period 12-18 hours later. My heart would flip into B-fib. Only way to fix it was cardioversion (i.e. hit you with the paddles to stop your heart, and then again, to bring you back. The theory you will start on the right rhythm).

Then I stopped drinking liquor, and was fine for a spell. But beer consumption got to the same point, and result. On the 13th time of doing the cardioversion, my sister and 6 month old niece showed up at the hospital. Every other time I had went through it alone, but this day my sister was home with baby.

So THIS TIME I had to look at the people my choices effected. Seeing the worry on my sister's face. Looking at my baby niece. Having to see the end result on others face-to-face was all it took.

After 10 years, I was done.

I did not do any rehab. Did it myself. For the first year I had to learn how to sleep, get over the social situations, and bars, weekends, etc. I had to learn how to deal with conflict, and depression. My body ached. They had told me it can take 6-9 months to get all of the alcohol out of your system because it's in your tissue, etc. That felt about right.

Around the 9 month mark I was much better. Feeling physically, and teaching myself how to deal with social, and emotional situations where I used to hide in a bottle at times.

Three years now, and feeling better. Dropped some weight, and working on getting rid of the rest through thread mill, and new Bowflex. Long go, but I remind myself it took 10 years to get tot this point, and it's going to take some time to get back in shape.

Bravo to you sire.
:thumbsup

I laid in bed shaking and going through the DTs for 9 days once. I have never been suicidal, but man that will make you want to die. And feel like it.

Its a feeling I never want to feel ever again thats for sure.

Yeah, I remember those days. I would have to dry out after a hard liquor bender, and it would take 3-5 days of no sleep, cold sweats, and shakes, crazy thoughts.

I was never suicidal, but I can tell you I NOW better understand why someone would do it.
:Oh crap
