Can you go a weekend without going out or drinking?
 

Every weekend I decide I'm going to stay in and chill and sure enough I end up drinking somewhere or at a bar.

Do people really just stay home for the weekends?

Sure. Find something better to do with your time. Get a hobby.

It has been ages since I have gone out on a weekend and longer yet that I have been in a bar.

.

I was like that in my younger days. Out at the bars every night, even during the work week. Coma drinking. Rinse...repeat.

It gets old.

Lots of good times and great memories, though. If I could remember them, I'd write a book.

I get drunk at home and go on gfy to bullshit with the other degenerates. Much more fun in my opinion.

Exactly, what a waste of money too. At least $100 a night.

I just feel life life is moving around me when I'm home on a weekend night.

Weird I guess.

Why go out when you can spend quality time here with CurrentlySober?

Congrats on being the very definition of an alcoholic. :2 cents:

im addicted of both.like to open my mind as relax

i am jack's sense of accomplishment

Can you be an alcoholic but only drink once a week?

I think at most it's compulsive

Anybody that feels compelled to drink, whether it be every day between 4 to5pm, or every weekend, or every 4th of fucking July during leap year, is an alcoholic. Especially when the recognize it, openly.

It has some sort of control over their overall thought process. They admit it. Sorry to burst your bubble.

You're probably a drunk too. :2 cents:

I have a hobby, drinking!

I actually stay in more than go out. I have a son to play with so we get wrapped up in all sorts of stuff. When we do go out its like to take him skate boarding or to the movies or Skyzone or fishing.

Been shootin' pool since I was four...just old enough to see over the table.

Many of the bars I regularly hung out in had pool tables - even after enough drink to sink the Bismarck, usually I staggered home with more bank than I went with.

But I vaguely recall a few epic fails. :1orglaugh

I learned pool in the Navy, still have my pool cue, it's got to be over 50 years old! It was old when I was given it as a present!

Of course. You must be having issues if you "can't".

I thought I was normal? :glugglug

yes for almost 25years :2 cents:

no shit! i make craft beer and wines :thumbsup crossing over to brewing. you can make a good fucking beer without brewing tho

We have a drink most days or nights. Both Gary & I can go without drinking or thinking about a drink, but then one of us mentions a beer or a glass of wine, then that's it. 2 peas in a pod, living in harmony :1orglaugh

It's not a bad thing, especially when you're out communicating with the real world, enjoying some tapas & enjoying a beer, it's socializing. Unless it's 2 or 3 in the morning, deciding to go to the bar, then it's just enjoying a party :winkwink:

I am forty-six years old, married, and have a teenager. Our big night out was the high school football game, homecoming, and tonight we are attending a small, local concert for some teenage heartthrob my kid likes. Sunday afternoon watching the 40er game on TV. Somewhere between these events I am doing bike rides, ten to twenty miles each.

Bars? lol. Who has time for that?

Was out last night at a trap edm show and it was awesome.
Im sure the kurmudgeons are like wtf is trap edm. Youtube it im sure you will hate it.lol

young crowd , hot chicks ,a few beers and good music.

Def dont go put as much anymore but
If thats what you enjoy then thats what you enjoy.
dont get guilted into not enjoying yourself.

But if u camt maintain ur income, life ,family then yea ur a drunk lol.

I've gone 18 years, so I am thinking.....yes

if your single, no kids. sure. though i never cared for bars. just hanging out with some friends at someone's home is enough for me but even that got old after a while. now im so tired after the day i look forward to going to bed early and maybe sleeping in till 7:30 if i'm lucky.

:thumbsup

I've gone through several cues over the years - back when I got serious into the local leagues - but never taken my own to a bar, of course.

Never shot pool in the military - we didn't have a table in the base rec centre. Just table tennis. WTF? :1orglaugh

In my twenties was crazy and went out all the time and happy to have made it through those years alive. My brother and one of my cousins both mid twenties have never touched alcohol which always blows my mind. I'll fuck with them like sure ya don't want a drink and neither accepts. It's good I suppose but hell I helped finance quite a few bars back in the day.

Today I can still hang but the body doesn't recoup as fast the next day. I'll still go out but nowhere near the old frequency and prefer a sports bar with a good pool table, concert or a nice restaurant. Can still pull chicks substantially lower in age so not like I'm in a walker or anything just kinda been there done that so definitely have mellowed out.

DUI laws weren't as crazy as well when I was drinking consistently. Got pulled over cop made ya pour the beer out and ya kept rolling assuming ya didn't hit anything or kill anyone.

Yes.....

The very first thing that i think before i go out is imaging the place where i would drink my beer

The front piece gets replaced every couple of years, but the back piece is like art and people love looking at it, it has some nice adornments. I take it out every once in a while to a bar, but places I know.

I learned on the base in pearl harbor at the EM club on sub base. I played in some of the bars we went to. My dad has a custom table with 2 1/2 slate that I will get some day. I hope it's after I build the house I want to retire in up in Northern California.

Sure. Last 1/2 bottle of Heineken I had 9 years ago. Didn't drink after that.

I can go a year without drinking

hell, the last time I had anything to drink was on August 16th and that was just 1 beer so ya, I could go without drinking whenever I want and for however long I want.

I've gone years without going out and drinking. I actually can't tell you the last time I did. Maybe a year ago or so.

Nice.

Our local Legion has a 2 1/2 slate table...shot on it many times. But old vets with failing eyes and arthritic hands don't make for good competition.

The same here....

I'm drinking

Sure I went out drinking hard during me early 20's.

I now find bars pure torture with the noise, dumb ass people and smoke.

I did it, this weekend, i am sick :)

Yea when I'm in my 20's. I can't wait for the weekend to come so that I can go drinking on bars. Now I usually spend it with the gf or my dogs.

By the same token anyone who feels compelled to get laid every now and again must be a sex addict, right?
.

The difference between single people and married people with kids is that... Single people are desperately trying to find something to take up their free time, while married people with kids desperately try to find free time.

I don't go more than 2 hours without drinking...

I even set an alarm to wake me every 2 hours in the night!

OK, its not doing me any good, but if I sobered up, the 'DTs' would probably kill me :(

lol so true.

can you explain how it happens ?

yeah me too :1orglaugh

I can relate.. I have been doing this for 20 years already.. every week.. multiple times per week..

I like drinking... sometimes it is way better than the sober reality in a way.. despite the fact that off course I am fooling myself.. it's all a big illusion anyway..

Yeah.. I am probably an alcoholic and more etc etc... GFY! I like sex!

I also like drugs sometime.. and hookers.. and blow! and beer!

In fact.. this mindset actually made me change my life in a way (make money at home, decide when and how much I work, own boss etc) basically so I could spend money in bars... When will I smarten up?


Yesterday I had a meeting and we decided to go for a new real estate project.. a apartment complex here in Aruba, vacation rentals etc.. awesome.. great news.. so me and my partner had yet another reason for a celebration... drunk as hell.. of course..

I do believe in a little balance btw.. don't be a crackhead junkie... so make sure your life is in order.. the basics.. financials are ok.. bla bla.. work hard if you must.. and party even harder when you can and feel like it!

Also use a condom if you can remember how those things work.. I am glad hookers take care of that most of the time.. and girlfriends are clean of course because they are not like me right? So no condom with girlfriends

I like sex btw..

I have a huge hangover now so GFY!

:2 cents::2 cents: SKEETER PEE

I drink sometimes..
