Drinking problem - individual perceptions

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

Alcoholism is so prevalent in Western societies. Whatever. It's a crutch and a vice for people, if it relaxes some prick who's been doing digging ditches all day, I really don't think it's an issue so long as he isn't flogging his wife or spending little Nathan and Jaydee's school trip money on slabs.

I have friends who work real, proper jobs, who have long days dealing with arseholes or trees and wood. I remember spending a few months at my parents last year, going to a mate's, and he grabbed two slabs: one for a few of us that night, and one to polish off after work every day. Struck me as bizarre, I've never really enjoyed just having one or two because that slight level of pissiness just annoys me, but is it really an issue? If that keeps you happy, whatever. It's better than eating McDonalds every day or being an office johnny who sits down all day and never does exercise between his binge-drinking weekends.
 
I'm doing Ocsober this year. Please donate to a very worthwhile cause. Thanks in advance.

I'm not that into drinking, or rather, I like it at the time but regret having massive drinking sessions the day after.

I think a lot of people think once they've had six or seven they may as well have fifteen and to me that is just a waste of money, time and a day after. It usually ends up with me calling girls, being obnoxious and making other bad decisions; usually on Ebay.

If I'm going to be doing drugs alone though, I'd rather have a few joints. These days I'll smoke on two or three nights a week and it makes me more more productive, alert and happy. Much more preferable than nursing a hangover, having to piss every two hours and ingesting too many calories.

So this weekend feels just as wasted as when I do drink. All I could think of doing was going for a drive, went for a 4 hour outing just checking out places along the mornington peninsula all the way down to gunamatta. Anything else I thought of doing may have got me into a situation to drink so I stayed home. The only positive out of this is I don't feel like crap the day before going to work and spending the day catching up on sleep. Need a hobby as a replacement, suggestions? Something not too costly.
 
Alcohol then MDMA doesn't work well. Had ketamine later which was better.

Every two hours? Every 20 minutes for me. Like an old pregnant lady my mate says

Having a beer on MD is so good though.

I rarely ever have the urge to drink while on any other drugs but man - amazing.

I was stung $10 for a pint of Draught and let me tell you, no drug could've made me felt anything but rorted. The lights looked sharp and cool, though
 
Well F**K me! It lasted 9.5 days.

I cracked.

finished work early, by 3pm I stopped into the bottle o and bought a couple cans. It's only a couple cans, but geez what a loser! Not happy!
 
I haven't had a drink for years.

Just got sick of it after having heavy binges from 18-21 and a bit afterwards.

Having an 18th or a 21st for somebody is a great excuse for a drink up and after that last good mate turns 21 things sort of became less regular.

I think weed not being legal and being frowned upon (almost demonised) by many contributes to alcoholism in this country.

Alcohol = good, get it into ya mate!!!
Weed = What the **** are you doing? DRUG ****ED campaigner!!

I smoked a little bit here and there after I stopped drinking and I feel it's a good alternative. Have given that up too about a year ago.

You just gotta try to find stuff to do with your time. If you don't have a current hobby it can be fun to search for one and then when you do find something you're interested in to try and find a community that shares and participates in that interest.

If other stuff was legalised alcohol sales would decline big time.

It's good but becoming stupider and feeling shit the next day is hardly the best option.
 
Have just come back from an overseas holiday where I observed some pretty full on alcohol dependency issues with some close mates - issues that I didn't even realise where as bad as they are. Basically, every waking moment they have to have a beer in their hand, to the point where if they didn't they'd get frustrated and angry and take it out on their wives and/or family who were present. These issues are starting to really impact their close relationships.

I like a drink myself, but I never drink during the week, and when I do drink its only on warranted occasions - like nights out with the boys or parties. Guess I'm a binge drinker - I actually cannot stand having only one or two beers for the sake of it cos I just end up feeling bloated and tired and it ruins my day/night. I prefer to have 7 beers or nothing. But there has to be an occasion to make it worthwhile.

This holiday I struggled to keep up - everyone drank at every spare moment. I wanted to stop, but when I was seen without a beer in my hand someone would give me another, or I'd just succumb to peer pressure and just get one - I didn't want to feel the odd one out. By the last day I felt like complete shit, and also felt subconscious about it all, that others were looking at me like I was just a drunk bogan.

Suffice to say now that Im back Im not touching anything for a month.

Get passionate about playing a sport. That way you can sort of justify not drinking, cos it will affect your performance.
 
The ultimate FAIL , absolutely smashed last night!

It always makes me motivated to "never again" after these nights, so once again, never again.

:oops:
