Drinking

So I realized a few days ago I prolly need to cut back on drinking.
Right now I'm at least 3 times a week guy. Including going to the bars on Wed. for $10 all you can drink. Now I've already realized when you can drink a liter of Morgan in a night and not be smashed that I'm getting up there.

I blame my one roommate who is a enabler, he's drinking every night at least a 6 pack of pounders (16oz beers) and thank god tonight is his last night here.

I also realize how much money I'm spending prolly a good $60 a week on booze between the bar and a bottle/case of beer.

Some of you might be like "ZOMG you're prolly not even 21 and legal to drink" I am 24 years old and am legal so don't say I'm going to get a minor. I fear more for getting a DUI, even though I've drove only once when I was completely sloshed.

 

Yeah you should prbably quit. And sloshed is a word I havent hear in ages haha but yeah just take about a week off without drinking to make sure your not an alcoholic. Like if you cant go a week without craving beer, you probably need to talk to a doctor...:\

 

Sloshed just means drinking alot and getting drunk I had to explain that to Feren Silver and HahaNerd. I can live without booze, but we decided this last night I'm the one that drinks less but when I do I drink more heavily than my one roommate. He drinks every night and still gets a good buzz going.

 

No, i knew what sloshed meant lol. I was just saying...never mind. >.< Anyways, booze is a waste of money...$60 a week is pretty bad D: so Id just advise you to take 1 week off, and see if you can do it. :\

 

Just try limiting yourself. Try Narrowing it down to 2 days a week, then go from there.

 

3 day hump.

If you get past that hump without drinking for 3 days you wont have the urge to drink anymore, i did this with smoking and masterbaiting. It worked.

 

Well ima boss n tomorrow ima not drink after new years n see....i dont need to masterbate lol ill try vids

 

i dont see a problem. you are of age to drink, yet young enough for it to not be a problem yet. these years are supposed to be the years of drinking. just get it out of your system so that when you are older you can look back on it as a good time. go wild, party, have fun. we only live once, why waste the opportunity?

i like drinking too, but i could def. live with out it. i quit worse things, so im not too worried.

 

My friends call me a lightweight..

I call their bank account a lightweight.

I don't even enjoy drinking to be honest. It's only fun when your drunk.. I hate casually drinking. I can't stand the taste of most things.

 

Why do you want to cut down on drinking? You don't seem to be drinking too much. If you smoke weed instead you can quit for good, otherwise I suggest you talk to a doctor or someone, alcoholism can't be cured just like that. You need to make a decision not to drink at all and stick to it.

 

If you try to quit cold turkey after being in a routine of drinking for a while you will feel like crap... Whether its because you are mentally used to the routine or you are physically addicted it will just STINK for a couple/few days.

You can not be physically addicted and still have withdrawl symptoms if you quit. I think saying that you need to see a doctor is a pre-mature decision. It would be great, but is unnecessary I think. Try smoking weed for a couple weeks, it is an easy way to help ease the transition to drinking less.

To be honest your not even drinking THAT much. It might be enough to get you rationalize that your an alchoholic. But your not always walking around with a bottle 'o whisky in hand. I would say limit the drinking alone to once every week or two. Try to make it so your a social drinker (The bar doesnt count unless your with someone lol).

I just turned 18 but this is what I would do.

 

Well I drink in my opinion enough, because somone will be like "well I'ma pick up a 6 pack, you wanna have a few?" Then I'll be like ah I better pick up a 6 pack too. Or I'll think ahhhh I better have a few drinks before I go to the bar.

 

thats understandable.

when i drink, it feels like a waste if i have a small buzz. if im going to be drinking, i better enjoy it. its easier to drink however much you want when its your own. no one is gonna cut you off too early and you can reach the level you want to get to.

also, i pregame before i go to clubs. its because i get more bang for the buck and i like feeling right, before i go. the mission is already accomplished and i can creep on some girls at that point.

 

I used to be a heavy drinker, but I personally can't stand it anymore. The only thing I will touch now is a beer if it's around, but I prefer other things much more. Now I'd say I spend around $50 on roxys and $10 on bud a day on average. Addictions aren't cheap. You are far from being an alcoholic, but cutting down is always a good choice. At the point you're at, it won't be any trouble for you to cut down if that's what you really want.

 

Yea that's how I am buy a bottle for $20 or so drink it and then go to the bar and w/e is left drink that. Because we hit the clubs at midnight we get 2 hours in and for a while my one roommate was working there and he quit cus he's done with school. Shit my roommmate and I now finished a bottle of champagne and a liter of schnapps making shots. We don't cut each other off...if you're gonna puke it's ur fault.

I hit the bottle all the time that's my problem....I think when you can finish a liter of rum and not puke, not be passed out unconcious that says something.

 

im not one to push drugs, but i'd say try doing xanax and alcohol. you will feel more fucked up way faster, and with less alcohol. maybe u can lessen your intake of alcohol and substitute it with xanax for the time being. i drank a good amount tonight without xanax and i hardly feel tipsy :S

 

If you want an healthy liver i'd suggest you start drinking less. Its always good to drink some, but too much of anything is bad.

 

Ofcourse anything is good in moderation Your liver is good for quite some decades my friend though dont worry.

 

Good topic, I enjoy drinking, You should try having a pool/BBQ party with some malibu, Quite epic.

 

I used to take xanax for my anxiety and depression...fucked my world up when I'd drink and take it.

Malibu??? I've never had it I go for Whiskey/Vodka lately.
