Hey, a serial killer who doesn't kill anyone is not a criminal.You’re being yourself. Alcohol is not a valid defense for criminal activity.
Yeah, I don't mind Heineken Zero. I went 63 days alcohol free earlier this year, I want to start that again. Actually going to begin today. I've nearly had total around 100 alcohol free days this year, which is really good for me. I noticed so many benefits of quitting alcohol, my sleep improved dramatically.have you looked into nonalcoholic drinks like mocktails and nonalcoholic beer?
It's sh1t for gainsI'm not a heavy drinker myself, I enjoy a few drinks on the weekend only and it's usually at home, not in the bars or clubs etc.
I tend to drink vodka.. However I am at a point now, where I think I really need to quit alcohol all together.
It's not because I drink too much or I am addicted to alcohol in any sense.
It's mostly because, I tend to be quite Stoic and rational when sober.. If someone annoys me or disrespects me, I internalise the situation and react in a rational/stoic manner.
However when I begin drinking and at the tipsy stage, I tend to get angrier much more and say things that I wouldn't usually say.
This is a problem. Some things are better left unsaid, especially around chicks.. I think from today onwards I will work hard at dropping the alcohol completely.
Any of you guys have any similar situations with alcohol, has it caused problems in your in relationships at all.
That's the same reason why I drink Scotch & Soda. Over a decade ago, I used to drink Scotch & Dry, but too many calories... plus, with the soda, you are getting more of the flavour of Scotch.I mainly drink vodka soda for the minimal calories
I know what you mean. When I did the 63 days alcohol free earlier this year, I felt amazing. I so regret slipping up, and getting back into my old habits. I had a friend from interstate visit, and I broke for that. Then a few weeks later, it was the 21st birthday of my niece, so had a few beers at that party.I used to go out or get drunk every weekend pre pandemic and one night I didn't and loved having the whole Sunday not being hungover.
I used to use it the same way. I would have a drink at lunch (many of us would when I worked in an office), loosen up and make sales calls in the afternoon. That for me turned into cocaine too, and I still maintain I do my best work while on something, especially a little pinch before pitching a new client or building on an existing relationship... but it's just not the way to go. I have ADHD so cocaine really helps me dial in, focus and sweet talk.I don't drink any alcohol. However, I have a fall-back policy for work, where if my sales score is below it's monthly target, and there is a number of days without making a sale, then I might bring a whiskly flask to work and drink it on the cafeteria or on my desk while making calls. The idea is to see if it gets me to loosen up and connect with customers better while making calls over the phone and take the job less seriously. However, that negative scenario has never actually happened and I have reached my sales targets to date.
I haven't had a drink since I've been seriously back training which has been for about 18 months now.It's sh1t for gains
If you're dating a woman that likes the booze, you can never truly trust her
It literally changes you for a little while
People like the escape.
If don't need or like the escape, more power to you
Avoiding it will make your life better
Cocaine may be a bit extreme...but what I have tried on occasion is a coffee with triple-shot expresso and that is if I'm really tired. Not sure if that has a similar effect to that. However, I do bring caffine candy to work and will pop it in my mouth if I feel I'm losing the energy to make the calls and my sales is low.I used to use it the same way.

Depends on the sector, general age and office culture. I was in the 18-35 office leaning towards 18-28 really. Central London, jack the lad types. Average base but high commission potential, weekly/monthly nights out, incentives to Ibiza and other party destinations, doing coke with bosses and managers. It's cool when you're young, I even miss it now sometimes, but there are better ways to live. I think anything to loosen inhibitions works well for me in sales. Now I just go to the gym, slam coffee and do what needs to be done to pay the bills.Cocaine may be a bit extreme...but what I have tried on occasion is a coffee with triple-shot expresso and that is if I'm really tired.

That being said...there was another side idea that I might be thinking of bringing to work. They are THC laced gummy bears and THC/CDB ratioed tincture drops that I could lace into my drinking water. Not sure if edibles (ie which you can 100% fly under the radar at work) will be effective...but it's legal, and can be camoglauged. Again, a negative scenario that where I might go there has never happened. I'd rather call in sick then take drugs to improve performance at work if I'm not feeling up to working a specific day.
The work culture I have in the office is mainly Indian / other country immigrants that basically are just social with each other, behave straight, don't do drugs or any of that stuff. It's not a high paying or high stakes type of sales job that would lend itself to going that far to make sales or keep the job. Therefore, these are more personalized experiments that would be contrary to how other people are behaving within the office and would be under radar. Plus, they also have a strict policy of no alcohol (ie and of course drugs) into that office so the office itself does not lend itself encouraging those behaviours.
I have yet to experience the type of work culture that people talk about on here (ie you hear stories of guys getting bjs from co-workers, or the office wh0re who will sleep with anyone who is employed at the office as long as they are breathing, taking illegal drugs at work, etc....). I must be working at the most straight office you can imagine. None of that stuff goes on there. They run a tight ship.
Most alcoholics don't really care about their last years, but they don't realise that alcohol abuse comes with severe negative side effects especially on the older body. Same with smokers: not only will you live shorter, but your last years your breathing will be severely disabled by emphysema et cetera.If you can figure out a way not to drink ever, you will add years to your life.
