alcoholism

[undesputable]

Im starting to worry about this. Everytime i drink i drink to get completly wasted, i look forward to getting drunk, i dont throw up or get really bad hangovers, which makes drinking even more enjoyable. I think im very prone to being a ****ing alcohlic. anybody here been there? and pulled through.

 

[Prophett]

cut down on your drinking

I don't know but i'm in the same boat. I love it cause it makes me more sociable and i can meet people so easy. And i never get hangovers which is great. I think i'm already an alcoholic but don't wanna quit cause it's the only thing that makes me easier to talk and get comfortable around others.

same boat.

is the type of alcoholism we share a problem?

-not yet.

will it become a problem?

-i'm praying it doesn't. who has the answer?



i don't drink to escape from anything or hide from my problems. i'm completely happy right now, but i have fun when drunk.

*i realise the health issues. but money/family etc. problems caused by alcoholism, i don't have - well money a little bit.*

I'm in a somewhat similar situation. When I'm at college I usually drink heavily 4-5 nights a week. Partly because I just really enjoy drinking and being drunk, partly because the social scene resolves around bars and parties where alcohol is served.

Sometimes I feel guilty that I drink so often, even though I do well in school and I only buy alcohol with money I've earned. I think it's probably just due to all the anti-alcohol propoganda out there nowadays. I've thought about if I'd be happier not drinking, and I really don't think I would. I've sarged sober before, and I've been succesful sober before, but it's just more fun to do it drunk. Most things are more fun drunk.

I've decided to take it easy this summer, not drinking nearly as much as usual. I've been sober for the 10 days I've been back home now. It hasn't been difficult for me, just boring really.

If it's really something you're concerned about, just cut back for a month or so and see how you feel about things.

If i get too hammered the night before, next day is a complete nightmare for me dealing with headaches and nauseousness. Sometimes i wish i didnt get hangovers, but on another hand it really keeps my alcohol consumption in check.

My suggestion(completely serious):if you got the need to get fvcked up on something, switch to weed. No physical addiction(you may become dependent on the feeling though, but thats after smoking everyday for many months), no hangovers, no throwing up and impossible to overdose on. Plus feels much better than being drunk.

I know what you ^ meen. I have HORIBLE hangovers.......Those new pills (chaisers) work decent, and i found out that drinking milk for the whole next day makes the; "I want to puke" feeling go away.

haha i quit smoking weed which was the reason i started drinking a lot. to be honest i hate weed, it makes me anti social, lazy, and gives me munchies. its funny bc ive noticed this a lot....people who like to get high, dont really like to get drunk, and people who like to get drunk, dont really like to get high.

Well my roommate wasn't like this. He liked getting drunk as much as he liked getting high. I do fall into that category though. I never liked getting stoned but I love drinking.

I wouldn't worry about becoming an alcoholic though. As long as you're not getting drunk alone and during the day then you're just a normal person.

I enjoy both, but they are completely different experiences. Drinking is for going out to parties and meeting new people, weed is better if you're alone or with a few close friends.

If I could only choose one though? Alcohol.

 

[splinterkb]

It's just as easy to meet people with only 3 beers around you, and you don't make a complete ass of yourself.

yeh im the same, i tried to quit after new year, i told my friends (who dont drink) i was stoppin, they said you should

i stopped for about 10 days, then a other friend gave me a bottle of vodka, i drunk it up in no time, i hadnt drunk in so long I had a thirst on and end up buying a few more drinks myself after.

I get wasted, but I'm still conscience. Ive been drunk before, and it was like I had fallen asleep but I was still doing things, I ended up making a idiot of myself, people where coming up to me talking to me, and I was like who the hell are you? haha they just said you dont remmeber me because you was drunk

 

[aftershock]

I gave up drinking completely a couple of weeks ago, because I was getting wasted too much - and I mean WASTED not merely drunk.

Never felt better to be honest. I might start again in the summer but I know I'll keep it in moderation.

Besides, fruit juice and coke isn't THAT bad....

 

[undesputable]

so were all pretty much on the same boat... i knew i wasnt in such bad shape. my mom just makes me think im a full blown raging alcoholic

Yeah. As long as it's not affecting you or the people around you in a destructive way, then it's fine. Just about everyone from about age 17 to 25 is the same way.

Drunk and high!!

 

[Dimebag_Darrell]

Dude I think that you just need to chill, invite some ppl to get drunk with you and get laid every once in a while and you'll be ok.

Unless you have a busy schedule.

OH! And get spun out(meth)! Dude you'll be up longer partying and you won't get as drunk while being able to drink twice as much as you could when you weren't spun out. so go get 50 dollars and buy some tweak. NOW!

 

[familyguyfan]

Disregard what Dimebag just said. You don't wanna mess around with meth. It's some sh*tty stuff.

 

[Dimebag_Darrell]

well i never said do it every day. only on occasion because getting twacked out is a lot of fun but if you do it too much it turns into a cycle because you smoke or snort it and then you stay up for a few hours depending and then you start coming down and the reason you come down and feel ****ty is because your brain needs more to feel like it was and if you have some more you will do it...lest you know, 3-4 days have gone by and your ass is still up. Trust me, I've been through the negative side of meth.

I havent done it in like 3 months, last time I stayed up for 28 days and trust me its in-f*cking-sane!! My vision was waving and flopping, I looked like just a big slab of skin with no definition, my eyes were blood shot to the max, I was constantly hallucinating and I didnt look very desirable to the ladies lol....

It sure increases your alcohol intake ability!
