But man I love good beer as well. I do like to have 2-3 beers some nights of the good stuff. Weekends though, well we have a keg of bud light on tap lol
I think people are afraid to post how much they drink, LOL. I used to get drunk 2-4 times a week when I lived at the Ritz. Tuesday porch drinking, weekend shenanigans, growler Sundays, plus all those random nights where having a few people over meant it was time to get shitty. Much less frequently now- living far from everyone is a bitch. I’ll go weeks w/o drinking, then go all out. I do get a lot more done now that my weekends aren’t spent sleeping off hangovers though.
wow… i remember stupid amounts of booze being consumed at the ritz…by jam.
everyone else did there fair share
lately ive been on a “no-alcohol” kick
before new years i hadnt touched it in a couple of months, but when i was a freshmen in college (was 24 when i started) me and my buddies had parties tue-sat and went through 70 or so kegs in one semester
since then ive calmed down and i like having the extra money and im slowly getting used to going to parties and not drinking, instead i take pictures of all my drunk friends doing stupid things lol
2-3 with dinner ect X 7days, with a couple extra on fridays and the weekend of Guinness added up to a bunch of coin… that’s the main reason i quit. @ $18 a 12pack, that was $36+ a week if i didn’t give any away when friends stop by and such.
i was a bar rat when i went to UTI, 5-6 nights a week minimum, dated a bartender. went to night school, lived off the GI bill… before that was the army. drink to remember, drink to forget, drink to get by. drink after PT, drink @ lunch, party every night, mandatory keg every friday we weren’t in the field.
Wow, thats 30 beers a week and you didnt even get drunk. id stop too.
I usually have a homebrew or a bomber from consumers once or twice a week after dinner. Then maybe 2 or 3 times a month I would hang out at the shop late and get drunk on a friday or saturday, which is what I am cutting out.
I agree. I rarely get drunk anymore when I drink. I like to go to the Yardhouse which is a place with 116 beers on tap and just try a few different kinds. People who get black out drunk all the time confuse me. I don’t know why anyone wants to deal with frequent hangovers. But to each their own. If it doesn’t affect my life it doesn’t bother me.
2 or 3 times a month? sally
no, really, thats weak as fuck. im sorry, but it is. you dont even drink really, youre not really quitting anything
ive cut back a ton. i dont drink much anymore. i play video games instead. yup im suuuper gay.
just saw this lol.
i still have a retarded high tolerance, but ive gotten really fat. like pushing 300 lbs fat… time to do something about that
PS- AAAAAANNNDD A SPRITE FOR THE DD!!
^^^ double the drunk posting fun!
i dont drink. never have and dont plan on starting. and i dont give a shit if you do or dont either. besides, id rather spend my spare cash on the truck then on alcohol.
So zklug, did you make a decission if you were going to quit or not?
if so, hows it been working for you?
a little tip / help, if you start thinking about drinking, stop yourself and think of all the other things you could do instead. Do the things you think your less likely to do.
this way if you finish them and think about a drink to celebrate, you still have all the things you were more likely to do instead.
there’s a ton of times when you’re not drinking around people you usually drink with, family or friends at a gathering that involves alcohol and you sit back and watch and it’s really enlightening what actually goes on. the conversations, how people interact and you stop and think about the times you were involved. hear all the same excuses people who smoke use; i only drink socially, i only drink this, i only drink that…
I find conversations less entertaining… 
ex. 2 years back at a neighbors x-mas party wifie got a LEO trashed…
That was pretty fun. This year, he was not so willing to try the lemon drops…
I keep to my self and say little unless I have been drinking.
I like the lube and hate going in dry.
LOL! Yeah I dont drink heavily anymore, again I have waaaaay too much responsibility to be stupid. It’s not an issue and I am not “fighting with an addiction” :lol: I was merely conversing about having an odd sudden urge to not get drunk anymore.
Yes karter I have quit. I am planning on bottling a 5 gallon batch of coffee stout this weekend and the next beer I have will probably be one of those in about a month.
As far as getting drunk goes, thats over, I can handle alcohol I just don’t want to drink to get drunk and if thats the case then why drink tons of beer? I would rather enjoy a couple good homebrews or microbrews for taste and still stay in my current mind-state.
I still have that 18 pack for who ever wants it lol
again to the sensitive sallys I am not crying for help just conversing about this sudden decision. For fucks sake there is snow on the ground and I can’t go outside and play…I was bored;)
To each their own.
I find when I am in a “social” drinking situation, and not drinking, I get bored. I know how people react when they are drunk, and it’s funnier to watch when I am drunk too.
X…
Youngs double chocolate stout.
I want.
try brooklyn chocolate stout in a growler
