So, my friend just drank half a bottle of whiskey before 8 in the morning

Im 3/4ths into a bottle of wine
I guess that makes me an alcoholic

Drinking alone is a sure sign...

Damn, i didnt know drinking a couple times a week makes you an alcoholic
This is news

Plus, its friday..just warmin up for the night

i've been drinking more enjoying it less

A physicist was asked once after he exclaimed he no longer drank alcohol as to why?

He said simply, after awhile he decided "I'd rather think, than drink".

that left an impression on me, and I followed his advice from that day on. I still drink to be sociable, but I don't go to establishments designed for drinking. If my guests wish to have a cocktail or wine, I oblige amicably, and have a well stocked bar to accommodate. But that's it for the most part.

i have made the decision to back off ,not to the extent you have CJ but i do admire that ...rob

Like a mustache, you won't miss it. Not as much as you "think".

I love thinking, thats why i cut back on the marijuana use..just not on the weekends

lol I also noticed that I haven't even seen socata in this thread.

1st point socata smoker is a c**t as a tag?
2nd point there is nothing worse than the smell of a drunk, it's up there with piss and shit.
3rd point a tax payers worst nightmare, but hey don't worry let sociaty foot the bill.

haha. your short responses make me laugh. i can't run away from this guy, i've known him my whole life.. i'd feel bad if he died and i wasn't there for him, i already lost a friend like that

that sounds like a lot of fun to force yourself in to a hopeless situation
so you can feel better about being there for him when he dies.... Why
do people feel they need to "FEEEL" for people when they're down and
out. It's natural selection, you're just trying to keep a turd from being
flushed, let nature do its thing. Sorry about your friends

I feel bad for alcoholics. My grandfather was a HUGE alcoholic. I mean HUGE. He never went to one of my fathers 100's of basketball games throughout jr high and high school. Hes 85 and healthy and quit many years ago thanks to AA and is an amazing guy now. My father stopped drinking alcohol past his mid 20s and I rarely drink (once every 2-3 months maybe?) and i'm approaching 19. It makes me feel good for a little bit and then I just get really tired. I hate not being able to notice little details about the world as well. I hate having no awareness. The only way alcohol is fun is if I get so shitfaced I lose all control and blackout. But then again, what fun is an experience if you have no recollection of it?

Luckily, I found the ganja before the cigs and alcohol got to me. I have a huge pothead friend like myself who is also somewhat an alcoholic. 19 yr and drinks 4-5 times a week . And you know college kids don't drink just to get a buzz...they go all out.

Maryj is all i'll ever need. Shrooms are nice but I think I've learned enough from them...if I ever do them again I don't know when it will be as at this point in life I don't really want to. It's too powerful of an experience to do too often.

i digress but yeah man i kind of know what your going through. it's hard to just throw out your best friend but if you give him a fair and honest shot and be upfront about your relationship then he might change. tell him if he doesn't your done with him

most ppl love it, thankfully i hate it.

It's probably not hate. I think you found via real life experience that alcohol is a poison, and should be treated with respect.

U've learned a very important lesson, and it will serve you well. Some things can't be learned from a book.

i'd rather think than drink sums up how i feel quite nicely. most who become alcoholics do it at a young age...i've tried it and it's only for parties. i'd NEVER drink by myself.

im in mexico and i had 7 drinks the first day and like 5 yesterday. not very much but i STILL didn't like it. today I'm not drinking and just because alcohol is all inclusive doesn't mean that I'm going to blackout my whole vacation.

i saw some locals with a few joints and i was about to go up to em

cuanto questo dolares americano por ganja?

but, i'd rather maxamize my tolerance break.

when i get home im going to take such fat BTs out of the slide fdd made. It's been 4 months since I've taken over a day off from smoking, so yeah, i need the 5 day break.

True, it's not hate because if it were I would ALWAYS say no to drinks, which isn't the case.

However, i blacked out at 9pm on halloween and my buddies told me i didnt get back to the dorm till 4am. I have no idea what happened i lost my car keys, cell phone and had to hit up triple A to get a new key to make it back to school the next day (buddies campus far from mine). that one night cost me about 200 dollars..

so yes, a life experience has taught me it is a poison that's generally not worth the consequences

i didn't drive. i just carried my keys on me in case i needed somewhere to sleep. it's happened before so i wanted to be prepared.

hide-a-key was gone too unfortunately.

i could have died tho yeah, alcohol poisoning or something. after puking every last drop out i dry heaved forever...fuck blackouts

edit: altho its possible I drove and ended up parking in the same spot but i doubt it

wow a few nights ago I woke up after blacking out from 48 ounces of beer then around 1/5 a bottle of tequila. My friend drove me back to my dorm(not sure how I walked past the security guy) and I woke up, not knowing he had, and proceeded to walk around the parking lot and campus for 30 mins like an idiot looking for my jeep because he told me I drove back to mess with me. haha so yeah, not worth it sometimes.

i will have to play devils advocate and say there is nothing wrong with alcohol in moderation........ it wont kill you if you sometimes indulge in a lil adult beverage. esp high end beer.
