I remember watching The West Wing back in the day and the Chief of Staff Leo McGarry was an alcoholic. I don’t remember the full context of the episode, but someone had asked him about his alcoholism and why he couldn’t just have a drink. He said, “I don’t want one drink, I want ten drinks.”It's just not possible for me to live in that space. I'm either drinking all of the time or not at all.
Some weekends, I’ll throw them back if I’m with buddies. The honest truth is that God cursed/blessed (depends how you look at it) with easy hangovers. If I have one drink, I feel off the next day. If I have lots of drinks, I feel like garbage for 2 days. It’s just not worth it to me.I have been sober for about 5 months and this thread is making me feel awful because I’m not seeing any heavy drinkers yet.
That's about it for me, too. I will have a glass of wine 3-4 times a year, and a beer at a tailgate or during ncaa tournament parties. Socially and rarely for me.I don’t. Maybe one if I go out to dinner.
I’m just not all that interested in drinking anymore.
ZERO!
I quit drinking September 23, 1997 and honestly don't miss it at all.
my buddy's dad invented labatt's blue. honestly, i have never seen anyone who can drink like him. i really think the guy uses it as a food source, as he probably cycles 200 miles a week.8-10 most weekdays. 12 or so on the weekends.
The last 3 or 4 times I drank which has probably been 2 years at least by this point I would have one glass of wine and I would get some bad heartburn.
The alcoholic in me knows that is because you were drinking too slowly and not enough.
Nah this is how I drink my wine.
If you don’t start in the morning, then it can’t be all day eyewinkemoji.gifI'm a weekend warrior:
I don't drink Mon-Thur
Have a couple beers on about 50% of Fridays, nothing the other 50%
Sat & Sun usually have a decent buzz going. All beer, I rarely drink the hard stuff.
I'm all about day drinking on the weekends. I would much rather get after it from 1:00pm to 6:00pm then eat, bang the Mrs. and hydrate for the next day.
Not one damn copy in Little Havana Goodwill. Took a lot of willpower not to grab Coach Carter.I was at Goodwill recently and gathered up all of the Sideways movies in there and put them by each other. I found 6, I went back a month later and 4 were still by each other. So I found 3 additional ones and did it again.
That movie is a bit of a personal meme for me.
I’ve posted this before but for those that like the taste of IPA / craft beers, but don’t want the alcohol, hangover, calories, etc., I highly recommend Hoplark. They are a craft water and tea company that craft brews water/tea with hops. They are zero calories, gluten free, and delicious. I enjoy them when I don’t want to drink but would typically have a drink (grilling, mostly).
They’re not cheap, about $3 each plus/minus. But they are really good and no booze.

That's been my thing lately. Maybe throw in an aderall or two as well.This . On Saturdays I like to take an edible and then have one or two Psuedosues.
sickoNow married with three children, I don't like to drink in front of them so I RARELY do.
1 or more every day afterwork? The bourbon thread got me wondering...
My husband would have a drink or 2 afterwork everyday if I didn't frown upon it. His family has a history of alcohol abuse. I grew up in a house where I could probably count on 2 hands the number of drinks my dad had at home. I think he had a problem early on and my mom told him to cut the sheet. Thats when we moved from New Hampshire (near his family of drunks) to Key West where my mother's family of non-drinkers lived.
Started drinking the end of my sophomore year in high school.
Proceeded to drink heavily until I turned 21 which is when I slowed down drastically.
I started lifting weights and alcohol seemed to negate all the hard work and nutrition I was putting into my body. I was all about looking good for the babes. Ending up finding my wife. lol

So far it's worked out. Oldest never drank in high school and barely does in college but I think has some. Grades are her #1. Middle kid doesn't drink either and doubt he will. Youngest is too young to worry about right now.
I don't miss booze at all.
