BTW, an alarm bell just went off in my head. We are all in an AA meeting here that encourages drankin...without tight cunts, coffee and prayers. How'd I miss this all these barren years here. Just knock out the drankin? yeah knocking it out is not a viable option. all the shakin hystrionics on here aside, i very rarely drink "too much," i just drink too often. 3-4 beers and a few swigs off a jameson or capn morgan bottle is like 3-4 times a week. of course occasionally i get ripped, but that would be something like watching 8 hours of football at sweeneys. not sitting alone been "quitting" or "cutting way back" for 40+ years. it is what it is, and it ain't what it ain't i try to stack up dry days as much as possible. i got 2 glass jars on my nightstand, one gets filled with 365 pennies on January 1 every year. the other is empty... every night i hit the sack, if i had a dry day i take a penny out of the 365 glass and drop it into the 'good boy' glass. yeah it's silly but you get a visual as you go and at the end of the year of how out of control your drinking is/isn't. and there's been more than a few times after dinner when i was gonna grab a beer out of boredom, and decided i'd rather have the satisfaction of dropping that penny into the good boy glass you do what you gotta |

I need something like this. I'll never do it, but will remember your sacrifice. When you say "beer," I'm guessing you'd grab a Bud/Miller light. I'd be grabbing an IPA with an ABV from 9-12%. Anyway, those days are gone. Lost about 26lbs since June. Wifne is hornier looking at me. Maybe it was the champagne at 11am yesterday, but still got laid. Little victories. |

Little victories. nope, i don't drink piss i typically have porters or stouts or specialty beers from places like two roads, always at a minimum of 7-8.x abv. i hate ipas but whatever i buy i'm typically checking the octane level, because i'm drinking to get a buzz. |

Who hates IPA's?! Check out Other Half, Finback, Root & Branch, Tree House, and others. If you're a beer drinker, these are life-changing. Uh, but not for me anymore. |

Uh, but not for me anymore. i've had a ton of IPAs. used to hit all the beer festivals up in saratoga, all those craft brew companies were all about IPAs. filled a "passport" of 100 different beers one summer, most of those were IPAs not crazy about the sour/bitter aftertaste. although i do like some gose beers which are really sour, so that's weird |

I will not drink that crap. Same here. I don't like the flavor of a regular IPA and I definitively don't want beer that is "flavored". Was at some trendy bar and they only had hipster beers. I asked the hot bartender to recommend something. Had 3 or 4 taster beers and when she said, try this one, it tastes like red hots, I got a vodka and club. |

I hate IPAs as well. Over hopped over hyped bullshit.

Thanks for sharing your issues JT. I think about my consumption a lot. If I did shakins penny jar trick, I'd prolly have 15 cents at the end of the year. I'll go through a bottle of whiskey in a little over a week..Working from home 3 days a week has definitely increased my consumption. I can just go down after 5 PM, open a beer and continue working. Then have another when the day is through. When I think about it, what's probably "bothersome" to me is the way I drink. After 10 pm, everyone's asleep, and that's when I have a couple of whiskies watching TV. Like I'm hiding.

It great when you can just focus on your drink and yourself and nothing else. |

pro tip:
if your turds float, your liver & pancreas are giving you the finger for all your years of drinking
early sign of you may be fucked. when the whites of your eyes and your skin turn yellow, you are absolutely fucked.
my white shiny eyeballs reassure me all the time that i still have some tread left on the ol' drankin tires
although my turds tend to float

I was drinking 2 or 3 bottles of vodka a week. Quit over the summer for a month and lost 20 lbs, was feeling good. Started back up with the idea I'd occasionally have a drink, on the weekends, bla bla. Pretty quickly was back up to the same level as before. I'd drink a third of a bottle a night. Off the sauce again because that shit can't be healthy!
I find it helpful to stay busy. Focus on health and diet. I signed up for two nights of indoor tennis league so I don't get bored at night and want to drink. That and going to the gym with sophne should keep me busy enough.
