It's the beginning of my weekend. Boss asked if I could come in today, but I made up an excuse about having Father's Day obligations. Been drinking vodka since I woke up, alone. Making some rice, which I'm going to top with Spam and eggs.

Then planning on running to the liquor store for beer and more vodka, maybe pick up some Vietnamese on the way back.

Have an alcohol related ultrasound appointment at 9 tomorrow morning, and need to do a 12 hour fast. Not sure if I'll be able to get any sleep if I stop drinking at 9pm.

Alcohol is unhealthy. Drink water.

>When you're cleaning out shit and find an unopened bottle when you thought you were completely out

Fuck me

I dont get those sad fucks.
I drink 4-5 bottles of wine and up to 8 beers a day.Been daily drinking since im 17 ,im 27 now.
Yeah I lost all my gfs to alk but I got to bang a really nice russian girl now.Work is fine too.
Sometimes I think without alkohol I woulndt even bother and kill myself ,so why be sad ?

Just ordered a 15 pack of beer to be delivered like pizza!

>>9069880
I've had 6 feeling quite relaxed. But I'm nauseous. Fucking I can't drink cheap beer anymore without wanting to vomit. Something about getting older... I used to be able to chug 40s. Now I can barley cough down cans.

>>9070468
It's all in the sewer now. Oh well. I guess it's time to quit drinking. I can't believe why I can't fucking drink anymore. THere's something wrong with me.

A new thread was already created, it has like 140 posts

had the brilliant idea to suck down a box of wine and a pint of evan williams saturday night, stayed up till 9am sunday morning drinking, conked out and woke up at 1pm, and finished off the box at abot midnight sunday night. Didn't have much of a hangover today at work though, just sweaty and anxious and clammy and paranoid with the fear stalking me all day. and had to crap like 6 times and my pee was dark yellow despite chugging water all day. oh well at least that shit is over. my usual policy is to not drink on sunday or work nights like a normie. but i feel ok now. gonna take a shower and go catch up on my snoozin. time for another break i suppose. take it easy guys.

Yeah I'll barf up the first couple even if I'm not the slightest bit hungover.
It's like your body flips a switch at 30

How much do you need to drink to keep the withdrawal at bay or delay it for like 6 hours

If any of you guys wanna shoot the shit, I'm gonna be around a while. Sober but not judging anybody, just offering a shoulder.

Hey guys on vice theyre doing a documentary on a girl addicted to alcohol right now. Started it off with her saying she got raped.

>>9066048
Naltrexone can help eliminate the cravings. It did for me.

>>9071119
One beer per hour roughly

>>9066856
Had one of these on Sunday. Opened up the phone to find no damage at all. Got drunk as shit to celebrate and ended up making one of my /pol/ related anti Jew calls to my mom while blacked out.

>>9071361
Fucking kek, that always happens to me, I get drunk and just start ranting about jews, nigs and fags and immigration policies, it's like clockwork

>>9071186
Takes weeks even months for your brain to normalize. Normal people enjoy everyday shit because their brains are healthier.

>>9071378
It can take literally years, which is why it's so fucking shit to quit, you might not even have cravings but just feel bored and end up having a drink because of it

>>9071372
Yep. The booze turns my filter off as well. My favorite topics lately are Jews and trannies. It's really funny and sad to see people's reaction to my power level. Especially family members.

Fuck booze! I have shit to do in the morning, but I still choose to drink after being sober for weeks. Who here fucks there shit up with alcohol

>>9071929
Every alcoholic ever.

>>9066856
Shit. That is the fucking worst.
Thank god I don't have social media anymore and I rarely text people. It's only a problem when I'm out somewhere and I get SUPER PLASTERED.

>>9071935
I keep calling ex gfs and family members. It's fucking awful.
At least I'm not getting arrested all the time. Last year I blacked out so hard that 3 times in one week, I woke up locked in a cell with no idea why, I had to wait 17-24 hours all 3 times to find out wtf I'd done.

What did you do to get locked up?

>>9070493
Have you tried some strong but not too expensive craft beer? It's way less revolting because they actually manufacture it to *gasp* have some actual taste (I know it's hard to believe).

>>9066035
Getting drunk, shitposting and watching sitcoms.

When I get drunk and hungry enough I'll make cheeseburgers.

I chased my GF of 4 years away due to drinking and being a complete retard, now she fucks another man, while we still lease the flat together, i have no way to get her out of the apartment, prolly they are fucking there when im at Work

Yeah man I've been stalking my ex she had to change her number two times and I keep making fake Facebook accounts to get her to talk to me.

I'll go weeks with her ignoring me and then we'll talk and maybe hook up and go months without talking again because I will instantly push her away with my heavy drinking and benzo use

Whenever she called the cops on me she always told them that she just doesn't want to talk tonight or doesn't want me over now but never wanted to press anything against me like harassment which definitely could

I'm a sad fuck

So, a little over a month sober and found a place that gives Vivitrol injections.

Not him but alcoholism affects people differently. All of us will find someone that can drink us under the table in these threads unless you're Vodkabro. We're not 15. There's no pride in being able to drink more than someone else.

>>9072129
You absolute madman!

>>9072229
This.
I can't imagine being actually alcoholic and giving a shit about how much other people drink, it's literally turbonormie shit to think that way.

Just cracked a beer and it's not even 7 am here.

>>9071378
Kek. This is a lie. I'm sober 99% of the time and I still hate life and everything in it. In fact, it's those rare weekends where I decide to have a drink or two that I'm most productive. When I'm buzzed, "everyday shit" becomes so much more tolerable. Stuff like doing laundry, cleaning and other mundane tasks are actually enjoyable and feel productive instead of pointless.

>>9072229
>unless you're Vodkabro

Hello al/ck/ies!

I was just released from jail after doing 7 days for drinking while on probation. Its good to be back.

Switching to beer near the end of a taper is great desu. If you only have beer around you can stave off the jitters but you can't really abuse it as much.

I mean real old fashioned piss water, no more than 5% alcohol.

>>9072647
You're not an alkie, you don't suffer from PAWS induced anhedonia.

Naltrexone pills are much cheaper. Problem is you could choose to not take them

I'm on the wagon right now because I had afib for the first time a week ago. It's a bummer but may be the reason I was looking for to kick the booze.

Why do some people drink water while drinking alcohol? I've seen some pussies at a party today doing this. FFS if you don' want a hangover don't fucking drink.

The retards drink 2 cups of water for every shot of vodka and wonder why they're not drunk

Day 4. Shakes and puking have stopped. Fear dissipating. Still sleep like one hour a night, woken frequently by insane nightmares, but no cravings.
Thing is, I'm scared of soon feeling better. I feel like hell atm, but I know that as soon as I feel remotely good, the cravings are gonna savage me. I so desperately want to avoid relapsing, I'm covered in rashes and blisters, seemingly all internal organs are painful and I'm in so much financial shit that I can't afford another fucking 6 months in hell. Not sure I can do this shit alone. al/ck/ is all I've got ;_;

>>9075191

Unless you want kidney disease later in life, this is a fucking incredibly intelligent thing to do. You'll get foot cramps in your late 30s and wonder why, and you'll die in your 50s from kidney failure because you were the asshole you sound like you are.

>>9075202
have a drink to calm your nerves dude

>>9075191
Drinking water won't stop you from getting drunk...
I always drink water if I'm getting smashed, I have a 2 litre bottle of water next to my bed at all times, and no matter how fucked up, blacked out or near-unconscious I am, if it's running low I force myself to refill it

>>9075191

You do know I'm not joking, you will die of kidney disease, right? I'm not trying to be flip.

>>9075191
I wouldnt take 2 cups of water per shot thats over doing it.

I will say every time Im at a party ill have a bottle of water just so I can drink water when I want and have hardly any hang over as long as its not extremely cheap alcohol

>>9075205
Sup Faggot, i drink twice a month and exercise everyday, i'm 28 and still got a long path to go. Keep being the pussy you are, but don't forget to drink three cups of water between every time you're crying because you're a loser.

Dehydration causes nephritis. You guys get that right? Chronic dehydration causes acute nephritis.

If you don't have cravings yet chances are you are over that shit.
Find a recovery place, now one of those bullshit AA programs, the ones that check your status and give out medications to help.
Naltrexone really helps cravings, and they might give you something for sleep, just be dead honest with the doctor when you are being interviewed, the bottle will say no refills, so you contact the doctor and he will get it refilled for you.

nah lol idk its my first time with the ol' pal captain im more of a vodka komrade

Why does liquor drunk feel so much different than beer drunk?
I just had a couple beers at a mate's house. Felt good.
Come back home, get me a rum and coke, and it's like being wrapped in a big fuzzy warm blanket.
Even if it's just the first drink, it's different

>>9075292
Because right from the start it warms you up. Its just so nice and cozy.
Id describe beer as being 'chill' since you can keep drinking more and more and slowly get drunk over time, great for hanging out with friends and chatting, they both have there place.

I agree that liquor drunk is better though.

Mead is made of danger

>>9075346
Does mead tastes good? I was planning to try it someday

>>9075354
Not him
I've had two kinds of mead
There's "mead" which is honey flavoured liqueur. Because things made of honey taste like honey right?
And there's more beerlike drink that's not sweet at all
That's mead.

>>9075354
It is fucking excellent. If you're around Austin Tx I suggest Meridian Hives huajillo mead. It's fucking great. Semisweet though if you're into dry drinks stay away. If you like dry wines and whatnot pick a different mead. If you like em sweet try Tej, the Ethiopian mead. They pitch it with a second load of honey so its like drinking fizzy honey water that gets you shitfaced

>>9075383
Tej is almost like sweet honey champagne. The huajillo stuff is a true mead, honey that's been fermented, too. Very few bubbles tho.

But it tastes so good if you like honey. It goes down like fruit juice.

>>9075354
yes, but make sure you get a real mead and not some kind of freak beer-mead mixture that has hops in it

>>9075403
That sounds... Interesting and also awful.

Like, why would you do that? The bees worked so damn hard why you gotta put trash in their honey?

Don't leave me alone with my rotten bee puke please

>>9075610
Mead? Go to bed.

>>9075610
Well say something worth talking about

By the way are you familiar with the cultural anthropological ideas about food transformations
Fuck I wish I had my notes still

Anyways, "rotten" was a classification of food preparation.
I forget so much of my college shit
So you have two axes
Dry and wet, and natural and cultured.
Dry and natural is raw.
Dry and cultured is baked
Wet and natural is fermented.
Wet and cultured is boiled

Cultural anthropology really has some good insights and shit that I wish I remembered more of

>>9075637
Hey you and I both. I got a fucking degree in that shit. Fermentation of all varieties fascinates me. Just because it's "rotten" doesn't mean it's bad: see beer, bread, cheese, pickles &c. To turn one thing into a new food with only the help of nature herself is one of the most interesting things in the world to me. My sourdough starter, Steve, is my oldest friend; started him when I was ten and have kept him fed and living and making me bread for nearly two decades now. Tried using the fellow for beer but he is not for that life. Maybe mead...? Hm. Bees on my mind

>>9075629
Can't sleep too busy trying to be a Texas Viking.

...where is my axe

>>9075659
What's your opinion on Sapir-Whorf? You must have loved Arrival this year.

I brewed beer with a friend when I was in college. His idea and I just got roped into it.
Fucking fun and fucking stupid. The prep involves a lot of sterilization with boiling water. All the tubes need to be flushed with boiling water. Yeah, that involves lots of scalds
Not to mention getting up late at night to fix sealing problems. We made peach beer once and it was like dealing with a baby. That thing would pop its top every other night and vomit foam and shit all over. Way too much sugar in the peaches. Never again.
Tasted alright tho.

I fucking love bees, by the way.
One day when I'm an old man, I will have an apiary

>>9074650
Agreed. At least with pills you can skip a day and drink if you absolutely have to. I've taken a couple days off, as a break from the anhedonia. You may wish to go with daily pills in the future.

>>9075672
Irt(Sapir-Whorf) I gotta say I'm down with the soft application inasmuch as that language AFFECTS the way you think rather than determines it. I know it's anecdotal, however, I've found that learning many languages has indeed changed the way I frame the world. Welsh is the perfect language for the terminally depressed, incidentally. Since we're anon, ima lay this at your feet: I was told I was dying at 18. Before that I was 1000% set on field linguistics as my path in life. Describing Morphosyntax is my bible.

Irt(Arrival) what is?

Irt(beermaking) it is indeed a hassle. I produced a sort of barley wine but it ended as sour beer. Not terrible but not exactly what one wants from a beer yknow?

>>9075131
That's great. Give your body a chance to recover.

>>9075692
>that language AFFECTS the way you think rather than determines it.
I don't think anyone can disagree with this. It can't be proven, but I think 99% of (educated) people will agree.
But I'm not willing to disregard strong Sapir-Whorf just based on how much I feel like I should. We Westerners are strong individualistic people. We find it insulting if people suggest that things are out of our hand. A strong Sapir-Whorf position goes hard against our ontological position as Westerners
And that's why I can't throw it out.

There was this video that I think every anthro undergrad is shown about those red clay Africans from Namibia(?). The video shows some Euro researchers asking them to identify colour. In their language, apparently, they don't have a separation between basic colours like green and blue. So the researchers ask them to point out the blue square in a field of green squares. And they literally cannot do it. For us, it's as clear as day. But they can't.
Or something like that.

I never studied linguistics specifically. Took a few classes in that direction, but never the whore horse. Dated a girl who did though. I think she was really special. Fucked it up though. I regret that a lot.

How are you doing about your diagnosis? You ain't dead yet, nigga.

Oh and Arrival is a movie about a linguist who is tasked by the US military to translate an alien language. The movie takes a strong Sapir-Whorf position. Really strong.

Metallica used to drink a lot, too, and they slayed live, but it wasn't just because of booze, they had that raw energy that's so common in young adults. That's why we got their fifth album on which they decided to be a little mature, and then Load and Reload happen and it all went down the fucking drain.

>>9075205
my body will actually wake me up in the middle of the night and the first thought that comes into my head is "WATER!! DRINK LOTS OF WATER NOW"

Alcohol must dehydrate the hell out of you, even if you're just pounding beers

>>9076678

I get back pain if I don't drink a couple liters of water when I'm hosing.

I'm on antibiotics right now, can I get drunk?

>>9076687
You mean if you can drink? It would be best not to, but then again, occasional drink isn't that bad, though it all depends on what you're on. It would be best not to drink anything while you're on pills, but if you can't pull through with it, I highly advise you to check in with your doctor about mixing drink with your antibiotics.

>>9076687

Drinking while on AB just nullifies your AB as far as I know.

>>9076717
it can also enhance the bad effects pills can have

At least a few of the guys are cool, but most of them are so happy go lucky and didn't actually have serious drinking problems it's just their wives bitching and making them stop and shit.

Hi everyone
I'm am here

Can excessive drinking make your hair turn grey faster?
I can't think of a reason why it would, but this seems like a hell of a coincidence.

About to order a martini for the first time. What's a good gin to order? Should I specify the vermouth? I don't imagine most smaller bars have much of a selection.

>>9077362
Get a vodka martini, dry

I'm working on getting the upper cathedral key so I can get the gesture to use on the brain of mensis before I kill it to get the rune.
I'm all out of sedatives though and don't know where to get them really.

>>9077425
2 ways I know how to get them
1. You need a badge fr upper cath ward then messengers will sell it
2. In the lecture building on the first room on the right there is like 13 mutated students. They sometimes drop them, this is also an amazing place to garm blood echoes? Bottle neck them through a door and kill, rinse and repeat, level ups and free sedatives

>>9077103

The thing is I'm not sure if I want to. I don't see much of a decent future for the world in general let alone myself, so I'm always conflicted between wanting to get my shit together and trying to escalate things into an early death to get it over with.

>>9077550

>>9077550
I only have moderate hemorrhoids so I'm thankful they aren't any worse. But dude even I know that drinking is not going to help that issue. If they are really bad and you lose a lot of blood every time you shit you can see a doctor you know. It's their job to deal with this shit, they won't mind.

>>9077442
Wew. Finally got that badge to buy sedatives now and I did the Emissary and Ebreitas so I'm off to the Brain.

Do you have the DLC? I recommend playing it after you clear the main game. It's a big difficulty increase, a really engaging challenge. Some awesome weapons too.
I can't remember what it's called now, drinks getting to my head

What happens if I replace all of the liquid I drink in a day with liquor?

>>9066035

what gets you the drunkest fastest and doesn't taste like complete shit? I'm 230lbs and it takes a lot for me to get wasted. what should I try?

>>9077879
Cheap ciders or boxed wine.

Lads I'm about 2 weeks sober but I cannot socialise for the life of me without using booze as a crutch. How the fuck do I hold conversations? Even at work I get bored/can't think of anything to say to me colleagues after a few minutes.

I guess I still have some brainfog but I wish it would fuck off so I could think clearly about what to say. I overthink stuff so much that I just don't say anything.

>>9077550
Drinking cause/worsen haemorrhoids.
Get cream for haemorrhoids, it's over the counter and works nicely. Unlike booze clerks who want to chit chat about your alcoholism, they are trained to handle these minor situations.
Alternatively, go to a doc. I did, he shoved a finger in my anus, prescribed me over the counter cream, and told me to come back if it didn't get better. So start with cream.

>>9077879
>what gets you the drunkest fastest
Having an empty stomach and drinking high % booze (after mixing). Enema is faster butt...
Also do not drink on an empty stomach, it's bad.
>and doesn't taste like complete shit
As in tastes of ethanol? Lower %, sugar, carbonation.

>>9077399
How long do you think you've got left m8?

>>9077910

But that's the most efficient way, anon.

I don't suppose this can go on much longer.

Aye, I manage a warehouse these days. I've always held jobs, usually in kitchens during my lost-in-the-sauce years because nobody shakes two shits at you for being a drunk as long as you can perform. The hotel gig was supposed for some walking around money. I stopped drinking last year because it just wasn't making me happy anymore. Still enjoy these threads.

>>9077978
Nothing to photograph really bruh.
I'm in debt btw, the only spending power I have left is loans secured on my house. If by some miracle I live long enough, imma sell it, pay off debts, buy a smaller house, repeat until homeless/in a tent/grave. I find it to be a surprisingly cosy master plan, because I agree with this anon >>9077554
So sorry dude, nothing to send

>>9077991
The 'end stages' of alcoholism tend not to be pretty. As long as I'm not sober, I'm fine.
Plus listening to Watts' genius and knowing that even someone that smart died young because of alcoholism, makes me feel somehow more comfortable with my 'allowing' things to get this bad. If even he couldn't control this shit, I had no chance.

>>9077952
Agree with >>9077957
Eating, even if it's junk and you have to choke it down, will make you feel so so much better, and you'll be a hell of a lot healthier. I recommend nuts, raisins, peanut butter and honey. No prep, filled with calories and actually quite healthy foods. Stick them all in a blender and chug a cup every day if you have to, just don't have absolutely no food for days on end, it will fucking ruin you.

>>9078016
No, we're cool. Everyone grew tired of all the blackout antics eventually, but for the most part I didn't lose any friends over drinking. That particular incident is something we can look back on and kek.

>>9078039

For several years I drank first thing in the morning to even out, then would eat lunch or dinner, I didn't starve myself for weeks like vodkabro.

>>9078081
It's a relatively recent thing for me to rarely eat, bro. For the majority of the time I've been drinking I used to eat at least one large, healthy meal a day, and have lots of healthy snacks, smoothies, supplements etc too, and enjoy doing so. Over the last year or two though my appetite has just gone to absolute shit. It happened rapidly and without warning. Everything tastes like cardboard and the thought of even just chewing makes me feel ill. I don't choose to not eat, I just can't often stand it any more. I suspect this is fairly common, so be careful, al/ck/.

>tfw gave up alcohol recently because I don't want my gf to leave me like my mum did my dad due to excessive drinking

Nail in the coffin is seeing my dad spiral towards an early grave as all he does is drink now

>>9077396
I've played the shit out of it throughout 2016 and it's fucking neat. Great atmosphere and neat combat, also some of the boss fights are stellar!

>>9078160
I do eat, just, rarely. I'll probably have a big jug of smoothie (typically ill have avocado, bananas, mango, cherries, peaches, blueberries, cinammon, ginger, mint leaf, vanilla pod, ice, water, blend) and some soft, easy protein like smoked cod. Healthy as fuck and once I've got it out of the way I can just forget about eating for a few more days.
In fact I'm gonna do it now. I really should eat. Few more chugs and I'm gonna limp to the kitchen and get this bastard chore outta the way.
I'd forgotten about the exit bag method. I remember you suggesting it before. I doubt I'll snuff myself, don't expect to need to, but thank you for suggesting what would appear to be a fairly painless method, just in case things really do become unbearable.

Maybe go for a selection with your money. Try each end of the spectrum from sweet, creamy and girly, like amarula cream or sheridans, to a serial killing john Wayne -esque scotch like lagavulin. There are plenty of luxury hampers people will sell you if you're sufficiently deep in the pocket.

This guy was really wise and he had a lot to say, but he also drank himself to death. So it's not easy for anybody, even when you think you've got it figured out".

Love from me to you, Smirnoffbro. If this is all you got, make it a good one.

By the way, it was when he gave me a hand of cards and said, "Goddamit! You should've pulled the trigger!" Said cousin in question lost his shit and laughed his ass off.

Oh yeah, snuck him in some booze in the soft drink, because fuck being sober there.

$3.65 for that 5-liter jug according to this.
I don't understand how they manage to produce alcohol that cheaply in a place where anything with carbohydrates must surely be highly valued as, you know, food.

So uncomfortable. Life is not supposed to be this unpleasant.

That doesn't sound good there buddy...after 30 years, I've weened myself down to Friday/Saturday night drunkfests, with the occasional midweek pint or six...I can't go back to the way I used to be...

>>9078827
I did that years ago.
Lost friends, lost everything making life worth living, lost health.
You lived the funny part of alcoholism, now there is only chasing the dragon tail of happy drunk, but the dragon fuck off entirely.

Hello everyone
How are you doing?
You still here vodkaBro? (I hope you are here)

>>9080504
I'm doing quite good so far, but not everything is going as planned, as if it ever did. I do feel like shit from time to time, because I wasn't there for someone when I should have been and that person killed himself, but at least I'm not drunk almost every day of the week now. Sobriety has been treating me well this 3 weeks and I hope it will continue to be so, even if I'm to face a lot of temptations that will try to stop me in the process, but hey, a little challenge here and there ain't such a bad thing.

How are you, anon?

>>9080151
You need to get yourself in order, man. As hard as it will be, you can't keep going like this without ruining your goddamn life.

>>9080018
This.
It's helpful shit, and insurance covers it.

>>9079492
I make moonshine with store bought sugar and end up at around 5 bucks for 5 litres.

Making alcohol is very cheap. Most of what you pay for in the shops are packaging, marketing, taxes and paying off all the middle men.

>>9074335
Hahahahahaha

>>9080619
Yeah, but you live in a place where people are dying of too much food. Sierra Leone isn't it.

well, I managed to piss the bed

again

>>9080660
how the fuck did you manage that

>>9080642
The alcohol used is probably surplus from other parts of the world. Note that it says 'blended and packaged', not distilled.

>>9080665

get so drunk don't remember

well,

one last time into the deep

Need some halp on this one.

TL;DR: desperately trying to figure out how much somebody has to drink to trigger alcohol withdrawals, as I am trying to quit but don't know what to expect

Young man, but have drank every night for let's say the past couple of years.

Getting drunk is not my usual thing. Tipsy, sure, but I'm more the type of guy to just maintain tipsiness and not actually go for getting drunk drunk. Still, I drink a lot. Like, left to my own devices, 6 pack of decently strong beer in a night OR a bottle of wine, sometimes two. Sometimes I do end up just binge drinking but like I said, it's not the norm. (and yes I realize that this is pussyboy shit compared to a lot of the guys ITT)

ANYWAY I'm wondering if I'm at risk for DTs. 23 years old, 5'11" (180cm for yurofriends), 175 lbs (79 kgs), drinking let's say 4-6 drinks a night for two years. Will I get DTs if I go sober for a few days.

Bonus datapoints: I had one drink a night for a few nights no problem, that was last month. Also, I had zero alcohol the night before last, no problem.

Oy my dudes, I'm almost 24, been drinking at least a pint of vodka every day (plus beers) since I hit 21. Pretty sure I've given myself GERD, anyways-

How long until I die of a heart attack or my liver fails?

>>9080691

im 28 and still waiting

the end is soon

I hope

>>9080681
>4-6 drinks
You're totally fine. You'll probably just be bored.
Going cold turkey starts to trigger acute alcohol withdrawls when you're at around 500ml of vodka a night. A sixpack a day is perfectly safe to quit without tapering.

>>9080681
This is nothing. You're good.

>>9080681
>trying to figure out how much somebody has to drink to trigger alcohol withdrawals

There is no answer that question. It depends entirely on the person involved and what their drinking habits were/are. There are literally hundreds of variables involved, and this process is not well understood medically. It is impossible to give a specific "amount".

FWIW, I consistently drank about the same as you (roughly). At my worst I had ramped up to 12+ drinks a day.

When I quit ("cold turkey") I had some very mild visual and audio hallucinations for about 2 days. Insomnia for 5 days. But I never had DTs. I was also more than 10 years older than you. I think it's unlikely that you will have DTs given my experience, but understand that this sort of thing is impossible to predict and assign numbers to.

>>9080703
>>9080705
>>9080708

alright, thanks for the responses, gonna attempt a taper nonetheless. for the record, I decided to get my shit under control when I realized that drinking might be causing a panic disorder to develop in my mind.

>>9080681
4-6? id say that's fuck all

may have trouble sleeping tho

>>9080726
>may have trouble sleeping tho

Yup. That's actually what started my drinking habit, I used it as a way to pass out. Speaking of, I have been up all night...

Diphenhydramine (zzzquil) has worked in the past but I would rather not trade one crutch for another

330 USD for this, I hate the tariffs in my country

>>9080990
You lucky bastard. I wish I had that kind of money to spend

Folks are picking me up at 2 to check me into a clinic for some amount of time. In 29. 12-15 drinks a day. What am I in for guys?

>>9081219
It will suck for a while but you can pull through.
It will be worth it, I promise.

>>9081219
It will feel great once you're detoxed. No hangovers, no anxiety, no sweats etc. Important that youbask your doctor for a naltrexone prescription. Will help you stay away from booze after you're detoxed.

>>9081291

>no hangovers
>No anxiety
>no sweats

but plenty of depression for months on end

>>9080681
You'll probably be fine, m8. You can do a taper if you want though, just one drink less a day until you hit zero. Hit the ground softly.

>>9080681
You won't get DTs drinking that amount.

Is zoloft a good substitute for alcohol

>worried about getting withdrawal
>im out and too late to buy more
>mom offers me a bottle out of the blue

>>9081538
Now start your taper lad

>>9081496
Nope. Won't do shit, unless you're taking it to help with PAWS. Might help a bit with that.
Antidepressants make me drink a lot more than usual.

>>9080691
>pint of vodka every day
Years.

>>9080724
>a panic disorder
You'll have anxiety when stopping. Consider pot, CBD, meditation, mindfulness, etc. to help with that, since it may not go away by itself.

>>9081219
First week is half withdrawals half boredom. Then it's boredom, but they usually don't keep you long after the first week if they don't have some stuff to teach you about sobriety.
Bring books, music, food that can be kept outside a fridge. Ask what can you bring (they may ban phones, food, cables, etc.)

>>9081461
Detox doesn't give depression, it's a separate problem. Maybe one of the reasons why you drank.

>>9081496
No, benzodiazepines are alcohol in pill.
Unless you were drinking to manage your depression, then you're an idiot and yes. Don't take it randomly, AD work after a week or two during witch risk of suicide are increased (Yes, anti-depressants kill by suicide, it's counter-intuitive.)

>>9072079

Ryan?

>>9078329
This was the same thing for me. I was sober for a couple days, then found beer in my fridge. I told myself, I was only gonna drink one just to fill up my stomach.

Long story short, I ended up drinking 15 beers and wrote a very long literary analysis of Whats Eating Gilbert Grape

I'm 21, have been drinking since I'm 14.

Started drinking regularly at 16 (every weekend), and almost daily since I'm like 19.
I have alcoholic neuropathy now.

My uncle is in his 50s and except for gout once he's completely healthy.

This shit is unfair. I don't wanna be broken yet.

>>9082366
Forgot to mention my uncle is also an alcoholic.

>>9082366
>I have alcoholic neuropathy now.
Isn't this reversably?

>>9082366
i have it too, cant feel my feet most days

>>9082382
From what I have read it's chronic.

You can reduce the symptoms by quitting alcohol and eating well, though.
>>9082395
Yeah my hands and arms and legs and feet hurt a lot and fall asleep as soon as I don't move them for a minute.
But it still doesn't keep me from drinking. It's insanity.

>>9082404
I've had something resembling it after benders but so far it has always recovered.

Scary stuff, one of my main motivations to moderate my drinking desu.

When are you gonna stop drinking your life away?

>>9081898
found some and ordered it, will post results

When I move out in 6 weeks. Gonna live on my own for the first time in my life, and moving from bum fuck nowhere country to a major big city, working towards something I actually wanna achieve.
I'm gonna quit drinking and focus on writing as a hobby, and I'm gonna rejoin gym and therapy and maybe a literature club etc etc

>>9082491
>living alone
>not drinking

pick one

>>9077550
Definitely making your asshole worse bud. I would bleed like fuck out of my ass (idk why, assumed roids) but after a lengthy stint not drinking excessively there's only a little now.

Drinking alcohol severely affects how good your body heals it's self.

>>9082517
well just dont like discourage me man

>>9082517
actually I feel I drink more when I live with my mother as compared to when I don't

When I live with my mother I want to drink every day, but when I live alone, I may want to drink every now and then, but I'm more able to live without alcohol

>>9078209
If you stop drinking you either fall into another addiction (eating) or decide to miraculously grow a will and watch yourself more.

>>9082564
not >>9082491 btw

>>9082565
stfu fag yo dont know me

>>9080151
Been there, lost my job because of it. Nobody mentioned it but looking back there's no way they didn't know I was getting fucked every single night. You can't keep it up bud... Sort it out or I hope you have family or friends to support you. I did (still do) and sober now...and think of what a fucking retard I was ruining a decent job.

>>9080990
sounds about right, in washington state a bottle of jack is "19.99" but taxes bring it up to around thirty bux
7x30=210

>>9082615
however that's (4*0.7L)+(2*0.5L)+0.2L = 4L

>>9082491

I believe you can make it anon, the best of luck to you

>went to gym even though I didn't want to
>cooked up a whole bunch of food
>have lots of booze to get shitfaced
Yes. Today is good.
