Thinking of quitting drinking for a while

[stfu&gbtw]

sad is the fact that you can't stop for a week, fucking pussy

Why on earth would I want to do that?

if this is real, you traded hard drugs for whiskey?
nice liver, guy.

4-6 shots every night?!

Well, of course that will add up and kill you. How long it will take is the question.

I'm going to guess that every 2-3 days you 'splurge' and have an extra glass (or two) and really end up getting pretty drunk a few times a week.....

[stfu&gbtw]

Nope... Really can't stand getting drunk. 2-3 glasses, which is at least 4-6 "shots" is my thing. Can't stand hangovers. Hate them almost as much as I hate sobriety.

I've always been into getting high. Whiskey is easier on the body than cocaine and oxy. Maybe not by a lot, but a little anyway.

As far as it killing me, if any of you teetotalers manage to avoid that eventuality, be sure to let me know.

this thread is not about sobriety, per se.
it's about taking some time off, and seeing how it feels.
i was having three drinks every night, for a while, that and getting drunk three weekends in a row, was enough.
i'm done for a while is all.
i feel and look great, skin and eyes are clean and crisp.
i'm sleeping better, speaking of, just ripped a bong hit of some tasty kush, nighty-nite.

I don't intend to get drunk I just love well crafted brew and can drink well made beer endlessly... at times resulting in intoxication. Having a child helps ease the gas pedal given her habitual 6:30 wake up call. Otherwise drinking beer endlessly is incredibly fun.

"4-6" shots a day strikes me as a tad much (not that I judge). I could easily drink ~ 4 beers daily... Kinda sorta do I guess (2-4+). Probably should take some time off now and then but work my ass off in office and home and enjoy it so hard to go cold turkey.

[twodogs]

I probably drink way to much. Right now I don't give a fuck. 120 mile tomorrow on two wheels. Fuck it.

Edit: sober mind you.

[shroom]

live a little

bud during the week, adding booze on the weekends does it for me

[liv2ski]

Bud no worky for me....like Doremit I could drink craft beer all day long, but it fucks up my insides after awhile. I try a reduce the drinking most of the week by having a Bud Light. That will stop you from drinking

[riser4]

I have come to the conclusion that I do not drink nearly enough. What would I have to do to become a drunk? How much work? I'm lazy.

I have to drink for research and development. Inventing nu libations and ways to drink them is harder than you think.

6 pack a day with the occasional bottle of wine follow up, topped of by a scotch prior to passing out seems to qualify me. Pretty easy if you have the time.

It can be a lot of work...

[BigDaddy]

I just went the entire fucking day without a beer



until about 15 minutes ago.... HUDGE!

[liv2ski]

^^^^^Pffft, I held out 5 minutes longer

[iceman]

Yeah but you're 3 timezones ahead of him.

[liv2ski]

^^^^Now you're just splitting hairs

[buttahflake]

i'm still going without alcohol, i kinda like it, actually.
smoking a shit-ton of Sour Diesel this week, it's wicked heady, feels like i just finished a couple DIPA's.

Mmmmm.... Heady

I've been thinking the same thing about taking a break.... Maybe after this batch

[stfu&gbtw]

Enjoying a bloody maggie this evening after a day of golf and woodpile. Another tough day in Colorado.

[Bromontana]

Bud no worky for me....

When is the last time you did research?

God! You get to live forever! Question is; do you get a new liver?

My mother in law was the same way, never got drunk, just drank 4-6 drinks every day...she just got through with Chemo, now another tumor...time for radiation. Marijuana is not a poison...

ever get that pain in your side from drinking?
you pass it off as back pain, amirite?
that's your liver getting fat, no bueno.
take a week off, call it a tolerance break, re-set your levels and whatnot.
i'm two weeks in and it feels good
