I'm Drunk

[Psycho Circus]

My condolences Allhallows, very sad to hear, but stay strong.

My brother died tonight, 5:05pm January 12.  Though he was once a tall strong handsome man, at about 45 he became afflicted with a dreadful disorder that crippled his spine, and caused him to distort into a hunchback.  He'd already drunk 3/4s of his lifetime of beer that would eventually exacerbate his degeneration, and booze and beer seemed his only solace in the last 12 years of his life...  Think before you drink?  I don't know what to write.  I wanted to let my friends here know.

I'd just like to say that I'm sorry to hear about that.

I'm sorry to hear that; i hope things get better and you find some solace.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words.

Being drunk due to family sorrows is never a good thing. Warm wishes to you, kind sir.

Me, however, I just like throwing a drunk for entertainment's sake. Like tonight. I start a very restrictive diet that I hope I can stick to for the next three weeks come Tuesday (I have a day-long date with the woman I will die loving and don't care what we do or eat), so drinking will go to the wayside for a while.  Blah.

But this weekend, it is booze, pizza and movies (along with more cleaning of the apartment than I would enjoy normally)!!

I'm tipsy.

Oh God...I'm so sorry....I knew not. Tara Sue died from hepatitis and cancer...all from drugs and alchohol. If you need to talk-call me ,man.

Actually, I wasn't drunk, but had not the nerve to start a thread about my sorrow, was poking around unable to sleep and picked the old standby "I'm Drunk" thread, which seemed appropriate for my poor, sad, abused, accursed, alcoholic brother.

Gee Hallows-PLEASE call me!

[Allhallowsday]

Gee Hallows-PLEASE call me!

Don't mind me, I know what it is, and tonight, I am drinking.       My brother was a drunk and it killed him.  That's what I wanted to relate to everyone, so all could make informed decisions.

I rarely ever do anything without informing myself beforehand. Okay, well, there was that night with a squirrel, a goat and two Gothic Lolitas, but I had no idea that synthetic lace could cause THAT kind of rash. And did you know that both squirrels and goats can bite REALLY hard?!?

I haven't lost a family member in the way you did, Allhallows, but I've lost my parents to things that could have been and should have been avoided. It is a hurt that only time and reflection will soften.  Drink wisely.

And don't watch any Al Adamson films, for the love of God!

I can't part anything to really make you feel better, but I'm sorry to hear that good sir.  Just now reading this.

I'm somewhat kinda tipsy at the moment.  Been thinking about some things and they've got me feeling a bit down, and drinking kinda helps soothe me over, sadly.  They say drinking brings out the truth in people, that how they act when drunk is how they really are.

I dunno.  Sober I'm kind of a mean spirited jerk.  Drunk I'm vastly happy, dancing around and talking to everybody regardless of if I know them or not.  I dunno why I can't be like that when sober.

Sorry to hear, AHD.  I'm quite lucky that I very seldom drink.  It just doesn't do much for me.  My condolences to you in these tough times.

Back on line with the thread, I am here again.  Not so much drunk as very, very buzzed. I have learned a lot about drinking over the last three or four months that I never understood before. Like when to stop before you redecorate your bathroom with Early American Stomach Contents. There is a life lesson. I still get zipped too fast, but I now know to stop.

Does anyone here find they do something better while drunk than they do while sober  or stoned?  I can write prose better while drunk, but not so well when stoned. But I can write great poetry while stoned, but can't even start while drunk. I also can't read very well while drunk, but I love to read while stoned.

Being stoned is a thing of the past, but I do miss it.

But that is another thread, right?  Oh well.

I find I drink to entertain myself. I'm bored more often than not. Not because there is nothing to do, but because nothing directs my focus. If I'm focused on something, I find drink is a distraction.

Whoops. I'm up late.  Time for bed. Sorry.
