... I come from a world of wine and microbrews and fine whiskey and Scotch. A different world, to be sure, because the focus is people who care more about the art of something that has been around for thousands of years.
Question I don't care, just gimme a drink.

Nevermind, I just looked it up. That's ridiculous. No wonder you find drinkers annoying. I come from a world of wine and microbrews and fine whiskey and Scotch. A different world, to be sure, because the focus is people who care more about the art of something that has been around for thousands of years.
Me, I come from a world of Budweiser and Coors Light.  I love it.  Cause nobody likes Budweiser. Buggedout

Personally, I've noticed I've not really drank in a while.  At least, not beyond two drinks.  I got severely drunk on my birthday and realized that from 21-27, between the alcohol and drug abuse, my body is such I just can't handle it like I did.  I'm not severely out of shape but have noticed I can't walk upstairs anymore without losing breath.  And I'm only 27. Buggedout

So now, if anything, I enjoy one or two beers while watching a baseball game and call it a night.

I'm 43 and don't seem to have problems with handling alcohol, which I'm sure influence my attitudes. But then, I don't tend to drink heavily, that is, I rarely get rip-roaring drunk. When I do, I feel it, but I recover pretty quickly. Still, I don't like being hungover, so I keep myself from drinking that much. I seem to be able to self-regulate pretty well, but I understand that not everyone seems to have that ability.

Oh yeah, that's what I meant to mention. I don't seem to suffer from bad hangovers. Only been badly hungover 2-3 times in the past 6 years from when I first started boozing. All that seems to happen now, is that my stomach feels like it's melting. I'm probably gonna end up sliding down the toilet like that dude in Street Trash.

I get really bad hangovers.  Wake up, the room immediately spins, I lose about 30 pounds in vomit, I shake violently, lay down, the bed shakes, and I vomit some more.  Then the dry heaves, and by the time I get better it's 8PM.  Fun times. 

I think I'm a have a few drinks tonight.  Been kinda down in the dumps lately.  Drinking makes me forget.   Bluesad

Kind of hard, isn't it?  I don't wanna drink, but I like to.  And if I'm going to drink, I do it to obliteration.  It's my Olympic sport, so to speak.

Addiction to alcohol obviously leads to problems.  Addiction to pretty much anything is problematic.  I personally have nothing against consumption of alcohol, although I'm generally opposed to most other drugs (I don't see what the big deal is with pot, though).  I drink very rarely, and it's usually more social than anything; I've been drunk maybe 6 or 7 times.  What baffles me is how people can drink until they're sick all the time.  I've gotten sick one time from drinking and I'll do anything I can to never let it happen again.  I was watching the original Dawn of the Dead late at night in my basement by myself.  I may have had one beer or something but I was sipping straight from a bottle of rum throughout the film.  I didn't feel too torn up or anything, but once them film came to its conclusion I stood up and was like, "Uh-oh."  I went to the bathroom and puked my guts out.  I kept puking when there was nothing left to puke up.  I eventually found my way to bed and when I woke up I started the day with more gutless puking.  I had a horrible hangover and spent some time enjoying the bathroom floor. 

God, how do people do it?

God, how do people do it?

Some people are just cut out for drinking, and some aren't. There's no explaining it. I enjoy good wine and good beer, so I'm not drinking to get drunk. So you don't really see me doing tequila shots or downing rum. Although I do enjoy sipping a nice whiskey or scotch on occasion. I do enjoy the general feeling of a couple of drinks. The other day my wife and I relaxed in the hot tub with a couple of cold Coronas. What could be wrong with that?

I have never had a hangover in my life, no matter how much I drank or how much I mixed various drinks in a single night.  Of course, I have been tired or maybe had a headache the next morning, but after an hour or so I've always been back on my feet.  I have never been sick the day after drinking like some people (you know . . . out of commission for the whole day . . . in bed . . . can't move).  Here is what works for me:

* NEVER drink and then go to bed without eating.  I'm sure having a stomach full of liquor and then going to sleep is what causes most people to have terrible hangovers the next day.  I find that "doughy," high carb foods work best for me.  Eat a stack of pancakes or some pizza before you go to bed and you will feel fine in the morning.

* Take aspirins, Alka Seltzer or whatever your favorite remedy is BEFORE YOU GO TO BED.  Most people wait until the next morning when they already feel terrible.  Too late.  So, eat something, then suck down an Alka Seltzer.  You'll be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed in the morning.

And that's my advice for today.


 Cheers

Last New Year's Eve was the last time I got pretty drunk, both the wife and I. We spent the night at a local Indian Casino. The next morning we had a bloody Mary each as hair of the dog. It works.

The puking and puking again and then waking up and puking some more is alcohol poisoning. It is literally poisoning. You've overloaded your body's ability to deal with the excess of alcohol you've subjected it to. Not a good thing to do.

I remember when I first moved out of the house and spent a weekend with my uncle at his cabin drinking with some friends of his. There was a gentleman there who described his experience with hangovers. He didn't wake up with the common symptoms of a hangover (headaches and the like). No, when he woke up he wanted to die.

I had no experience like it at the time, but it rings truer to me more and more these days. I don't get hangovers much these days, but I find when I drink too much I have a general sense of malaise the day after. I think it has to do with neurotransmitters and the lack of true sleep. Alcohol disrupts true REM sleep, you get none of the benefits of true sleep when you drink alcohol. REM sleep is necessary for life and mental health.

That's why I made it a rule not to drink when I had something important the next day. It's more than a simple hangover, your body chemistry is screwed when you subject it to a bit of hard drinking. I'm very protective of my brain when I have to use it.

Good point about REM sleep. Actually, a mild wine buzz makes me sleep like a baby and I wake up feeling grand. But, over consumption will do that to you. I certainly don't sleep right if I'm dead drunk, which is exactly why I so rarely do it.

On the other hand, back when I was in my early 20's and would get rip-roaring drunk more often, I was also working as either a mover or in construction. Heavy physcial labor. I found that I would wake up with a hangover and that there was no way I was going to be able handle the job site or moving refrigerators up staircases, but it would turn out that good ol' hard physical labor was exactly what would kill my hangover, and by the mid day I felt completely normal again. Whereas if I had stayed home and nursed my hangover I would have had that malaise you speak of.

Then again, who really knows? Everyone's body works differently.

Addiction to alcohol obviously leads to problems.  Addiction to pretty much anything is problematic.   

Alcohol pretty much destroyed my brother's first two marriages (he no longer drinks and i am SO glad).  Ironically, he's third wife was a closet alcoholic and that was the end of his last marriage. I hate being around drunks, Izzy's daddy would drink, among other things, and turn into a complete monster. I am so happy that I've been able to keep her away from that.  TeddyR being a good mom is really important to me!
I drink occasionally but rarely do i consume alcohol to the point that I am falling down drunk. I may have a glass of wine before I go to bed while i unwind at night or enjoy a tequila shot when out eating tex-mex. At least when I do get slammed, I know the reason for it and that makes it alot easier not to drink. I haven't really sworn off alcohol...just for the first time in my life, I am truly happy and the last thing I want to have to do is have to come up with some sort of an excuse for my actions. Life is just too short and happiness is too fleeting, so I'm giving it my all to stay happy.
Also, I wanted to mention, today makes me six days without any sort of narcotics. Granted, they are prescribed and I am sure there are times when they are going to be a necessity, but i don't want to be too dependent on them. It's been a hard week (that is an understatement ) and the withdrawls have been awful, but like I said, I'm happy and don't want to mess that up. On a lighter note, turns out that when you don't have bottles of morphine laying around, it's amazing how much your company dwindles down.... oh well, don't guess those people were my friends to begin with... and that's OK, i have all the friends i need right here on the board!
