Sobering experiment

[shotsup 835]

IF I do it wifey asked me to keep track of how much I drink in one night. Beers and shots.

 

There was no way I was doing this on the weekend.

 

I might do it this week. I'll probably cheat anyway.

I don't think I want to know.

Don't you already know you're a drunk?

I think she thinks I will look at the number and freak out and cut down. Doubtful

That was so cool, being that guy who could pound the beers.

or...you could assume it's a lack of communication issue and that she is really pleading with you to deal with it before there are consequences of whatever flavor. maybe? there's no medal in the waiting. don't allow it to become a snare.

It is not really an experiment. This is just counting what happens regularly. More of an observation than experiment.

 

Now, if you added in hookers and heroin, then it would be an experiment. Get crackin' !

I drink too much. I have maybe 3-4 very weekday night and weekends (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) I may have 7-8 beers each day. That's around 35-40 alcoholic beverages per week, way more than is good for you.

 

I'm planning to take the month of January off from drinking just to prove I can do it. Despite all the drinking I get to the gym 3x per week so hopefully I drop 20 lbs and get shredded.

 

Anyway that all had nothing to do with your post really.

[frank 2,348]

You're a drunk. p < .05.

 

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Me too. Before dinner. If I had to guess the numbers will look like 8-10 beers and 6 - 8 shots. I really

I don't consume that much liquid in a day.

Shots? Like actual shots...not adding up what you put into a drink.

But just 6-8 shots every week?

Seriously...who the fock just does shots on a weekly basis?

[BiPolarBear 497]

Get a fresh 12 pack and a new fifth. Look in the morning.

Yes actual shots and nightly. Reading comprehension is not your strong suit buddy.

[shotsup 835]

I drink massive amounts of water during the day

 

And 3 cups of coffee

We've all been on benders, but that much during a regular work week is crazy. Your body can't process it out fast enough for the next night, you're killing your organs.

 

When was the last time you had a blood test with a physical?

That is stupid. What issues are you using the booze to mask?

Can't sleep without it ??

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,433]

You might want exercise more. People that drink that much are trying to forget something.

You can pick up that dream water, that helps me sleep somedays.

shotsup, do you have a high pressure job?

i find i need 1 to 2 glasses of wine to unwind from work.

then in the morning i need 2 double shots of espresso to make it through the day.

i try not to drink wine or coffee on the weekends.

i've often felt like i was a drug addict, using wine to put me to sleep and coffee to wake me up.

i'm weaning myself off of the coffee-but not the wine.

wine helps me cook dinner and get to sleep...eventually, around 2 am, lol.

if i had more time i'd workout more regularly, that really helps.

(but working out keeps me skinny and i eventually want to gain weight)

[shotsup 835]

See doctor regularly.

All good.

Normal aging issues.

All good.

Was slightly high (BP) but 120/80 with meds.

[peenie 1,985]

glad your blood pressure is under control, but do you have a lot of stress at work?

maybe you need a vacation, even if you don't go anywhere.

[shotsup 835]

With commute I work a 12 hour day and still go to the gym 3 days a week and at least one if not both days on the weekend.

 

Needless to say I do not sleep very much.

Good call, some family experimentation always takes the edge off

This has been a 25+ year thing. Scary but true. Have not had a sober day in more then 25 years.

 

If Not More.

 

We vacation well.

You're getting married?? Congrats!

 

When's the ceremony?

And no BJ's.

shotsup - get help. Seriously. I don't care what you tell yourself, that ain't healthy

Thanks. I didn't mean to turn this into a "look at me" threada.

 

I wake up at 5AM and walk a mile to the LIRR and say to myself it is discusting how great I feel knowing how much I drank last night.

Never watched it.

[MDC 7,947]

Never watched it.

It's about a bunch of guys who drink like you but they're all richer, more successful, better looking and bang hotter women.

[shotsup 835]

Doubt that. At least on a couple of points. I am very lucky !

[vuduchile 1,947]

I used to comment to my wife that I was gonna start running my biz like those guys did.

 

Open bar in my office, special reserve scotch in my desk drawer, 3 ashtrays with a lit cig going in each one.....

 

Except, I quit smoking years ago, I'm really only an occasional drinker.

 

I do come home sometimes and tell her to fix me a drink as soon as I walk in. She usually produces a red solo cup filled with tepid tap water.

I don't see how you could drink like you do the night before a blood test and pass it just fine, especially since you do it every night. Your liver has to be on some sort of serious overdrive.

[Sho Nuff 720]

Sorry...read MDC's quick about week day.

 

Both of you fockers need help.

 

None of that is normal.

Not defending my drinking but my 3-4 beers per weeknight is in no way comparable to 8 beers plus 6 shots a day. I drink too much but that's liver failure territory right there.
