I've Got The Shakes

[JTB 52]

7 days a week of that? Thats gross.

Pretty much.

[listen2me 23 1,952]

Ok I dont believe you. 2 1.75s is like 112 shots total of vodka is it not? I always figured 32 in a liter. Thats 16 shots of vodka a day.

 

Plus.. 6-8 beers a night.

 

That is hard to believe. Maybe I underestimate you.

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

I have a friend here who drinks a fifth of whiskey and 6-8 beers every night. That's just weeknights.

 

Focking crazy. Alcohol is by far his biggest expense.

[listen2me 23 1,952]

I can see doing that a few nights maybe. But 7 days a week? Thats just wild to me. Assuming you work, you would not be legally under the linit to drive until you went home. Maybe later.

Don't. I don't care.

This is true (and with commute I am out of the house 12-13 hours a day).

 

Many a day I look for where I parked my car that morning.

Some days have to search.

 

My motto is life is one long day with a series of naps.

[listen2me 23 1,952]

When I drank a lot or so I thought it was roughly 18-20 beers on fri and again on saturday. Or say 12-14 and several shots if I was out at a bar with my friends. So basically 20 drinks in any fashion. Then maybe 12 on sunday to shake myself straight and not lay around all day sunday. Then maybe a 6 pack or less after work or after classes monday thru thursday. But even then I would still take 1 or 2 days off a week depending.

 

Im 5'10 175. Are you guys similar in size to Andre the Giant?

Soon to be, F@ck, I wish I hadn't drank so much and destroyed my liver and am now in a hospital bed dying.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you pull through.

[BunnysBastatrds 2,606]

6'3 230. I drink beers like water.. the shots are for fun. The vodka helps me sleep. And its catching up.

[BunnysBastatrds 2,606]

My pancreas is madder than hell.

[shotsup 835]

Same. Beer is fun and I can't sleep without booze. Mostly vodka but I get a sh!t ton of gifts all year long. JD JW all colors. All sorts of varieties

[listen2me 23 1,952]

I am a terrible insomniac. Bur for me anyway booze many times makes it worse. If I put on a nice buzz I cant get to sleep. Sure if I black myself out I will pass out. But then I will wake up at like 6am and not be able to go back asleep.

 

Ive tried the Ambien and that stuff is bad. Started out working but Id feel drowsy a bit for half a day after. Then like anything else built a tolerance. Soon i was chewing off a bit of an extra pill to put me away. Then half. Then take 2. I had some weird ass visions one night and tossed the rest of my bottle on the toilet.

 

Weed keeps me up even the heavy indicas.

[fandandy 3,313]

What kind of visions?

[shotsup 835]

I drink the same amount 7 days a week and wake up at 5 AM everyday. 7days a week.

that's why I label myself as functional.

And that I don't ever call out "drunk"

[BunnysBastatrds 2,606]

Tomorrow is my birthday.

[BunnysBastatrds 2,606]

[listen2me 23 1,952]

What kind of visions?

I took too much to where I didnt get sleepy or at least I didnt feel that way. I felt zoned out. Long story short I have a half brother I have never met and I was talking to his adopted mom on facebook at 6am after somwhat avoiding her a bit. But all of a sudden was waist deep in conversation with her. I was sitting on the floor with my laptop. And in a way saw this person next to me sitting but didnt have a care in the world as I typed. I just sort of was fine with the fact that someone was sitting beside me and I wasnt frightened or interested about it. Hard to explain how it felt.

 

I'd of chalked it up to a dream but I saw the conversations the next day. I thought I had contacted this lady and said a little bit but I had a full on conversation with her from 6am for an hour going back and forth.

[BunnysBastatrds 2,606]

It's my birthday today. 48.

[wiffleball 4,797]

Only amateurs keep count.

[wiffleball 4,797]

Happy BunnyDay Birthstards!

I believe him. I've treated alcoholics who consume a couple fifths + a few beers daily.

[MDC 7,896]

I thought I was bad with my 2-3 beers per night / 5-6 on the weekends. Turns out I am healthy.

[Patriotsfatboy1 1,433]

You are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Get some help and try to stop.

 

That is far too much booze. I need to cut back myself, but I can't even hang with you guys.

[shotsup 835]

I believe him. I've treated alcoholics who consume a couple fifths + a few beers daily.

Should I be happy or sad about this.

[shotsup 835]

And I know it's ridiculous but it is what it is.

[vuduchile 1,947]

And I know it's ridiculous but it is what it is.

Doesn't have to be.

[Mike Honcho 5,438]

At least you don't have 'snakes'

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy! 2,745]

So do your shakes bring the boys to the yard?

[MDC 7,896]

And I know it's ridiculous but it is what it is.

 

I seriously have a few questions:

 

How much $ do you spend on booze in a given week? That is an extreme amount of drinking, you've got to be spending hundreds per week right?

 

Do you wake up hungover every day? How do you get to work and function? Do you feel like ass every day of the week?

 

Does your wife / family give you any grief over your drinking? How can you possibly be a good father to your kids when you're ripped all the time?

[DankNuggs 305]

This is pretty much me... I'll have a couple of beers most weekday nights... And on the weekends its 4-6 beers... Maybe 15-20 beers a week. Don't drink liquor..

[penultimatestraw 473]

Should I be happy or sad about this.

Sad - this ain't gonna end well. And there will probably be enough suffering to offset any pleasure you get from the booze. That is your choice, of course, but you won't be the only one to suffer.

My sister is a little over 5' and 100 lbs. Drank a fifth of Bacardi a day before she dried out.

 

She's a crazy Cross-Fitter now.

Not really that expensive if he stays home in a week. 1.75 in most cases is cheap vodka. Or at least should be....if you are pounding vodka all day just go cheap. Those run 15 bucks a pop. So 30 for 2. 8 beers if you are going cheap beers is like 7 bucks x 7 49. So roughly 80 bucks to get hammed all week long.

 

The bar does kill you though. I have a buddy who started out as a teachers aid/computer teacher who obviously made dlck. He would go to the local hole in the wall bar thursday sat sun. He would drop 60 bucks routinely on 3 dollar miller lites and he would play the juke box when he got drunk and drop another 20 for no reason in there. So 240 a week on really no fun what so ever seeing the same people each week sit around talking about nothing....when his check was maybe 500 a week net. Probably at most. He pretty much kept up on his bills some how. No kids no car payment.

I asked about the $ because I probably spend $300-$400 on boozer per month but that's for me and my wife and we are clearly drinking less together than shotsup by himself.

 

My big reasons for not drinking more are that I just can't handle it while also being productive at work. And now that I'm a dad I don't ever really drink so much that I wouldn't be able to handle an emergency.
