Rethinking your drinking

[Probie]

Probie and I are drinking beer at the house at around a case every three or four days. We didn't factor $100 a month into rent lol

That.


Wild Turkey tonight though

I can assure you my drinking problem is on the supply side only.

I'm still adding......

Ten years ago or so, I actually decided to go through all my credit card charges for that month and the bar tabs alone came out to just about $800. That's basically how me and all my friends were at the time. We were regulars at a different bar every night of the week more or less. Went on that way for quite some time before and after I figured out I spent that much on booze.

Luckily I was able to grow up and out of that stage in life and now we probably spend less than $100 a month between Katrina and I. Of course that's not including random GTG's or her girls nights/bday parties etc.

I thought I drank too much, but some of the comments in here make me feel better about it lol.

Yeah these guys are making me feel good as well.

I haven't had a drink in two weeks.

[01-GATOR]

This year I have spent way too much on drinking (dfwmustangs baller wise)

I need to slow it down and save some cash

[JC316]

Damn, bunch of alcoholics in here. 6 pack will last me a week to a month depending on my work load. Have a 750ml bottle of scotch that has lasted damn near two years.

I finished adding.

My total for 2014 thus far is $0, same as last year.

That is just crazy to me. And no hookers are involved in that estimate?

I take it back. More I think about it, it's probably closer to 1.5 handles a week. There are some weeks where a handle will last a full 7 days. There are definitely weeks where I go through more than two. But overall, the average is probably under two.

I drink 2 or 3 stiff drinks on weeknights to wind down, and on weekends I drink too get drunk. I throw in maybe 2 nights a week where I don't drink at all.

Either way, I suppose that's a lot. Never really stopped to think about it. It has no negative effects on my life, as far as relationships and work and all that, but it definitely helps keep me fat and maybe my liver hates me.

I figured all that was fairly normal, but you guys are making me feel like a lush. Maybe I'll reel it in a bit.

You drink a lot dude. You're also a big guy. And we're all getting to the age where we aren't bulletproof any more. It will start having an effect on your health soon if it hasn't already and you just don't know yet.

Don't take that as me telling you you should slow down, you're a merry drunk, and we're all adults here. But you and me both are knocking on the door of 40, and I've watched my health decline through my 30's and imagine that is only going to keep on happening. On the bright side it seems to be on a slight uptick and I've lost some weight.

And there are the milfs waiting for you to get out and find them. They may have baggage but many have the NSA down.

Maybe a 12 pack a week. Had a few alcoholics in the family so not trying to go down that road

[Tyrone Biggums]

3 or 4 years prior to January of '13 I went through a 750ml of some kind of bourbon a week with a few beers scattered in between. Then I got real sick for a couple of weeks and never picked the bourbon back up. I've been given two bottles as gifts over the last year and both remain unopened. Maybe one day.

I got back in to beer, started homebrewing, and have 3-4 beers on tap at any given time and try to always keep one in the fermenter. I thought I would potentially drink more by doing this, but I don't, which is good. I have 1-2 pints a night during the week and maybe 3 on Saturday night, if I can stay awake that long.
