Social How would you desribe your relationship with alcohol?

[William Munny]

I'm thinking about going cold turkey.

I've had some great times on booze, don't get me wrong. had so many great hook ups, celebrations and so forth.

I've also had some problems associated with it, specifically filtering my thoughts, actions and knowing when to stop drinking, rather than consuming in excess.

I've noticed that after a few benders it's difficult to remember certain things about the previous night.

Looking back, I've done some self reflection and wondering if alcohol has been a net positive or negative in my life.

and I come from a family of alcoholics so I've seen first hand what it can do.

would you consider yourself a "casual" drinker, or are you the type who consumes to get "messed up?"

or are you stone cold sober?

Please feel free to share personal experiences. thank you.

I'm a very casual drinker now. Just don't get the pleasure from it as much anymore. I'm just social drinker at best.

I enjoy a drink after work most days, but I've been thinking about dialing it back.

a daily delta-8 gummy has pretty much replaced my booze consumption. other than a beer on a hot day or occasional nice scotch, not really drinking.

but if I'm at an event like a wedding with open bar, then it's party on Wayne!

The same as my relationship with a lady.... nonexistent.

There isn't one . I'm in my 50s and haven't had a drink since I was 14 or something apart from people spiking my coke .

One of my close friends got sacked from work due to booze and is about to die due to liver issues buggering up his body . Not expected to make it through the night .

After 40 years of abusing it, I’ve been free of its grasp on my life over 5 years now

She's a cruel mistress. Lots of fun but you pay for it in many bad ways.

I'm a heavy daily drinker. 4-8 drinks every night. Been that way for almost 10 years now. I do it more out of boredom than anything else. I've quit cold turkey before and I always feel and look better but always come back. Just like one would for the great sex with a mistress who can potentially cause you trouble.

Only special occasions or while fishing.

 

[Otto!]

I average 1-2 drinks per week.

Pretty good. I usually don't drink a lot as it is and when I do get my favorite Bourbon I make last awhile.
