I'm drunk!

\m/

housewarming! congrats

I'm way drunk and I'm worried that I just angered my husband with an elaborate (and drunken!) political rant.

heeeeeYYYYYYYYYYY

feeling a lot of brooklyn patriotism rn

land of bars

I took a break from drinking but today I bought a bottle of CC. Wanting to watch Prince videos on youtube, but I can't find any?

Do ILXorz chat anywhere any more?

Not really but on the rare occasion slack or discord

why is drinking so popular? it's one of the worst drugs. the cycles of 12 ounce pisses, the feeling the next day. you can end up with a lampshade on your head. but sometimes there is also a quiet dignity in being drunk while trying to do thinks normally

i meant something else there but i'll leave it at that

It's legal.

1) Because a substantial industry advocates on its behalf; and 2) it's a socially sanctioned way of transcending normal consciousness.

cheers to that

I think actually 2 is the egg and 1 is the chicken

Otherwise totally on point, 🍻

crazy sometimes to think about the fact that there are people out there who don't drink. life isn't good enough to be sober for all of it. thats all

You’re probably right but I’m too anxious to start drinking.

I'm too anxious to not drink.

my friends

mookie otm

<3

My cat just destroyed my cocktail shaker. I think he was sending me a message. 😭😭😭

life isn't good enough to be sober for all of it

That's part of it.

The other way of looking at it is that some bits of life are amicably complemented by drinking, and vice versa. In the way that wines and food go well together. Or the way that when you put complementary colors next to each other, both benefit and seem truer and more vibrant.

Camaraderie, joy, food, celebration, even quiet solitary contemplation are among these. It's not that one _must_ drink to make these enjoyable - it's that one _can_, and the combination is pleasing. So why not, provided this can be done without harming others (or oneself overmuch)?

I was at the bar sitting outside in the shade yesterday afternoon and felt like I could chill there forever

no chillin in bars

crazy sometimes to think about the fact that there are people out there who don't drink

im sure there is a heroin addict something thinking the same thing about non-junkies

drinking is a hugely socially acceptable thing w massive industry & promotional push behind it, portrayed as cool in every pop song and tv show and movie, it is hardly interesting behavior

but dont let that stop you from patting yourself on the back pretending that pointless consumption is actually some philosophical approach towards life

jfc Adam did you run out of beer or something

never trust a bastard that doesn't like gouching out on a gram of good heroin :p

drinking beer kicks ass, i'm sure you understand why but are choosing to be a petulant ween about it instead

challops bruno strikes again

Thinking about starting an I'm Sober! thread.

Hey whaddaya know:

Sobriety: Classic or Dud?

also potentially relevant is I'm an alcoholic

I’m drunk tbh

some bits of life are amicably complemented by drinking

this is true for many of us, but for others it is more of a theory that never coincides with reality

crossposting with all the EtOH threads encouraged!

To be clear though there are all sorts of reasons ppl choose not to drink. In my world people tend to assume that anyone who doesn't drink has a history of EtOH problems, is 12 stepping, etc. But that is a very narrow perspective, one that doesn't help with the "sober" stigma.

xp think the post covered must vs can ably and was covered by the usual overarching proviso of "nobody claims universal truth of experience" tbf to ymp

xp lol mixing threads

sounds like you could be. . . drunk?

just Irish I think

I've never stopped supping since I was 15 tbh and am from a lineage of dour stayers! but idk life just seems to be a mixture of horror, fear and crushing disappointment and no fun without booze.
