The joys of alcoholic

    Oh the joys of being an alcoholic get better by the day.
    Have about seven and a half beers last night and was completely smashed.
    Don't remember a bloody thing to be honest but half my friends are no longer talking to me. Think I may have tried it on with his bird or something. He sent me a text saying "you're a compete and utter tit, wb". The other guy doesn't have time for me at the best of times either.
    I spent about 50 quid too. The worst thing is I know I'll do it all over again on the 17th of May.
    I wish I could give this **** up for life.
    It seems to get worse every time now too.
    People say it keeps getting worse with age too and I'm already 25.
    How can you give up this crap for once and for all?

    I don't think going out on the lash now and again makes you an alcoholic.

    Though if you can get drunk on €50 you could teach a lot of people some tricks :P

    it's binge drinking is what it is.
    Why do people always pretend they drink more than 10 pints. There no way a human body could be hold all the liquid.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,938 ✭✭✭mackg


    If you're going to keep drinking try to drink slower, drinking anything fast even something like beer and you'd be surprised how pissed you get off what seems like not a lot of booze.


  • Registered Users Posts: 121 ✭✭funnilenough


    dude,when i'm startin to feel a bit ropey i have a sneaky pint of water.if that doesnt work then i just stick to the coke.

    You do know that you have a sort of release valve for that very reason?

    It's why the people you're drinking with get up and go into that little room down the back at regular intervals.

    Don't sell yourself short Teddy. Slow the pace a bit though.

    You take plenty of piss breaks but loads of people have more than 10 pints in one sitting. Its all down to tolerance levels its nothing to do with been a hard man or anything. When I drink at weekends I drink an upwards of 10 pints on a night, its bad binging I know, but I enjoy it.

    Well you live & learn. This bugged me.

    Ted, your only 25. Don't worry about the drinking thing. Your tolerance to it will get better with age.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,808 ✭✭✭Stained Class


    Ha ha its write back:)

    I didn't know what a tracker mortgage was either.:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Shryke


    **** happens Teddy. The worst thing you can do is try to tag yourself with some nonsense catch-all like "alcoholic" because of your guilt for screwing up a bit on the social scene.
    A real alco would laugh at your 7 pints in fairness. If anything you were a bit of a tit while inebriated. We've all been there. I've maybe done worse things myself.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    If your nights out are regularly like this, then maybe look at cutting back a bit.

    If not, don't worry too much, we all get quite drunk now and then.
    You probably still have a touch of the fear: wait and see how you feel about last night in a few days.

    Are you under the illusion that by drinking water you will somehow sober up in between pints of beer? :D

    The liver doesnt work like that,all the pub has at that stage with you is,a drunk who cant stop pissing while not spending any money.

    Just don't drink as much, OP. You're responsible for your behaviour no matter what. 4 months ago I ended up pissing, puking and crapping simultaneously. That was too much.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭jaffacakesyum

    Why do people always pretend they drink more than 10 pints. There no way a human body could be hold all the liquid.

    I agree there are people who think they're mad and lie about how much they drink, but I'm surprised you don't think anyone can drink more than 10 pints :confused: Maybe you're just lucky not to surround yourself with binge drinkers and alcoholics :pac:

    I'm female and I've had more than 10 pints on nights out before so I expect a lot of men could also. It all depends on your own tolerance to alcohol - it varies from person to person.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,509 ✭✭✭✭randylonghorn


    Teddy, there's a simple question to ask yourself: are you in control of the alcohol, or is it in control of you?

    And I'm talking on an ongoing basis here: we all overdo things once in a blue moon.

    If the latter, you need to cut back at least; you may need to seek help if that isn't working.

    I enjoy a couple of pints as much as the next person, but we can glorify alcohol in this country and equate it to being the "hard man", and overdo it until we suddenly realise, often too late, that we're not living our own lives, alcohol is living them for us.

    '

    thats eggsackly what happens with my liver.you just try and prove it doesn't!
    and whats wrong with pissing and not spending money?


  • Registered Users Posts: 850 ✭✭✭celticcrash


    Try stopping for a few months. If you can stop for 3 months and be happy while not drinking than you might not have a problem.
    But its not how much you drink, its how it affects you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 654 ✭✭✭girl2


    Dude, I kinda like ya, cos your posts are usually funny, so I feel the need to reach out the hand of help (am on the fone here so can't do smilies - but I want to do the one with the BIG grin).

    Anyway, I dunno if your post is a joke or kinda true? My friend Colm, he's in AA and he would tell ya that if yer drinking is causing you bother, well then, you need to take a good think about it.

    So says Colm. And he's a good dude too. AA might not be so bad. It'll get you outta the house if anything!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 82 ✭✭bubbuz


    Old Chinese proverb...... " First the man takes the drink then the drink takes the man " hmmmmm, no prizes for guessing where I read that.
    Alcoholism is a killer disease, and certainly not one to be mocked, in my opinion OP if your worried then just ease off for a while and see how you go but don't go punishing yourself with guilt over what you did while you were on the drink or that'll just drive you straight back to it, we've all made dicks of ourselves while drunk, don't beat yourself up over it.
