Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2004 Like, before I started drinking regularly, I would go to parties or social gatherings and just nurse a Bud Light, only to humor the other people there. I was a horrible loser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1234-5678 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2004 1. Switch to beer, period. No more hard liquor. 2. Smoke pot when you drink. You'll get fucked up quicker and won't pound so much beer if you keep your head. I'm already getting a damn gut from beer, I was hoping to switch to just hard liquor, but oh well. The "smoke pot while drinking" theory may work for me though, if I cut down on the boozing, but in the past, it has only produced violent vomiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2004 Nah, I really have more fun when I'm fucked up. I was once foolish and thought sobriety was the way to go, too. I drink to.......but only at parties. And I really have about the same amount of fun drunk and sober. I only drink beer though......maybe that's it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted August 3, 2004 You need to make a bet with someone. If you're a notorious lush, they'll take it, you can win with some willpower, and get rewarded for your behavior. Use conditioning to your advantage, because no one likes to lose a bet.

Guest Dids Report post Posted August 3, 2004 Here's the thing I see. The problem isn't the drinking, it's the doing stupid shit. Just stop doing things that are retarded. Then you can be one of those "I love you man" drunks. It's fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1234-5678 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2004 I never do stupid shit when I drink, I am usually the guy who is just chillin, making fun of those who cannot handle their booze. It's the last two weekend's mishaps that made me reconsider things...........maybe it's just that whiskey doesn't agree with me anymore. Anyways, tomorrow I am supposed to rehearse with this band for the first time. Any ideas on how to accomplish that sober? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2004 Jaxl, I saw this the other day and thought about it, as my situation pretty much mirrors your scenario. My problem is that almost all the time I am hanging out with my friends there is drinking involved, so that does make it tough. My advice, which isn't fool proof, is to identify the days of the week you always drink, then see if you can drop one, and DO NOT drink on other days. Here's my week, usually. Sunday - Usually do not drink, may change during football season. Monday - I usually drink a fair amount while watching wrestling/MNF. Tuesday - Fricker's for wings & beer. This may happen every other week though. Wednesday - No real specials lots of people going out this day. Thursday - $ 1.99 36 ounce beers at Burrito Loco, so lots of beer is consumed. Friday - I try not to drink this night, since I do enough during the week. Saturday - Lock the women & children away! So if I usually drink Monday/Thursday/Saturday each week, I try to only do it one other day during the week, although it does not always work out so well.

1234-5678 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2004 Sunday: Only during football season, and maybe WWE PPVs if someone orders, especially during the Rumble or Wrestlemania. Monday: During the rare occasions I watch Raw, I might have a couple. If the Eagles play MNF, then definitely. Tuesday: Almost never, unless we get a case and plop down on my friend's deck, but that is very very rare these days. Wednesday: Stopped for a while, but recently started going back to this place around our way because of the 50 cent drinks and the load of girls that chill there. Thursday: Every week I go to the bar around the corner cause me and my boys know all the people, and I get hooked up with plenty of free beers. Friday: Every week. Party or bar or both. Saturday: Every week. Party or bar or both or 3PW or all of the above. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh well, guess I'll wait until Friday night. That's gonna be one hell of a day. 8 hours of working hand and hand with my boss for a 200 case shipment. God help me, break out the liquor.

1234-5678 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2004 And the experiment ends at 4 days 4 hours. Sure rehearsal was cancelled, but........I wanted to come up with some new material. And what do writers do? Drink. I just started my first Seagrams and Coke, and I am attempting to get into Radiohead here, after an awful experience with Death Cab For Cutie. Anyways, wish me luck.
