Thread 21529947

I have the feeling I bought and payed a handle of liquor yesterday, but left it at the store and forgot to take it with me.

So go back and as... wait... why are you only buying single handles not cases? You can get case discounts at many places.

>>21529951
I think its a bit too late a day later.

>>21529954
Did you buy anything else or have the receipt? If that's the only thing you got I doubt you'd forget walking out with it. Left beside your car or on top? Eh... sounds like you need more liquor anyways since you buy in small amounts. Might as well go back and ask. Mine knows me by heart and always has a few cases in the corner that the kid can load up on a dolly quickly.

>>21529968
I go to different stores each time. I don't have the receipt. I think I was buying some beer and frozen pizzas with it.

>>21529973
Ah OK. Mine is a liquor beer only store.

Oh well, it'll pop up or it won't. Not sure how else I or anyone here can help you more with that but come back when you're drunk and you remember.

>>21529947 (OP)
did you drink it all and forget?

>>21529986
Drink it?

>>21529987
are you drunk right now?

>>21529986
No. I remember buying a whisky and vodka, but when I was at home it was only whisky.
Maybe I remember it wrong and I was just looking at the vodka bottle at the store.

If you buy a case at a time it's alot harder to forget and you can keep it in the fridge or freezer and it won't dilute your drink as much. Also save money sometimes and you won't be going out of your way every few days to just get a single bottle. Saves you money and time in the lomg run.

>>21529951
>refridgerating hard liquor

>>21530033
Not gonna start up another chest freezer yet till harvest time.

A full refridgerator is an efficient one as long as air isn't blocked.

>>21529951
>you can get case discounts at many places.
I don't like making massive bulk purchases of alcohol since buying by the bottle gives me the illusion that I can quit when I want.

>>21530047
>the alcoholic has a sense of embarrassment and shame

I find that hard to believe.

>>21529951
I wish I'd known this before I went to rehab. I might have been able to pay my rent a week longer and spent less time in the woods.

Take it sign to get your shit together, and take the liquor store walk of shame/legend

>did I buy a handle of booze here last night and forget to take it with me?

>>21530054
It pays off over time. I just don't get how people can live on those small flask ones. For fucks sakes you'd be there every other day or more. I live rural on alot of property so it would cost even more to drive out of my way to the liquor store that often.

Also the prepper in me always wants alot in case of supply disruption/collapse.

>>21530083
>Also the prepper in me always wants alot in case of supply disruption/collapse
You should just start making your own then.

>>21529951
if I had this setup right now my already abysmal life would end up at the point of no return

>>21530140
I mean its not that much would last me maybe a month or two

>>21530145
That's what I estimated. I could put more cases down in my shelter but ehh...

is this the thread

>>21530083
Those are the fuckers who can't stop drinking. The one's who would actually die in less than a week of you let them in that fridge of yours.
>t. one of them

>>21530189
I'm sure they exist because this is a big world but I've personally never had a drinking buddy who was like that. I do alright, I just try to be economical and if anyone remembers my posts in the past I always advocate for abstaining drinking the next day and drink some ovaltine in the morning and eat good fresh nutrient dense food throughout. I know some people I guess are not capable of that for financial/laziness/biological reasons but I know I couldn't have lived as long as I have consuming a little less than half a 1.75l bottle of rum every other night and owning a multimillion dollar ranch.

If you can, drink every other night if you really like to drink. I've never felt the need to drink the very next day. I'm dehydrated still even though I drink water after I drink throughout the night. Well, wish you all the best. Try not to drink every day. After many years of life I am pretty darn sure you need a recovery day.

>>21530054
Or dead

>>21530160
I belive it is my friend.

>>21530305
You gonna post the young hard stuff first orrr

Just passed 90 days sober for the first time in 5 years

kind of amazing to not feel shitty and sick all the time

I mean I still feel shitty emotionally, just not physically

>>21530436
Congrats on swinging from one extreme to another because you're incapable of basic moderation. Have a pin.

>>21530436
Im not close to sober, but I made an effort these past few months to not drink during the week at all and not drink ALL weekend. can certainly feel the difference, some nights are harder than others, but overall i feel better.

>>21530445
I just don't really see a point in moderating, if I'm only having a few drinks then I'm just going to feel mildly shitty and sick and consciously feel my intelligence and memory slipping away a bit without the benefits of getting plastered and actually being able to escape my emotions and thoughts for a while. What's the point in that? It just doesn't make sense to me. Would rather just stay sober.

>>21529968
>Might as well go back and ask.
Going back in person connects your face with the transaction, and your stupidity may come across as charming. They could have mercy on you. Make up a story about how your guests were upset that you left the one thing they asked you to buy. so you know for sure you didn't have it.

Go ahead and offer a tip or make an additional purchase if it goes your way. Offer to compliment your honesty to management, if they wish. You do have some other recourse to further complain if you think it does not go your way and you have a respectful ability to insinuate the dishonest worker actually slight of hand and intentionally scammed you on purpose.

>>21529947 (OP)
Make your own boozlet. 85% right out the still. No danger of methanol poisoning if you don't try to fix up the denatured stuff.

>>21530478
>I just don't really see a point in moderating
Which is why you were an alcoholic

>>21530515
Surely you're not implying that you come into thread like this, and only drink a beer or two with friends every couple weeks

>>21529947 (OP)
>I’ve got a feeling
>That I bought and payed for a handle
>That I forgot to take with me
>That I left at the liquor store

>>21530436
You need a congratulations-drink

>>21529947 (OP)
Tito's is trash. Much better vodkas around nowadays, even in Texas.

>>21530874
Kirkland vodka handles are 13 bucks and taste better than tito's

Guys I ran out of booze, not even enough to go to the store.

Its bad.

>>21530953
just shoplift some lol

>>21529951
That's a lot of fun water you got there

>>21530971
No, I mean its not enough booze.

>>21531003
doordash and ubereats and such can have booze sent right to your door in minutes

the only downside is having to face the pajeet bringing you your skol from 7/11 at 2am

>>21530953
>>21531003
2nd worst feeling as an alkie is already being pigshit wasted, but wanting more, not going to sleep, not even really a person still, just needing more booze. worst feeling is waking up the day after and picking up the pieces
>>21531019
in texas alcohol in stores stops being sold at midnight, 1 am on saturdays. bars only open till 2 am. Id probably be dead if I lived in a state where I could get a handle at 7/11 at 4 am

>>21531036
The worst feeling is shaking and almost unable to walk, you lay down in bed but when trying to sleep you get hallucinations directly from hell.

>>21531074
yeah the hallucinations are pretty bad

>>21531074
>>21531087
I get the weirdest damn dreams if I get too drunk and took my vitamins late in the day, sometimes sleep paralysis.

I use to say a prayer for other people who are drinking that they never have the misfortune to run out. I hope you bros never run out during the worst time.

>>21530050
Shame is precisely what drives many of them to drink.

>>21531074
I don't get hallucinations but when I try to sleep it feels like my breathing and heart slow down to the point am scared I might die in my sleep...I also mastrubate a lot for no reason other than to keep my heart rate up,this can't be normal right?

>>21531419
On the flipside, thinking you're out of booze and then discovering a fresh bottle in the freezer/bag/etc that you forgot about it such a delightful feeling

>>21529947 (OP)
>titos
you're better without that corn juice

>>21529951
>Bacardi
Unironically the worst rum you can buy. Do better.

>>21531512
I also get incredibly horny when hung over/half drunk from the day before. Dunno what it is but I need to cum like 6 times.

>>21530140
May as well just send it. What do you have to lose anyways.

>>21530445
Hey kid, and I say kid as you can't be over the age of 25, but once you get a little older and life starts to wear down your body, your hangovers get worse with less alcohol. I know it sounds crazy but you'll get to the point one day where drinking 2-3 beers will be enough to ruin your next day. At that point, most well adjusted adults find other things to do besides drink unless it's a celebration or a significant moment worthy of a drink or two. The immature loser thing to do when you're older is use drugs and alcohol to mask your issue as opposed to dealing with them head on and working through them, you don't want to be that. It's not so much about unable to keep it moderate for most adults but a matter of not wanting to deal with feeling like shit the next few days after. You'll get there one day kid, but for now, sit back and learn to listen a bit.

>>21531716
Same lmao

>>21531716
Damn, I feel bad for your kids.

>>21529951
>>21529947 (OP)
Alkies in this thread, why can't you just drink less? I could have this much booze and I'd barely touch it a week.

>>21531074
If you shake from alcohol consumption you are on livers death door.

>>21530436
For added benefits get 15 minutes in direct sunlight in the evening or morning or even high noon if you have pants and long sleeve shirts on. Every day. No excuses.

>>21531716
my theory is that it kind of stunts the swimmers and so you have an impulse to change out the load or make drunken asperger babies

>>21532771
>Why can't alcoholics drink less.
Kind of dumb question isnt it?
Once you are in the cycle its very hard to get out

>>21532774
No, shaking is just the beginning.

Hallucinations, seizures and all that fun stuff is the next step.

Them Hallucinations are really nasty though, if you ever took Hallucinogenics it is nothing compared to it. Alcohol-withdrawal hallucinations are 100% real

>>21533214
I'm still waiting on the hallucinations.

>>21533414
I wish you the best. Out of wonder, may you describe them? Any specific themes? Also what troubles you in your life so much that you need to drink this much? I know everyone has their own story. Might help you to share it..

>>21533756
>may you describe them?
you literal demons will be out to get you, and taunt your imminent death which is closer than you think. They do want to win and they will.
Those are the hallucinations of a family member. The dark shape in the corner, full of dread and despair.

Go get right with God and get prayed over.

>>21531729
>Hangovers get worse with age
This is a cope people who don't take care of themselves tell themselves. My hangovers are the most tolerable they have ever been. If you workout regularly and drink water while drinking and throw down some B-complex before going out drinking then hangovers are super managable. The only thing you can't get around is not getting REM sleep which you can alleviate the next day with a nap.

>>21533198
Society that views addiction as a physical disease rather than a mental one of which the correct cure for is willpower and self control. Both things which are not acknowledged or seen as attainable in modern society.

>>21533793
It's both. You can literally die from delirium tremens.

>>21533784
>This is a cope people who don't take care of themselves tell themselves.
nope. i'm in the best shape of my life at 35, drink at most twice/week, and hangovers are the worst they've ever been. i need a whole day + sleep to finally shake it. i've drank water while drinking (which is already nothing to me because i already drink a lot of water), those pedialyte things, electrolyte solutions...nothing makes a difference the next day.

>>21533793
No amount of willpower/praying/meditation can stop alcohol withdrawal.

Summer is the worst season. Just fucking sweating and suffering. Then the withdrawals which make you sweat even if it weren't hot. When I drink I get bouts of sweat too.

>>21533804
>hangovers are the worst they've ever been.
interesting. What are you drinking, vodka tonics, wine with sulfites, or something darker? Beer has gluten. Rum has sugar. Anything logical you can pinpoint?
What have you discovered medically speaking? Prediabetic, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver disease, anything discoverable in your blood markers? Have you had terrific and recent checkups?
Is your DNA asian or native populations?
Are you drinking on an empty stomach typically?
Are you around smokers or smoking? How well do you consume antioxidants in your diet or supplements?

>>21533804
I will say I stick to Vodka, Seltzers and clear liquors. Anything thats sugar heavy I stay away from. Bottom self liquors I also stay away from. I dunno what you are drinking but it sounds like you're either mixing liquors, drinking low quality stuff or sugar heavy stuff.

>>21533847
>>21533800
No shit but putting on kiddie gloves when it comes to addiciton and constantly telling people its not your fault gives them an easy guilt free way to always relapse. Rather than swinging people from one extreme to the next we should assign accountability and encourage moderation. If you don't think abstinence education for sex works why the fuck would you think abstaining from alcohol is any different.

>>21534130
No one though "I want to become an addict". Most of the time there is underlying mental conditions. I am pretty sure the amount of people who got addicted to alcohol just because they like alcohol so much is quite few.

>>21530478
Having one drink is like unbuttoning your collar after work it’s a ritual that says glad that shits over now it’s time to relax. Helps divide your day into segments.

>>21534069
>Anything logical you can pinpoint?
i wish there was. i've had nights drinking only vodka, only beer, only wine, only whiskey, mixing any of the above. it just does not matter in my case. trust me, i've tried to isolate it to a particular kind.

>What have you discovered medically speaking? Prediabetic, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver disease, anything discoverable in your blood markers? Have you had terrific and recent checkups?
haven't had a checkup from a PCP in 10 years. probably should, i know it's good practice but at the same time i've been in great health.

>Is your DNA asian or native populations?
nope, typical american white

>Are you drinking on an empty stomach typically?
i'll usually do that to get the party starting, but i've had times where i've eaten then drank a lot shortly after, still doesn't matter. only thing that remotely matters in this context is the amount i've drank. if i get drunk fast but then back off just as quick and go to sleep, almost no hangover in the morning.

>Are you around smokers or smoking?
i smoke only when at concerts and with others, which isn't that common. trust me i know how horrible that shit is for you. haven't smoked a cigarette sober in like 15 years.

How well do you consume antioxidants in your diet or supplements?
don't drink tea/coffee anymore sadly, i'll have daily supps of vit D (B when hungover), fish oil, NAC, multivitamin once/week.
