Tolerance go brr
Plus most people drink with friends and "lose inhibitions" and blame it on alcohol

>>81836822
i wish i had ppl to drink with

The discomfort of having to deal with my own neurotic brain is greater than the discomfort of a hangover. The peace alcohol brings is still unmatched for me.

>>81836803 (OP)
Well if you kept drinking and didn't stop then you wouldn't feel sick but you'd also be an alcoholic.

i guess i understand id do that to if i was a peaceful drunk
all i ever do when drunk is puke and cry tho i guess it makes me more emotional
>>81836831
i think id feel sicker

I think genetics definitely plays a part in this. I used to be a really heavy drinker and I would never get hangovers. My dad's the same way.

>>81836803 (OP)
I dont understand how people can drink alone. Its just depressing.

>how people can drink alone
Because I'm always alone, anon. So I can either be sober alone or drunk alone. I know which one I prefer.

I go through more than 1L of liquor or like ~30 cans of beer in like 2 days. I'm happy when I'm drunk, some kind of high, or both.

i drink every other day because now it's legal for convenience stores to sell alcohol, so it's just 5 minutes away instead of being an hour trip. fuck the government for making me this way.

>>81836803 (OP)
well there's getting drunk and there's getting hammered, sounds like you went for the second option

>>81836803 (OP)
For me, it was realizing that getting drunk is the only way I can actually feel myself and my emotions. Otherwise I am just completely numb to even rage and anger. It also just became more fun to be drunk than to just keep trudging through my dull life.

>i think id feel sicker
Only once you've stopped

>>81836803 (OP)
At times it was the only way I could cry anymore when I really needed to cry. Other times I needed to not think about people, because thinking about them caused so much suffering I couldn't function. I quit the bottle and made peace with sleeping to not suffer.

It's literally a gene that mediates whether you're a happy drunk or a nauseous miserable drunk, it has to do with dopamine release, andrew huberman talked about it on JRE.

I just got used to the hangover symptoms. I also figured out that if I drink a load of water after the alcohol before going to sleep, I feel almost normal when I wake up.

Same, but I can't just drink every day and expect to live a long and healthy life. I had periods when I drunk a case of beer a night for 1-2months but now I've been sober for 4 weeks and I'm not too bothered by it. My goal is to stop drinking on my own at home (holidays excepted) and only drink socially. And since I only have two friends and we don't go out too often, one drink every 2-4weeks is achievable. I've mostly drunken beer and I feel like I haven't damaged myself yet, but I'd like to keep it that way.
Still, my grandpa has been a semi-drunkard for all of his life and he's doing fine at 82. My dad has been roughly the same too and he's still slim with a full head of hair in his mid-late 50s. I have some pretty strong eastern Euro drunkard genes in me.

when I was in highschool I used to drink vodka every morning before school and go drunk so I don't give a fuck about the tests, teachers and whatever else pissed me off
I stopped because I have no money and no job so...

wahahah i can drink you all under the table

I spent like 2 and a half years being a full blown drunkard. Drank every night and my drink of choice was vodka. I've started slowing down mostly because of money but also because I understand this can't last forever. I think my breaking point was when I woke up in the middle of my hallway with no memory of last night and I somehow drank a full liter in one night.

>>81837480
I'd take that challenge

On one hand I can't imagine drinking vodka almost every day for 2+ years, but on the other hand, I kinda want it. I fondly remember those 2 months of beer every day. Just not giving a damn about anything and just drinking 5-6litres of beer a night, playing vidya, fapping, sleeping till 3-4pm and eating junk food. I'd get very drunk but not shitfaced "I don't remember anything" drunk. And I went on nightwalks smoking cigs, listening to music and seeing the wagies waiting for the bus in the cold snow at 6am. Meanwhile I was going to buy more beer. Good times. Now I'm one of those wagies, but at least I got my degree after that drunken phase and I do kinda well now. But I just want to go back and live like that again at some point in my life.

You felt better for a while though, right? You could have that at any time. Eventually if you cross over the line and start to drink alone, you will. And you don't ever need to stop.

>>81836887
One my favorite things to do alone is get drunk and play PS2 on a shitty 14" CRT
I'm probably autistic though
