Why did he do it?

Alcoholism is pathetic

Sobriety is pathetic.

>>212351278
It is the complete opposite of pathetic and I say that as an alcoholic who is drunk right now. It doesn't take anything to be a drunk.

>>212351349
Most people who are totally sober only do it out of fear.

my posts improve dramatically around 4-6 beers in, then it's all downhill from there

He went too deep and couldn’t see a way out for himself. He fully embraced his own self-destruction instead of trying to fight it.

Most people who don't step off a cliff do so out of fear

>no scene where he has chronic beer shits
>no scene where he wanks up frantically checking his crotch to make sure he didn't piss himself
>no scene where he eats 13 cans of sardines after getting blackout drunk
>no scene where he accidentally sends dick pics to his aunt then tries to play it off as intentional thinking if he seduces her she'll keep quiet but ultimately ruins his family
Shit movie.

Goes for almost everything in life.

imagine never being introduced to alcohol like some zoomers. They'll never know that buzz. They'll never experience that high. That feeling blissful cathartic release.

>>212351621
Too real, I wish a good buzz was maintainable.

>>212351882
How do you accidentally send dick pics to your aunt? It doesn't seem possible if you ask me.

nightcore anon please if youre here i need you

Alcoholism is poetic.

Not an alcoholic just a binge drinker every friday after a week long shitheep crapsludge week at the worst job in the world. I miss /druk/ threads that hit bump limit in 10 minutes because it felt like it was all worth it. Anyway. CHEERS.

I've ruined my stomach with alcohol. It hurts so fucking bad.

>>212351592
Anyone who becomes an alcoholic does so out of fear, and takes a far more cowardly way out than someone who forces themselves to stop.

>>212352240
i did that and then got into probiotics. I still have IBS but it's not as bad. It's fine actually.

>>212352144
There is nothing artistic, tragic or moving about you pussying out of life. If you want to die do it quickly.

>>212352364
I bet you're a drinker yourself and just lucked into some programming gig 10 years ago and think you're got it good. Don't lose your humanity kid.

>>212352394
I'm 18 months sober and I have endless empathy for alcoholics, just not self mythologising ones. You have humanity, sure. You willingly destroy it bit by bit every day.

>>>/b/
pathetic sumbitches

>>212352528
See, I knew there was some empathy deep inside there. You still visit these threads because you miss that huge dopamine blast. Don't vilify drinkers because you cannot fully move on from it

>>212351085 (OP)
It's never stated in the movie but it is implied his wife left him and took his kid(s); or one died. Then his friends turned their back on him and he didn't have a job.

>>212352240
I have been drinking on empty stomach and barely eating for fucking years and I still take shits where I don't even have to wipe and can feel like I absolutely emptied my bowels..It could also be my diet tho and I do drink a lot of coffee

>>212352880
Good genes. Plus you're not overworking your stomach with nutrients and complex carbs. Just booze.

>>212352679
In the book it is implicitly stated that his wife left him cause of the drinking and that he’s fired from his job because of his drinking. I don’t remember there ever being mention of kids. He’s an alcoholic to begin with, he just goes off the deep end when he realizes he has nothing left to lose.

>>212352528
>I'm 18 months sober and I can't shut the fuck up about it ever and as the equivalent of a little pissbaby retard in the sobriety community let me tell you that...
nigga shut the fuck up. There is nothing more annoying on earth than someone who ruined their own life multiple times with a drug telling other people about how the figured out to stop doing it after the third arrest.

Coffee protects the liver, to a certain degree. Obviously if you're pounding a shoulder a day on an empty stomach it won't do much.
