i can hardly drink alcohol anymore
| like shit. i used to clock out of work at 4, be at my local haunt by 5 to scarf down a meal with a pitcher of beer, then do pitcher after pitcher (around 2.8 pints each) until 2 am with rye/gingers and shots of whiskey or scotch in between. stumble home, sleep, wake up at 7, and do it all again.
oh to be young and invincible...
| or damn, give me the BTC bionic liver, hell yeah
| Same for me. Although I was not drinking everyday like you, I liked to drink maybe one evening each week, mostly with whisky. Did that for 2 years maybe until I slowed down because I started lifting.
Each week became each month, then maybe each 3 months. Nowadays I would like to try it again to remember the old times, shitfacing myself and putting random songs in my headset. But now I feel like drinking became harder to me. Nausea and stuff like that are more present than ever...
| Eh, sad thread. I can understand you. Fortunately, I don't drink every day, in my opinion it's too often. My lifestyle is to wait until the end of the work week, then buy a bunch of beer and sit all evening and night at the computer surrounded by online friends (I'm antisocial) the next day lay with a hangover.
This has been going on for years...5? 6? I don't know. And it seems like I don’t mind quitting, but I don’t see other sources of joy. (No, I won't smoke weed, it's cringe)
| I haven't drank alcohol once in my life and I live in the beer capital of Germany.
Am I missing out?
Is drinking alone worth it?
| Beer - nice deal.

no, drinking alone is just sad and the road to hard and debilitating alcoholism
i absolutely was an alcoholic and still struggle with it but it was mitigated at least by the social aspects of going to bars, talking to people, and with the secondary objective of getting laid. never drink alone or "just to drink".
i think if you're interested, having a beer or two with friends, or at a bar or something, is perfectly safe. or a glass of wine with dinner, that never hurts
| >>984984 hey! I've been drinking alone at the computer for many years. But it’s true that I communicate with people there... the same VRchat or I just stream to 3 viewers... But is this no loneliness? Yes? Yes...?
| Eh...and when I’m sad, on the contrary, I don’t drink. I drink when I'm having fun, to be even more fun.
| Don't care
| get off the hrt and start drinking whiskey or moonshine daily. your body is crying out to you for alcohol and here you are denying it and paying the price. you won't make it another 5 years at this pace.
| i stopped drinking after realizing that the "good times" it gave me were in the past. it feels hollow to drink now
| After eating 1 hot pocket and then drinking, i cannot eat a hot pocket nor drink ever again. Smell alone is bahd...

| this is of course ultimately a good thing but its still a bit of a bummer. i defined a lot of myself around being a barfly early on and years of it have deteriorated my tolerance, and the hrt has further depleted that such that literally 3 drinks can make me ill or give me a hangover
ill miss the vibes more than anything, i think, like just floating around a dimly lit dive as you get tipsy, talking amd joking with people, maybe finding a warm body... but hey, i still have pot !
