Im over 21 and have noticed no one my age really drinks beer or wine anymore. I still do, heavily, and was wondering if anyone else has continued drinking copious amounts of alcohol like Pacifico or 151 rum with pineapple juice, malibu, and caribou or vodka.
Good for you, I'd love to drink wine, a wino wannabe. Alcohol solves "reality" problems: it's a whole different world out there for a drinker, a world of "alcohol is good", the ultimate relaxant (and cigarettes relaxants too). Alcohol ingredients are my favourite: I want to be rich and pour myself a glass of champagne. My pursuit in life is the grape, and to gamble and be in a state of bliss, having pleasure like ancient times, the more primitive the better, and wine is the answer. It's normal for people to love drinking, beyond a pacifying prescription mental health medicine in calm, happiness and sanity, I must warn you not to be an extremist drinker. It's OK to be a drinker or alcoholic if you're at least 18 or 21, but a regular alcoholic only kind of drunk without a smell, to look like a proud lion. I could go right now, if I had the money, for a champagne, and have sources of my exquisite enjoyment of life from the grape. I only have four ambitions in life: "money is everything" (an Indian philosophy), sex, wine, and fine food. Alcohol is a good one, if we didn't enjoy alcohol, then why is it so good to rich people? Adult's only pursuits (alcohol) is something most of us can agree with, if all our friends thought drinking was cool there would be no problem.
It very much depends on *why* you're drinking heavily as to the nature of the problem, but heavy drinking in itself generally indicates a problem.
Moderate and responsible drinking is one thing - but if you yourself believe that you're drinking "copious amounts" then I dare say there's a problem and deep down you know this.
Ask yourself this: Do you drink alone, or do others have a problem with your drinking? And what are the situations where and when you drink? Is your drinking causing you to have arguments with other people? Does it affect your work?
There are plenty of other things to think about in a similar vein, but the bottom line is that you've already described your drinking habits as excessive, which tells me you already believe there is a problem - that means it's probably time to reach out and get some help, maybe through Alcoholics Anonymous, or perhaps your doctor could recommend something.
Ultimately it's your decision whether you destroy yourself in this way, but I beg of you: Don't harm others. If you've been drinking, don't drive. I've been left permanently disabled thanks to drunk drivers, and they went unharmed and oblivious to the irreversible pain they've caused. Do everyone a favour, including yourself, and seek help before it's too late.
This is totally normal man. Me and all my drinking buddies do it all the time.
Some people do, however I am not one of them. Loverofbunnies and are rather clean living people and we would perfer to stay clean.
However, if you choose that route thats fine, just don't take your bad decisions out on others like Tigeronherbed does. Being a heavy drinker is fine though and if that is how you want to spend your free time, then that is your choice. Unfortuantely for you though, a lot of people won't follow you and that could lead to lonelyness.
Just be responsible and actually clean yourself up eventually. Don't be like other liars her and say you can when you can't.
The sanctimonious sermon and slam at Tiger is not appreciated, Budster.
Poster - you might want to think through the copious booze thing, since you my be stuck in behaviour your friends are outgrowing.
If you are clean living people, why do you pee in the shower, while not even taking a shower? And why does your fiance pee in a cup. Why do you keep the skin you have peeled off your feet in a pill bottle beside your computer? Neither of you sound very clean to me. Alcohol or no alcohol!!!
