Am I an alcoholic?

[fischsemmel]

2 shots of brandy (kinda nasty, a friend's grandma died and had it in her house and apparently my friend thought I would want it, lord knows how old it is) and half a beer at 4:30 in the afternoon, home alone, waiting for server to come back up.

Wtfudge, eh?


I'm also unemployed, and while ...


I must not be an alcoholic or I wouldn't be halfway drunk from 2 shots and half a beer.

Drinking is for losers go some some pot.

[fischsemmel]

Do I just go hang out at the local high school and start asking stoner-looking kids if they've got any? I live in the midwest and have never touched the stuff in my life.

Just drive around and look for thugs to ask haha. Anyway drinking is overrated, smoking pot is 1000x better to loosen up with after work or whatever. People who drink to get fucked up always take shit to far or end up with other drug problems.

[azeth]

I concur pot is fantastic over booze for daily use.

A lot of amateur smokers will attempt the booze 'n smoke on a saturday night maneuver, to find themselves stoned asleep on a couch much earlier than anticipated.

For example, i've worked 13 hours so far today - I will go home, get my workout in, shower, then light a nice joint and be 100% raring to go at 4 am tomorrow.

If i were to go home and drink enough Dewars White Lable scotch to get myhead where it needs to be, I may not be so keen on waking up @ 4 am

Dewars White Lable scotch

Sounds significantly better than my old, dead-lady brandy and year-old, detroit-lion's bud light. Oh well. Somebody had to clean out my liquor cabinet and minifridge, might as well be me!

Makes you wonder why it's still illegal lots of money to be made. A lot more people would buy weed to relax then a 6 pack.

You know what's way better than drinking, or weed? No drinking or drugs, exercising regularly (~5miles a day and strength training few days a week) and the feeling of contentment from working 50-60 hour weeks (not salary so making lots of OT) at a job you don't entirely hate. Compared to when I was a fish and blowing coke and buying weed/shrooms on the reg in college I feel like I would hate myself if I ever did any substance again.

But hey that's just me, toke it up brah!

Alcohol misuse includes "risky/hazardous" and "harmful" drinking that places individuals at risk for future problems. "Risky" or "hazardous" drinking has been defined in the United States as more than 7 drinks per week or more than 3 drinks per occasion for women, and more than 14 drinks per week or more than 4 drinks per occasion for men. "Harmful drinking" describes persons who are currently experiencing physical, social, or psychological harm from alcohol use but do not meet criteria for dependence.

Sounds like your about a drink and a half away.

[HarrisonStillPosting]

nah I'm pretty sure weed is better than no weed.

This man can't afford rent because of his addictions.

Drugs are clearly the way to win at life.

shure

[Crass]

Not an alcoholic, maybe just a little melodramatic.
My doctor said more than 10 drinks a week is alcoholic, which is a bit exaggerated but works out alright, because tbh I don't feel any better or worse between drinking nothing and having two on any given weeknight.

Yea man, because relaxing after a long day with a joint is totally comparable to your coke habit.

You, and likeminded folks, are the reason why weed is looked on negatively. Also, 5 miles a day with strength training apparently is worth mentioning?

In that case, im an avid pot smoker and my M-F routine looks like:

3:30 wake up
3:50 finish cardio routine on my Heavy Bag
3:55 protein shake
4:00 shower
4:20 leave for the T
5:00 arrive @ the building in PO Square in beantown
12:30 Lunch, sometimes Squash with my buddy, other times a salad in the caf
6:30 leave work
7:30 arrive at home
9:00 finish P90X
9:30 dinner/joint

So i guess that boils down to M-F 100 minutes of cardio, 450 minutes of strength training, an eighth of weed, and no hangovers.

what a fucking stoner huh? l2smoke like an adult

Here are how my different habits broke down in college for me:

Alcohol - Good social life, grades suffer a bit, mental health suffered somewhat.
Weed - Declining social life, grades suffered, mental health suffered a lot.
Uppers - Somewhat declining social life, good grades, mental health was off after extended use.
Shrooms/Acid - Mixed social life, mixed grades, mental health weird had to stop was making me hate myself.
Coke - Good social life, oddly best grades ever in college including an A+ on a 20 pg paper, after my 1.5 year use had to stop was going broke and getting depressed.

Clean and Sober - Good job nearing six figure and I am workaholic so I like it, good social life, busy all the time out of work, great mental health.

Just my own personal experience and feelings with drugs and drinking compared to going sober few years back. Obviously everyone differs but I find nothing redeeming about any drugs compared to being clean/sober and active. Just me though like I said, feel free to roll some doobs and relax all you want.

[Kraftwerk]

Also what is the utility behind P90x, what are you training for and what is its intended purpose? I never understood it clearly. I do a push pull 4 day a week routine with three week rotation. And my running is usually a few miles in morning and a few at night with the dog to tire him out since he is still an active puppy. The push/pull i do is from a college sports trainer designed to improve muscle utility. I'm trainging for my third Tough Mudder, I love those mud races. Do you train for a specific goal or just to look good?

So you had a problem with drugs and need to stop to live as a normal person. Some of us can still smoke and not have it effect our daily lives.

Have you done an objective analysis over an extended period comparing your social, financial, physical and mental health while using a substance compared to when you're not using it? If you have and found yourself better off with drugs in your life more power to you, my experience personally and witnessing other people is that is rarely if ever the case.

[azeth]

Also what is the utility behind P90x

just to look good, and i know the routine by heart so it's almost a mobile workout. if im even without dumbbells or a pullup bar i can combine a lot of different sets from the dvds and get a nice HIIT workout

You only live once man and long as your not shootin, snortin or popin it's all good. Also the rate weed is going with all the medical shit and voting for it here and there. It might even be legal in our life time.
