Drinking? Do i need help?

Yeah basically drink until i'm drunk and sleepy.
Don't really want to give it up though as most of my socialising involves drinking with friends/on dates

As long as your still eating and not fading away then not that bad imo

Also what % are the beers ?

Beer van protect you from heart disease but maybe not 14 pints a night ( 12 bottles maybe )

can *

are you a tenant

Mainly 5% beers. Usually drink san miguel, amstel or peroni.

Not a tenant

Any of your dates mentioned it?

The last date tried to keep up and ended up on the floor

The last date tried to keep up and ended up on the floor Silly


5% better than weaker also imo as you would end up drinking more 4% than 5%

Get on the Brewdog 5.5 6.5% small cans and not as full of junk as some gassed up beers

Also thy have promised to never sell out to the bigger companies so quality should stay FOR NOW

Off to the shop in a bit to get myself 10 cans so will see if they have any Brewdog

Alcoholics Anonymous has a list of 20 questions to help you decide if you are an alky.
My view is that 8 or more Yes answers means you need to seek help, not that I'm an expert on this
My favourite ones are:
4. Is drinking affecting your reputation?
20. Have you ever been in an institution ( e.g. chit chat forum ) on account of drinking?

Ok, I made that last one up.

You have an addiction/habit, call it what you want...because if you can't have night off then you are an addict, simples.

I used to drink heavily every night and would have described myself as a functional alcoholic in a senior position, nobody knew how much I drank as I was never late, never hungover and did a good job. Only thing is it wiped me out for the weekend! Then a just slept..Still drink but a really concerted cut back and not at all during the week. Saves £££s and my liver because like you I'm not immortal 

How old are you prep?

Cheers for all the replies, i'm 33 pal

Get PUNK blue or RED elvis they are strongest

Plenty fruit tastes might help the old 5 a day

Never been rough of them like i am of other beers like Stella headaches

Prepared 8 good beers is better for you than 8 cups of coffee or red bulls

Cheers prep. I reckon heavy drinking is a younger blokes game.Try and get it out of your system before your forties for the sake of your health.

A beer a day helps prevent stroke and heart disease, new study suggests


Red Bull gives you.... increased risk of heart disease, say scientists

Never been a coffee or red bull man. I'll quite happily drink tea or squash throughout the day.
Yeah im still relatively young with no misses and no kids(been dodging bullets for years)
so not mush else to do other than drink and gamble when not at work

When ive been the doctors lately they never mention drink ( a lot of doctors will drink wine daily )

They asked me if i touch energy drink and i said no which is true

Energy drinks full of caffeine at least with beer you get sleep

Vodka nad orange prepared you know whats good for you

and*

Three hammers cider an aquired taste for the discerning gentleman.

They still making Three hams ?

Old sunday morning treat from the local Pakistani that or frosty jacks ( only person who would serve drink early )

Heavy drinking makes diabetes even more likely.
Gout is something else that's on the increase and can be precipitated by drinking.
Even cancer is more likely for heavy drinkers.

Breathing in car fumes can cause lung cancer

You will have prep walking to the shops like this

anyone supporting villa needs help

If you drink that amount each night there's a good chance that you would be over the drink drive limit, especially if you go out early.

Don't drive in the mornings so no problem there. Was texting my dad when in the shop so totally forgot to ask
for brewdog. Being a villa fan is not helping my drinking right now
Not eating as much as i used to either as im usually bloated the next day so not very hungry

You will be bloated with the beers obviously

There is plenty beers out there that dont bloat as much

Even get on the Guinesses

mind you i cant eat anything after 3-4 days so if your every night then be hard to eat

you must be a grafter though if you can make work every day after drinking

you will be sweating it out

be good if you where a postman could have a few on the round

It's a fair amount, particularly if it's every night. I would imagine you're developing a (un?)healthy tolerance as well.

You seem to suggest you might be using it as a crutch, which could form the start of a problem. You should probably try and address that rather than the drinking.

I do do manual work so plenty of sweating it out the next day. Would'nt drink during the day chaser.
Dstyle yeah thats something i need to look at but its filling the void/time of having no misses/kids.
G

Im roughly same age as you prep

I drink quite a bit but not every night

When i do its knock out never just for a few

If you can go to work and get home at 33 have 10 beers or so i say that's no problem

In the 90s you would have been an average drinker

Ive seen people guzzle 3-4 cans red bull in an hour to keep them going

OR them say i need a caffeine fi x

You like a few beers they like fully caffeine drinks from Star Bucks and wherever

The speed in which i drink is also very quick.
I do enjoy a beer so i dont want to quit but dont want it getting out of hand though

I'd suggest you make sure you have 2 days a week without alcohol.

On the other 5 days, BrewDog Elvis Juice is the dog bollox.  6.2% though, so it won't keep you sober.

BrewDog Dead Pony club worth a try and only about 3.8%.  You might find you drink less of these cans.

its the volume u need
1pint of beer
next 1 water
repeat

Going to buy a few of these brewdogs tomorrow and see how i get on with them.
Got a mate coming round for a few games of darts and usually gets messy.

Play mind tricks with yourself (the mind being the most powerful tool we have), control your mind, don't let your mind control you, tell yourself, convince yourself, if you touch one more drop for the next week a close relative of yours will dir.

Melodramatic but it will work. You're welcome pisshead, sorry prepared

die not dir

not had one beer tonight since starting this thread even though i went to buy some

There's your answer. Stop drinking and be the new Leopard, start a new thread every couple of minutes.

my uncle who was an alcoholic. said his boss was in trouble, he'd stopped adding water to his daily drinks. You need to set a level. then very slowly dial it back over months.
As a non drinker with family who were heavy drinkers I've seen it go crazy wrong when they stop dead. Softly softly catchy monkey. cold turkey is fine if you want to seize.

Stop!

Comedy Gold this.  What next? am I taking too much Heroin, tips on where to inject.

If you can drink 14 pints of it your only worry is getting the Bends.

True, Baron.

Forgot to say that Tesco is the best place at the moment for BrewDog.  4 cans for a fiver.

you are sods,the man needs help not encouragement

More importantly, what happened with the splitting with the ex?

and how come you were dating again within 2 months ...

Yeah, what took you so long?

Did you get any elvis juice ?

6.5% Hacksaw not 6.2% we got to keep the guy right or he may mess up on units

units a can 1.8 average 11 units a night.
1.8x11x7 = 138 units a week. What could possibly go wrong!
If only George Best was still on the forum, he would tell us.
What happened to him anyway?

The Chaser mentioned 'get on the Guinness'....
First time I worked in Dublin, drank about 5 pints of the stuff each night for the first week, found it was feeding me as well and cut my appetite for food to zero!
Switched to Harp lager (brewed by Guinness) and got my appetite back in a couple of days.

vodka and scotch eggs - suicide bid.

Heart or Toilet pan

Diagoe bought all the guiness and harps watch out they dont care about quality now

Marketing[edit]
For many years the slogan "Harp stays sharp" was used in advertisements. It was written by the advertising executive Rod Allen.[9] Recently it has used the slogan "Look on the Harp side".

Must have changed a little ingredient

Used to STAY SHARP now just LOOK SHARP

Chaser, I did notice my mistake after, but didn't think anyone would worry about it.

Elvis Juice is the king of all beer.

Just didn't work out with the bird, we lived a fair bit away from each other so that didn't help.
Anyway whats wrong with dating again 2 months later? A mans gotta eat
Still not tried this brewdog, oh and does anyone else have the get drunk and text an ex illness that i seem to have?

Only thing wrong with waiting 2 months is its too long.. You're into bereavement territory there.

It wasnt as long as two months. Infact i set up a tinder account on the train home from hers the final time

Dat a boy!

And people say romance is dead.

Not seen him on here for ages though

He posted on my thread about streaming devices a couple of days ago.

giveing up drink is a sign of weakness

Got a date with a 24 year old on thurs, is that a bit young seeing that i'm 33?
Obviously taking her out for a drink or 9

No problem as far as I can see!

As this is appears to be the BrewDog thread also, I just thought I would report that I happened to be in an Asda yesterday and they had an end of line clearance.

Dead Pony Club £2.50 for 4 cans!  I bought 16 packs.
