Alcoholic vs problem drinker

[ksupamplemousse]

Don't buy a 30 pack buy 6 or 12.

Yeah. Just buy a 6 pack of good beer. Drink it all and you will reach an ideal level without blacking out and making an ass out of yourself. Just have fun until the fridge is done.

This sounds like a good idea. I'll give it a whirl.

[slobber]

I think a lot of this depends on how old you are and if you are married and have a family. Also, what are the settings in which you get wasted on a somewhat regular interval of 2 weeks?

29, married, no kids, usually at somebody's house/backyard/Waldo/Aggieville.

If your wife gets pissed at you about this every time, then you probably have a problem. But, I don't think you have a problem, because I don't recall you ever posting about hating your wife becasue she doesn't like you partying it up from time to time.

She has no problem with me letting loose, I do think she would appreciate it if I stopped blacking out though. Gonna try the six pack idea and see where that takes me. Possibly try water in between beers as well, for whatever reason that strategy has always seemed to defeat the purpose of drinking though.

i like engineering controls like this.

how about you order a whole large pizza for yourself every time you want to start drinking and make sure you have eaten it all by the time you've downed your first 6 pack. then after the next 6 you will be too full to drink the 6 after that

[michigancat]

I would be pretty trashed if I drank a six pack of nice beer.

Blacking out every time at 29 is a big problem and a bad idea.

I'm trying to stop blacking out so often, not become a fat person.

[slobber]

Maybe I am confused, but I din't think he was really blacking out. If you actually black out every time you drink, then you should probably stop for a year or 60.

[CHONGS]

Blacking out is super bad for you.  I have never blacked out (thank goodness), when I get too drunk my body just rejects the alcohol and saves my brain.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Do you get black out drunk just from beer, or are you drinking liquor as well?

[ksupamplemousse]

Well, the past couple years I've had more trouble controlling my intake, so I get pretty slobberknockered pretty much every time I go out. Two out of the last three times I've drank, it's ended in blackout, which hasn't been an issue in the past. It's been mildly concerning, especially at my advanced age of almost thirty.

[slobber]

If you were my IRL friend, I would tell you that you need to cool it for a while. BBS'n aside.

I would be sober as a judge if I drank a six pack of nice beer.

FYPs

[Headinjun]

Guys,

I drink like the first poster. I never really black out, I just usually realize its 6 am and I should probably lay down. Occasionally I do blackout.

My MO is headphones. I'll wrap up the social setting by putting on headphones and slipping myself away into the beats of every genre imaginable.  This coincides with drinking a very unhealthy amount of beer.


I'd rather smoke weed, because i know that makes me tired and I pass out sooner. Healthier for the liver too.

Just drink to have fun. If it's not fun anymore change something up.

[The Big Train]

I have blacked out exactly 1 time in my life, on my 21st bday.  The last thing I remember doing was spinning the shot wheel thing at fats, no idea when I left, how I got home, or if I even paid for anything.

[Mr Bread]

I think most people do not want to hang out with someone who blacks out everytime they drink.

If they liked the person, they would have them slow down before they got blackout drunk. I think the goEMAW community cares more about this guy than his friends.

I do not want to babysit my adult friend.  How sad for them.

There is definitely a sub-sect of my friends that are enablers, and don't want to try and curb anyone else's behavior lest someone try and curb theirs. I should have a plan to limit my consumption when I'm around them. Not really sure how I haven't realized this before, but it's very clear at this point.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Are you taking shots then blacking out or are you just drinking like 20 beers or something?
