This is exactly how I think about it too.Terrible idea.
At this point you've consumed 8 beers. I'll give you a couple hours to have done that. I'm going to underestimate and assume the porters aren't a significantly high ABV. I'm also going to assume that you even metabolize alcohol slightly faster than the average sized male. I'm also going to assume you're an average sized male. This means that each drink you have likely adds ~ .022% to your BAC.
Assuming you just finished your last beer, your BAC is actually still rising. You have likely metabolized two drinks, but that still leaves at least four that are already in your system and two make their way. With four, that puts you at a ~.088% BAC. If you wait two hours you'll metabolize...
Dammit, at this point I'm just gonna stop. Too many assumptions here and I'm creeping towards giving you the direct advice that I probably shouldn't. And, you probably wouldn't listen to it anyway. Either way, please don't drive tonight. Seriously.
BTW I'm an above average sized male.Terrible idea.

That's so selfish.This is exactly how I think about it too.
I just got back. I drove drunk again. I bought 2 whoppers and 3 tall fosters. I'm eating one of the burgers and I figure that a lot of calories to absorb the the alcohol.
i won't go out again. It's 3 fosters hell or high water.
No schtick, this is awesome advice for many reasons. First of all you can kill a lot of time browsing profiles, exchanging messages, chatting, etc. so it's great for the boredom. Second, obviously as a single guy you're horny and tapping a lot of strange is very satisfying and good for the self-esteem. Third, it's good to go through a period of racking up a large quantity of poon for several reasons -- to learn about all the types of women out there and which ones you prefer, to fill up your spank bank, and to have no regrets when you do finally settle down. When that time comes, it's an awesome feeling to look back on single life and say "been there, done that" and not feel like you missed out on anything. Ideally, when you get married you should be sick & tired of all the craziness of dating, the letdowns, the insane chicks, etc.My only advice would be to cut down half the time on Xbox and replace it with trolling for women on Tinder. Technology and today's youth having a casual moral attitude has made it easier than ever to get laid. Railing a bunch of random broads won't solve all your problems but it certainly won't add to them. You seem fairly isolated in terms of having relationships with others outside of the interactions you have at work. It might do you a lot of good hanging out with horny women, perhaps you won't cut down on your drinking but at least you would cut down on your drinking alone. Plus you would be tapping a bunch of strange. Tapping a lot of strange can do wonders for one's mood.
And what caliber of woman are you thinking you could attract for a long-term relationship at this point in your life?I don't want to bamg a bunch of tail I just want a special one.
How are we defining this caliber?And what caliber of woman are you thinking you could attract for a long-term relationship at this point in your life?
Being a much above average size guy, 2 whoppers and 6+ talls add up to huge calories. Pro tip: Single burgers,This is exactly how I think about it too.

Looks, intelligence, personality, not an addict, from a somewhat normal family, won't cut your balls off while you sleep, won't bang the Dallas Mavericks. Stuff like that. What are you bringing to the table that would make a quality chick want you as a husband?How are we defining this caliber?

"calories" do not "absorb alcohol". come on man. you've been on this planet 30-odd years. you've got to know this, right?
NOT driving drunk is the easiest thing to do. call a cab. call a friend. walk. and for ####'s sake, there's Uber and Lyft. do they not have these in TX?
sorry if i'm being harsh, but my wife was hit by a drunk driver. she lived (thankfully, and luckily) and he died. turned our lives upside down, and still dealing with the psychological and emotional aftermath years later.
hope you're proud of yourself. hope those three Fosters and BK taste great. enjoy your hangover tomorrow.

An actual what?Great profession as well. I'd have been an actuary if I were smart enough.![]()
appreciate the honesty.I'm never proud of myself I'm just being honest about my actions.
Sure doesn't sound like you think it is. It should be, but you seem bent on self-destruction.Is this rock bottom? Driving 2 blocks drunk and cutting through the Walmart parking lot to get to BK and 7-11?

At least you pretend to be aware of your complete jackassery. Seriously, get help and stop bragging about putting other people's lives in danger.Yeah... I know I'm a piece of crap.
Not happy I am. I spent my whole life trying not to be one. It just happened.
No it didn't. It sounds like your childhood was dog ####. It's not a huge surprise you ended up here.Yeah... I know I'm a piece of crap.

Keep eating those whoopers dude. You'll soon Otis's weight loss threadJust buy one whopper?
Physical/mental dependence is somewhat irrelevant. You've admitted you have a problem, that's the first step. Now go get help. Find an AA meeting near you. Tomorrow.Ive definitely become an alcoholic. I think if I don't stop soon I'll become physically dependent on it within a few months.

You'll end up in the hospital very soon, if you don't get yourself together. I have to take care of at least one a week- just your age, just your attitude. And I have to deal with their sense of entitlement and their inability to take any responsibility for their actions, while they go through DTs, and piss and crap all over themselves.Ive definitely become an alcoholic.

I bet thousands of people in this forum (including me) had less than great childhoods and have overcome it to live productive lives. The difference is I/they they don't say "IT just happened". No Rok, you happened. "it happened" is playing the victim. And reading through the last several pages you think the train wreck is actually funny. Purposely driving drunk twice while commenting whether you should have 2 more? WTF? Just stay away from my daughters and car lane and we're good. And please don't get assigned to my table either.No it didn't. It sounds like your childhood was dog ####. It's not a huge surprise you ended up here.
You've got two options and it really is this simple. Wallow in it and flush your life down the toilet or put the beer down, look yourself in the mirror, grab your bollocks, and change your lot in life. This isn't just platitudes. Bad habits and patterns are extremely difficult to break, BELIEVE me, I know. But you have to ####ing grow up. It's literally the only way to get the things you claim to want.

sure whatever. lolIm not comfortable with this kind of power over your life.
But, most hospital rooms now have cable or DirecTV, which is nice.You'll end up in the hospital very soon, if you don't get yourself together.

And once it happens, you can count on it happening, again and again, with ever increasing frequency, until eventually, organ failure, and then, death. Alone. In a hospital bed. With no one to visit them. And the only person available to show them any human compassion, would rather avoid them because they're a manipulative turd who expects people are just going to forgive all their faults and inexcusable behavior because they're so powerless now.
thats where you're headed. It's harsh, but I'll just about guarantee it, if you don't pull your head out. Choice is yours.
I didn't know if it's cool to show up plastered.He's in a major US city I'm sure he could find one tonight if he really wanted to.
Certainly not in my current state. But I think it's ok if you are behaving yourself.I didn't know if it's cool to show up plastered.
I doubt he's really anything he says he is tbh.I didn't know if it's cool to show up plastered.
Finish your beers or throw them away. Drink a bunch of water and go to bed. Find a local AA meeting the minute you wake up tomorrow and go to the first one nearby. Then report back here.I guess this is rock bottom. I don't even like myself right now.
I would go deeper but I don't know what is my real feelings and what is the alcohol. I just know this ain't right.
Then stop responding like this is real if you don't believe it.I doubt he's really anything he says he is tbh.
You need it. There's nothing fun about sobriety at first. It's all about the long haul.I've gone to AA before. I had to go to 21 days of it to avoid homelessness after my marriage imploded and I hit the pipe hard.
3-5 times a day. I hated it.
