How Often Do You Drink Alcohol?

[Celerity]

What it says on the tin - how frequently do you imbibe?

Bonus - pick your poison.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Not very often these days. Ever since I got really fucked up around 4 years ago I only drink when I'm with my friends and even then that happens really infrequently because I kinda dislike the taste and find it hard to hide.

 

[Carrotcake]

Rarely. I feel just as miserable but with an additional headache.

I guess I only drink on social occasions but I never have social occasions so

I don't drink, i just oversleep/distract myself.

 

[Lost Magic]

I used to drink a lot (especially after my mother and uncle died) but now it is sometimes once a month. I just can't do those hangovers anymore. Depressed enough.

 

[Sensei]

I rarely drink nowadays. I have a drink with my best buddy maybe once a month.

 

[BlankUser]

About 4-5 times a week

 

[JustAMatterOfTime]

Never anymore. It is a lot of fun though and I miss it, sad to drink alone no fun end up going berserk… I will save it for ctb day, lightweight anyway and will be much more fun after not drinking for so long I bet. I could get some now but I would get in trouble.

 

[saltshaker]

Every single day, i feel fucked without it

 

[Asingletwig]

I used to go through a litre bottle of jameson a week with cans of bulmers filling in the gaps but I stopped fr a while and tried to fix myself but it just wasnt meant to be so I relapsed. I have been drinking pink gin and orange soda simply because it tastes like a calippo ice pop and I dont get bad hangovers

It's not about the taste. It's about the effect!

And still you can also add some sweet drinks like juice or coke into some alcohol. For instance I love vodka, white rum and tequilla with juice.

 

[Fehler]

Almost every day, but since I already smoke a lot I try not to drink too much. Nor is it that I have a tolerance for strong drinks; Cider is the "strongest" thing I drink even though I drink more radlers (I don't even like beer). 2 years ago I did not drink at all but when I discovered Swedish cider things changed x). I don't really know why I "control" myself with it if I'm already finished

 

[DeadButDreaming]

Daily, but that's going to change.

 

[LooksAtMoonDog]

I'm in my 60s, when I was 20-30s I'd get blazing drunk every 2-3 months but didn't drink much otherwise, early 50s I got into the habit of drinking a couple brandy's every day but never really got drunk, these days I'll drink a 6pack over the weekend to take the edge off.

I can still taste it even when it's mixed with most things also I'm fat so I don't even get drunk as easily.

I'll still do it when I'm out with friends and don't have to worry about driving but I really wish I hadn't done any before turning 25 because I somehow became even more shit at video games than I already was due to consuming a lot in my early 20s.

 

[motel rooms]

I don't drink, booze just makes me sleepy. I have Xanax for that. Both of my "parents" were alcoholics. He probably drank because intoxication made it easier for him to molest me & she did it so she could pretend nothing was wrong

I have 55 kg and I don't usually eat too much, so I have pretty small alcohol tolerance.

Yeah, having a driving licence sometimes really sucks, because my mum always drinks when we are on some event, so I always have to be sober and drive.

 

[nolongerhuman]

It wasn't very often until the last month or so, now it's just about every day. I just feel better while intoxicated.

 

[FuneralCry]

I never drink alcohol. When I became of legal age in my country I smelt some and I physically couldn't bear it. I think I'm probably the only one. I guess I have a very weak stomach. I know it messes people up drinking alcohol, but it isn't fun being in a permanent state of anhedonia.

 

[WornOutLife]

I used to drink booze everyday and only ended up more depressed and broke.
Now, I only drink once a week (Saturdays) and it feels awesome because it's my lovely reward + some junk food. However, hangovers can be really tough and suicidal.

 

[ImpairedLowlife]

I tried some alcohol in my life, but never drank since it. I'm only planning to drink some before hanging myself because maybe it can help fight the SI

Tbh, booze may not help. When I suffered extreme anhedonia, I only drank so that it would stack with the sedatives I was on and knock me the fuck out.

If you don't enjoy alcohol, I'm not sure how much it would help unless you get hammered. Knock back some Bacardi 151 sometime and see if you can handle it before making the attempt.

 

[poisonedminds]

I only drink socially.

 

[Makko]

With anhedonia alcohol just makes you dizzy but doesn't bring any pleasure or distraction. No point. It's useful to grease the social gears though. Moreover, overtly rejecting alcohol is often socially inadequate. You'd better know your wines if you want to be taken seriously in some circles.

I noticed that there are two kinds of people: those who drink but pretend they don't, and those who don't drink but pretend they do. It's strange to see the large discrepancy between how people describe their own drinking habits and observing how they actually practice them.

 

[Lmd]

I rarely drink. I like wine but I don't know which one are the bests.

 

[Meditation guide]

Lately about once a week, to relax.

 

[avoid_slow_death]

Rarely. But that is starting to change.

 

[UseItOrLoseIt]

I started to drink every day. This is new to me. 35 years old, and I never drank before (only on social occassions). Part of it is not giving a shit about anything anymore, a pinch of self-destructive, masochistic tendencies. The other part is the pressure of a new environment. New job, new people, my anxiety soared to new hights. I don't drink much, only a couple of shots a day, but sneaking into the bathroom and carrying around miniature bottles of vodka is a whole new experience for me.

 

[LostSoul1609]

I drink often and I'd probably do it more if there were more places were it's normal to drink alone in my city, but they tend to get crowded at night and I don't like drinking with other people around.
I drink pretty much anything unless it's tequila or gin but more often just cheap wine and beer.

 

[narval]

2/3 days at week I go to market, buy 2 beer cans and i drink somewhere outside home, where I can sit. Its enough to go high, but not too much to make it obvious... unless i know that no one will be in home. In that case, 4 beers and let's go like in a dream.

From time to time, i take various shots of something stronger at home. Whiskey, ron and anis. I'm at a point where i could drink a whole bottle of them... If i would live alone. Now i can't as i don't live alone and I have to mask.
