with booze you loose

match box · Dec 10, 2012

A week ago we got a call from the cops. They had my wife's sister she was about an hour and a half from where she lives and had parked her can and was sitting on some one's porch when they ask what she was doing she told them she had hit a horse. They called the cops and they got our phone #. My sister-inlaw drinks heavy she is 51 and has wet brain. She will get a little better if she doesn't drink any more. She has been drinking 750ml a day. I don't know how she has been able to work. My point here is you don't get wet brain from weed. If she had been smoking and not drinking she wouldn't have been driving and she would still have her brain. match

I TRY to stay away from alcohol now that I'm getting a little older and if I do decide to drink it's not nearly as much as I used to. All the crazy shit I used to do back in the day when I was drunk it's a miracle I'm not dead or in prison. Hope your sister in law leaves it alone before it's too late.

It's nasty shit for some.
As a cleaner it's great, it can remove wives, kids, jobs, selfworth....
I hope she can get help.

Weed over booze any day for me.

If you can't handle your booze don't drink the shit. Alcohol doesn't ruin lives. People who let booze take control will likely let most any substance take control. It's not the alcohols fault. It's the weak minded.

Don't drink the Kool-aid.

Unless you can handle the kool-aid.

I think that's his point.

Don't do it if you can't handle it. Do it if you can.

That's exactly my point. I drink pretty often and I never miss work or other responsibilities. I'm very involved with my children even tho their mother and I are no longer together. And drinking wasn't the cause of our seperation we just aren't compatible.

The "kool-aid" is thinking you can control it.
Some can, some can't, it's truly sad.

even if you can handle it, its only a matter of time until you cannot when it comes to liquor.

that's not always true imo.. some people have a tendency to become addicted to substances, myself included, and others can drink or smoke or do blow or w/e and never really have a problem with it..

i think a lot of it is genetics as i come from a long line of addicts..

i personally don't drink much anymore.. it leads me to doing harder drugs which i don't really feel like messing with, so i avoid alcohol to avoid the things that it brings into my life..

Omgwtfbbq Indicaman · Dec 10, 2012

i've never blown chunks before, i guess its freakish genetics of my alcoholic ancestors working for me, but i know people who habitually cross that line, its sad. its the difference between 16 shots of Hennessy and 17, gotta know when to stop. the strange thing is, with liqour, the more you drink, the less you remember how much you already drank.

What the hell is "wet brain?"......never heard of it.

I have a number of very good friends who are alcoholics and have watched them grow progressively worse over the years. Most have an addictive personality, with numerous other addictions i.e. gambling/smoking cigarettes and pot/pills and other narcotics/etc. They are not living happy lives and are in denial, no girlfriends, no savings, no homes, no education....you get the picture. I believe alcohol (most started drinking around 13-15 years old) was the beginning of the slide, even way back then.

"What?? I only drink beer I'm not an acholic!!"
"Some people just can't drink like I can with out getting really drunk!!"
"I drink all the time and I work and take care of famlie and buisness."
Those are just a few of the things I've heard or said my self....
Till everyone let my floor drop out from under me,
2 years in prison + 3 years probaition, 12 years and no drinking.

Jimmyjonestoo · Dec 10, 2012

I too have known many addicts and imo most of them were never motivated focused people to begin with. Never had the drive to take control of their own lives and always throwing pity parties. My main point to the op was that its unfair to blame alcohol or any other substance for that matter for the problems some people LET it create.

I cannot spend a weekend evening (sunday and monday evenvings) without drinking a shit ton of beer. Can't do it, so naturally my ma worries that i have a drinking problem, lie on my couch re-watching films getting drunk. But for the other 5 days of the week i have work, and work means responsibilities, i do not drink because i would not be able to fulfill those responsibilities if hungover. If i've had a ridiculously stressful day, i might get in from work at 1-2am and have a glass of whisky or brandy etc, but that's to relax me and get me to sleep knowing i have to be up for anotehr 14/15 hour shift 6 hours from then. I agree with the notion of it not being a demonic substance, not everyone abuses it, loses their job, breaks up with their partner and becomes a bum. Some do, some don't.

I have an addictive personality, I enjoy having a job for more reasons than just the money. It stops me getting bored and removes the option of just getting off my tits. I make it work.

I've known a few people who kicked alcohol and went with mary. They all say they will never go back.

They are a different buzz for me. I'd still rather some of each than plenty of just one.
