Nowadays I really only drink alcohol for 2 reasons: 1) i'm with someone, over at their house or at a restaurant or whatever, and they'll ask me if I want a drink and I'll say yes, just because they're paying for it. In those situations I'll usually have 1 drink or maybe 2 drinks. Or 2) I have a bizarre desire to socialize with random people, so I'll go to the bar and usually that's when I get drunk, I'll usually have around 10 drinks or so. I only get that urge once in a great while though, my hangovers are long & intense and I'm just not that big into the effects of booze, honestly...it makes me have really dark thoughts about myself and other people (although I'm not one of those annoying "depressive drunks", I usually keep it to myself)
I never buy alcohol to keep in my home
My foot thing got bad enough that I consulted a doctor at a walk-in clinic about it. He said I did have some cold weather related damage, mostly mild dermatitis though, except for my right foot which may have experienced some "mild" frostbite. No sores though and decent coloration, just supposed to take naproxen and avoid too much exposure to cold weather. He did notice that my heartbeat was abnormally fast though and asked why...I told him that I have anxiety and stress related diagnoses (which is true) and was promptly scripted Xanax and Effexor. 8) Drs. loving throwing psychotropic drugs at me for some reason.
