Ok, I know that you have expressed your glad to have quit drinking. Great job, even being told I would die couldn't get me sober.
However, Olde English 800? OK, King Cobra ain't bad, but it is strong as ice beer. Hurricane not bad; but not strong enough either. Blue Bull ice, now that is good( for a 40) strong and cheap.
There are websites, I am not joking, for malt liquor or 40's connisuers.

There are a bunch of regional ones, I will never have the chance to enjoy.
The best tasting 40 of malt liquor is, try not to laugh, Colt 45. However it is like
an ice cream cone; in that you better consume it before it gets warm. It is, I believe 5.9% alcohol by volume. Not bad ice cold but if it starts approaching room temperature, it is Nasty. OE, nasty.
I am so glad I can't drink, allergic now, because I would have drank myself to death, especially after getting an oxycodone script, a morphine script, and best of all (worst now) an Ativan script.
But thanks to Bluelight and my good an knowledgeable doctor( He didn't put me on benzos) I got off morphine and cut my benzo intake by half. 1mg Ativan( lorazepam)= 10mg Valium( diazepam) 2mg x3 times a day of Ativan. 6mg = 60mg of Valium. Now to stop the last 30mg of Valium I switched too. Too many years on benzos, but never any problems.
I think a lot of my cheap beer knowledge and ability to drink any alcohol( ethanol)
Is from being broke for so many years, and other than nicotine, alcohol is my drug of choice.
I used to go to the Dollar Tree( store), and when I was really low on cash, buy 2 or 3, 1/2 liters of generic Listerine. 35% ethanol= 70 proof. $2.12 ain't bad for a liter of 70 proof. But I was so bad off, I needed something to fight off the withdrawals, which happened to get worse and worse.
Anyways sorry to be so long winded, but I really pray and hope things will get better for you and that you can stay off the hooch.( hey I am older than you, I love old timey slang.) I still am in shock over the manual labor, not being covered to get you physical rehab. That is some messed up shit. Hopefully, you can get physically therapy, and not have this ruin your life. Best of luck.
