Every Where U nEver Been
I used to drink quite a bit but a few months ago i just stopped n i can't even imagine me drinking booze EVER .

Can't even stand the smell .

So any1 else ?
 
Drank like a fish as a student, all but packed up for 20 years after that, got better drugs, then started on Westons a few years ago, recent little difficulties mean I should not be drinking now...had two (Westons) in the last few weeks. I haven't drunk to get drunk since I was a student and was quite virulently anti-alcohol when I didn't drink for 20 years but I tend to think now life is short and I'm not cutting out a little pleasure to gain an extra five minutes in a wheelchair.

Can't stand drunks, never have, never will.

Sorry, what was the question?
 
Aye, you really should see some of my shits.

It wasn't a question, and I don't need to thanks. When I was 18 I worked on a psycho-geriatric ward. Met a really nice old geezer, in his sixties, used to be a hard as fuck shipyard worker on the Clyde. Now he was a rancid disease ridden Parkinsons sufferer with Pre-senile dementia and a failing liver, bumped into things a lot and shit himself regularly.

Ex-alcoholic. I probably owe him one. But then he'll be dead by now aye.
 
Well... let me ask you a question. Would you be drinking if you got cut off yer benzo script? (I know this is highly unlikely, given your past posts)

I would say probably... and yes I drink scary amounts.

Do I see a close future of no drinking? No, I'm drinking as we speak.

May I ask you another question? Yes? Ok... do you smoke cigarettes, Brimz?

WTF has that got to do with owt i used to do both .

Yes i smoke
 
Used to get drunk about 3/4 times a week, but at some point a bit of psychedelic/weed usage weaned me off the stuff and I probably have about a pint of ale a month now. Not really sure how that happened because looking back I was pretty addicted to the stuff. (Not in an AA kind of way, just a regular British person kind of way..)

I would give up totally, but I really like the taste of red wine and real ale. If I could buy it non-alcoholic and still tasty, I would.
 
Grew up disliking alcohol as a kid, I took more to drugs at first. Discovered ale (mostly the belgian stuf) at age 17 and started off drinking one or two strong ales per night. Worked parttime in a specialist ale store for a few yrs during my studies. truly enjoyed the stuff and got a lot out of it for a few semi-responsible years. Grew up some more and fukt up (who didnt) and then I quit the drinkaltogether. Haven't touched it for 13 months now. But still get floods of ill thoughts like I hope something terminally horrible happens to me so that I have a reason to start drinking hard again
 
Ffs brimz what is it with you and embedded youtube gangsta rap links.

I rarely touch alcohol also






;)
 
I used to drink tea all the time growing up, it was a family thing. Now I only really drink tea if I'm round someone's house and offered it, or if I have guests and offering seems like the polite thing to do. I rarely buy milk if I'm on my own since I lost my sense of smell since I can't tell if it's gone off or not, and I'm not a fan of black tea. I like a strong black coffee now and again for that caffeine hit though.

I'm also now practically teetotal since I had the colectomy because I get dehydrated really easily, so I can't have more than a couple of drinks without feeling like shit the next day. I still enjoy a small amount of booze occasionally but don't miss the after-effects of getting absolutely hammered like in my uni days one bit :)
 
im turning that way brimz, ive only had 1 can of beer in the last few weeks. But im not quitting it, just waiting for my next invite out. I suppose i could make the first move and initiate something, but i wanna get off bupe first.

I used to love drinking several cans of Fosters at home when odt was on the scene, that was such a great combo. I used to drink at home before i got back into drugs. But benzos suit me far better than alcohol, and totally remove any desire for having a drink on my own at home.

One of my colleagues where i used to work is a lovely bloke but is stricken with alcoholism. The poor bastard had a stroke on the day of his 40th birthday a couple of weeks ago. That guy is the unluckiest person regarding his physical and mental health that i have ever known.

It's like i have just grown out of it . Also many of my fellow Heroin users are fuked up big time cos they switched from Gear to booze it's made them into fukin idiots .

Honestly they were more coherent & better behaved on the smack
 
I can well believe it, depending on the amounts you take opiates can energise and clarify things, where drink just makes me drowsy and needing a piss too often sos i get dehydrated. Im not one of these OCD people that can force 2 pints off water down them after a drinking session and then wake up the next day all fine and dandy. A heavy alcohol session wipes me out for at least 1 day (after the event)
 
Was a "functioning" alcoholic for 10 years.......then lost it big time 15 cans of special brew a day after a couple of years ended up pissing shitting and puking blood did a home detox and haven't touched a drop for nearly three years.....I miss it,,
