List your top NEGATIVES concerning ALCOHOL consumption

[HarryCaray]

I will say that being shit faced and losing a huge bet absolutely sucks. You feel it when you lose, then you have to deal with it again when you sober up.

That is the absolute worst feeling in the world bar none. A few years back I used to play online poker, and when I came home from the bar, invariably I would try to play at a limit beyond my means. Sober I would play $1/2 limit hold'em, then I would come home bombed and be playing $10/20 before I knew it, blowing $500 or more in a night. Waking up the next day and coming to terms with what I did was a nightmare :nohead:

My negatives, in order from worst to least harmful, are as follows...
1. The possibility of long-term health effects.
2. Always feeling like shit, both physically and in terms of self-esteem.
3. Fighting with loved ones, i.e. domestic problems.
4. The feeling that I have not lived up to my potential, physically, emotionally, in my education and in my career because of excessive drinking.
5. Getting fat.
6. Spending ridiculous amounts of money on booze.
7. Making me lazy and complacent.
8. Missing work.
9. Not knowing who are your friends and who are your drinking buddies and not being able to distinguish between them.
10. Excessive gas :missingte
11. Going weeks at a time without shitting solid.
12. Having no appetite.
13. Spending too much time on it.
14. Not pursuing hobbies or interests because of #13 and #6.
15. Having a dirty house (if you are a drunk you will understand this one).

I could probably keep going here...
I don't drive drunk or make stupid decisions while drunk anymore (used to do both when I was younger), so legal repercussions are not a factor to me.
:monsters- Damn I need to quit drinking :missingte

I havent had a drink in a week as of the end of today. That's usually my breaking point before I fall off the wagon again. We'll see.

So, how long did you make it Rob and was she really ugly?uppy:

It turns girls into beer sluts and makes assholes out of your friends. At UCONN, the only thing people do is party/drink and it drives me crazy. It's such a juvenile activity and arrests normal development. I was once young and stupid and I was allured by the whole party scene but I got bored of it after the 3rd time.

short term: blacking out, going to sleep, and waking up, having pissed yourself and puked on yourself in your sleep

long term: heath damage, spending a shit ton of money on booze

I'm 37 now and when I was college, I partied pretty hard. I mean ass-up drunk 4-6 times a week.

Now, I rarely drink. I've only been drunk one time this year, and that was when I was on vacation. I never crossed over the line from social drinker to someone who was dependant on it, so it was easy to slow down and eventually to virtually quit. Oh, and the two DUIs helped a lot.

I hate being around drunk people when I'm sober. How alcohol changes you, most often for the worst was one of the catalysts for quitting. Another was I didn't like the fact that I was no longer in control of myself, which is probably the main reason I never really got into drugs.

I would often blackout after drinking, and have to get re-caps from my buddies on how much fun I was having. Sometimes I would lose 6-8 hours at a time.

Also, I got notoriously bad hangovers, some that lasted over 48 hours. In college I would just start drinking again, but that became less practical when I had to go to work Monday morning sick hung over from Saturday night.

My worst habit when really drunk is wandering...my friends call me rain man.

I have a friend that sleepwalks when he is drunk. We were at a hotel one night and I woke up to him peeing in the window....I yelled at him but he just smiled, flicked, and climbed right back into bed. Two hours later I woke him up and had him stand near the window in his bare feet. He asked why the floor was wet...I told him I spilled some water.

Sophomore year I started drinking and partying a lot after the death of a friend. Have only had one hangover and only threw up once (when I drank half a bottle of vodka and 5 shots of Jager with only two double cheeseburgers in my stomach). However, getting let off of DUI's in Georgia and North Carolina has recently changed my thoughts on drinking......as well as gaining 83 lbs since i graduated high school (I used to be a damn good runner and soccer player) and getting a physical two weeks ago and finding that my triglycerides were triple what they should be. Sure it helps you get slutty girls, but damn the after effects are too much. I have only gotten trashed once in the past two months (last weekend in Pittsburgh when there was an open bar at my cousin's wedding) and have felt more alive and better as such. I would say to everyone to just cut down some on drinking, don't drink every night and limit your alcohol.
