I've gone from being a heavy drinker to not particularly enjoying it in the space of a month.
It's like i've lost that flow that comes with being a content drinker,, the beers don't go down as easily...
I hope it's just a phase..
I've been taking amph recently on weekends and i wonder if that's fucked up my usual routines,, or maybe turning 25's turned me into an old slipper loving geri..

i haven't been drunk in 2+ months and haven't missed it a bit, it's fun as shit for sure, but weed is a much better substitute. at least with weed i can be high all day but still get everything done

I haven't had the urge for a month,, which is strange for me.. It's good we can talk about this though it really helps the problem,, i'll be drunk soon with the help of others,,
It goes to show tho how your mindset can affect the way you do things..

I can hardly drink anything these days. A few sips, maybe a glass of wine if I push it, and then I'm done.

Besides the health benefits i'd be kinda sad to lose that side of me.
It's one thing choosing not to drink,, it's something else not having that thirst/drinking enthusiasm inside you anymore...
It's probably because it's been such a big part of my life,, i'm reluctant to let it go.

I love drinking and will never give it up. I'd be an alcoholic for sure if it wasn't for the killer hangovers i get. Only problem is that i can drink loads before i get sick so i usually end up pretty wasted.

Starting to drink intending to get drunk is just unfortunate (it's just a bad end!). The real fun of drinking comes when you approach a night with alcohol with a critical eye through the entire experience, acknowleging you may just have two beers and read a book. First step is actually truly enjoying what you're drinking so that the entire thing isn't a process with a goal. I humbly recommend excellent beer and homebrewing.
As you get older you'll likely find the urge to get *drunk* will diminish. The habit of having a few after work and letting it go where it will, though, is an excellent one. The shortsightedness alcohol provides is an extension of our natural condition; it's often needed, just give yourself the leisure to recognize when.

Really? I've consciously tried to be alcoholic, as a solution for larger emotional/psychological conflicts. It's never stuck. Waking up and realizing you did nothing with your day is more depressing than anything else.

Man don't say that I turn 25 on tuesday. I still get pretty shit faced on a regular basis, though it definitely takes more of a toll on my body now. Even just a couple years ago no matter how drunk I got the night before I could wake up and be fully functional now I find hangovers are much more prevelant/debiltating after a night of heavy alcohol abuse. I am starting to feel old though a lot of my friends are married and having kids already... I don't see that in my future for quite a while I want to enjoy bachelorhood a little longer.

I can still get drunk. It just is not as enjoyable because instead of a social lubracant it just straight fucks me up all over. This solo whiskey/beer combo aint helping either.

I used to drink 12 beers a night, that was a year and a half ago. I drink about 8 a night now or less..I was drinking vodka mixers a lot too..I am glad I mellowed out. I got to the point that alcohol was making my insides all fucked up, I was having health problems because of my drinking. I just learned to tick with beer and only so many a night. Yes I am an alcoholic, I have been for years...I can go without a beer if i want to..I am sober during the day all the time..
