Hey /hooch/. Been years (like a decade plus) since I've been on 420 chan. However, y'all seem like the most able to answer a question I have:Why drink scotch? What's so good about it? It has a cultural cachet for sure, a reverance if you will. But it tastes like shit compared to more modern stuff like bourbon.I have my own ideas about the answer, but first I'm interested in what you lot think. 1 posts omitted.

You'll probably have bad anxiety. But if you haven't had shakes/bad experiences before, then you'll just have some anxiety. The thing about booze withdrawal is each time gets worse. Over the years, it gets worse and worse. I'd suggest buying a little something to keep on hand, just in case you start to feel like you really need something to stop the worse withdrawal symptoms. That's what I always do... but then I always drink it, no matter what.You asked me how to keep going, and I gave you some solid advice for that. For stopping? IDFK, dude. My only real advice is: instead of AA, go to SMART recovery. They're not a cult, and they're evidence-based. Never go to AA. It's a not-fun cult.

And i want to be more specific. On most evenings i wake up pretty well, but after my first beer i want to ted bundy people. I guess in general for any other alcs reading this do you guys feel this way too? Like if i see someone roll a stop sign (coming from a drunk driver) it puts me into of spin of having zero hope for the human race. I think it may be more mental illness then anything else but im not sure if i already feel that way and the alc is making matters worse, or if im actually suppressing the true demon deep down.It doesnt help that ive been under a great deal of financial stress and at 27 have yet to find any self worth. there are times it helps me deal, but others not so much.No off thread topic but def struggling. im 27 have no record, no DUI, still have my license and a girlfriend of 7 years. im just worried if i dont do something im going to lose everything of value in my life

>> Basil Seggledale - Tue, 19 Nov 2019 20:32:25 EST DVxOkZGI No.283181 Reply >>283159>should i be worried at detoxing at this level?Kinda. You'll probably have bad anxiety. But if you haven't had shakes/bad experiences before, then you'll just have some anxiety. The thing about booze withdrawal is each time gets worse. Over the years, it gets worse and worse. I'd suggest buying a little something to keep on hand, just in case you start to feel like you really need something to stop the worse withdrawal symptoms.

Lately it doesn't matter how much or how little I drink, or even how much or how little caffeine I consume with it, but I just woke up on my day off and decided to party, all excited I cracked out and drank just a couple shots of some tasty whiskey.Now I'm about ready to go back to sleep, even after trying everything between heavy caffeine consumption to physical activity, fresh air, and sunshine. I'm just going to go sleep now, fuck my life.It didn't used to be this way, only a few months earlier I used to day drink like a boss and was active all day, maybe I'm just tired in general. 8 posts omitted.

I'm not super rich, but I try to tip at least a dollar per drink and at least a fiver total in extra bits if I have money. Sometimes if I'm pinched it's just a dollar per drink. Of course, if I was ordering elaborate cocktails or something difficult I'd probably tip more, but it's usually just beer and shots.How do you decide your tipping habits, /hooch/?
