So how many of you are im a alcoholics?

[mordantly]

hey alcohol revolves arround MY life! i normally consume 6-12 beers a night when i have them. thats only a problem on the wallet.

addiction: continued abuse INSPITE of negative consequences, ie: legal, monetary, family.

i got a dui .19 on 4th of july. but i am not an alcoholic. im an alcohol breeder.

I think most people are in denial about it. Take it from me, telling someone who is a alcoholic they are a alcoholic gets them deeply offended and angry.

I don't agree!! Ooh! That makes me sooo angry!!!

Dammit! he got me again!

 

[BBKing]

My general rule for consumption of alcohol/brewing beer is I'll consider giving it all up when:

I'm too hung-over to go to work (and I hardly ever drink enough to be hung over)

I spend all my $ on beer (I RARELY buy store bought beer)

or my relationship with my family is strained due to drinking (they encourage me brewing cause I enjoy it)

But reality is that I usually give half of what I brew away (with the understanding that I get my bottles back!) to friends and family because I enjoy other people enjoying my beer. I drink a pint with dinner on weekdays, and maybe 3 a night on weekends.

Coming from a family with an alcoholic past, and the fact that I used to have a drug prob, I know what to look for. I fit none of the criteria, and I'd guess that most here dont either.

Just wanted to know, considering the fact your life revolves around alcohol, how many of you have a problem with it?

Who the hell actually has the complete lack of good common sense to post something like this?

An alcoholic . . .

 

[Shooter]

Yeah, because I always prefer to get my facts from comedians.

Comedians?!?! I think you mean pure F-ing geniuses!!! Sorry, sorry, what was this thread about?? I'm drunk...as usual!!!!

 

[Shooter]

Needs more hobo...or possibly more cowbell.

I've been told I'm an alcoholic by many wise asses with an AMA definition or otherwise. Who cares? If you are addicted to alcohol, ABC Liquor sells a handle of 100 proof vodka for $8. You could home brew that much ethanol for around $15-35 depending on recipe and type of drink. Why would you cut your addicting, nourishing nectar by half?

That said, I like to drink. My friends like to drink. I will become rather intoxicated, tell nasty jokes, hit on ugly chicks, pee in my front yard at 9am, and make a total stranger pull my finger. This doesn't make me an alcoholic, just a fun-loving jack ass. I home brew because I enjoy drinking and making the product. Truth be told, the alcohol is nearly a side effect. And given the choice between alcohol and cold meaningless sex or a hauling ass on my bikes I'd be sober for the day.

what is more fun than urinating outdoors? in fact, time to water the tree and hopefully not get a dicksicle.

Protect your johnson and use some of that palm friction. Works for me.

its 34F outside!

Sir, I have tried your suggestion and it landed me some confusing remarks from my neighbors. One is currently cleaning himself off in my bathroom as I type this.

BEST. ADVICE. EVAR.

alternate reaction: "Great, now I need to go clean off my temperature controller."

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

This thread is still alive?

hell, if it goes on any longer, i will stop kidding around and say what I REALLY think about the original post!

 

[DeathBrewer]

My first keg was an 8% stout. I finished it in 4 days. The 4th day my roommate found me drooling on the couch while I kept dropping the x-box remote and couldn't even get into the game to play it. The 5th day I was 2 hours late for work.

So, yes, this hobby can have that effect at times. I am a bit of a drunk, too. Recent experiences have stopped me from brewing altogether for about 2 months. This is due to many factors, including my bad back, work being hell, and my drinking habits.

Are some brewers alcoholics? Sure. Can having a keg of tasty beer around for mass consumption cause some problembs with overindulgence? Of course.

But being a homebrewer definitely doesn't make you an alcoholic. Hell, When I was truly concentrating on brewing for my several dozen "BJCP Brew-in" batches, I didn't drink have a single drink until the wort was cooling.

I should post a thread in whatever forum US congressmen might use use asking how many of them are sexual deviants.

Haha! That forum would drop to zero registered users within 24 hours.

 

[DeathBrewer]

"whatever forum us congressmen might use"?

try sexualdeviant.com

 

[Grubmeister]

And I bet you could stop anytime you wanted.

That's right, I could...and I will...right after I finish my...my next beer.

 

[Bumbler]

That's right, I could...and I will...right after I finish my...my next beer.

I'm with you on that.

I wondered how long it would take.

sweet delicious beeer.....

 

[beergears]

The guy who read my (latest) CT scan says I have a fatty liver.

Maybe (s)he is jealous..?

 

[Omnihility]

I used to be pretty bad. Now I only get drunk once every few weeks, instead opted for a few pints a day. Yeah, I guess I am an alcoholic but I don't get the shakes if I don't drink or get the urge to vomit like I used to.

 

[JesseRC]

I drink less now than I ever have in my entire life. I have 1 every day during the week. On the weekend sometimes I have none.

 

[Domminigan]

If anything the hobby helps you to respect beer and take more time to sit back and enjoy it.

Beer is like a good woman. If you really love it, you don't abuse it.

 

[cheezydemon3]

To answer the OP. My world literally revolves around alcohol. If I am near an alcoholic beverage, my sense of gravity becomes askew and I start orbiting the alcohol like a satellite. Then eventually I crash into the booze and transform into a drunken raging Hobo, complete with worn out shoes, and a bindle sack.

Freaking hilarious.

Seriously, Monty Python worthy.

Cheers Brother!

Glad you are better, and thank you for sharing.

Corked and in the freezer?

"I said phuck it, I know what should be done
Just pull your panties down and
I'll phuck the biggest one
And then I get the other poosie
put it in the freezer
So I can always have a on-hold skeezer
Get out to tick it, I do it like that
So I told the ho's to take a big step back
Took the zipper down, I'z wide and said
Here's what I'm gonna put inside
Grab it like a rabbit, grab it let's wreck it
But I won't love you,
When I'm done I'd still be talkin' schitt ..."

Eazy E

That's right. When you are both comfortable with it, go for it. Just remember your safe words.

Corked and in the freezer?

That reminds me, I need to go untie those two I picked up off the side of the road now. The stitches should be all settled by now!
