Is mind boggling. I think I’m at around 70 drinks a week and still live a successful life packed full of meetings and high stress work, even go to the gym and do cardio every week, have a wife and kid and a mistress on the side. Most people assume at this level you’re just sleeping in and nursing hangovers and drinking all day.

No kidding. It has adverse affects already. I am depressed and have gained some weight and I am insanely risk tolerant. My infidelity is barely concealed and I take a lot of risks with my job. I am self destructive but things keep falling my way. The point of the thread is that avg people think at this level of drinking you have to be a bum or totally unproductive. Not true.

knocking back 5 or 6 between 6am and 8am is an easy way to run up the score. also fun to chuckle at the wimps who whine about how they haven’t had their coffee yet anytime there’s an early meeting.

I had a bad mid life crisis thing 5 years ago where I was depressed to the point a suicide for like two and half years. Alcohol was the only thing that kept me from throwing myself into traffic. I go on the depression subreddit sometimes in threads where people are like I’m severely depressed and drinking a lot and everyone tells them to cut out the alcohol and I’m like no that’s the only thing that allows these guys to come up for a breath of fresh air, just leave them alone and let them have their little break from the agony of it all. People get mad but I’m sure I’m right.

This was me until about 2 years ago when it all blew up. In my experience, what will happen is you will eventually do something really stupid while drunk (probably a combination of being a little more drunk than normal + some kind of bad luck) that will lead to significant personal or professional fallout and lead to significant regret + others monitoring your drinking. DUI crash, major fuckup at work, cheat and get caught, something like that. At that point you will have to sober up or blow up your life.

I can't comprehend this.

Even in my early 20s, when I would drink 10 plus drinks pretty much every weekend night, I would basically be hungover until Thursday every week. I only got one productive day, maybe two out of the week.

And by my late twenties I needed coke or Adderall to be able to drink past 10pm.

We have extremely different energy systems.

i was like this from late teens to my late 30s. i naturally am a heavy drinker from a family of heavy drinkers raised in a binge drinking culture, and i’m very hangover resiliant, so it was easy for me to maintain normal life if i made the slightest effort to drink water and eat reasonably.

i never had any serious repercussions (which i am certain has a lot tondo with sheer dumb luck) but eventually gave it up because alcohol wrecks your looks and the weight gain creep and fitness impact can’t be avoided in middle age. i’m a vainmo, so i chose staying lean and younger looking but sometimes i really miss the boozy lifestyle. it’s fucking crazy how much harder i can push it with exercise if i’m at 20 drinks a week instead of 60+. the bros i know who never cut back all look rough now, always red and blotchy, sweaty alcohol bloated heads, bad skin, spare tire, it’s easy to spot the physical degradation from binging.
