After I drink, either I become a horn dog, or I get ignorant, especially at parties.
I'm thankful I don't get depressed though.

Man...alcohol is no joke for me. Started drinking heavy in the military, 7 days a week.
Got out and kept drinking....7 days a week. A lot of bad **** happened, and I found myself drinking when I woke up, drinking at work, drinking after work. I was drunk more than I was sober. It was to rhe point where i would chug a pint of whiskey in about 45 seconds and then drive home.
Got to the point where I almost lost my marriage, she and my, mom had a mini intervention and I went to rehab lol.
Just hit a year sober last month. Im not one of those alcoholics who can have a drink every now and then, I'm completely dry. Weed is legal here, so I still smoke casually.
If you find yourself drinking too often, it might be early signs of a serious problem. Rehab changed my life, cuz. Had a brother in there crying regularly lol.

I went out Sat night with some friends. Had a handful of drinks. Felt buzzed not doubt but I was cool 
Friends were offering me drinks and I refused them. Really just enjoyed socializing and got home and went to bed early. Woke up early and did the things I needed to do. No hangover and I didn't feel bad/guilty/anxious.

Learn to meditate.
Play basketball.
Aggressively pound yambs.
Refocus the anger into productivity towards a skill/project/business.
Just a few suggestions. Everyone (imo) experiences depression... But when you seek to be consoled through alcohol you've taken it to a new level.

Just got a DUI in Feb..... got pulled over for speeding. 50 in a 35 (it was a speed trap though, changed from 45mph to 35mph)
Anyway, failed the field sobriety test and she could smell the liquor on me. Fast forward, I spent $1500 on a lawyer,. (dont know if it actually helped or not, seems like I got the standard punishment)
$1,000 fine, 1yr probation, 40 hrs community service, took my license away for 4 months, have to take a $355 DUI class. and my probation officer piss tests me for drinking
I drink way to much regularly and I've started to cut back to just drinking on the weekends. (Was a half bottle of whiskey each night) Its tough tho I'm not going to lie. Good luck to all of yall.

It's been 10 days since I last had a drink. Trying to make it to atleast my birthday.
Tired of being know as a functional alcoholic or messing up things because I'm drunk.

Yea I don't even wanna see my insurance coming up....I already pay $150 for one car/full coverage.
Oh yeah forgot to add about my arrest, I blew a .17 which is double the legal limit but besides my speeding and wobbling slightly when I walked 9 steps forward then turn, the police officer asked me do I drink a lot because I didn't seem to be double the limit. She surmised I have a high tolerance, which is true.
But its definitely UBER and cabs from here on out.
