Is there such thing as a functioning alcoholic?
>>25323113Yes. AMA
>>25323113alcohol, the least fun of the drugs you could do
>>25323113Yes. I did it for years. It catches up with you eventually though.
>>25323113Yes. It's more common than you might think
>>25323113Fucking right there is
>>25323113Four Loko makes me vomit but shots of Everclear somehow don't.
>>25323113yeah hello i drink myself to sleep at 2 am and go to work at 5:30 every week day.
>>25323119>buys 4lokoyou must be 18 to post here mein nigglet
>>25323114How do I fix my tv?
Yea there's a good amount that stop during work hours
>>25323113Millions of us.
>>25323122how am I supposed to help you if you won't even tell me the problem? I am a functioning alcoholic not a clairvoyant
>>25323125the geometry on my KV-32FS120 is slightly fucked, the picture is slightly rotated to the right and the convergence toward the bottom looks poor. do I need to rotate and reseat the yoke or is the whole thing fucked?
>>25323113>Is there such thing as a functioning alcoholic?ofc, i know many of them. Actually that might be the majority of men (and few women) i know. Some are less functioning than others, but overall i'd say they do alright. Better than me at least, and i don't drink a single drop.It's all about your flame within, your determination and your vital energy. Is it burning strong like a stake or flickering like a candle?If it's burning strong you can be on crack and booze 24/7 and you'll still live a fulfilling life. On the opposite if your vital energy is low (could be for various factors), you will stagnate and see life as a permanent torture only death can free you from.
>>25323126>32"wtf papi, it's not 2002 anymore. If your screen is smaller than 65" you should immediately throw away the dinosaur you call a TV and order something decent right now.You can have TVs with gorgeous rendering, HDR, 4k, 144h, SQD miniLED, etc... 65-75" for like 600 bux these days. And that's before black friday's sales.That's the ONE purchase you wont ever regret.
>>25323126Sorry but i really have to insist, you can't imagine the giant evolutionary steps modern OLED/LCD models have experienced in the past years. 2026 mid-level models are just jaw dropping, you can only believe it when you see it with your own eyes. Buy a new fucking TV.
>>25323113I've been drinking half a bottle of vodka a day for the last two years. It's only difficult if you stop drinking. That's when the suffering begins. So just don't stop. I've never gotten a hangover because I wake up in the night and take a shot, and when I wake up in the morning I take another shot. Prevents the hangover from coming.
I'd say my father is probably a functioning alcoholic, though never diagnosed to my knowledge. My mother was an alcoholic and it's a really terrible state of living. Personally I am almost 5 years sober. Put down that bottle anon.
>>25323120So you're not getting any deep sleep or REM sleep whatsoever. Consider the implications on your cardiovascular system.
Yes. I drink like 12 beers on the weekend but refrain during the week. So even though I'm technically an alcoholic on the weekends I can still function throughout the rest of the week.
>>25323132He'll sleep when he's dead, nigga. Being alive if for being drunk. Sleep is for the dead.
>>25323128>>25323129I am not going to play Sega Genesis and Nintendo 64 games on a modern display. that shit is for browns.
>>25323133If you don't shake when you stop drinking you aren't an alcoholic.I did it for a year, can confirm shitsux
>>25323113Yes, there’s been many historical examples. The Faustian bargain, however, is that it never lasts.
>>25323113no there is notIm a casual drinker, I have been all my life, Im 61 nowbut once you get addicted and cant function without alcohol, then youre stuck and cant fuctionpeople who drink casually, like get drunk on the job, are not functioning alcoholics, they are just lazy and use alcohol as a way to fuck off
>>25323135You shouldn't play genesis or N64 games at all you stupid retronigger. I hate nostalgiafags like you with a passion.
>>25323132if he stops drinking at this point, he'll hallucinate, have seizures and then die
>>25323122His tshirt just proves he is below cattle in his retardation. Can't even identify himself correctly as goyim is plural of goy. May Hashem grace you retards identyfying with this wicked idiot with His mercy.
>>25323139nostalgia has nothing to do with it, i play new (to me) games constantly. imagine playing modern nu-game slop, couldn't ever be me.
>>25323113The greatest conspiracy is everything is going to be alright.
>>25323138Typical, boomer retard has no idea what he’s talking about.
>>25323143you will live much longer that an you expect to
>>25323127How does one restore vital energy? I was a functioning alkie years ago (don't drink anymore) and things were on the up and up but my energy is toast after being burned out at work for the past 8 months
>>25323139New games have better graphics but worse everything else, why consoom new garbage for the sake of consoooooommmminnnnnggg when better experiences are available for low or no cost?
>>25323113It catches up with you in more ways than one. COVID basically killed multiple family members because they couldn't work for a while and it fucked up their rhythm. By the time lockdowns lifted they were hopeless
>>25323127just jacked off to lain in her bear onesie, sorry not sorry
>>25323136Or get very irritable, unable to focus, easily aggravated, etc.
>>25323113alex y2k jones became everything he hated.a fat, bloated, drunken baboon, shilling politcal cunts and selling dumb tinfoil for 30 years.akaa longer version than old Drunky Bill Cooper
>>25323146A significant aspect of it is simply aging. When you’re young, your enzymes break down alcohol a lot faster. As you get older, it takes longer and longer, the intoxication lasts longer, and you begin losing certain functions that you once had. Memory retainment begins to deplete.However, mental states and being active is also key to having high functioning alcoholism.
>>25323151He’s actually sober and lost a lot of that weight now. He was drinking like a maniac because of the lawsuits and his ex wife taking everything from him.
>>25323153lmao sure bro.
>>25323150This is me, I don't shake and I can still hard stop cold turkey without getting DT but boy am I miserable and cranky for the first few days/weeks, not to mention I can barely sleep (inb4 "durr alcohol fucks up your sleep too," some fucked up sleep is better than no sleep)
>>25323150Yeah those are pretty mild though, the best or worst part are the demonic dreams you get when your body is withdrawing in your sleep. Most people hate them but they showed me something insane I will never get to see again. It's like a terrifying artistic expression from hell.
>>25323154Actually just checked and yeah, top kek, he’s still drunk. But last I checked he was doing better. Seems he fell off the wagon.>>25323155Same here. If I consciously want to, I can take breaks and not desire it. But when you run out and go 2 days without, you get very irritable, agitated over small shit, rant a lot, can’t focus as much, etc.
>>25323113The whole Boomer generation
>>25323113Yeah it's like 80% of all alcoholic in America
>>25323136I drank a 1 liter bottle of vodka a day plus a six pack of beer when I was depressed. I never got the shakes I never sweated I never became red in the face. But its probably because my family genes were very alcohol tolerance I could drink 3 beers without even a slight buzz so I had to use vodka. I could throw up though but that was mostly due to cheap vodka not the amount of it.
>>25323115Not really
>>25323136pussy shit I drink a liter of fireball a night and get up at 6:00 am to work 10 or 12 hour shifts as a tradie
>>25323162>pussy shit>liter of fireballbrvh..
>>25323136oops responded to the wrong person (for obvious reasons) my post, >>25323162, was meant for this anon >>25323133
>>25323162Fireball will give you a nasty hangovers because it's extremely sugary and sweet
>>25323163hey fair enough. I quit for two years and started back I am not on a gallon vodka or 20 shots of rare breed + 5 beers levels yet
I am sober for 4 years now and unlike the majority of soberfaggots who extol the virtues of their gayass ned flanders sobriety i will tell you it fucing sucks ass and alcohol and getting fucked up rules. the world is fucking gay and without getting fucked up its even gayer
>>25323113There are even high functioning alcoholics.
>>25323167nah, both options are shit so just choose your path, you're still stuck on this gay earth
>>25323113Yeah, the only thing my dad did once his work was done is fall asleep on the couch. Then he'd wake up early and work more. And he wasn't even employed for the last like 5 years of his life. He just kept working, occupying himself, drunk 90% of the time.Then the alcohol abruptly killed him. He just collapsed one day for the first time ever. The following day he died in the hospital and that was it. He built a house while drunk, and my mom sold it for $800k I think after he died.
>>25323113It's called being Irish.
>>25323115ask me how i know you're a square
>>25323171The only thing the Irish were ever useful for was ballast on ships.
>>25323173>castles>William Butler Yeats>various musical artists>mythology>fuckin’ Guinness, Harp, Smithwicks
>>25323146Could be a variety of things, desu. For example, I'm sober 5 years in December. Only last year I started wearing a sleeping mask full time. Light pollution is extremely common now, you won't get full REM without it, and it affects you more as you age. I sleep every night with it now. Until I get my house in the country with full darkness I'll keep wearing it. I remember when I used to drink and use weed, that would often solve the light pollution problem, but since I've gone sober I've had to think of other solutions. Sleep mask is in some ways an equally effective solution to drinking myself to sleep, except with far more benefits.That's just one example but alcohol is a great panacea solution to many things. When you get sober it's normal to have to take some time to think about other solutions to problems you might have that are wearing you down.
>>25323160I was like this for many years, it's actually impressive how long you can be a full-blown alkie for before having any physical symptoms, if you have the right constitution at least. Eventually it happens though. The answer to OP's question is yes, people only notice the ones who stop functioning.
>>25323174I have a sneaking feeling we might have invented Guinness. Incidentally 4chan is the only place I've ever seen other Brits actually disliking the Irish, I swear it isn't a think IRL.
>>25323173based. the japanimese really do mog the irish lololol
>>25323141>His tshirt just proves he is below cattle in his retardation. Can't even identify himself correctly as goyim is plural of goy. May Hashem grace you retards identyfying with this wicked idiot with His mercy.miss use it a the kike still kvetches kek. gas yourself chicken swinging nigger
>>25323113I think some people have a different alcohol metabolism process that skips the acetaldehyde stage, or filters it out extremely efficiently or some shit, I don't remember, I stumbled upon it on Wikipedia or something. I definitely don't have that gene, that shit would be awesome though.
