He was at the peak, and he boozed and lost everything.

>Jan-Michael Vincent’s chronic alcoholism was a genuine American tragedy. Once the highest-paid actors on network television, at the beginning of his career Vincent looked like an Adonis.
Likewise, Vincent became televisions highest-paid actor starring as hotshot helicopter pilot Stringfellow Hawke in the hit TV series “Airwolf” from 1984 until 1986—but was fired from the show's 1987 season because of his inability to control his alcoholism.
By the time of his death in 2019 he was an emaciated, shell. His body slowly poisoned over the years with alcohol.
First arrested in 1977 for cocaine possession, Vincent's life from that point forward became a series of substance-related mishaps interspersed with periods of creativity.
He starred in the star-studded ratings-bonanza TV “The Winds of War” in 1983. However he was replaced in its blockbuster 1988 sequel “War and Remembrance” as by that time alcoholism had rendered him unemployable.
Vincent had also become TV's highest-paid actor starring as hotshot helicopter pilot Stringfellow Hawke in the hit series “Airwolf” from 1984 until 1986—but was fired from the show's 1987 season because of his deepening alcoholism.
From that point forward, Jan-Michael Vincent’s life became a nightmarish downward spiral of arrests, fights, drunken brawls, automobile accidents—and incarceration.
Vincent died in 2019 at age 74--but at the time of his death hadn't been employed as an actor or appeared in front of a motion picture camera in nearly two decades.

Yeah, he's for sure a cautionary tale. I've got 7 years sober now, but I was drinking HARD for over 20 years. Blacking out more and more and getting sicker in the mornings. Since I quit several of my drinking friends have died from it. Dying late 30s, early 40s from nonstop partying. JMV lasted a real long time. I've known quite a few old drunks who just keep plugging along.
I remember he looked so rough in Buffalo '66. That photo of him missing a leg is horrific. I'm not gonna go that way. Pure poison. You could almost even see it in his Hooper character; up drinking all night with Burt Reynolds. You could tell he genuinely loved it, even just a scene in a movie.
Didn't he go on Howard Stern and say he wasn't drunk? Sad stuff.

I really hate this culture of either demonizing liquor or demonizing abstinence.
Liquor is a neutral beverage. Taken in moderation is fine, and by moderation, enough that you are still in full control of your faculties. Sure, you can abstain, but that's a personal choice and in no way reflects you as better or worse off for it. All the same with those that indulge. What is certain though, alcoholism is bad

Different stuff. One just drank ice beer all day long. Another drank a lot of rum and vodka every night. One guy got a liver transplant at 25 and then started drinking again and died at 28. He was a vodka guy. He drank cocktails 2 parts vodka, 1 part cranberry.
Everyone handles booze differently. Who's to say why one guy lives to 90 doing heroin and another lives to 45? Both famous guys with access to clean drugs. There's no quantifying it.

Congratulations. You're a normal person if you top out at 5. That's even rather a lot for someone who doesn't like to get drunk. Alcoholics never feel awful and want to go home. Going home is for when everyone is gone and so is the booze. Real boozeheads will drink into the morning, never wanting it to end. Eventually blackouts will ruin that wonderful feeling of drinking for 12 hours straight and having adventures. You still have the adventures, you just don't experience them consciously; you don't remember them after. It's as if long sections of time happened to someone else. And as horrifying as this is, people continue to drink through it.

That's easy; is it getting in the way of living your life? Fulfilling your obligations?
Failure to control your alcoholism is needing to get to bed early for an important day on the job and then going out for drinks anyway and then completely tying one on and only getting 4 hours of passout sleep and fucking up at work because you're still drunk. Or calling in sick because you can't get out of bed. Basically if you don't want to drink and do or want to limit your drinking but can't, you have lost control. That's a major sign of alcoholism.

I used to drink a lot. I was always able to take time off when I felt really unhealthy and most of my sustained drinking periods have been done with beer, but I had friends who went harder than me and I do still like to put away a half bottle of scotch or bourbon from time to time, although I'm trying to keep it to a 3rd these days.

Here are my completely non-professional markers for when drinking is probably getting out of control and you need to reel it in and take some time off
-drinking the moment you finish work and going until you pass out. I knows and still know guys who would stop at a bar for a few as soon as work finished work and then grab a mixer for the road, come in the door and keep going. Another would get 2 Sixpacks and knock off 3-4 by the time he walked in the door, and have the last couple beers with dinner then pound the other sixer. There are pisshead women who will do a bottle of wine at lunch and then get out of work early to buy another bottle, maybe 2 after work
-drinking ALL weekend. Like as soon as you're well enough to drink in the morning just going all the time. Basically drinking from Fri afternoon to Sunday night with only breaks when you sleep. Every weekend.
-drinking at work, sneaking out to drink at non alcohol functions. I've done it a few times but if it's a regular thing for you then you need to get it in check quickly before you make a cunt out of yourself if you haven't already.
-regular/daily hard liquor... not good. I don't know anyone who can control it well enough consistently.
-can you take even 2 days off drinking per week? 2 dry days to give your liver a rest shouldn't be too much. If you can't do it, the booze has got you.
-leaving drinking social events to get drunker and drink properly. Not a good sign to be doing this often. We all bail on boring events but this is the booze taking control.

You're ignorant. I've seen people go through livers at young ages. Tons of people drink themselves to death in their 50s, 60s, 70s, 20s, everything in between. Living to 80 is a feat anywhere, but raging alcoholics rarely get that far.
You're only fooling yourself.
>>
-when you start making a cunt out of yourself infront of people that matter and need to be told about it. Even if its not every day. Some people just cant control their drinking and every drink witha friend becomes a heavy session, anger, drunk driving, accidents, stealing, just being a mean or obnoxious drunk to people who don't deserve it every time you're on the sauce. That's when the booze has got you too
-Drink driving is a bad habit that slowly escalates. If you're getting busted, or have fucked up your car more than once from drunk driving clipping curbs, bumping walls parking, clipping mirrors in narrow streets.... it's probably going to get more expensive and worse. Stop before it gets worse
>>
>>215143092
There's a big old difference between alcoholism and binge drinking, and what you're describing is the latter. If you go and get blackout drunk every Saturday night, and wake up the following morning with a monstrous hangover and unable to remember half the night, then you have a problem and need to learn how to exercise self control around substances. It's not slipping into alcoholism though until you're drinking much more frequently than that, and it doesn't necessarily need to be in large quantities. If you find you can't get through the day without a drink, or you're having a bottle of wine every evening, or drinking in socially inappropriate situations, like when other people aren't, or you're alone, or it's the middle of the workday, then you're developing alcoholic habits.

Why do all you alcoholics yap so much about your problems. I drink (too much) every night and that's probably bad for me and will probably negatively impact me in the long run health wise.

Spanish singer. He claims it was due to having nose surgery and not taking proper care changing the bandages and such. As you say, hillarious bullshit.
As the singer himself explains on the program, he decided to have nose surgery because he had a deviated septum that prevented him from breathing normally. Lucas also wanted to take the opportunity to get a minor cosmetic touch-up and, as he himself stated, "kill two birds with one stone."

>After the surgery, however, all the problems arose. Lucas, in his own words, "was not a good patient." The singer-songwriter had to undergo a series of treatments to ensure his recovery went smoothly, and he ignored the instructions, resulting in his nose not being in good condition.
>"I wasn't a good patient because this has its treatments, it has its antibiotics, it has its anti-inflammatories, it has its Blastoestimulina, it has its Rhinocusi Vitamin, it has its strips... And I took it off the first few days. There was no need to make any effort, I had to stop for a few days and I was already lifting weights at the gym and boom!, a vein burst and it didn't heal," says Lucas.

They're both alcoholism though. The guy who gets blackout drunk every time cannot exercise self control.
Almost every time this issue comes up an idiot claims the only REAL alcoholics are the morning sippers who always need it in their systems. That's just another type. I never took a morning drink but I drank hard EVERY night. And now and then I could stay sober a couple of days in a row, but it was rare. They have the list of warning signs of alcoholism. I scored 9 out of 11. I've been to rehab and hundreds of 12 step meetings. But it's nice to know that by YOUR definition I was never an alcoholic.

It must suck to be actively drinking and see people who are happy to have gotten out. You realize you have a problem but you continue to poison yourself anyway.
For the time being, the "benefits" outweigh the costs. That will change or it won't. If you're getting away with living this way you'll continue to drink. I was the same way; very defensive of my choice. It was killing me but I wasn't going to stop.

In my teens and twenties I could drink an ungodly amount. Like 20 beers or a fifth of liquor, and I'd be absolutely fine the next day. I could work or go to class and drink later that night. But eventually after years of abuse, I got to where you are. Two day hangovers with splitting headaches, puking up bile and having dry heaves. Just barely able to walk and drink water. But for so many years being drunk was heaven to me. It was so fun and felt so good. I loved to drink. Anything and everything. As often as possible. Until dawn.

I actually stopped reading it because it got too frustrating to follow. I was listening to Stern in the years that he gets into in that book, and it’s incredible how he was lying the entire time, and they kept calling his mods during the shows a “sugar crash”. That dude pissed away several opportunities that others would have sold their left nut for.

The most depressing thing I saw was a Twitter post he made saying something to the effect of “I was selling out Carnegie Hall a decade ago, and now I’m playing VFW halls. Don’t do drugs, kids.”

The last I saw, he was living with his mom in Florida. I hope he still gets royalty checks from Sirius at least. That said, I just got a new car with a free Sirius trial, so I turned on Howard 101 for the archives segments from yesteryear, and I don’t think I’ve heard Artie speak once, just kind of chuckle occasionally. It might be sheer coincidence, but I did pick up on that.

Weed doesn't "convince you" of anything, have you never smoked weed in 2025? Shocking stuff.
Worst case scenario is you'd become functionally worthless for a couple hours, wanting to watch TV or listen to music.
Some people do experience issues with addiction and weed, but it's pretty rare. Someone who is honest with themselves about their alcohol addiction likely would recognize fast if weed was rendering them incapable of a better life instead of what it normally does, which is make "Twin Peaks" even better.

Some people are just weak and without any willpower. I've seen people get categorized as alcoholics even though they have no negative downsides in their life due to drinking. Studying, going to work, excercising, going outdoors and doing everything while occasionally having 3 beers on an evening will, without even joking, possibly get you an actual diagnose and it goes in your medical register for doctors and nurses to moan about. I myself have been called an alcoholic for doing a party blackout, and as soon as I tell them I was without a drop for 6 months I just get a blank stare of "Oh, ok.", followed by avoiding the topic from there. And I know for a fact that these people would immediately be ready to judge me for having any amount of alcohol after hearing this. The less alcohol one has to use, the better I suppose, but the fact of using any makes some people get unusually upset. At this point, I consider the word useless since its definition is bad. It's like asking 100 believers to define god.

>I've got 7 years sober now,
Cn you remember how and what you had to do for the initial change to happen?
Genuine question as I have got to a point now that boozing is ruining my life rather than just being fun.

I am 7+ years clear of drugs, but alcohol is my main hobby and I dont do anything but drink booze and play vidya.
I obviously know I need to apply effort, stay away from my drinking friends and find a substitute hobby, could just do with some actual advice.

I really don't know this shit so I figure this would be the place to ask

My 65 year old uncle drinks exactly four cans of Coors Light and four shots of Evan Williams every night. Is that a lot? It seems like a lot especially because he never takes a day off but I've also never seen him actually inebriated

I had to stop because it was fucking up my sleep so much

I had to hit my rock bottom and so will you. I went to meetings, I'd dry out a few days, but as long as my life was manageable enough I'd continue to drink; and drinking meant drinking to oblivion.
Even when my behavior got out of hand and I was making too many public scenes and tarnishing my good name around town, I only took it home and drank alone. Then I'd make blacked out phone calls and say strange things I'd never thought while sober. I said unforgivable things to people. I missed important events. I never missed work, but I was getting sicker and sicker and having less of a good time every night. The blackouts started happening in under an hour, yet I'd still be drinking for like 8 hours and cooking and falling down and calling people and finishing the whole bottle. Sometimes calling a cab or even driving for more as soon as stores were selling again. It got to be too much and the costs finally outweighed the benefits. I was physically unhealthy and destroying all of my relationships. I was unreliable and unpredictable. And no matter how much I knew I needed to quit I really had to reach a point where there was simply no more drinking to do. I was too hungover, too crazy, too rotten.
And I just knew I was done. I didn't have to drink anymore. Life was so much better without it. If it's ruining your life and no longer fun just plan to not drink one day at a time. If you can't resist the urge you still have more drinking to do. You could try meetings or rehab but unless YOU are really ready to stop there's nothing anyone can do or say to help you. Some people it takes a DUI or a bar fight or a divorce threat. Some people never find it and drink themselves to death. It's rough to be a drunk. But we're resilient people; some think stronger than the rest in our own ways. Certainly weaker in other ways. Good luck.

>He has 100 ways to kill...
>and they all work!
this is possibly one of the dumbest fucking lines I've read. If you have a way to kill, it either kills (eg it is a way to kill) or it doesn't (ergo it isn't a way to kill), it's completely unnecessary to say that they work.

Yes, that's a lot. That's eight servings of alcohol. But he seems to handle it well and stay consistent. He's just a heavy drinker. That's clinically. Doesn't seem like destructive alcoholic or anything from what you describe, but that's technically a lot of alcohol per day and per week. When I was a bartender I rarely served any customers who drank so much. Most people never had more than 4 or 5 at my place. But many continued at home or another bar.
If your uncle takes 3-5 hours to drink all that he's just maintaining a solid buzz. Doesn't seem to affect him.

It's like he asked two A.I.s and pasted them both in the comment. I don't use A.I. ever because the couple times I tried it was stupid and wrong. I find it insulting that people have taken to believing it automatically just as fast as they did with google. Not even bothering to source or verify what they find, just declaring it as fact.
Wikipedia is going to give a much more accurate biography of someone. I'm sure A.I. includes even includes it along with whatever gossip columns and obituaries it combed and combined into its output.
It will be years before I'd consider changing the way I find information online.

I don't get why you anti-pot faggots have to make up outrageous, deleterious health effects. There's plenty of genuinely worthless sacks of shit that are potheads you could use for examples of the evils of weed.
But me personally? I likes to get high and fucking walk, or hike, for hours. You just sound like a lazy faggot who can't wake up well before sunrise to look at the stars in the morning and catch a wicked view of the sunrise.

Genuine question, how do i quit. I drink 2 strong cheap beers every day after work. But when i drink them it's the only time of the day i feel peace. It's not work btw that stresses me out. For past 5 years work was the only thing that distracted me from suicidal thoughts. But in recent months even that doesn't help. Sure there are moments when I'm working and Focusing on something so I don't think about it. But in moments like walking from one part of the store to another it comes back. It's unbearable. I keep saying to myself in my mind "i need to die I can't be here". It's mostly related to how i look. I hate my face, my height, my entire body. I will be 24 years old on october 25th i was that was a good date to end it. I have sodium nitrite and metaclopramid but i will probably pussy out and continue to drink. It's all just awful, everything.

>had to hit my rock bottom and so will you
I dont think it would get like that for me.
I enjoy getting drunk, its just obviously health defects and now as I have got older it is taking its toll like taking me more time to recover from it that has got me to a point where I need to give it up for good. Just like the drugs, it ran its course.
I have never been a full on alchy despite drinking since I was a teenager.
Sure I might do a 2 or 3 day bender and there are the rare occasions where I need to drink in the morning to taper off the drunkenness that is still there from the sleep before (wake up still drunk in party mode) but they are few and far inbetween.
My drinking has got more apparent now that I stop chasing things like socializing or pussy in the world and I just drink at home.
idk what event needs to happen so that I can put massive amounts of effort to abandon the bad habit but I do need to consciously make a change. It has to go simply because it has outrun its use and its at a point where the negatives are outweighing the positives of the act of being drunk.

correct nigger
that one specific study only shows a 400% increase. I am sorry to disturb your "feelings", you can continue to "smoke da weed" like a degenerate. nobody will stop you

LMAO DID YOU EVEN READ THIS BEFORE YOU LINKED IT NIGGA? HOLY SHIT

>While the association between cannabis use and type 2 diabetes seems robust, identifying a causal connection between them was beyond the scope of this analysis.

>This research is yet to appear in a peer-reviewed journal.

>it is beyond the scope of a retrospective study such as this to establish direct causation. It merely describes an association between the two things, although it appears to be a strong one.

And here's the kicker:
>The analysis revealed that diabetes incidence in cannabis users was of 2.2%, compared to 0.6% in nonusers.

A whopping ONE POINT SIX PERCENT INCREASE!

The only correlation between diabetes and marijuana use this article supposes is that fat, lazy potheads with zero self control, over eat like the fat lazy pieces of shit they are with or without weed.

I don't believe that study. Even the study itself admits its limitations and flaws. If it were true you'd hear more about that. I'm in great shape as a cannabis user. I was overweight when I drank, but weed keeps me moving and makes dieting easier.
I'm sure somewhere there are huge fat stoners with diabetes, but not around me. I doubt other such studies even exist suggesting a correlation between weed and poor physical health.
And were any to be true for some unfortunate souls, that sucks. Still the best and safest and cheapest drug there is.
Blaze it, faggot.

Why kill yourself before going buck wild, go do drugs, fight people, fuck hookers. If you're already gonna off yourself might as well do what most are afraid to do. You can live life consequence free if you plan on suicide. Ironically, live a little. What do you have to lose?
>>
>>215146907
This is always my same advice to sad suicidal sacks. If I ever get blue I'll drink again and get high on heroin and everything. I'll take DMT and meet the elves. Fuck it. I'll hitchhike to the port and stow away to another continent. You have NOTHING to lose. And if you come out of your adventure and still want to off yourself, go right ahead. I bet you'll find a reason to live though.
