    I did this for about 2 years, and I had to stop this last January. I was a connoisseur drunk as well, and all of my friends were. Our usual scotch, bourbon, Irish whiskey, etc, tastings would turn into drinking half a bottle of each. It wouldn't be uncommon that in one night, any one of us would down 10+ shots and maybe a few beers. But, it was always justifiable because we were extending our palate. It sounds fucked up now, but I lived that for years and the last 2 years became way out of control, and the pandemic made it way worse. Thankfully, this last January I had a moment of clarity that said I should give it up.

    “Our childhoods don’t exist anymore.” That’s powerful. So many parents rationalize and justify their behavior cause they’re parents did it.
    Like no one ever thought that hitting their child (abuse) cause they aren’t doing what they want them to do was a “form” of discipline. They just had abusive parents and are doing the same abuse.

    This is a wake up call (one of many) to get off the sauce, but I gotta say his point about retrospect. If I got really square, never would have gotten out of my comfort zone, had a long term relationship, worked where I worked etc. If I had stayed square, at some point in 2020 I would have offed myself for getting fired re: refusing the clot shot and having nothing to show for it. Life is a wild ride, but yeah lay off the sauce kids, in most situations moderation, self-denial or self control will do wonders.

    We tell ourselves we love the flavor and the characteristics of the drink, whatever it is… But really we all like that buzz, don’t we? I discovered this when a nice double pour of 100+ proof had absolutely zero effect on me. So I drank more of it. Not because I liked it necessarily… But because I was trying to get back to that buzz. To be fair, I still enjoy whiskey a lot and consider myself a bit of a snob, but I have backed way off and hope to continue to do so until I’m only taking a few sips every now and again, not on the nightly by myself in my home den.

When I was a kid in the 70's people were f'ing older than shit at 70 and most looked like walking corpses by 60-65. The very rare 80+ year old you simply stared aat in wonder knowing that MF'er was around during WWI. Most people no longer drink a bottle of cheap gin every night after smoking three packs of Lucky's while eating a slab of overcooked steak with au gratin potatoes. I guess it's what you want, life is a trade off.
