    Re: Do you have a drink each day after work?

    mgoblue - i did it about once a week, pretty much about how i drink when i work. i really don't understand how anyone can become an alcoholic. the drinking is a lot of work IMO...buying all the booze, then drinking it (the fun part), then the cleanup, the hangover, etc....it seems there is a real commitment involved there. I just enjoy it once a week. Kind of like having company over, it's fun but not all the time.

      Wow. No offense, but I sure don't plan on that being me.

        Beer cans are a lot of work, but it is pretty easy to be an alcoholic if you are dealing with liquor. Honestly my dad is one, but not the way you would think. He is highly functional and successful at what he does, so him being an alcoholic has positively influenced my view of alcoholism. I catch myself thinking 'If he can do it, and his life is great, why can't I?' And I do enjoy drinking.

        Also, I am glad to see that you feel that way too about being drunk you said something to the effect of "It is nice for your brain to slow down a little for once." I tried to explain that to a friend awhile ago and she looked at me like I was crazy lol

        Also alcohol prices and availability vary a lot by state. A 24 pack of the cheapest beer at Wal Mart goes for 13$ and 40's are illegal here, as are 30 packs and liquor that is over 151 proof. (Florida)

            Yea, that is the thing. But he's my old man, not like I can tell him that. Doesn't want to be lectured by his son and its not like his wife doesn't remind him enough already lol

              Man I have to remove my automatic subscription to this thread. Every time I see it my list I think "mmmm I'd like a drink right about now".

                This is my once a week...I got off early today...Now I'm drinking some Southern Comfort. The days at work and gym can be very draining. It's like 4PM but nobody is drinking tonight because it's Sunday...Might as well have a few.

Must have twisted it in the blankets while I slept. Dammit. So that might be a setback. Then, when I got home from work, I went upstairs to the bedroom and the smell of rotting mouse flesh was back. Sounds like another one went up there and died. Uggh. A few weeks of dealing with that now. Time to get more FeBreeze. Heh. Not sure I want to be playing in my weekly card game tonight. lol.
                  I had a mouse die in my wall one time, the smell was there for months and nothing we could do about it. The Landlord, didn't want to cut the wall open. It was really bad. I think I had a drink every night that month.

                    Wow - 40 ounces are illegal in Florida? I'm crossing that off my list of states I would live in (along with california and michigan)!

                      Yeah, they sell quart bottles (32 oz.) instead of 40 oz. bottles in Florida. It doesn't matter to me anyway though because any beer that comes in either size bottle is pure garbage IMO.
