its one hell of a trade
When I was in my 20s I would drink because it helped me have fun with friends. When I hit my 30s I would drink because when I was drunk, it brought back the feeling I had when I was with my friends
There is something called state dependent memory - if you always drink when you are socializing, the social skills you learn while drunk don’t transfer to when you are sober. You need to build up social skills when you are sober or you are doomed to a life of alcoholism
It's kinda true but it is also possible "to break that cycle" as in keep the social drinking but not drink out of desperation.
>reduces your autism
It doesn't; all it does is trick you into thinking you're more sociable when in reality you're all piss drunk so you can't tell the difference.
no, people actually get way more social or extroverted when drunk
Alcoholic autist here.
I was far more inclined to socialize, converse and interact when drunk. The moment I stopped I reverted to where I was prior to booze. Extremely introverted and quiet, very agitated by sudden and loud noises and surprises. Its a full 180 from when I was drinking.
I am actually struggling right now, succeeded yet it with difficulty, to resocilize myself. It is very difficult and I have frequent frick ups.
Why don't you just tell your autistic ass that by remaining sober you gain an psychological advantage over the drunkies and can socially dunkie on them?
My brother in christ that is not how autism works. Socially I'm a special olympics competetor going up against Lebron in his prime.
It gets you out of your own head. A lot of us are actually funny intelligent people when we have the balls to actually say what comes to our heads. Alcohol helps that happen.
I lost my virginity while drunk. She tried to metoo me a couple years later (we were both drunk) but no one believed her because how much of turbosperg virgin I am in everyone's eyes
this, it's a double-edged sword. It lowers inhibition and kills social anxiety but at the same time dulls your wit, makes you overly chatty, and removes the filter that prevents you from saying dumb shit. You might not realize it but any sober person can tell from a mile away that you're already 3 drinks in. Long term, you slowly build up a tolerance and need more alcohol to get the same relaxing feeling which means you're more physically inebriated at that stage. Left unchecked you become that obnoxious drunk who's already buzzed before anyone else is. If you actually learn to be outgoing and confident then you won't need all the extra booze to get that edge
not really, I'm still autistic when drunk
Same. I got drunk as shit at a concert the other week, didn’t talk to anyone. Then went to a bar afterwards where I drank more and just sat in my phone.
Agreeing with
You're still an autist, alcohol just brings all the repressed, unconscious shit you push down to the surface. If you have a "different personality" when drunk then that's still you, you just need to be able to incorporate that side into your sober life.
>alcohol just brings all the repressed, unconscious shit you push down to the surface
That's a long winded way of saying that the alcohol dampens / kills the autism.
Alcohol makes me more autistic, as it lowers my inhibition I end up saying all the moronic and fricked up shit I think of. I can normally suppress these thoughts when I'm sober and not say them.
One time a buddy of mine was telling a story about his dad. And on the verge of total blackout I felt it necessary to the story to remind his dad was dead
OMG I HAVE SOCIAL ANXIETINOOS
>implying you're over yours
>autism
>bad
High functioning is literally a superpower. If you're not being autistic about your workouts (scheduling, rests, sleep, exercises, diet, etc.) you're ngmi.
ashwaganda reduces both and doesnt have any downsides
It made me emotionless. I could walk into traffic and not care. Good or bad? I don't know.
ashwagandha works great at making you apathetic, I stopped taking it after not feeling a flicker of emotion at my grandmother's funeral
>getting drunk once a month will destroy your test and liver
Sucks to have shit genes, sorry OP.
I hate my dad.
I haven’t had a drink in 17 years. I don’t even remember how it feels to have a hangover or how puking smells like.
God, the hangovers were terrible. Even if you could sedate the killer headache, you would still be nauseous or have that sickly feeling that spanned your whole body
>kills your sleep
That's funny because I can't sleep without it.
>that’s funny because I can’t sleep without it
I used to have this problem. The trick to going to bed sober is to budget an hour befor bed to wind down. Listen to some relaxing music and don’t look at any screens
maybe if your life is chill
doesnt work if there is some stress, idk, sober I used to wake up in panic and shit like that. just 2 beers and sleep like a baby
>wake up in a panic because if you don’t drink
Yeah that’s called being an alcoholic. It goes away after a few weeks l if you stop drinking
maybe but then was back when I was not regularly drinking, just socially once in a while. I think its actually just a legit sleep aid unless you overdo it to where you are sick (beer or two)
>legit sleep aid
Yeah that’s how I used to used it. I’ve been trying to cut so I stopped. I’ve been shedding bodyfat like crazy, but sometimes I slip up and have a shot of whisky, and my Fitbit invariably tells me that the quality of my sleep on those nights are the best I’ve had in weeks
I think the trick to using it as a sleep aid is to drink few enough drinks that it flys in under your liver’s radar so your body doesn’t go into alcohol recovery mode when you pass out
If I get a third drink the Fitbit goes from saying that I had great sleep quality to saying I had bad sleep quality
Still I try not to rely on it too much- only for nights where I really need it
>I think its actually just a legit sleep aid
>Substance which reduces sleep quality and prohibits deep sleep
Reminder never to take advice from here
for people who cant sleep. like all such drugs which do also have side effects
It’s a not a black or white thing
1 unit of alcohol can improve the time it takes to feel asleep without having a negative effect on the sleep
What is "1 unit of alcohol"?
12 oz of 5% beer, 5 oz glass of 12% wine or 1.5 oz shot of whiskey, vodka, gin etc
>lowers your social inhibitions
>allows you to socialize in groups
>makes a boring night out more fun
Drinking is a social sport anon, you gain next to nothing drinking alone, but there's more to life than lifting.
that's when you know it's time to stop. That's dependency m80
Do you live in a special care home or something?
How the frick is that even possible?
I just always declined when offered. Had many friends and went to many parties and made many good memories, never had to drink.
Me personally I just don't put the bottle to my mouth
Yeah and let me guess, you have anxiety too?
These things are caused by alcohol. Trust me man, I was was the same, and when I quit, i couldn't sleep for days.
I have worked with so many "i have 3 before bed and i feel fine in the morning" guys and the truth is they just don't remember what fine fine tye morning feels like. I love you man, go with Christ.
does a whole lot more than frick up your liver. it negatively effects every single organ in your body
I hate alcoholics and straight edge cucks so much.
>drink once or twice a week at most because i'm a responsible adult
>helps me have a good time in social settings where i'd be uncomfortable OR while i'm alone, increased confidence, lower inhibitions
>makes me not care about stressors and allows me to sleep like a baby despite occasional bouts of insomnia due to stress or anxiety
>I hate people who don't need drugs in order to be a functioning human
Why is it always the most pathetic people who think like this?
wow you're so unique and special
once or twice a week at most because i'm a responsible adult
me have a good time in social settings where i'd be uncomfortable OR while i'm alone
Some consider this close to alcoholism, anon. How old are you?
>once or twice a week
That’s borderline alcoholism. Only you know in your heart if you’re being honest or undershooting to make yourself feel better.
I'm still going to drink this lil homie right here. I drink it once a month. It's my favorite
You mix it or have it straight? I've only ever had the blue stuff
On ice is good. It's sweet and bitter and very orange-y. My favorite though is to mix it with triple sec and rum in a 2:1:1 ratio then top it off with sprite zero because it's sweet and is way more aggressively fizzy than normal sprite
I'll drink to that
205th day of sobriety for me bros, what day are y’all on? Haven’t really noticed too much of a difference health wise, but wanna try for a year just cuz. Have I hit the peak of sobriety power yet or this shit the same larp as nofap?
Drinking destroys DNA fidelity so long run you'll age better, there is no peak of sobriety, every day sober is a day won
thou wicked servant
I've never been drunk. I'm 33. Am I missing out?
Yes and no, I think you should drink at least a couple of times so if socially it's required you know what you're in for at least, unless you utterly renounce the substance in which case I salut you
I've tried it a few times, but to me all alcohol tastes like paint
People don’t actually like the taste, some drinks just mask the alcohol taste in a way people prefer.
Same story with cigarettes. If it was purely for the taste nobody would like it.
>People don’t actually like the taste, some drinks just mask the alcohol taste in a way people prefer.
>Same story with cigarettes. If it was purely for the taste nobody would like it
Wrong. People acquire tastes for these things.
It's why people drink zero alcohol beers, decaffeinated black coffee, or nicotine-free tobacco-flavour vapes.
It's fun in moderation and in the right setting with the right group of people. If any of those three factors are out of wack then it's usually not worth it.
Everything in moderation, even excesses. Drinking heavy once a fortnight or so is alright provided you aren’t drinking all the time and lifting/living clean otherwise. Depends on your goals of course, doing this might prevent you from hitting <12% body fat.
The only people I know who are militantly sober are too weak to handle alcohol without it handling them. Nothing wrong with a few cold ones with the boys on occasion. Only alcoholics and antisocial pantywaists no one wants to be around have trouble drinking socially.
>kills all your problems
Started drinking alone one day. Never looked back. Never going back.
Im having this melon mixed drink right now and its not very good. Idek why I bought the stuff to make it, I dont even really like melons in the first place
>kills the pain of being a fat moron too
Life is easy when you’re wasted probaly the only time I happy lmao
>Drank four Russian stouts last night with 10% alcohol.
>Set a Zercher squat PR today of 1.5 x bodyweight for 6 reps.
Things. Are. Fine. In. Moderation. You. Fricking. Dipshit. Spergtastic. Ideologues.
>zercher squat
hahahahahhaiUSADFHGPSIAOdfughsdogfdgh
I'm sure rippetoe would be proud of you but I do combat sports like an actual man. Zerchers are the best squat.
Just stop drinking any more when you have drank enough. Are all these "alcoholics" here underage?
Ayup, don’t think anyone will dispute that
Love me Gin
>start using my Fitbit to track my sleep
>binge drinking ruins my sleep quality, obviously
>1-2 beers gives me more REM sleep than I get sober with no apparent sleep-related downsides
Wtf?
Humans are adapted for moderate / slight alcohol consumption.
The metabolic pathways for digesting alcohol are ancient. Rotting fruit on the jungle floor was an important energy source for our distant ancestors.
>kills your desire to have a nice day
Cheers, brothers.
This. I'm omw to restock on vodka right now.
I haven't drank in 4 years, mostly because I have no friends. I sure don't miss the dehydration, hangovers, embarrassment and the lazy days after.
>I sure don't miss the dehydration, hangovers
These are the same thing and all you need to do is drink 1 tsp of potassium chloride + 1 tsp of sodium chloride with a pint of water before you sleep.
t. Hasn't had a hangover in 5 years despite much drinking.
I'll remember that if I ever have friends again, thank you.
Dont forget about muscle protein synthesis!
>about to go out with a 20 year old who likes bar hopping and shit like that
>tell her I don't drink alcohol
>man, that is so cool, I don't drink either
based young thot
stupidest non realistic fantasy I've heard. Why does she like bar hopping but not drinking?
I assumed that she is just a little bawd or something and didn't give much thought into it.
>what is a BPD femaleprostitute telling you what you want to hear
Right? Anyone would want such a based beverage in their veins.
i met a lot of "gym rats" who go to party and drink like twice a week. Barely have any sleep on the rest days (sunday and saturday) and they come to me asking "why are they not progressing?" because they look the fricking same as one year ago (skinny fat at best). Told them alcohol and not sleeping well on rest days was the reason and they told me im crazy because they know "SOME GUY" who parties with them and looks better than me, they mention the guy and it was someone who got banned from the gym for selling steroids in the bathroom. Overall lesson just fricking party and drink if you like it but WHO THE FRICK GOES EVERY WEEK???
sometimes drinking makes me do better in social settings... but sometimes it doesn't, no matter how much i drink. and sometimes I can have fun and be out-going and funny and confident with no drinks.
i struggle with finding the causality. being hangover and losing the entire next day sucks ... so I'd like to be sober.
>being hangover and losing the entire next day sucks
>Not doing a rollover
ngmi
I fricking love booze.
true
Alcohol is the last cope of the undisciplined lifter. The final boss. Beat this gains goblin israelite and there is nothing in your way anymore
>kills my sadness
your calories deficit
Your body doesn’t consume the majority of calories in liquor.
Any Bombay chads ITT?
In moderation it does none of that
yea, just get stoned like a normal person
Or you could just drink at the occasional social event/meal, and practice moderation.
Since my cat of 16 years died last November I've been a near daily drunk.
It's killed my gains, calorie deficit, and probably fricked my test and liver. My whoop shows my sleep has been really fricking good though, just shit recovery (higher resting bpm, lower hrv).
Before I had a dead cat I would have a 50-55 resting heartrate, and now it's up to like 65 all from drinking daily.
I usually wake up pretty fricking good though assuming I get a normal amount of sleep.
