To get laid
Alcohol has probably lowered my IQ by 20 points. Devil's drink. Have lost 7 years to it.
>get drunk
>confident enough to flirt with girls
>take one to bed
>too drunk to get hard
learn to be confident without alcohol. At the end of the night you'll stand out while all the other guys at the bar are completely sloshed
>At the end of the night
Frick the end of the night, I'm not staying out sober. You'll stand out in your day to day life
I can be confident without alcohol I'm just even more confident with it.
This, a beer or two, let the competition defeat itself and remain lucid
>>take one to bed
>>too drunk to get hard
If you can't go 2-3 rounds after three beers you're very low T.
>three beers
How about ten?
this. there's no point in even going out drinking if I can't at least have 8 drinks minimum
Blue chew brother
How drunk do people get for it to interfere with sex?
>Alcohol has probably lowered my IQ by 20 points. Devil's drink. Have lost 7 years to it.
Drank myself into chronic pancreatitis. Nothing like knowing your pancreas is always on the verge of dying.
At least I'm forced to eat a healthy diet and stay away from booze.
Fricking sad degenerate c**t.
The alternative would be sitting around twiddling your thumbs. You lost IQ but you had fun doing it.
>7 years PLUS the years knocked off your lifespan
Same bro. I completely fricked my 20s up thanks to drinking every day, I went from fit debate champion with plans for Law school to a flunk-out alcoholic in the first year, I still don't have a career. I was a smart kid that thought he could get away with addiction, turns out I was a worthless dopamine addict all along..
Now I'm about to finish my Bachelors of Technology in GIS

Isn't that why you lift?
he means to have sex with women not with men
it’s an acquired taste like pussy lol you can’t relate tho
(cheggd)
kek, only real answer iit so far. people that call it poison or need it to get laid/drink away their sorrow don't know how to savour the little things in life
Savage
Because life is shit and alcohol temporarily makes it less shit.
makes it twice as shit the next day though
I feel perfectly fine the next day. There are lots of ways to avoid or mitigate a hangover.
not the way I drink
Well you get to decide what you drink lol. I stick to vodka and beer all night, maybe some Jägermeister here and there. I have half a bottle of vodka at pre-drinking and then usually drink beer throughout the rest of the night with the occasional shot and I'm always good to go on the next day.
Literally how
Like what? Besides water
Not binge drinking
I mean it's all common sense but a fatty meal before drinking can help. If you want to keep it really simple get a bag of electrolyte powder and chug that shit down with water before bed or first thing in the morning, that alone will make the biggest difference. 15 minute of getting some fresh air, some easily digestible food (eggs with toasted bread for example) and you should be good to go. To me the 2nd biggest thing after the electrolytes is getting good quality sleep, so before I go out I really make sure that when I get home my bedroom is ready, nice, cool temperature, blinds are closed, no disturbances.
drink again in the morning
>I feel perfectly fine the next day
How old are you? I didn't get hangovers until my late 20s. Now I'm in my mind 30s but rarely drink and never get smashed so I haven't been hung over in a very long time. But if I did get drunk I'm sure id feel awful the next day.
Not really, it just goes back to the normal level of shittyness
There is no "next day", you just keep drinking.
Drink to catch a buzz, there is no reason to get drunk or blackout.
yeah if you chug beer like it's water all day and then down it with whiskey like a moron. you won't feel like shit if you drink sane ammounts of alcohol.
alcohol aint gonn fix your life problems.
no it's not, but it sure makes dealing with them easier
fixing your problems will bring unimaginable relief
Beer tastes good
Said no one ever
Guinness Milk Stout tasted good. That's the only one though.
Maybe not American beer. But I can sure as shit tell you on a 45degree (Celsius) day when the sun blinds you and the ground cooks you from beneath, nothing better than an ice cold Aussie beer
Bier schmeckt gut mitt ein Wurst oder mitt ein Schnitzel. Ich liebe ein Kartoffel salad mitt ein Pilz im Sommer. Dünkel oder Bock Bier im Winter, Rotbier im Herbst, Pilz im Frühling und Sommer.
Tastes like piss
>drinks bad beer
Sounds like baby never tried to having a good beer.
Googoo gaga homie
>This guy has never had a good brown ale
Shame
love me a good brown ale. My favorite beer is an esb.
I like giving up a little control on the weekends (I can do this because I can trust myself not to do any stupid shit no matter how drunk I am), be a bit more uninhibited, shoot the shit and not give a frick, it creates the balance I need so I can focus on work during the week.
Ok wait until you are at least 30

You deserve it kek
Sounds like it's time to end the marriage anon. Lol some men willingly relinquish control and power to a woman lol
>financially stuck in a hellish facade marriage and career I hate every single fricking day
My one true nightmare, Jesus frick anon I hope you’re able to get out of that someday
If you don’t mind me asking how do you know it’s a facade marriage and why did you get into it

Okay shlomo
Because not everybody is Muslim.
Drinking at home alone is moronic but drinking around other people is great.
this.
Also if youre still in school. Try to see how much you can drink before people notice.
Start with one beer in the morning and work your way up as high as possible..
I was super skinny in highschool so people noticed at 1.5 liter beer.
>Drinking at home alone is moronic but drinking around other people is great.
Im a super introverted hermit, but when I drink I become an extreme extroverted chad.
If I drink at home alone (rare) I will get an uncontrollable urge to leave my home and go out partying.
So, I don't drink alone at home. I only drink at home if I have plans to go out later and I need to get a bit of a buzz for confidence before going out. I'm living in a foreign country with no friends so I go out alone and make new friends during the night, but I really need alcohol and other substances to switch my brain into chad mode before going out.
Also, I'm 44 and I've always been a no more than one day a week drinker my whole life. But when I drink I always get drunk and bad hangover the next few days which makes me not want to drink again for a long time. The only times I've drunk daily is when I've gone overseas on holiday and was going out every night on the town, so I was obviously trying to make the most of my holiday.
Having said all that, the last time I drank alcohol was in early January. Then, since then there was a covid wave, so I stayed home and started a 6 month cut. I was just focusing on losing fat and being healthy. I got down to somewhere between 10 and 12% bodyfat according to calipers and the navy method. I can see some upper abs and lower ab veins that I usually get when I'm lean. Now, I'm "maingaining" back the muscle I lost on the cut. Once I get the muscle back and then some, so that I don't look like a DYEL swimming in my clothes, I will start going out partying again every couple of weeks. I'm starting to get that itch to go out again.
They have friends to drink with
I don't have friends and I drink alone at home

How many dips for Bavarian gf?
GOD NO
Don't fantasize about that, trust me

Everyone copes with how gay life is in one way or another. Alcohol is one of the most popular ways
You shouldn't drink to cope with life. Praying to God is infinitely more effective. Since becoming a Christian I feel like nothing in life can shake me, because I realise that God is always with me.
Having a drink everynow and again to relax and unwind is exactly what God intended alcohol to be used for - not to get drunk, and unable to control yourself.
I think a lot of people just do it out of boredom honestly
I used to think I had a drink addiction, until I realized I was just drinking when bored. Quitting was easy
makes me feel happy for once
the sooner u realize that ur body is perishable and no matter how healthy u live u can still die from other bullshit and tomorrow is not guaranteed. enjoy ur life but practice moderation in all things, i wouldnt look down on u if u managed to do heroin and be functional. u’d be a will power god.
you should practice having sex in moderation lol
where can i find that?
>tfw going to OD
beer can taste alright and it's only good if you're with friends anyway
Because up until recently you couldn't make a living by selling furry wiener vore for $50 per image. It was either do menial work and die at 50 if you're lucky or don't work and be dead by the end of the month. Up until 120 years ago 95% were not educated beyond basic arithmetics and a 3rd grade reading level while they had to farm manually to survive. And it's been like that since the time of the agricultural revolution so something like 12000 years. The times before that weren't exactly rosy either with a shit ton of larger predators around that would frick our shit up regularly. Considering that, alcohol was just simply the easiest and most widely available cope there was to escape that shitty reality and make it more bearable for a few hours.
>Considering that, alcohol was just simply the easiest and most widely available cope there was to escape that shitty reality and make it more bearable for a few hours.
More like it's because you can store beer/wine for long periods. You can't store/carry water for a very long time without it going bad, people were making fermented beverages long before distillation was common and it would take a ton to "get drunk" and even after distilling became mainstream it was still used for this purpose. Oceanic sailors used to mix rum into their drinking water on long voyages to prevent it from getting stale (growing microbes) and making the crew ill.
if dark souls series games didnt have at least one poison level it wouldn't be a good game so dark souls is like life in many ways...
bars are the only place I can easily meet women. Used to be a heavy drinker though so I I try to keep it to only one night a month now
ninth decile chad reporting in
To escape from a shitty reality that we live in. If you need to drink to be around people (friends, potential frick buddy, etc) then you are admitting that you actually don't like the person/people.
Not drinking is a cope meme made by big water.
My only issue with it is that it makes it hard for me to lose fat but I love the taste and working in a bar/distillery I get loads of free tasty high quality booze
Now yuo see
For the same reason that animals will eat fermenting fruit, and little kids will spin around until they're falling down dizzy.
It's a fricking sickness. I recently quit for like a week after years of nightly drinking, and then I started again like a loser. Attempting to quit again tonight or tomorrow. I hate it so much.
those fat breasts make me less racist.
Just laying my cards out on the table, being both an alcoholic and a coomer
I like Pina Coladas and you won't stop me from drinking them OP.
I make it myself as my family has done for generations and I drink it cause it tastes good, simple as
Alcohol is negative calories. So instead of stuffing my face with chips, I'll sip on some alcohol to satiate my appetite and craving to be doing something. Also feels good that my body expends more calories processing the alcohol than from the calories it could attempt to extract from it.
this would only be the case if you were drinking pure ethanol, in which case you would probably die
I usually sip on dry scotch, so it's not much different than ethanol + water + whatever notes are in it.
As a guy who drinks way too much beer, I'd love to believe this but it sounds like alcoholic cope
Wrong.
You're referring to the thermic effect of food, which for alcohol is around 1-2 kcal/g. However, alcohol provides about 7 kcal/g, so it still provides a net positive caloric intake. This is unaffected by the concentration.
On the other hand, ice water requires energy to bring it up to body temperature; 1 L of ice-cold water consumes 37 kcal.
Solid ice also has to melt, which uses even more calories. 1 kg of ice consumes 117 kcal (80 cal/g heat of fusion, 1cal/gC specific heat capacity * 37C).
how many calories does an ice bath burn then
That's a bit more complex since there's no easy endpoint at body temperature like there is when you consume the water.
But if you really want to know, here's how you could measure it:
1. Weigh solid ice out
2. Prepare an ice bath with a known volume of water of a known temperature
3. Leave it out for as long as your bath would be
4. Drain (strain?) and weigh remaining solid ice
5. Weigh some more solid ice out
6. Prepare an ice bath with the same volume of water at the same temperature
7. Take the bath
8. Drain and weigh remaining solid ice
The first bath approximates how much heat comes in from the air, the sides of the tub, etc.
The difference in heat change between the two baths is the heat input from your body, which is equal to calories burned
Rather than straining and weighing you could also try to time how long it takes for all the ice to melt to establish two rates and then the difference is the rate of calorie expenditure
rummies are more sensitive than weedgays lol
admit you have a problem and stop doing it loser
I like to crank open a cold one after I lift
When I used to drink I was carefree and happy because I would love life between one drink and another ,now that I'm barely drinking it's all so slow my mind is blasted with thoughts and I think I became kinda depressed when I'm alone ,on the other hand my body looks better I guess so I don't even know if stoping being alcoholic was worth it...
take the substances pill anon, stop giving a shit and do whatever you want
Pretty much the only way people talk to me is if either I'm a drink or two in, or we both are. Sucks to suck but it is what it is
Any reason in particular why you wouldn't want to poison yourself, anon?
Euphoria.
why do people eat vegetables, all of them have literal poison in them.
Beer is unhealthy but it's not poison like other alcoholic drinks and coke.
>it's not poison like other alcoholic drinks
the alcohol is the poison. beer has alcohol
What's the worst booze?
I'd say beer because of how much you have to drink just to have any effect. Guys drink like 12-18 beers a night.
Gin.
Everything is a poison in the right dose. You can poison yourself with water.
Don't drink a Norfload of beer, don't experience negative health effects. Wow amazing.

They sure sure 45g of alcohol is considered low dose?
That is about 3 standard drinks if my math is right
Yes, but never heard 3 drinks are low dose
2 drinks is the recommended daily limit for men as it has negligible health effects. I don’t think 3 is that much higher tbqh, but I’d like to see the study don’t on test levels and 2 standard drinks.
So this explains why anti beer lads are so whiny they are all low test, and why beer chads slay since they get constant test boosts

This explains why every natty lite or busch drinker is a chad. It's basically water with a hint of alcohol.

Poison to cure poison
I got plastered off of 6 beers today, so let me put my two cents in.
Alcohol gives me a sense of euphoria that i hardly ever experience when sober. I drink it to stave off the feeling of FOMO, in the sense that my weekend time is flying by too quickly for me to have any fun, and alcohol basically slows down time a bit so I can convince myself that I made the most out of my weekend. I am fully aware that this is a horrid addiciton, but thankfully I don't drink during the workdays. I'm pretty confident my gains are down the tubes due alcohol, but my brain keeps kekking me out of doing what is right and staying off the shit. Just another mental mountain for me to conquer I suppose.
>there are >"people" who drink ze piss water ITT
man and I though /LULZ/ was full of losers.
Fun
It reduces your inhibitions so you can act out, and if something goes wrong you can just blame the alcohol.
druk shat the bed with gf next to me
what to much pfeffi does to a homie

jawohl
That's why you should be taking NAC about half an hour before drinking. And drink only in moderation. Anything more is degenerate and will lead to poor health. Moderation is key.
look at modern world
wanna poison myself
whats so hard to understand
I like it.
dissociative effect
some of it tastes good, getting drunk can be fun, no actual negative health effects unless you really overdo it (if you have no self-control then you should kys anyway) so why the frick not?
because life is short and suicide is too final
It's FUNNY poison.
Why do some people exist sober? It's poison on the mind if you're above 110 IQ
Because alcohol confidence is literally the only way I've been able to pull girls
I went on a first date 100% sober once and it was a disaster

Its good that you are on your way to a better life you will frick up again cause it sounds like you don't want to admit you have a problem. Instead you blame alcohol like everyone goes down your path when in reality literally anything can do this to you since you can't admit its your own fault. Another thing will come up where you lose control and once again you will blame something or someone else.
No, I fully acknowledge the problem lies in my inability to self-moderate. I've just decided that a totalist approach is my best option.
Can you blame me for using some vitrol in describing my vice in a bid to harden myself against it?
Oh in that case sorry. I am dumb and assume the worst in people here on IST. Please continue to push forward towards that brighter future anon
that's your fault for being a fricking homosexual with no self-control, literally everyone who calls alchohol poison is some moron that gets addicted to literally everything and can't enjoy things in moderation, a sad existence
how the frick do you even get addicted to beer of all things, don't you have anything better to do? I might get drunk maybe once or twice a month or less but it's definitely not something I would want to do each day
>how the frick do you even get addicted to beer of all things
>I definitely can't do that!
>Me me me!
>I am better!
Although the anon is sad for losing himself, you are a soft pussy b***h for kicking people who are down. You might as well punch some guy in a wheelchair and tell everyone how badass you are. Trying being more objective and not turn the story into how great you think you are, you insecure frick
I am being objective, all these Black folk calling alcohol poison and trying to pass it a fact simply because they can't control themselves aren't and I see that way too often
>I am being objective
>Still can't understand why someone would get addicted to alcohol
>Look at me! Im not addicted!
the anon is right, you an insecure homosexual that can't even admit to being dumb
my comment about how stupid being addicted to beer is seems to have struck a nerve, I wonder who really is the insecure homosexual here
>my original post was about something that is quite common but im either too dumb to realize this or i really want everyone to tell me im special for not being like alcoholics
>n..no! you're insecure!
which one is it moron? are you a moron or insecure? even if you dont answer, you will know for sure you are one of these 2 now that someone has pointed it out
my original comment was also about how pretty much EVERYONE who calls alcohol poison is an idiot with no self-control which means alcohol really isn't a poison and most people can enjoy it with no problems
even if you think addiction is "common" it doesn't make it any less dumb
the rest is you seething over a comment I made about common sense behavior using myself as an example
>the rest is you seething
the only one seething is you since everyone told you that you aren't special and a massive homosexual for wanting some kind of special award for not being an alcoholic
>everyone told you
literally who you schizo, it's just you
your post is such a huge projection holy shit, you're the only one thinking I wanted an award or whatever
says a lot about you that you even think people would consider not being an alcoholic that can't enjoy a fricking beer in moderation some big feat
>says a lot about you
>its just you, you schizo
>you are the only one
>you
>projection
>why cant you just tell me im special for not being an alcoholic!
if its just me then why are you still here? face it, you seething and coping hard here. No one gives a frick if you drink, smoke, exercise, whatever. nobody gives a frick about someone who tries to draw attention to themselves like you homosexual
lmao keep projecting and seething my dude
keep bragging about how you arent an alcoholic anon! im sure everyone is going to give you the special attention you want
it literally is poison though, nobody would disagree with that. Your body immediately works on flushing it out of your system as soon as it enters your body. Doesn't matter if you had one drink or ten
>t. regular drinker
>how the frick do you even get addicted to beer of all things
alcohol is an addictive substance, it doesn't matter what kind of drink it is. It just takes beer and wine drinkers longer to develop a drinking problem than people who drink hard liquor

Because I can’t stop
Problem with alcohol is it is brutally difficult for many to drink responsibly, and end up getting addicted and drinking to suppress/numb their life pains. For this reason alone I'm not a fan of it, even though I do enjoy a beer every once in a while. Though I haven't had for 2 years since I moved away from my friends, and I dont miss it at all (which I thank god for because I've seen how my father cannot go one day without it). I am probably going to give it up altogether. Chilled coke or Pepsi satisfies that craving for me that a beer does just as well.
>Its so hard to drink alcohol that everyone I know is an alcoholic
>I went 2 years without it!!!
>Soda does the same thing that beer does
holy frick you sound like a massive homosexual
Lol alchies so triggered when you post shit about enjoying being sober.
Fact of the matter is if you need booze/drugs to have fun you are actually the loser. Unironically true. But you won’t realize this until you sober up for longer than a week and learn to enjoy life without drugging yourself. I used to drink myself into the ground every weekend cuz of fomo and when I finally stopped I realized what a waste it all was.
>there is no other possible explanation other than everyone here is alcoholic!
>it cant possibly be true that we are homosexuals for wanting special attention for not taking drugs!
whats next? wanting an award for staying out of jail?
It turns off the part of my brain that overthinks everything and convinces me to b***h out of doing anything I want to do.
When you find some good shit it not only tastes good but the drunkenness is really enjoyable. You literally just have to be responsible, that’s it, literally adulthood 101.
That being said, don’t drink every day, try and keep it to social outings and special occasions. Though, there is many an old-fart that swears by one glass of wine or glass of liquor a day and those fricks are old af.
slow motion suicide
I haven't given up alcohol completely yet but I'm pretty done with beer
>gut-inducing
>grain sludge
>not even high ABV
wine is superior in every way, beer was made for Sumerian/Egyptian peasants and wine from Greco-Scythian warriors
one drink isn't gonna kill you my dude.
even back in the golden days of tradwife primitive living that you probably idolize so much dudes were boozing hard
if you really take the time to reflect on it you'll come to realize you don't even like how booze makes you feel. you're really just chasing the effects of the first few doses you had, which will never come back.
Alkohol was a legal way for me to get away from the reality of growing up and taking responsability. Instead i became a shut in neet that drank every evening and shitposted, wasting years of my best years in life away.
I regret it to this day that i live in this country where alcohol is that cheap and easily to get. Destroyed my life. I now suffer the consequences of years of supressed feelings and anguish over the things i could have and lost, on how i treated people. How i let down the people i love. This kinda broke me into pieces, but as of right now i am collecting the pieces and putting them together with the help of medication, therapy soon hopefully, and complete and utter abstinence from alcohol. Don't go down that route. The bottle always seems easier but it is a false promise. Alcohol is evil, and the cheaper the alcohol is in your country, the more your state hates you. (See: Germany, 6 pack of beer for 1,69€)
unironically this but with the internet instead of alcohol
it's a sad hobby. It anesthetizes the brain, does not register any memory and prevents reasoning. And a time killer. I prefer to discover/do interesting things... I've drunk a lot, now at 34 I regret it. No benefits, only damage.
Yep, luckily 34 isn't really that old
It's a cheap and easily accessible method of enjoying oneself. Sure, it's not healthy to go overboard with drinking, but it's also silly to demonize it and pretend that you're so much better than other people for not drinking.
Anons who don't drink like to delude themselves into thinking they're delaying gratification for some later, greater gratification, but they're not. Their excessive self-discipline isn't going to lead to any transcendent greatness or fame or whatever it is they think is going to fill that autism-sized whole in their souls. In fact, they likely will never even be friends with anyone who achieves extreme greatness or fame. And yet they're willing to sacrifice small enjoyments like drinking with friends—enjoying being young and in the company of others while doing so—for some abstract idea of discipline and success that, even if they achieve it, will likely render them less satisfaction than having had some enjoyment along the way. I've experienced the wealth, position, and professional success that comes with later adulthood, but I'd be willing to trade most of it away to be able to travel back in time to when life was new, exciting, and I was enjoying myself with friends, often with alcohol. Of course you can forgo experiences like these, but honestly you should take advantage of them while you still can. There's always time to be boring and alone when you're old, no sense wasting your youth in austerity as well.
Alcohol may be "poison," but it's also fueled some of the greatest societies in history. Egyptians drank beer. The ancient Greeks and Romans drank win. The history of England and the United States goes hand in hand with alcohol, while all the shittiest cultures in world history—Muslims, Native Americans (prior to contact, and they invented nothing), etc.—are steeped in intentional or accidental alcoholic sobriety.
actually men who occasionally drink alcohol have stronger erections and are less likely to develop ED.
>occasionally is the key word
if you drink every single weekend you're just as gay as the homies that don't drink at all.
Because this world is fricking stupid
t. I came from the front page and I'm not fit
Why should i drink when i can use MDMA and LSD without dealing with any kind of hangover?
>MDMA
>no hangover
teach me master
>in the wild west guys were literally adding shit like gunpowder and acid to high proof alcohol to show how manly they were
>they only stopped when more women came to those remote settlements and told them what they were doing was disgusting
unironically just men wanting to appear tough, same with a lot of substance
I don't drink it since it dries out your skin and makes you look old
Because almost 2 years after my divorce i want to kill my self
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger bro
My ex wife took my strength in the divorce
You need to stop moping about it and get back on the horse. Get yourself out there.
She also took the horse in the divorce
Bavarian style wheat beer is the only alcohol I'll drink. Everything else is shit.
tastes good
I don't. Next question.
have cut down significantly on alcohol since hitting 30+years. the belly fat is harder to vanquish and the hang over seems to cling harder with age.
favorite beers were coors banquet, gennesee, PBR and that torpedo. basically smooth nutty piss paired with shots of a nice bourbon.
I still drink on the weekends from time to time, albeit alone or for celebrating. but as time passes alcohol just makes be feel like a wistful, depressive oldgay
Same reason I sometimes eat rat poison
Rat poison is great for cutting weight.
Are people incapable of having 1-3 drinks, and calling it?
presumably if they were capable of that they would also leave IST
It's an addictive drug
Because I hate my wagie life and want to end it sooner, but I’m too much of a pussy to an hero because I don’t want my mom and dad to be sad.
Best thing about these threads is the amount of seethe from drinkers about non-drinkers, writing walls of text about benefits and moderation and how much their missing out on.
Thanks but I'm just not going to drink it.
To drown unbearable and inconciliable pain derived from a troubled past. Regret, shame, emptiness, collapse of self identity, self loathing and crippling depression/anxiety will push your mind to seek comfort in anything readily available. I know it is poison and it is destroying my mind and body, but the couple of hours of relief from the suicidal inducing thoughts already mentioned will overwhelm any sense and knowledge of self-destruction. I am in a non stop regret mindset, literally 24/7. The only thing that numbs this shit out is alcohol. If only there was a magic button that would end it all, without hurting loved ones (parents) I would’ve pressed it a long long time ago. If you have not gone through REALLY tough moments in life, you have no fricking clue what it is like, and how it absorbs EVERY single aspect of your consciousness, and how little by little it decays you until you feel like “butter spread over too much bread”. Yes, I hate my life, yes, I would love to end it all, but the hurt this would cause to my parents prevents me from going through with it, unfortunately. Don’t judge others, you don’t know the shite they are going through. And no, being fit has not helped one bit. Life is a b***h and a big joke.
I'm very sorry you're feeling that way, anon. What's going on? I'm struggling with a realization about myself that's too awful to put into words but which I don't see any easy out from, so as far as it goes, I can relate to where you're coming from. If nothing else, I have compassion for your situation. Keep your head up, king.
because I've never once been able to get laid not nearly black out.
It temporarily gives me the ability to verbally communicate with normies without hating myself.
