There never were any good excuses for DUI, but these days literally everywhere is a $10 Uber ride away

When I was stuck in rehab the counselor told me that one blackout is normal but if you have two you have substance abuse issues. That's two in your whole life. Like when I was 17 and didn't know my tolerance and when I was 23 and just got back from deployment. That fact alone made me an alcoholic.

that seems llike a really low number. i used to black out 2 times a week and i only mildly hosed my life from alcohol. if two in your life is the standard then i should be sucking dick and stealing copper for money.

I almost failed the entire program because I refused to agree with him and he was using that as his standard to call me a substance abuser.

Yeah, that's a dumb criteria. I used to get black out drunk once a week when I was younger, but then never drank during the week. This is not indicative of good life choices but it's not like that solely makes you a burden on society.

I don't get that drunk any more because I'm an old, but it would be at least every New Years up to my mid-30s, and once or twice a year in addition to that up until I was 30. And it's not that I don't like getting completely poleaxed anymore, but in your early 40s, the feeling you experience for the next couple of days is not loving worth it.

I once woke up in a field on Fort Ord tied to a chair after a hell of drinking session with some peeps. A paramedic considerably less drunk than me was on a cot right behind me for my sitter. Apparently it's hard but not impossible to choke on your vomit in an upright position.

I'm pretty sure everybody that ever got sent to Korea qualifies as a substance abuser, then. It cracked me up when time came around for PHAs and every single person except for the loving Mormons lied, "Oh no I definitely don't have more than 4 drinks in one sitting." Gotta say, running an IV and then hitting up a diner for some A+ greasy lovely breakfast is a game-changer. Wake up (way too early), run a 1L bag of NS and sip on a sports drink, shamble your way to a breakfast joint and stuff your face, go back to bed and collapse for 2-3 more hours. poo poo's like magic.

Memento posted:That's retarded. I've only been black out drunk a few times. I got blackout drunk on my cruise in May. It took the entire next day til drat near dinner for me to feel like I wasn't dying. that was the first time since I was 23 (I'm 29 now). Before that, I was 17. I'm such an alcoholic. Truthfully it's because the times I drink are so few and far between even in my late teens and early 20s that I have no tolerance whatsoever. Plus I loving HATE the taste of all alcohol unless it's the fruitiest kool aid tasting drink you can find. So literally the only purpose for me to ever drink is to get drunk, otherwise I'm just sipping on something that tastes like poo poo. Apparently that made me look like even more of an alcoholic.

Stopped drinking liquor when I realized I was wasting half my off time recovering from hangovers. I also cannot stand throwing up so I just stick to lower alcohol beverages like beer or wine. Sweet poo poo is gross, grow up and get a little sophistication and drink wine. I recommend Boones myself.

There's a lot of sub $20 bottles of wine that are way better than boones. I've been enjoying a variety of reds from South American countries. It's been fun. Warning- if you get drunk on wine drink plenty of water and a Gatorade before bed, with a few aspirin. You'll feel less lovely the next day. Wine hangovers are.. terrible.

Godholio posted:Pedialyte > gatorade Seconded. That poo poo's designed to get you better after being heavily dehydrated, not just act as a slightly more effective version of water. The worst hangover I ever had involved zero alcohol, but after being outside in 105 heat all day for a music festival that wasn't responsible enough to have water on hand, I felt like I'd gone 12 rounds with a handle of Old Crow. Proved to me that the key to not having a hangover involves hydration and vitamins, and maybe some NSAIDs if your stomach can handle them.

You guys sound like TCC over booze. Like seriously some of your posts sounds just like the loving Jooze thread. Get help. "Nah my dude that psychologist doesn't know what they're talking about, I've blacked out every week through my twenties and I'm fine! It's the ARMY that hosed me up! Does anyone know where I can score more booze?"

Officials are unsure of the actual amount. It seems that the only thing that was able to keep Mr. DUI from driving drunk again was his death in 2008. Zeller fell asleep with a lit cigarette which caused the house fire that eventually killed him. Gee, you think?

I've been blackout drunk more times than I can remember. I started to sleep walk because hiding alcoholism and mixing it with sleeping pills is a bad idea. I once woke up, walked to the corner of the hallway, pissed on my father in laws Christmas card, went into bed and tried to sleep. I only know this because my wife heard me peeing and woke up and started yelling at me because I just shrugged my shoulders and fell back into the bed. Like literally fell. I came to standing up with her yelling at me and I just didn't know what the gently caress was happening. Beer and booze is fun sometimes, many times I wish I hadn't done things. My going away video had mention of me walking confidently up to a woman and giving her my friends number because we were talking about her and they were looking at each other. She called him. To explain that she was married. And her husband had just left to go to the bathroom. Edit: hats not bragging by the way. I'm ashamed of what I did drunk. Especially to the things I still don't know.

(AP) -- A 74-year-old Anderson man who's been arrested at least 400 times for drunken driving was sentenced Monday to 17 years in prison for his latest drunken driving conviction. I have no idea if this is bullshit or not. This article appears to have been mirrored on a number of other sites from that timeframe, though, and at least one local news site has an obituary for the same guy from 2007.
