Nature Abhors A Vacuum


Thanks everyone for the suggestions and the condolences

Condolences friend <3

Now as for drinking, you’re gonna whanna pick up a 6 pack of tall boys, probably Narragansett, it’s a Rhode Island beer entirely from New York, you’re gonna love it. You’re gonna whanna smash all six of those buddies over, say, a 4 hour time span. At that point, and this is important, you’re gonna whanna go to the most active Mafia game you’re participating in, and just absolutely post up a storm.

Ok the next time I do not have my son and I am home alone I’m going to do this

I don’t really have any drinking advice outside of try everything

I will say that I can’t help but feel the two parts of your post are interrelated and really either one could have been the catalyst for the other.

Short version in spoilers

Both were Mormon. She left the church. I didn’t at the time. About the time I realized I was done with the church too and was ready to leave, she felt (despite having been telling me we were ok) that I had been putting the church in front of her and that she was done. So now I’m not Mormon either but also am getting a divorce.

Ok all that said now it’s time to go pick my soon to be ex wife up from the airport lmao

Condolences/Congratulations

I’ve been drinking since I was 19 and still have no loving idea what I’m doing. Avoid IPAs, I think they’re real bad. Try the following:

1 oz 151-proof Rum
1 oz Coconut Rum
4 oz Pineapple Juice

Half a bottle of 151 off in a jug
One cup of Malibu Rum, baby that's whassup then you
Fill the rest of the jug with pineapple juice and it's crackin'
The only defect is waking up like what happened

(I've never actually tried this but it sounds loving delicious)

I would not gently caress with 151 or anything else overproof

The distillery idea is cool, I went to Lost Spirits in Vegas which is a fancy rum distillery/tasting room and they had a cherry rum which was soo good

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

Also, for those of you who may not be aware of some Slord lore, I used to not drink! Now I drink! But I’m also 33 and new to drinking so I don’t super necessarily know where to begin so feel free to quote my posts with drink recs this game tia

Sending good thoughts.

Also may I suggest a Sandzerac, a New Orleans old fashioned that was a tribute to Sandwolf passing law school. Sazerac is the name of the real drink and it’s the best drink ever created. Also ignore the bartender, his wife behind camera and their friend sitting at the bar: we were very high when making this.

It's never too late to become Catholic slord. also don't let drugs and alcohol ruin your life like it almost did mine because it sucks and isn't worth it. I'm not saying don't do drug or alcohol mind you, but know the difference between self-control and self-out-of-control

Yeah this is good advice. I do think it’s a lot less likely to fall into a real bad way starting so late. You have like 15 years of sober adult brain patterns under your belt to fall back on, after all

Unless you are an adult leaving a repressive religious environment and are combining the exploration and rebellion that teenagers do with the income and savings of an adult.

That was my experience with my ex-wife at least.

congrats on listing the entire sum of what I drink when I go out

but also yeah the only other advice I have is that if you think you feel wobbly or your perception feels off, chug an entire bottle of water and stop drinking (or finish your drink and then do that, depending on how much is left). And then try to have more water over the next hour or two

hangovers aren't fun or cool and dehydration is the most acute danger if you aren't, like, getting blackout drunk (which has its own issues) or operating machinery you really shouldn't

oh also drinking on an empty stomach exacerbates the effects of alcohol, so if you're having a drink with a meal, try to wait till you actually have your food to start drinking

Yeah this reminds me, a piece of advice I could give is that when I started drinking I was super careful to avoid getting out of control or getting hangovers, so I drank a glass of water as every third drink (so standard drink, standard drink, water). You get slightly more full padding it out with water so you don't go overboard with the alcohol, and also you don't feel hungover in the morning!

If you do have a hangover, a lot of places sell dehydration tablets that you drop in a glass of water to rehydrate you. But you can make it at home yourself with a glass of water, dissolve some table salt in it, and add lemon or lime juice (the main contents of those tablets are just salt and sugar). Salt is an electrolyte and will help you retain the water in your system, which is why drunk people tend to crave salty foods.
