It's never really been a thing for me. But I think maybe I should start buying some liquor and glasses and things and making a cocktail in the evenings.

What do you say?

The idea of making cool cocktails and having all the tools of the trade and it being fun sounds neat at first, but after time you eventually just end up pouring some bourbon in a normal glass and drinking it because you turned into an alcoholic.

Can I still walk my dogs when I've been drinking?

I am in the USA, after all. A country where drinking is supposed to be legal but has tons of laws that make it seem like its not. For instance, it is not legal to walk around drinking. It's not legal to be drunk while outside. But it is legal to be drunk in a bar. But it's not legal to leave the bar once you are drunk because now you are outside.

Drinking and driving should be illegal, of course.

it would be pretty cool idf there were places where it was okay to drink and drive imo, like not on normal streets, but like they should have Wet Roads like they do Toll Roads. Just pay a couple of bucks and drive at your own risk, no one gonna pull u over but also no one can get mad when u crash and die.

Alcohol can be vaped, but it looks really expensive and you can end up hospitalized if you get the amount wrong as vomiting won't help.

Just a warning, in case you're being honest about not drinking much before- When you say "yummy drink where I don't realize I'm drinking," eventually, someone will suggest a long island iced tea. Do not trust anyone who says that. They are being honest, because when it's made well, it's a yummy drink that masks the alcohol very well. However, it is made to get you drunk as hell. I guess the that should be amended to "do not trust anyone who says that unless you are looking to get drunk as hell". Basically what I'm saying is you should get a long island iced tea

I thought the LIIT was just grabbing the basic poo poo and putting a shot of each and then some coke? Like gin, rum, vodka and coke or something like that? I don't see how that could ever taste good.

It's surprisingly effective. The mismatched booze flavors confuse the palate so the mixer becomes the dominant flavor, despite how little there is of it in comparison. Pretty smart drink making, if the goal is to get hammered. Some might even say genius.

I thought the exact same before I had one and it's some kind of magic. I don't even like gin, and it's not just gin, rum, and vodka. It also has tequila and triple sec (cointreau or grand marnier if you're fancy) along with the mixer if they use one. The cola helps mix and cut it more and at the end you've got like 4 shots of alcohol in a glass that you can get down really easy. I don't understand it, but it's a dangerous drink and every new drinker should be aware of how potent it actually is

I found this image on the Internet, perhaps you've heard of it? It's been around for a while I hear.

There an interesting thread in E/N where someone questions how much is too much, and then gets called various insults for wanting to drink less. And then over some months it turned into more of a support thread for alcoholics. I stumbed across it last year and spent about 3 months reading it (it's been going on for 4+ years and had lots of posts). Gave me a lot of interesting insight into alcoholism, coping methods, support infrastructure, and what people have done with other or related addictions in their lives.

I don't drink that much, maybe 1-2 drinks total most weeks, but I do drink socially and now it's given me some behaviors and signs to watch out for in friends, for example. I also learned a lot about how people try and hide it, until it gets so bad that they can't or don't try anymore.

Consider the difference between social drinking and solo drinking.

Going social; find a favorite bar, pub, wine bar, etc. Maybe a place that has live music. Have a couple drinks, some food and chill with the scene.

Going solo, drinking while poo poo posting, etc is definitely a good route to follow to alcoholism.

If you have a spouse or partner that is not interested in drinking then I'd recommend not drinking at all.
