Anyone else try this at least monthly?

Anyone else on ATOT ever use alcohol to put them to sleep, so they can get to sleep earlier in the night?
*Here comes the double shots of AA*


As a side note, delusional parents = teh suck.

I've tried, but end up enjoying myself too much to snooze If I drink enough to make staying up impossible, the next day will be worse than if I didn't get enough sleep.

Buy a bottle of AA. Drink 8 Molson XXX at the bar (for $1/each), then take out 2/3 of a fifth of AA. Do this after having eaten only one bagel all day. You'll be ready for bed.

*past the 1/2 mark, approaching the 2/3 mark on my bottle*

The real trick is to take the sleeping pills AND drink a lot.

hasnt it been shown that your body doesnt "rest" as well when it is trying to process alcohol? for me, one or two drinks will make me have a hard time falling asleep. enough of them though, and ill pass right out

Well, I am not as young as I used to be and got tired of feeling like sh!t the next day, after boozing!

Well, I had a full week of college that I could only sleep at most 3 hours at a time, and I was averaging under 2 hours out of 24. A liter of Jaeger later on a Friday night, and I got 9 straight hours (then I woke up to piss).

It works well for me.

I'd agree with that, when I get fairly hammered I don't get very restful sleep, even if I didn't drink enough for a hangover.

For me (and judged subjectively), 1 hour of passed-out-drunk = 2+ hours of normal sleep. I can be passed out for 4 hours and wake up feeling better than if I slept for 8 hours.

Admittedly, I have never tried this for more than 19 days at a time (and that was a trip to Ireland).
