How to start drinking?

[zanejohnson]

Oh man that stuff is ruthless

it is... i can drink a 6 pack of michelob ultra, and be fine the next day.. couple of steel 40's, and i'm on the toilet the next morning..and/or acting like a drama queen.. it's just rotgut..to the max..cant' do it anymore..

Just grab a wine, and drink casually half of the bottle. You will sleep very well.

This is the major problem; I've got 3 hours of free time a day and then sleep... and I need to not be angry (already have fat-asshole temper problems) and pot makes me slow for days, and hungry and I hear voices in my head telling me things...

I'd try wine, a glass or two in the evenings can help relax you without negative effects and actually gives some health benefit.

Speeding is a crime too but people do it all the time. Also, is Los Angeles, both possession of herb (under an ounce) and speeding are infractions (but the financial penalty for speeding is far greater). Kinda funny huh?

yeah it's stupid. but it's the laws in this country.... i hate it too, i'd love to smoke a j after i get home and it's relaxation time.. sadly.. if i do that, i run the risk of being arrested..just not worth it.

Hum... What's a good wine? I had some port, it sucked bad (though it was Jesus flavored); I had some wine?.. it was sweet and tasted like koolaid and was light pink... I didn't like the headache.

if it was pink and tasted like coolaid it was probably a champagne, was it carbonated?

personally.. (and i'm a weird one on this) i like merlot's, or blush..

brother says it was white zinfandel and it was free and it was served in a plastic dixi cup in the lobby of a cut-rate hotel.

merlot's, or blush.

Hum...

wine has the opposite affect on me. It keeps me awake. and turns my poo green.
Scotch knocks me out, but the hangover lingers.

Hum...

white zinfandel is a sangria 🙂 simalar to a blush, its basically what you mostly find in "box wine," it's cheap, but has a huge following....wiki it 🙂

good stuff, dont drink too much, the hangover is a little harder than a light beer

merlot's (pronounced merLOW, is the deep purple grape/plum wines you always see in movies, stuff looks/texture of almost grape juice)

 

[Ticky]

beer apply directly to the face

Your PhD director is an idiot. If you've made it this far in life without drinking look for something else to reduce stress. Exercise of any kind comes to mind. Or go get a massage or something.

try the domestic beers first, then try other beers.

Sure it's not the best advice in case he goes overboard, but a drink or three every once in a while never hurt anybody. Coming from someone who exercises every day, which is also a great suggestion - go run a few miles and you'll feel fantastic for the rest of the night. Keep it up every day and stress just disappears.

A whiskey or brandy and coke sounds amazing right now though :thumbsup: That would be my suggestion. Mixed about 4 or 5 : 1 it tastes way better than plain coke somehow.

I have sex very regularly with my wife... I don't need to jerk off; thank you. (give it another 3 years of marriage, then we'll talk about 'messages')_

as for exercise.. I'm burning the calories that my time allows.

Exercise at 10pm means sleep at 3am.

 

[Dr. Zaus]

I like futurama so I'm going to try this:
Failing that, get some decent sipping scotch/bourbon/whiskey

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Wait, you're telling me massage = sex? All these years I've been doing it wrong?

no happy ending means not a real message...

at least that's what they told me when I was working at a gay massage parlor.

 

[crashtestdummy]

I am highly stressed and the director of my Ph.D. program suggested that the best option would be to start drinking.

Any suggestions?

Haha. I have a friendly bet with one of the professors in my department (not my advisor) about whether I'll survive without coffee. I'm three years in, still going, but the worst is yet to come I feel. It gets real tempting on late nights like this drawing up reports.

You've started on your drinking project, haven't you. You sly devil.

Why would you do that? ... That's irrational.

Sometimes a power-nap is required (ie energy drink and immediate 1*1/2 hour nap) good for the day!


wait.. no..

Meth is cheating: ass.

No; but posting on ATOT is inebriating

I occasionally drink, but never ever fell into the trap.. known as coffee/soda. I still have a lot of time left to finish my Ph.D though.

Yea, because philosophy often takes 7 years to graduate.

Screwdrivers (Vodka + Orange Juice) as suggested earlier. That's one thing I can drink without much fuss. I'm a pussy when it comes to the taste of alchy.

And it's nutritious.
