How to start drinking?

[SampSon]

You really have to ask about how to drink?

No, you don't, this is a thinly veiled "look at what I'm accomplishing" thread.

Good for you man. Keep kicking ass. If you're reaching for the upper echelon of your career set, then go with a more appropriate drink... Like single malt scotch, craft single barrel bourbon, martinis.

I'm partial to scotch. It all depends if you like the brown stuff or not.

and of course, pot, is a way better choice, but it's just gonna make you lazy/or your gonna get caught.... alcohol is the choice of the accomplished businesman.. pot's for people in college/trying to get by.

not hating on pot.. just saying there's a time and a place.. and it's not, when your a young professional, and trying to succeed.. peers hate it, the law hates it.. just doesnt make sense.

This is why you were a pill popper.

What is the appropriate way to enjoy such snobbery?

Yea, because philosophy often takes 7 years to graduate.

EE here.. takes about 5 years.

EE is cool; Transactions of IEEE has some overlap with my interest in technology transfer.

ERP's?

 

[Dr. Zaus]

ERP's?

yea and university tech transfer.

I have a theory that a lot of people with autistic traits find their niche in engineering academia but fail to transfer their technology because they are poor at socialization; I've i'm right I can offer a new construct that mediates the relationship between ingenuity and technology transfer AND help improve society by making exploitable more technology.

If I'm wrong I'll just write some shit about how people like to work for companies that don't murder dolphins and get tenure on the back of trolln' the academic community while appealing to their basic liberal nature.

i can appreciate your trying to lose weight, and good luck to you, but that sig is too long.

{there, i said it

 

[uclaLabrat]

You're in a PhD and you don't drink much? Damn. Booze to celebrate the highs and wash away the lows....all my problems are soluble in ethanol

Why bother? Neither drinking nor being a dope head reduces stress.

 

[Old Hippie]

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

LOL!

Craziest thing I've ever heard.

 

[SlitheryDee]

I would start with a 6-pack per night and increase the dosage as your tolerance increases.

[Saint Nick]

That is one thing I hate about the stigma of pot. Its associated with "lower income" stereotypes, such as college attendees and those not in well-paying positions of employment. I'm pretty sure a boat load of doctors and lawyers smoke pot, hell, I'm sure some people in Congress do...

But maybe they're more partial to nose candy since they can afford that.

 

[TwiceOver]

Former pot head, occasional drinker. After not smoking pot for so long I realize how disconnected with reality nearly all pot smokers are.

Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Don't forget the thinly veiled "I'm better than you, I don't have to drink" part of it

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

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.

Umm... I didn't say anything about sex or jerking off. Not sure where you got that from. I said exercise... or maybe a massage. And by massage I meant the $65/hr kind where they bring the table to your house and only one of you takes your clothes off.

Relax...

15ml pure ethanol.

Seriously, most alcoholic drinks taste terrible, just cut to the chase.

When my first company was failing after putting 2 years of hard, though misguided, work into it I thought I might become a drunk for fun.

I downed about a cup of ever-clear.... realized what I just did, put the booze up and didn't drink again for about 4 years.

Ever-clear did make a good astringent.


I find that if someone feels that they are being told an idea slyly, in a code, it isn't a reflection upon the idea transmitter but the receiver.

Which clearly means I didn't think I was more accomplished than you or better than you for not drinking... until you told me that's what you think of yourself.

My lab does research using brain data obtained from dyslexics. The subject had to take stroop test and the collected data was then used to predict dyslexia among children.

Citation form an old work.. before I began working in the lab.

That's amazing. My lab eats her poop.

 

[IronWing]

This just seems apropos.

Noble work

 

[BladeVenom]

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.

Good advice. I like Rum or Cognac. In addition to being great to add to whatever you're already drinking, they are both handy to have around when cooking.
