Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, and Relationship Advice.

I disagree with this premise, its just not true. I've had plenty of friends over the years who are the epitome of good in every way but just can't handle their drink, especially when we indulged in the liquor.

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

I do assume people know when to say when. If I drink too much liquor I get sloppy. So I don't drink liqour often. Maybe a few drinks at most over a long period of time to keep myself in check. I refuse to not accept accountability for my actions because I can blame them on drinking. If one can't handle their drink then they need to be aware of that and manage it. If people can't handle themselves while having drinks I guess that's why I call them idiots.

 

No, and he's killed more people than you too. LOL

I have an EXTREMELY low tolerance for what booze does, and if it's somebody I know well it's very obvious and irritating.

 

Likewise, but needed is the key. If the Steelers are showing some hard suck on a Sunday the pace may increase. But then I'm in bed by 8.

 

As long as we know that alcoholism is not symptom, but a disease.

Many in my family are alcoholics to the degree that they can not push the bottle away. The bottle cap is useless.

I'm a clinical alcoholic, according to the medical industry, but I don't have a problem leaving the bottle for another day.

Plus, the hangovers are too painfully and I don't have time to nurse a hangover the next day.

 

Well you called them idiots when they're sober also, so there is that.

 

Nope. Not a disease. Will never accept that. It's a choice to start. Genes and personality may make it harder for some, but that first drink that starts the path to alcoholism is 1000% a choice. Alcoholics are not victims. They made bad choices.

 

As long as we are allowed our opinions, I'm fine with your reply.

 

She's gonna need a little and some Luther Vandross in the background to handle that beast

 

That's cuz you were drinking that White Claw crap and thought you had somehow became a master of the Tiger Claw style of Shaolin Kung Fu

 

...or does it make them behave like their actual selfs as they no longer care about putting up any fronts to blend in w/what society expects of them??? IE>>> reduced inhibitions of their actual character make up

 

Absolutely!

 

I gotta use this one in the future

 

That would kill you. Your wife would hate you.

 

While we are on this topic I think we can all agree that not all alcohol is created equally, and different results may apply individually. As an expert, and sometimes a victim of my own circumstances, I stay away from elixirs that cause fury and destruction in the end. My favorites include whiskey and the all time favorite of destruction, Sambuca.

 

Twelve? That's a lot of Rangers.

 

How about a nice relaxing local wildlife pic.

 

Thank you

 

I appreciate this stance.

I think we have the same notion, but coming at it from a different point of view - or life experience.


my issue = you can't become someone you are not. If I lower your inhibitions, you become who you are hiding (the mask).

some of us, don't have much of a mask, and become jovial and fun. I get sleepy.

some get angry, divisive, argumentative or <the worst ones> become super manly and aggressive.

some start wanting attention (girls).

regardless...all of us keep some shit hidden deep. Humans do that. Maturity keeps it hidden.
Alcohol loosens that up & sometimes allows it to come out. <it was in you>

I think the trick to drinking is to have already sorted yourself out.


Now, lather in social media(SM). and the mess gets exponentially worse.

SM teaches/programs folks that they are special. and that's a heavy mask to wear. splash some alcohol on that fire. and you become who you think you are.

I am not, by any means, disparaging drinking alcohol.

I AM disparaging folks that can't keep their shit together when they do imbibe.







see...I did all that without including the word --> IPA .

 

This.

the folks that change the most, while drinking, are the ones that have the biggest mask.

they are deeply conflicted.
