It's eerie, almost like your life is put on pause right at that moment that you lost the ability to properly absorb thiamine. All the memories from before aren't gone, but you're just not advancing past that hard stop.
Nick is an unreliable narrator. Only a balldo guarding moron believes what he says at face value.
I hope Nick has a polaroid camera and a pack of Sharpies.
Shouldn't be much longer.
Anyone who makes drinking an entire personality is a lolcow. No exceptions.
Teddy said Sammy didn't even have a wife. Leonard was investigating him for an insurance company and in fact uncovered the fact he was faking it.
To put Nick's drinking into perspective, by his own admission, he consumes 86.66 drinks per week.
If someone ate 86.66 candy bars a week, Nick would be the first one in line to drag them. Whether it’s drinks, drugs or food, it’s hard not to be disgusted by someone casually trashing their body.
True enough, never thought about it.
I’d suggest that might be related to why Nick feels the need to make so many fat jokes that aren’t even funny, but Nick really thinks he’s beyond reproach.
Considering the streams I've seen him on and where he drinks that much AFTER showing up already slurring his words, I seriously think he's actually underestimating it.
I love how Nick acted like a paragon of masculinity for years but his house is an absolute mess and his wife is a useless pill-popper who doesn't even clean or cook. He probably upped his drinking because larping as an e-daddy and going on about how great marriage is and how men should know how to cook brought so much cognitive dissonance on him when he walked upstairs to his wreck of a kitchen and slurped down some cold ramen and pre-packaged eggs like a stereotypical college student.
Where did Nick say that? He'd be going through almost 6 bottles of whiskey a week, almost a bottle a day. I cannot fathom that sort of alcoholism. Even when I was a fucking moron right after college and drank way too much (maybe like 1/3 of that) I could never go through a bottle of liquor a day, it just feels miserable and forced by the end and made me not want to drink (or do anything else) for a day after. How does anyone get any enjoyment out of that?
In fact, the incel prudes here are trying to KILL the man by not letting him drink. It's a known scientific fact that whiskey actually extends your lifespan by 2 minutes for every shot you take. If anything, he's not drinking nearly enough to stay healthy and needs to up the dosage by at least 750 ml more a night. You can trust me on that, I'm a True and Honest doctor who'd totally never lie about anything on the internet.
That's where he's obviously at though. Even by his own admission, and I think he's underestimating it.
It's back of the napkin calculations based on his recent statement that he budgets 1300kcal/day for booze. The average caloric density of a 1.5 fluid ounce pour of 80 proof whiskey (the CDC/NIH definition of "standard drink") is 105kcal. So 1300/105=12.38. 12.38(7)=86.66. again, this is crude reckoning, but it's reckoning based on information he's willingly given to us.
Only thing is plenty of whiskeys are more than 40% ABV so either he drinks less of those (lol) or he doesn't care.
Yeah, there's no way. You can pretend you're going to be all methodical about your drinking as much as you want, but once you're 5-6 shots in, you're either going to stop right there because you have the willpower to know you've had too much, or you're going to keep going and not give a fuck about how much you drink until you really feel miserable (or pass out). Plus 13 shots is almost a whole fifth, does anyone really believe Nick wouldn't just drink the rest?
