Alcohol debate thread. - Is Alcohol necessary?

[pork and beans]

It's never healthy and I think it's completely unnecessary but I understand why others choose to drink. And just like It's annoying when people give you shit for not drinking the opposite is also true. Alcohol has been around for thousands of years so I don't picture it going away any time soon or ever lol

Im going to quote Christopher "The Nose" Moltisanti on this one: "It's like the fuckin' regularness of everyday life is too hard for me" For me booze helps keep that boredom away

No lie, I have friends that claim drinking and jerking off when they're bored is the only way to stay sane.

I was basically teetering on becoming an alkie. I drank to enjoy myself, socially, and get fucked up because it was fun and funny, but after a beloved family member died, I hit the bottle HARD. Whiskey, tequila, gin, vodka, beer.

Like, blackout hard, wake up, not know where I was, DRIVE TO WORK still fucked up, early morning, go to work, try to stay awake a few hours, then fall asleep inside a broom closet for several hours when I knew I wouldn't be missed. This was an office job.

Finally I came to my fucking senses and stopped. Cold turkey. Tremors, shakes, sweating. Freak-outs like Mel Gibson. Fucked my liver up. It's tough. Stay away from booze if you can.

Brother, I really hear you. In the way only a man who has known booze as his only confidant can. I feel like booze makes both others and myself more interesting. I've gone home from bars with numbers from women I can't remember and bases I have no fucking clue. But still I got them under the demi super power that is drunkenness
