r/alcohol

I don’t think I am personally but everything I’m looking at is saying I’m more likely, basically I have poly dud stance use dororder and I’ve experienced this firsthand with opiates but sometimes past use can make wotbdrales happen sooner or easier like I was prescribed oxy this year and I had hydromorphone in a hospital iv the day before, I only took the pills like 3 days and I bet chewing them didn’t help but even after that I got withdrawals like I wa dusting for a week or more and it was hell, basically I’ve been drinking for 5 days slowly increasing, for the first 2.
Days it was a shot a day and then it was a few shots and then yesterday I was drunk and drinking to stay drunk from 3pm to 1am and today I’ve been drinking since 5om ish and I’ve drank a lot for hoe I normally do, I have been on a bender befofe for weeks and I’ve had more spaces out benders since 14 so 4 years fs with alcohol but not as severe as opiates either way is this even a risk for withdrawal, I’ve had withdrawal before from alcohol too but this is hell basically maybe I’m off on dosage because I had one Tito’s bottle and I’ll admit befofe it’s mini bender I drank sm I threw up from my Tito’s bottle and it was form the neck to a bit below the round part and I don’t drink much so it makes sense but the link bender had only been 5 days and my tisos is all gone and I’m ALMOt not quie I have maybe a 3 inches to go or 2.5 on my burnout bottle that I ordered ehole drunk but this is the 5th day so am I cooked be honest

I think I drink because I’m scared to be alone with my thoughts

I can’t seem to stop drinking.

I’ve already done two medically supervised detoxes at home and somehow I still keep ending up back here. I think part of me expected the detoxes to “fix” things, but the second I’m alone with my own head again it all comes flooding back.

This all started spiraling after my divorce. The betrayal, the loneliness, the feeling of suddenly not mattering to someone you built your life around. I never really dealt with it properly. Drinking became the only thing that could shut my brain off for a few hours.

And then recently my house got broken into while I was home alone. I ended up locked in my toilet on the phone with emergency services while people were inside my house. Hearing police outside, hearing movement in the house, just sitting there trapped waiting and hoping nothing worse happened… something about that completely broke whatever sense of safety I still had left.

Ever since then sleep has been hell. My body is exhausted but my brain won’t switch off. Every sound at night makes me alert again. Drinking stopped being about fun a long time ago. Now it’s honestly me trying to knock myself out enough to sleep and not think.

I know alcohol is making things worse long term. I know it’s feeding the anxiety and depression. But when it’s 3 AM and your chest is tight and your brain is replaying everything and you’re sitting alone in a silent house, it stops feeling that simple.

I’m in therapy. I’ve done detox twice. I’m trying harder than people probably realize. But I still keep ending up back at alcohol because for a couple hours it makes me feel less terrified, less empty, less alone.

I’m tired. And honestly I’m scared that I’m running out of strength to keep fighting this cycle.

If anyone here got sober while dealing with trauma, panic, loneliness, or after something happened that made you stop feeling safe in your own home… how did you survive the nights?

How do I drink this shit, all I got is water, mix it with the water or take shots and chase with water? Idk

hi guys, i don’t really know where else to post this so if you know a different subreddit that would better suit my post pls lmk!

i’m in college and i don’t really drink a lot or often but whenever i do i get the worst hangovers. i think it started one time last year when i got pretty drunk and i was basically hung over the whole day after. now, every time i drink a bit, my stomach ends up hurting pretty bad either the same night or next morning. last night i drank enough to get me tipsy, just a cutwater and a smirnoff ice, and i woke up at 5 am bcs my stomach hurt so bad, and i used the bathroom and my mouth was salivating like i was gonna throw up. this morning i was talking to my friend about this and she said that it’s def not normal. i don’t think it’s normal either i just don’t know what to do about it 💔

I think the biggest lie wine culture tells beginners is that you’re supposed to instantly understand and appreciate wine the right way.
People act like you need to taste hints of leather, tobacco, wet forest floor and cherry preserves or else your opinion doesn’t count. Meanwhile most beginners are just trying to figure out whether they actually enjoy the glass in front of them.

There’s also this weird pressure to believe expensive better or that sweeter, easier drinking wines are somehow less valid. A lot of wine culture can feel more like trying to look knowledgeable than enjoying wine. I feel like beginners would enjoy wine way more if people stopped treating it like a test.

Okay this is going to sound a bit weird, but I have nowhere else to look, how can I get drunk? I am 22M and 300lbs rugby player, and I’ve been trying to get drunk for many years now. The only time I have been drunk is when I drank an entire 750ml bottle of vodka in under an hour, and even then I didn’t have a hangover the next day, I remembered everything from the night too. Can I have any tips to get drunk? I have had about 7 shots of absinthe in under an hour and felt perfectly fine, I do not know why I am like this, I truly just want to have fun and relax with my friends but in order to do that, I need to spend all my time and money drinking in order to feel the same buzz that they feel with 2 or 3 shots.

Of course I could just not drink, but I am just looking to see if there is any advice for alcohol or if I should truly give up trying to experience it the same as my friends.

After some chatter on social media, the new Henny RTD offerings have slowly been popping up on sites like TotalWine and ReserveBar, so it looks like it's official. We're getting Henny Iced Tea, Henny Berry and Henny Rita.

I'm guessing an official rollout will happen in June, but Memorial Day weekend would have been nice. 🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s one of my best friend’s bachelor party this weekend and we’ve decided on doing a jungle juice.? Yes we’re wanting to get fucked up, so share you guys blackout recipes thanks.

soo im on celexa and i know alcohol isnt good to drink when on ssri’s, but if i dont take it for that day is it okay to drink? i know it might sound stupid but im genuinely wondering

I am european and every time there is a get together I am the only sober one and I'm tired of it, if I manage to drink two beers I usually go to bed. My tummy doesn't like it and sometimes I even get a headache, there are a few types of drinks that taste good but most of them taste horrible.

Can u give me tips? I don't want to be the sober or asleep one at every party and casual get together :(

I have an anxiety disorder and the idea of drinking always stressed me out but recently I’ve tried it to see if it’s really that bad, the thing is I feel nothing. I am barely 90 pounds (I’m just built that way it’s unfortunate I know) so I assumed it would not take much but I was wrong, four cans of beer— nothing. five cups of wine? also nothing. I know I haven’t had anything really heavy but I’d assume I’d feel the ones I already listed (and I don’t want to drink anything heavier bc it’s likely I wouldn’t feel it and then I’d get sick from having too much). anyways is this normal?? I’m a girl and 20 years old.
