i've got six cans of Stella waiting in the fridge for me to consume tonight. If this makes me an alcoholic, in about three hours i should be far too merry to really care.

I still have a bottle of beer left from a New Years six-pack.

that is...unless girlgun drank it...

Is your life gonna be any different/better or are you gonna be in the same position you're in now. If the answer is the latter then it's quite likely by then not only will you be drinking more but you'll find it harder to stop and have less insight into what it's doing to your life.

See, this is exactly what I mean - you've immediately taken a very negative position on whatever my alcohol consumption is. You're also working on the assumption that when I get drunk I don't want to deaden my senses. I find it enjoyable, once or maybe twice a week, to turn myself into a blathering retard. I'm not violent when I'm drunk, and I don't put anyone else in any danger, and I really don't see that as a problem. At the risk of being immodest, there's a lot of fairly sharp people that drink precisely because they need an escape from the incessant dirge of brain function.

What I would be doing if I wasn't drinking is reading while listening to records or wasting my life on the fucking internet. As it is, I think drinking's definitely an improvement on the latter.

Of course if you were British none of this would matter because here alcoholism is expected with some forward thinking youth starting around the ages of 8 and a fresh puddle of puke to greet you at least once on every street you walk through.

I lolled a bit.

By the way, the third season opener of Mad Men airs tonight. Who's watching?

Just because this might work for you in redneck Macon, Ga., don't assume the rest of the civilized world operates this way.

of course, if im out in public (bars..., arcades filled with underaged teen girls... venues..whatever) i tend to drink, because it makes it easier for me to socialize.

You're sick.

however...with that said....if you check all my posts from the past, i think youll see that ive not had too many issues w/ the women. damned sure not a creepy fifty something year old flirting w/ 19 year old girls, as well as asking young boys (like myself) where they buy their clothes.

im serious man, thats really weird. have you discussed this with yr wife? there is help.

Don't try to project your personal perversities on me. I notice you bring up the 19-year-old girl thing all the time, I don't.

Am I a stoner if I smoke alone sometimes?

[gmku]

No, you're just pathetic.

this must be considered. basically, 1) i dont DATE 19 year old girls, anymore. and 2) i was 19 not all that long ago.

let me put this nicely...you are a prime example of what i PRAY i am not when im yr age. yr kids must be so dissapointed.

"dad, quit trying to be "cool" with our friends" haha...i can only imagine.

You know, sway, let me put this nicely. You're an ass.

[gmku]

Feeling's not mutual, I assure you.

[floatingslowly]

swa(y) can really be an evil little gremlin, when he tries.

a few nights ago, he was playing White Night, so who's really to tell...

[floatingslowly]

what sucks is relative.

ps: you can stop praying now, there's now way yr going to be anything like him. haha

[floatingslowly]

and....although a 6 pack can last me 6 months, I have no problem drinking alone.

[gmku]

Damn Georgia rednecks. They can get my goat every time, because of their, well, damned Georgia redneckedness. (Though Texas rednecks can be as bad.)

If it were a sign alcoholism I'd reckon most members of the board are alcoholics.

Indeed. Realized I might be just preaching to the choir.

Death can be seen in two different ways: as the possible of the impossible or as the impossible of the possible

OK.
