Does alcohol actually help or only make it worse

[Black wizard]

I somehow have never drank before and have just been raw dogging everything for the past 6 years but I low-key have to start abusing substances.

Is alcohol worth it or nah?

 

[mikidagreen]

i would try it, even though its not the best for feeling like shit itll make your mind hazy and make thoughts harder to hold onto at least. had 3 beers today for that exact reason.

 

[YourLocalSadGirly]

eh it can be nice i guess but i'd only go that route if you don't really have access to anything else or are really worried about the law. tbh i've only drank and i smoked weed once but both are kinda mid imo if you can get your hands on anything else do that. i've wanted to abuse xanax forever though because i hear it makes you disassociate and lose entire days which is exactly what i want. if you're going to decide to abuse substances might as well go big or go home right?

Yea I also want to start using drugs, maybe ketamine cause I heard it like helps with severe depression or some shit but idk.

I would use drugs but idk any plugs or any place to get them

Alcohol is a no, no, as far as I am concerned.

I LOVE beer, and I used to have a few, long time ago, when I used to go to the clubs and wake up with a dry mouth and dull headache.

To me alcohol is like smoking a habit that turns into an addiction. Livem brain skin damage.

Now a beer on occasion or a glass of wine or whatever, fine, but every day, I would not.

One only lives once and do as a person pleases, HOWEVER, more when than if the hammer falls, do not whine or complain that it was any other fault but the one in the mirror.

Like, I had a person I knew over 40 years ago, who chained smoked and then got stage 4 lung cancer and said it was the tobacco companies' fault, hum, no.

Yes, a person can get cancer or what not, I had gall bladder cancer, but why egg it on?

Enjoy in moderation and tip one for me.

I drink sometimes. It can be fun. It can make me anxious and sad in the days after. Tolerance grows too quickly.

 

[fedup1982]

I could never become a daily drinker thankfully. That can lead to really bad places.

It's ok to enjoy a bit of alcohol now and again, I'd say my experiences are two bad for each good experience.

I just wish my weed tolerance wouldn't build up though, it's nicer being stoned than drunk

 

[NyxCascade]

People have always said to me it makes everything worse but...sheesh alcohol is my babyyy I love me some double vodka cokes and im a sucker for cocktails
I mean i 100% agree with the fact it doesnt fix shit permanently but...fuck when your in that state where your lips feel numb when you lick them, time is going by so fast, you cant even feel sad. You just feel warmth I love that feeling and thats one of the only reasons I keep drinking, and to self sabotage of course

Literally what is the point in just having like one drink....or two...or just one half a pill of molly JUST GO FOR ITTTT.

 

[SASU-KE]

I can promise you it makes things much worse. Unless, of course, you can drink it in moderation. If you cannot, stay the **** away.

 

[TAW122]

I don't really drink much, though sometimes I drink only on special occasions like milestones, holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.). Though with that said, I think drinking too much can hinder one's ability to CTB or so, but I am not an expert in that area. I also don't want to build a 'tolerance' or become addicted to the substance either.

 

[Proceed]

It's awesome if you don't become an addict.

 

[K-pin]

I only drink on weekends or Friday nights, kind of as a reward for making it through the week. It's nice because I'm not really addicted. I think it can help if you don't abuse it too much

 

[froggirl9000]

Most substances will make you feel better in the short term but fuck you in the long term. My brother is an alcoholic, I've largely stayed away from it cuz of my experiences with him and due to the fact that I get the appeal. When I get drunk everything just feels better.

 

[hurts2b]

Not really. It's a game of deminishing returns. You'll feel 100x better in the first month of daily use. After that, though, get ready to be abandoned by your crutch.

 

[EscThisPlace321]

It's ok...I drink daily but I try not to...but its like almost impossible not to. If you don't have to I wouldnt....it's really just like a big money pit. You'll waste so much money on high percentage malt liquor beer its not even funny....but at the same time like it WILL PULL YOU THROUGH WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH. That's the good thing. You can like balance it and make it work. That's what I try to do but it's hard. Depressants are great for the Central Nervous System...Especially if you just need to like exit everything for a while.

From an alcoholic it is not something I would aspire to use as a coping mechanism. Like every addictive substance, it starts great then slowly takes over your life and permanently ruins you mentally and physically. Substance addiction never fixes your problems but it sure does give you a bunch of new ones!

 

[thelostautistic]

I wouldn't encourage going down this path.

 

[GoGoTornado]

What a lot of others are saying is true. Feels good at first but you start leaning on it quickly and then you have a new set of problems. It's mostly a money sink and of you drink too much at once you'll feel terrible.

I'm at the point where being drunk is the only escape from my thoughts, and its not a great place to be.

 

[bpdscared9]

I made a thread with my personal experience with alcohol poisoning and a bit of my addiction to it. But it's not really worth it, not to mention the amount of gastric damage that it causes you and also to your liver. It's not cool drinking everyday to "feel" something or to regulate yourself, I'd aim for something healthier, plus the taste is very bad!

 

[SomeDude]

Oh man, funny storry xD I once wanted to ctb by hanging myself in the attic, beforehand I drank a bottle of Vodka or maybe 2 , dont know, the memory is a bit fuzzy . Anyway I was too drunk to tie the rope to the ceiling, fell down the ladder and passed out. (°-c °


So yeah.. I think it can help but there is somewhat a right amount and then theres too much

 

[witchcraft]

At first it seemed to help, but eventually it became a net negative. So now I'm quitting again. Besides physical ailments that it can lead to (typically by abusing it over a long period of time), it's likely to hurt the regulation of your mood. "Hangxiety" is a thing too; the anxiety caused by the effects of a hangover.

Don't take this the wrong way, but it sounds like you're asking if it's worth becoming dependent on. And in my opinion the answer to that is definitely no lol.

 

[violetforever]

ive never drank either. i never will after being surrounded by alcoholics my whole life. all i can say is its been a bad experience for everyone involved. id only take drugs if the intended use was to overdose and die from them. being suicidal, i can understand why people get caught up in addiction trying to block out the pain of life though :/
