Does anyone drink to drown out everything?

[Under The Graveyard]

Just like now, I'm buzzing pretty good. I pretty much drink to drown out the voices in my head, or the thoughts that continuously go through it.

I know it doesn't solve the problem, but a break from it helps.

I've been drinking more and more lately, and starting to hope I die from alcohol poisoning.

I used to, after a decade of on-and-off binge drinking it became too much for my body & too easy for me to drink impulsively. So I stopped at 31

I'm 51, and used to occasionally drink every other day. But as my depression grows worse, so doe my drinking. Now its eceryday and as much as I can until I pass out.

It's not easy to achieve alcohol poisoning, especially if you're a heavy drinker...

I do too, but it's working less and less. Pretty hard to die from alcohol poisoning unless you binge. Withdrawals are actually more likely to be fatal if you drink heavily every day, I think. Not a good way to go either way. I have seen people go through withdrawals in the ER. Not pretty. Very risky.

Same for me,. I drink fairly heavily for my body size. I drink to block , drown, escape from pretty much Everything. ( Amongst various other substances in combo).

Good , healthy,.. ? Nope, it's a damn Nightmare. But at least I know I am bringing myself That much closer to death. Very fucked and Sick vicious cycle I am in. Fml.
Quite numb and Buzzed right now,. Come to think of it. I just don't care anymore.

[Huntfish34]

Just finished drinking 3 small bottles of Wild Turkey 101 proof whiskey (50ml each), mixed with a 20oz mountain dew. Currently working on a 4 pack of Dragons milk bourbon barrel aged stout (14% abv).

I've had to do that too. Nothing makes you realize you're an alcoholic like having to do that.

That's probably why people who want to die drink

 

[Ramirez]

I drink like crazy. It's the only thing giving me a break from this hell. It makes me very blunt and rude at times. People dont dig that..

buuuuuut, what about both together? :D

 

[Huntfish34]

Haha,. I like to have them both together when I possibly can.

I'm at that point in my life that I don't care if people dig it or not. When I'm drinking, my bluntness doesn't stop where someone's feelings start.

I drink a lot... to survive. Drinking yourself to death is a very bad idea in my opinion, a method that will just make you feel more miserable without actually getting there. If you want to die, whatever you do, I think alcohol poisoning is a very bad idea. It's not going to work.

 

[Alwaysbadtime]

I can't get drunk anymore. I mean I sometimes drink a lot, but it doesn't change the horrible brain pain I have from stress. I envy folks that enjoy getting drunk or high. Drinking sometimes makes me cry...I feel a headache in the morning just compounding my pissed off brain.

Used to drink a lot of alcohol too, but kinda stopped after giving myself three-day lasting alcohol poisoning.

3 days? Damn that must have been a massive amount.
Woke up still drunk from last night straight back to drinking

Yeah, I was dumb as hell. Haven't eaten all day (and I'm a pretty light dude as well) and I chugged down 2 x 150ml cups of vodka, so 300ml in total. Felt nice for a few hours but after that it was literally hell, I could not eat, sleep or move and all and had to throw up every 1-2 hours. Got pretty spooked and even called a poison emergency hotline after 24 hours of that, but they told me if it was fatal I would've been dead already. So it was a really bad case, but not bad enough to be hospitalized and they were somewhat right, since I was back on my feet after 3 days. After that, I kinda stay away from it, at least for the foreseeable future. Especially vodka, because the one I drank at least just smelled and tasted like nothing, so it went down extremely easy.

Sorry you went through that. Sorry to say that but 300 ml of vodka will not give you alcohol poisoning for 3 days. You likely experienced some stomach problems. To have alcohol poisoning for 3 days you would have to drink a fuckton. No offence. I'm sorry you went through that though

I hear ya! I just hate to cause more pain to ppl already suffering just by being rude and blunt. I try to be considerate but it's hard...

I transitioned to weed from alcohol been binging it on and off for 5 years it's time to put it down for a bit and smoke.

I guess it depends. Drugs affect people in different ways. If I'd smoke weed I would get paranoid af. I'm rather paranoid as it is . Alc helps with my bad moods the most. But again drugs affect ppl differently.
