Has anyone tried getting drunk when severely depressed?

[HeadPressure]

Omg, when I drank while depressed af, it was the best thing in my life. I was able to say what I wanted to say and just laughed my ass off.
And they werent fake laughs and all, they were real. Like I was actually laughing. I usually dont drink at all, like maybe one sip due to peer pressure
from my family but that's it. I usually hate alcohol because I thought it's only useful when you sad and all, I turns out I was soooooo right. Man, when I got
drunk and couldn't stop laughing and all. Best day of my life. OH and im 21 right now and I have so much depression and anxiety about school and I already paid
for it lolz. Damn I wish i was dead or at least drunk in a forest somewhere. PEACE

Yes. I got very, very drunk a few months ago and ended up having a brownout. I only remember cutting up my arm and waking up on the floor sick as hell. I felt horrible for days afterwards. It sucked lol

 

[OrdinaryDay]

Can confirm that getting drunk is awesome, which is what I've been doing for a long time until my family pressurized me to the point where I had to quit drinking otherwise I would've been kicked out. I'm ready to drink myself to death any time which is probably what I'm gonna do if I reach another breaking point once again.

I spend most days trying NOT to get drunk (money, housing, self-respect, etc.), because yes, I love it so. I'm three days sober and I'm feeling thirsty again. Dammit.

7 months here but damn it those cravings sometimes are unbearable.. just want to fuck all get drunk and ctb

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

I like drinking beer but I'm not alcohol-dependant. I drink moderately.

 

[GravityUtilizer]

7 months here

Fair play.

 

[OfThePraxicOrder]

I had to stop drinking, everytime I would get drunk i would end up cutting myself, most if the time I would wake up in the bathroom, been sober a couple months. I do kinda miss it though, I get stupid when I'm drunk and I stop thinking, I have no thoughts, its like being free from myself.

 

[unfair]

I drink EVERY night. At least a 12 pack. It's pathetic. I start sober and wanting to leave this earth. A few in and I'm good with life and think my sober self is stupid. A few more in, I remember why I want to go. A few more and life's good again. Finally hit the end of the road and cry myself to sleep. It's a vicious cycle. Don't get sucked in.

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

[Ramirez]

[Huntfish34]

Oh yeah ,. As much as I possibly can. Drinking a Keystone. atm. Lol.

 

[Blueman]

Since my depression started 4 months ago I've only got drunk once hated it and the hangover was hideous.
Used to get a bit drunk regularly and enjoy it but that was when I felt good about life
Problem now is I've a lot of friends who I've known for years and as males in our 50s going for a pint is what we do

 

[TimeToBiteTheDust]

Drink myself to death like Leaving Las Vegas movie !!

 

[Green Destiny]

Honestly wish I could get drunk. But I can't hold my liquor and throw up so I don't bother. Plus I hate the bitterness that alcohol brings.

 

[Ghost2211]

I have zero alcohol tolerance. I get really sleepy, and next day I get a hard core hangover. mj works perfect. I can go sad and not able to eat to super happy and finding some awesome snacks.

Can you drink to death?

 

[Shades of Grey]

Thanks to experiences with an alcoholic relative, I'll drink socially on occasion, but rarely drink alone. Mental block, I suppose. I never drink when I'm in a bad place. I worry about dependence or potentially doing something impulsive. (I don't enjoy the feeling of being out of control.) Initially, everything is hilarious. Then I get tired. If I don't manage to fall asleep in time, phase three (the "existential crisis" phase) hits... and it hits hard.

I will, however, consume "herbally enhanced" foodstuffs (I'm in a legal state) if I absolutely can't sleep or am in dire straits.

Amy Winehouse died that way

 

[SipSop]

Amy Winehouse died that way

No way! I didn't knew.
I do not drink so my body is very sensitive to it.
But if I am to go by overdose I will do it by some drugs like cocaine or something. I do not do drugs either so the effects could be marvelous before, I hope, my body would shut down like a broken fucking toy.

 

[Soulless Angel]

I like my drink, I am very impulsive when drunk though, not always a good thing. But I am generally happier, and more sociable, which is odd as I damn well hate people.

I think it takes a lot of practice to be able to drink enough and keep it inside to OD on it.

I drink EVERY night. At least a 12 pack. It's pathetic. I start sober and wanting to leave this earth. A few in and I'm good with life and think my sober self is stupid. A few more in, I remember why I want to go. A few more and life's good again. Finally hit the end of the road and cry myself to sleep. It's a vicious cycle. Don't get sucked in.

This is me also - sadly being drunk is the only way I feel like I want to stay alive, but it's also making me so depresed I want to go. I quit for 3 weeks (which is forever for me), then on my birthday had 1 pint of beer - that was it. Back to drinking.

Yeah she was a heavy drinker.

 

[TheQ22]

Yeah she was a heavy drinker.

I think she'd wrecked herself from years of drinking, drugs and she was bulemic too.

However she polished off 2 bottles of vodka, I think that would probably be enough to do most people in. It's a lot of alcohol for a slightly built woman.

 

[Deleted member 14386]

I believe it was also just after she'd gotten out of rehab (don't make me sing the song lol), so she drank what she normally would've but ended up ODing

 

[Privatehell]

I'm an all or nothing drinker. I need the buzz to either indulge my depression or numb it. It's beyond destructive for my brain because I black out, act horrendously emotional, suffer worsened anxiety and depression for days after. But I still crave it.

 

[Theodora]

I should try that .. but I hate the taste of it soooo muchhhhh

 

[fyodorkdostoyesky]

I'm a high functioning alcoholic because of depression. Used to drink cheap gin neat until I passed out or fell asleep or ran out of gin. At first drinking while depressed is just great. Laughing your ass off at the absurdity of yourself and your situation and everything. A respite from self pity and pain feels nice until it doesn't, and then it's like you can't live without it

 

[miguel6565]

no money for it,but i love weed+drunk combo

 

[Silver]

I hate drinking alcohol but I like the effect. Problem is, I drink so much at once that one moment I'm awake, the next moment i'm waking up from being asleep a few hours later, lol.
