Been drinking a lot lately

[Santa Anna's Leg]

Gimme some signs of having a drinking problem. Ones that go beyond the traditional AA list. I know those.

[MikeyJoe]

This is not going to go well.

[DoeyHawk]

You post multiple HaLo goodbyes to return only a few hours later.

[Debit One]

Urges to have sex with women of your own race is a sure sign of a drinking problem.

:-)

[Debit One]

Feelings that you were wrong about Chairman O. are, on the other hand, quite normal.

[Santa Anna's Leg]

Who said anything about my own race.

:)

[Santa Anna's Leg]

Is trying to do a Wanda Sykes impression for your black coworker one of the signs?

I bet it is.

[Corporate Raider]

If you don't care what you are drinking. For example, Natty Light, Thunderbird, 5'Oclock variety liqours....the taste matters little, the result is all you are after.

[newsbreaker]

You know you have a drinking problem when you find yourself seeking advice from those less intelligent than you.

[StinkyMcFadden]

Thinking of excuses to drink heavily.

[Monster]

Not sure, but if you buy me a beer we can talk about it.

Does switching to Barq's Root Beer with your Jack, because it's all that's left in the fridge, count? :)

No.

Come back when you are using milk or lemon juice out of the little fake plastic lemon... or combining the two to see if that makes it any "better".

[StinkyMcFadden]

If you're drinking heavily at home...by yourself...Houston, we have a problem.

I always used to wonder if I had a problem because I was usually the last one out whenever we went drinking, even if it was just for a few. Then I started drinking with Brant every once in awhile.

Summer is drinky time.

[Santa Anna's Leg]

Ever made a White Russian from the wife's baby juice?

Waddya know? Maybe there's a market for this. Martini's with broken water in place of olive juice with a piece sliced placenta on the rim, perhaps?

[Soda Popinski]

I've been drinking a lot lately too, but I'm ok with it.

If you're using mixers of any kind you don't have a problem. At least that's what someone told me once at a bar.

[Santa Anna's Leg]

A soda can serves well to hide it from the suits.

:rollfloor: Well played, Santa Anna's Leg. When I leave the bar I work at I get a whiskey diet in a plastic cup so nobody will be the wiser when I take it for the road.

I don't know if he has a problem, but if drinking gets Sal posting more, I'm okay with it.

[Santa Anna's Leg]

very much so

[Verbal]

I'll tell you what definitely isn't a sign: drinking Hamm's on a Tuesday night while listening to Blue Jays baseball just to drown out the wife, kids and American Idol.

[danish_hawkeye]

unless you are out drinking me this thead is one big fail.....

[MikeyJoe]

Sal always struck me as a slightly less dashing Russel Crowe.

[blacklespaul]

I look at it this way, if you can take a day or two off from drinking, and it doesn't nag at you, you don't have a big problem. unless you take a couple days off because you are passed out cold drunk. Then, you have a problem.

[Mrs. BLP]

Drinking to the point of peeing in stranger's clothes hampers.

[Monster]

Drinking to the point of peeing in stranger's clothes hampers.

I think you can safely drop the above adjective.

[Jimmie Dimmick]

If you're on here posting at 2am with me on a weekday, then you have a problem.

[L. Wade Childress]

quit being a pussy, beer is good.

[CUIHAWk]

Just think of it of your way of helping the economy.

[brantshawks]

Thinking of excuses to drink heavily.

Speaking of which, do you want to celebrate National Pecan Day today with some beers?

Haven't managed to slow this down. Bar at lunch, closing bars 4-5 nights a week.

Mint.com says I spent ~1k on 'bars & alcohol' already this month, and I am not a wealthy man. Having a ton of fun, but not sure how sustainable this is.....

Circumsized of course.

You can't really count un, the same way that gunhand in Unforgiven only gave the number of white people he had killed and left the Mexicans he killed in a separate total.

So what is the ballpark? One per night in the subway or alley on the walk home?

Does Boston have subways?

My dad and his dad used to work at Hamm's wayyyy back in the day.

[nikolausp]

I would say a rather apparent sign that one might have a drinking problem, is if you yourself are wondering if you might have a drinking problem... Chances are you know yourself pretty well...

[Santa Anna's Leg]

Okay. For 2010. I'd estimate 0.65 per day. I know the conventional wisdom says 'a cock a day keeps the doctor away' but sometimes I don't have the energy.

[Mrs. G]

Just a few thoughts for you SAL:

1. Get out of Boston. It is a wonderful, clean city, but over-priced and an Iowa boy will never be fully accepted there in any circle unless he is high up in academia and/or the medical industry.

2. Get a real hobby other than drinking. One that you actually plan for and participate in when not at work. I've seen people make 'real' hobbies out of just about everything. Again, it should be something that doesn't center around or involve alcohol.

3. Go see a therapist. (Disclaimer: many therapists will not work with someone who has a drinking problem until that person has gone through treatment and even then will likely direct the person on to an addiction counselor. I'm not dogging on addiction counselors, but they tend to see the world through a single lense, which in your case, might actually be a good thing).

4. Learn to be your own best friend. The more you respect yourself, the less debt you will run up and the better you will treat others (hence leading to them liking you more and wanting to be around you without you "buying" their friendship through alcohol).

5. Grow-up and accept the fact that lots of drinking just isn't cool at your age. Seriously, the college girls in the bar who you are buying drinks probably snicker at you when they go to the bathroom and talk about that pathetic old man who is putting all of their drinks on his credit card. For young women, a man as little as 3 years older than them is often viewed as "old", "washed up" and/or a "pervert".

Exactly. That's why men should stick to women and stop trying to feel cool about themselves by hanging out with girls.

[Mrs. G]

BTW, SAL, whatever you do, you should NOT get married and have kids in an effort to fix this current "life purpose melancholy" you are experiencing. Marriages have the greatest chance of success if both people feel relatively stable and happy at the time they meet rather than looking for someone in hopes that they will then start to feel stable and happy as a result of meeting someone.

[Monster]

Yeah, that's a great idea.

I didn't get married until I was 30. I have a bit of experience trying to meet females at the clubs. The so-called women out there who are still hitting the club scene at the advanced age of 28 or so are so damn bitter - generally speaking - that the glass slipper didn't fit that you can't talk to them for more than 2 minutes without wanting to go outside and walk in front of a DART bus. Which isn't hard to do these days.

Boston is a beautiful place, but what you've said here is arguably true even if a person is working in a relatively prestigious position in academia.

[Jimmie Dimmick]

Seems like it's more about the money to you, than the actual drinking. Drink cheaper alcohol, until you realize that the good stuff is worth the added expense, and stop buying chicks drinks.

[ned rierson]

If you don't care what you are drinking. For example, Natty Light, Thunderbird, 5'Oclock variety liqours....the taste matters little, the result is all you are after.

No, but requiring something to mix Jack with makes you a giant p&ssy.

Plenty of college girls in larger cities dig older guys for some reason or another.

The mother of my son (my gf) is 25. I'm 36 age in many cases is not a big deal, but that depends on the two people involved.

As for Boston, I tend to agree, but I do not think it is as big of a "research" town as some may think. Sure Harvard, BU and BC etc are located there, but still..He's a scientist, maybe he could look towards the research triad in the Chapel Hill/Raleigh/Durham area in NC. Cheaper way of live, better pay and nicer weather.

There's nothing wrong with drinking alone. The faddish and unsupported prohibition against it is one of those insipid things that the commoners like to repeat to themselves and with each other without really knowing what they're saying.

[Gushawk]

In the list of issues you need to address, I'm not sure avoiding random sex (even with strippers) outranks moderating your drinking. You can at least better protect yourself from potential catastrophic harm when it comes to the former.

hehe. Porsche does sound like a stripper name, but I don't think she was. She was just black.

I guess I shouldn't feel guilty spending $50 or so a month on alcohol. A thousand bucks? Take up High Life.

I skipped over a bunch of posts.....Is someone really spending a thousand? Crap, there are several problems, with drinking being one.

I don't think it's that crazy. I spend about $1k/month on "going out" which includes meals and cabs, but is mostly booze. My problem is that I don't drink alone. It is much cheaper to drink at home, but I don't keep alcohol in my apartment.

I have a friend who spends $2k/month in a tame month.

Yeah, it's not that hard to spend 1k a month on entertainment. But I'm not a wealthy guy, I have to budget a little. 1k is approaching a quarter of my monthly income.

You don't want to stay at your apt and party with Steve!?!

Last night I fell asleep on the sidewalk outside the falafel place while laying down to finish a phone call.

That's not good, but at least I didn't go home with Porsche and her friend as my buddy did. Small victories......

how was the falafel?

When I woke up and ordered, they said they were out of falafels. They made me some hummus sandwich in a pita, but I found it sitting next to me on the couch this morning.

That would make me hurl.

WTF ever happened to McD's when you're hammered?

The falafel is great late night food. They have the lamb on a stick stuff too, but I don't get down like that.

Late at night in Cambridge it's either pizza or the Falafel Palace.
