My knee hurts. Can't drink because of all the tylenol

>What can I get you?
Since you can't get me a date, I'll have double old fashioned with Maker's.
>I use variations of this line all the time as a self-deprecating cry for help at bars.

>>14541723
And bartenders far and wide universally hate you.

ginger ale please

i just hit 2 years sober yesterday.

hug
:(

>>14541739
Nah, they tend to actually like me pretty well. Give me free drinks every now and then, come over just to talk to me, play UNO and other games with me and the servers. I'm a pretty good barfly.

>>14541701
I can't find a job anywhere since I got laid off in feb and i'm inching closer to suicide every day.
Give me a whiskey straight and pass the nuts over.

>>14541701
Why did you go from /r9k/ to here?

>>14541743
Congrats! I'm actually really proud of you!

>>14541758
What was your old job, stranger?

>>14541769
Sales manager at a hispanic supermarket. A month later COVID hit and it's been a swirling, churning nightmare since.

>>14541776
Sorry to hear that. Do you have a degree or anything? Right now would be a good time to go back to school and further your education.

>>14541743
good job. keep going!

>>14541763
>>14541787

thanks m8's

>>14541783
I don't. My dream is to make video games/draw things for said video games but depression keeps smacking me upside the head and I end up spending the days indoors shitposting instead of applying for school. My rent is 3 months past due since my savings have all run out and my only joy atm is using EBT to cook things I never used to have enough time to cook when I had a job.
I'm just waiting for evictions to start up again so i'm forced out on my ass and I can go jump off a bridge and finally end it.

>>14541813
Man, don't say that. How old are you? Do you have any family nearby? Where are you from?

>>14541839
I turned 25 in june. The only one in my family that probably cares about me is my mom and I don't want to have anything to do with her since she took her nigger boyfriends side even after he physically and verbally abused me and my sister while we were growing up. My sister hasn't talked to her for almost 4 years and i'm getting close to cutting it off with her as well. Yet she lives in a 3 bedroom house and rents out her rooms to random people while her two kids are out suffering all because she's afraid of being alone and thinks that darkie fuck is the only one who can love her old ass.
What I need is a doctor, a shink, whatever people get when their brains are all fucked up. Too bad I live in this shithole country that doesn't give a fuck about healthcare for the masses. No wonder COVID is kicking our collective asses so much when so many people live under the poverty line and can't afford to see a doctor about anything.

>>14541892
There are places that will help you for free. I can put you in touch with some of them if you'd like.

i quit my job because i got another job offer and then that job ghosted me. so now im fucked. honestly thinking about killing myself.

>>14541903
Sure anonymous person on 4chan, i'm sure I can trust you.

>>14541907
Were you on good standing with your old employer? Is there any chance you could go back to them besides your wounded ego?

>>14541920
already got my final paycheck and everything. not a chance.

>>14541916
Do you have a throwaway email? I'm serious, man.

>>14541924
What sort of work were you doing?

>>14541928
I don't but here's a 10 minute mail you can send whatever to.
zmgvprbgeygdavbyss@ttirv.com

I'll take some coffee and a fist full of antidepressants

i still think about my girlfriend from 7 years ago daily

got dumped via text in the middle of the night. never saw her again.

>>14541701
hendricks g+t for sipping, followed by enough white russians that I have trouble walking a straight line, and finish me off with a shot of amaretto, and I'll go piss in the bushes on my stumble home
for a tip you can have whatever's in my wallet

>>14542009
Why can't you move on? Women are so fucking replaceable, it's not even funny. Just ask out another woman.

>>14541813
may be a tough pill to swallow but just grit your teeth and get whatever shit wagie job you can, grocery store, manual labor, whatever. they're always hiring and it's income. it sucks but that's the way it goes
t. ex-wagie who made it instead of killing himself

>>14542009
It's okay. I still sometimes think of mine too, and it's been nearly 7 years. Funny enough, I met her on /ck/.

Just keep your chin up and come up with something productive to do whenever the feelings hit you. Maybe clean something(dishes, bathroom, vacuum, etc.) or do a short workout routine. Whatever you do, stick to it.

But really, you need to let the past go. Don't cling to a person that doesn't love you. You'll miss finding someone that really does.

>>14541701
College semester's over, waiting on interview results. Moving out of this apartment soon to a new one. I'm feeling great. Tired, but great. You wouldn't happen to have any Calvados, would you?

>>14542028
It's tough as you get older. When you're no longer in college it can be really difficult to meet women.

give me the feels on tap

>>14542049
Unless you live in bum-fuck-nowhere, meeting women is quite easy. I live in the city and have asked out several women in the park. As a result, I've been on many dates and even hooked up during the midst of a pandemic. You can't expect women to fall into your lap. If you're too scared to ask out women in real life, then you don't deserve to be with one. Simple as.

>>14542031
I've applied fucking everywhere and haven't gotten a response. What's your story? I really need some inspiration.

I want to fucking die, I spend more money on booze than food, my CERB payments are over. I'm now expected to be working again, but everything in my area is serving and restaurant bullshit. Can someone put me out of my misery please?

>>14542073
You're just going to have to suck it up and take a shitty underpaying job. Are you able to collect partial unemployment benefits if what you're making is less than your old job?

>>14542060
whole family died right after high school, lived with friend for 2 years as depressed neet, applied at deli on a whim, got the job, learned how to talk to people from working customer service
hung out with girl coworker a few times, she bought me some food for my birthday, I bought her weed for her birthday, yadda yadda yadda married for 5 years, bought house, 2 cars, planning children, living the american dream
the major takeaway from this is that most of shit in life is luck of the draw, but you gotta play to win. keep looking, keep trying, and an opportunity will be available at some point. also simply trying is a good antidote for depression. also also no matter how successful you end up, you'll never leave 4chan. just embrace it

>>14542073
All unemployment payments and benefits have run dry, have been laid off since late March. My former manager has not contacted me whatsoever for a reference, they can eat shit. Fingers crossed my friend can get me a desk job at a bank, anything that doesn't involve looking or talking with people.

>>14541743
Lol gay

>>14542108
man up, nigga
you'll never find a woman if you can't talk to people. get a customer service job and smile at people all day. no woman will want some pocket spaghetti fool who can't even look her in the eye. i'm not trying to insult you, but life isn't easy, you're going to have to do things you don't want to every single day

>>14541701
life is going really fine, but most of my life is a lie based on the public appearance of my success (or so i think). i think i'm finally getting that "imposter syndrome" i hear other engineers talking about. being in management doesn't exactly help, because i look around and see all this new talent and think that despite what i do and learn now, i can't ever compete and have an edge.
for my drink - a sazerac.

>>14542135
>sazerac
You from NOLA, buddy?

>>14542142
from there, not living there atm

>>14542144
Figures. Nobody except people from NOLA like sazerac.

>>14542148
it's a shame, honestly. it's my favorite cocktail. it tastes like an old southern gentleman got done talking business after two cigars and hugs you.
i have yet to find a bar around here that has them. i used to live in NC, and they had certain hole-in-the-walls and absinthe bars that sold them, but it's tough.
i suppose i can settle for making them myself, but i enjoy talking with bartenders. they're like priests that you can confess to and not feel guilt.

>>14542184
My man, I'd love to drink one of those disgusting things with you tonight. We are kindred spirits when it comes to the sacred relationship between bartender and patron. I openly confess that I'd much rather drink alone at a bar like some loser, than drink alone at home like some loser.

But yeah, I've never been able to tolerate sazeracs. I'm a transplant rather than a native.

>>14542204
here's a 50/50 chambord & gin to you, then, mon frère.

>>14542253
Cheers, my man! I'm sipping on some Maker's.

Get me an old fashioned. My picks for hockey today were Boston, Toronto and St Louis and I lost half the money I made last night on the fights.

>>14542294
You already drink, you shouldn't add to your vices by gambling.

>>14541754
You suck

>>14542303
Yeah, kinda'.

>>14542266
Nice 'ker's

>>14541701
I’ve got school tomorrow at the technical college. I’d like a mug of pickle juice please

>>14542301
Nothing better to do. Plus betting on UFC usually makes me money and is fun.

>>14542316
Somebody get this man a shot of Jameson!

Just a glass of freeze cold water with lemon and some cucumber

I havent talked with my (now?) ex from 5 years in about 6 months, im a health worker so corona hit us pretty hard, i binged eated a lot and my alcohol addiction became pretty deep, add that to stress from work and depression from my relationship, but a couple months ago i decided to change everything and starting to eat better, more excercise and i havent touched a beer or any alcohol on that time; that doesnt mean i quit but... need to get into shape for who knows what happens next

a better choice would've been a michelada, some good whisky with water, vodka tonic or a white russian

i still miss him

>>14542333
I profit betting NFL and CFB every year. I was way into betting mma about 10 years ago until the Machida vs. Rampage fight. I vowed to never bet on mma ever again after that. I just simply cannot know when a fighter is fighting hurt, or going in with one of the dumbest fucking gameplans imaginable. Lines are way too swingy.

>>14542528
Stay sober and stay strong. You'll find someone else someday.

>>14541701
i'm unhappy with my marriage not even one year in. I'll have a nice speyside, neat, anything aged more than 15 years

Brother, friends, country men, you have been wonderful company tonight. I hope that every single one of you finds the love, happiness, and safety that you deserve. Take care of yourselves and, until we all drink again, be excellent to each other.

>>14542543
I usually make a small parley bet for all the fights on the main card for whoever the odds favor, then bet on individual fights, maybe another parley if one of my fighters loses. Never really bet too big. Derrick Lewis made me $200 last night though.

I saw my family for the first time in 5 years. I have mixed emotions but I think im happy

I'll have a daiquiri, vrai and nephew rum.

somehow fucked up my jaw. cant eat anything difficult for going on 4 months now. i only recently managed to get back to being able to chew most soft foods and open my mouth wide enough for a spoon full to fit in. constant ringing in one of my ears because my jaw inflames it to top it all off. no idea how much happiness eating a meal normally and in silence would bring me.
ill have a vodka tonic

>>14541701
I haven’t had a conversation since mid march, I stopped feeling literally anything (including sadness) months ago, and I have become the epitome of Sloth.
I want the strongest vodka you have

>>14541701
Slide me a rusty nail, anon. It's been a long one.

>underlying heart condition exacerbated from weed when it got legalized this year
>dropped out of school & turned down new job offer to focus on health
>corona shit
>dad got diagnosed w/prostate cancer
>nursing school at a halt because pandemic.
I refuse to do in person labs til this shit is over with.

I'll take a n aesthetic mocktail. I'm pissed at this year, but I cant do alcohol since I'm on anti anxiety meds. It feels weird going from being an athlete to being wiped out going up the stairs. Overall I'm hanging in there.

>>14542900
Oof. That sounds rough. And that's gonna be me one day. I have a TMJ disorder that needs to get fixed. I have no problem with other people's blood n guts but I have a fear of going under the knife myself. Ganbatte anon. Get well soon!

Get me a screwdriver and a cherry.
I'm sad that I'm this old and still an umderemployed nobody but I know getting a job I don't like just to rent an apartment just to get some chick is just going to push my goals further in the future. I'm so lonely and aimless. Someone tell me there's more to the future than this.

>>14542992
There's a bullet in the future. The symbol of freedom.

>>14541701
I’ll have a mojito and some sleep medication. E-drama from earlier echoing in my head. My IRL is so empty and uneventful. I don’t like what I’m turning into.

>>14542992
Find a short term goal, a mid term goal and a long term goal, and don't let go.

>>14543014
Not him but what if those goal change in the way?

>>14543055
kys always an answer for every difficulty

>>14543055
That's natural. Change direction to find your cheese in the maze.

>>14541813
It’s better to go shovel shit for a few months to pay rent than to peace out and cancel the literal millions of paths and options you potentially have available to you. Don’t do something you can’t undo anon, ck loves you (not gay)

>>14541701
I’m good barkeepanon, just made an espresso. In the past few months of looking at my dad/grandad/great grandad’s behavioural patterns and mistakes throughout their lives I’ve come to terms with the fact that family life, and hell, relationships of any kind be it romantic or platonic just aren’t for me. I like me some weightlifting, eating nice food made with premium ingredients and reading a lot. I feel very free, and I hope the penny drops for anons everywhere.

>>14542966
thanks anon, i hope things look brighter for you soon too.
i might need to go under the knife too if this doesnt get better soon. last detour is a bite lock to see if its from grinding my teeth in my sleep. terrified of the surgery though, with how apparently delicate hearing organs are. doc fucks up, ringing gets worse, i think i'd have to eat a bullet. it was at what felt like 40% at its peak, cant go back there again. lowest point of my life by far. wouldnt wish tinnitus on anyone, full stop. what a terrible thing.
same with prostate cancer, jesus. the age recommended for getting it checked keeps getting lower and lower with how prevalent the thing is getting. hope the best for your dad.

I’m a hypochondriac with high levels of constant anxiety and this pandemic makes me feel like any day I’ll be one of the unlucky ones who’s perfectly healthy and still ends up on a ventilator near death or dying. On the bright side being unemployed has been a great vacation from working my ass off the last 6 years. I’ll start with a whiskey sour into a Moscow mule. Then I’ll have a look at the wine list and send me out some nachos and buffalo chicken tenders when you get a chance.

I'm trying to not drink because it makes me look like a walrus.
Days sober: 4

>>14543263
Too many days. Walruses are distinguished, held in high regard.

>>14543263
Pics pls

>>14543269
>distinguished

All my coworkers are mocking me because I got 25 pounds in 2 months when quarantined. No exercise, eat like a pig and drink alcohol all day...

>>14543281
Fatty

>>14541701
A white russian please

>>14541701
A pint of lager, please. Been trying to get a university degree for 3 years now with no accomplishments. Friends all around are finishing their degrees and getting jobs. Applied for some jobs lately. Trying to land a gf. Been dieting as well. Its mostly fine right now, was kinda down in the dumps for the greater part of 2019. Thinking it'll work itself out when I manage to land a job that isn't horrible.

Club soda with lime, please. No I don't drink anymore, I'm 3 months sober. Wait...are you drunk? What type of establishment hires an alcoholic??

>>14541935
Porn set cleanup crew

uno negroni por favour

>>14543451
Keep going, anon. Don't underestimate the strides you've made.

>>14543558
These were popular in like 2011-2012 give or take. Has the internet shortened the time for fads to reach flyover states to as little as eight years? I've noticed far right weirdos from red states also dress like the way cool people dressed at the end of the '00s so I think it's safe to assume we're looking at a roughly 10 year lag now.

Also why did you delete your thread?

i don't feel good, im performing badly, i'm alone, human society is a failure everywhere, i want be alone or death preferably to never have existed

>>14543562
Thanks, fren. Good fortunes to you.

>>14543588
You too, bud.

>>14543566
>Mama
>Ooh ooh ooh

>>14543564
I used to drink Manhattens, but recently discovered negronis. I have started making them with dry gin and dry vermouth so the sugar isn't so cloying. Strong yet refreshing and easy to drink.

>Also why did you delete your thread?
I am a good citizen and didn't want to clutter up /ck/ with alcohol threads.

I'm scared. My situation is honestly pretty okay, started going to therapy, been keeping up a lazy exercise routine so I don't feel like I'm totally going to waste, trying to express myself creatively through music and stuff. But man, it's like, where is the light at the end of the tunnel? The world already had enough doom and gloom before the virus hit and now it's like it's all under a microscope, you can't get away from it. I feel guilty, wondering if I'm worth the resources I take up just being a person. Not feeling like I'm doing enough, or really anything at all beyond basic bare-bones self care. And even with that, I'm still struggling. I'm in my mid 20s now, I've had a lot of ups and downs, mostly downs, and I thought when I was much younger that at this point in my life things would've started coalescing into a more stable and reliable form, but no, chaos is at all an time high. I just can't shake the bad feelings, anon.

Sorry for rambling. A dry martini, please.

>>14543661
Don't feel guilty. You're making progress and moving forward. Right now is a difficult time for a lot of people. Just look around in this thread. So many people have lost their jobs, have lost loved ones, and some are even worried about losing their home. Just keep on fighting the good fight. This storm will end someday and you'll get to see the rainbow. :)

>>14541701
Trying to get into a difrerent job with better pay, but kitchen work is all I know. It's getting hard to safely work in a kitchen now, so I need something like a decent office job. It's hard to do with no relevant qualifications.
And I'll have a double kraken and coke please good sir.

>>14541721
Why not stop taking the tylenol and start drinking? It'll be just as effective for the pain.

>>14543281
Damn dude. I'm a fat fuck and I've lost 2 pant sizes since COVID started.
Wouldve been more if I wasn't drinking beer like a fish.

>>14544380
I'm trying that tonight but my knee hurts really bad. I'm not going to the doctor yet but I've been using crutches for a couple days.

i started having rage fits on the daily recently, haven't spoken to anybody except my mom in months.

i'll have an ardbeg 10
