I'm at 500ml but I'm also 6'2 and 230lbs

>>15277911
Also drink kombucha daily and your shits will be normal.

>>15277898
You have already damaged your liver. Start taking milk thistle and drink more water.

>>15277898
try aiming for 375ml per week

>>15277898
>>15277911
1L-ish a day, plus or minus whatever. My body physically cannot stand the taste of straight 80 proof liquor anymore, so I cut my vodka with water. Most days I don't eat. Cannot stand the taste of anything remotely sweet sweet.
6'9" and 330lbs.

>>15277911
The 375 is minimum. I have lots of 500 days and even some 750s. I simply can't even attempt sleep without the 375 though. Could you recommend kombucha for someone that hates kombucha? Do you know of any easy to find brands that taste radically different than standard kombucha? Because I can't drink the shit as is, taste awful to my palette.

>>15277898
If you've actually been doing that 6 years without a day off, you legitimately can't stop without putting yourself at risk of life threatening seizures. Consult a doctor to safely detox. You've damaged your body for sure. You should definitely stop, but it's up to you. Good luck.

>>15277933
I get costco brand ginger. Best by far is the gts brown bottles that are like 3%abv. Humm is probably best if you don't like the taste because they flavor it the sweetest. I don't think they work as well though.

>>15277952
Lmao this is untrue. Just taper off over 2 days and use benadryl to sleep. You realize 375ml is a very small amount right? I worked at a rehab for 3 years and real full blown alcoholics stay drunk all the time and can do a handle a day, over 2x the amount. Op is drinking half a fifth and is a problem binge drinker more than an alcoholic that needs to be drunk constantly.

>>15277952
DTs are a meme. I honestly miss the crazy fever dreams I'd get going cold turkey for a week. Now I'm lucky if I even get the random auditory hallucinations.

>>15277932
Andrea the giant tier

>>15277965
Yeah, I don't drink all day. It's pretty much all consumed within 2 hours or so every night before bedtime. Get ripped, enjoy it for an hour or so and then sleep.

Im 400 to 750 ml every night for over 10 years. I also lift 4 days a week and eat well. My guts are fucked up. If I have to travel or do something not near a bayhroom, I wont eat. I cook healthy meals every night while drinking vodka. I plan on quittong and getting more into fitness. Ive recently started having vertigo and panic attacks while driving

Lmao @ these dumb niggers boasting about how pathetic their lives are, what is this the disability olympics? Fuck off my /ck/

lol I’ve been drinking 1.5 liters per day for the past 2 years and I’m just fine. I’m 5’10 and 160 lbs. don’t worry, OP.

>>15277898
You can continue on like this more or less forever. The dangers of alcohol consumption are highly overrated, and mostly relate to secondary issues such as nutritional deficiency and chronic dehydration.

>>15277994
Which is more pathetic, being able to recognize ones faults? Or having such low self esteem that you can't scroll past a thread and feel compelled to get angry at text on a monitor?

>>15278003
>this
Nobody ever died from being an alcoholic

>>15277994
>boasting
Are you even reading the posts? We know we're fucking broken.

>>15277991
Kombucha bro

I’m glad my drinking is limited to a few small pours of bourbon once a week instead of this shit, hope you guys do alright.

>>15278007
I wouldn't go that far. There are definitely people who have died from alcohol toxicity. But you need to drink a fuckload more than OP drinks before there's a risk of that.

>>15278031
Alcohol isn’t even unhealthy. That was made up by the marijuana lobby.

>>15277998
I dont even drink half that at 6' 190 and I feel shitty half the time. If you are legut, you have to get better

>>15278045
I’m young, 26. I feel fine, except for the hang overs.

>>15278061
Chug water before bed. I know it's mentioned all the time but it legitimately is the cure for hangovers. The majority of the effects of a hangover are from dehydration, yes, some compounds also cause them but it's 90% dehydration. It might be unpleasant to sit and chug a 2 liter of water when you're drunk and want to sleep but it's a small price to pay to wake up feeling fine.

>>15278084
I’ll try it tonight

>>15278092
You'll piss with the force of a demon, but guaranteed you'll feel far better than if you didn't.

>>15278119
I also like to drink electrolyte mix with this as alcohol depletes your potassium.

>>15277898
a) Take a supplement or two to protect your liver
>NAC
>Milk thistle
>Liv 52
b) You need to go through withdrawal or this is going to end badly. If not for your liver, then for your job, relationships, self-respect and the respect of others. Plan this around work, like take a vacation and plan to spend the entire vacation at home and not drinking. You could switch to pot instead if that is easier than complete sobeiety. If you find it impossible to withstand the withdrawal and end up drinking again then you need more serious help, like supervised rehab.
c) If you do successfully quit and decide to start again, give yourself firm rules. No day drinking, no drinking before work. Consider switching to something softer like beer. And most importantly you must regularly take long breaks. Like, do sober October every year, or do a New Year's resolution to quit for the first month of every year.

>>15277994
Imagine inadvertently admitting you find these people's drinking habits impressive even though they're just being honest about their drinking habits

>12 shots
>375 mL

a unit of 40% is 44 mL (equiv to 12 oz of 5% beer or 5 oz of 12% wine). you're only getting ~8 actual shots of liquor, so 56 units a week. bad, but not likely to end your life at 40-50 bad. More like cirrhosis in 60's bad (unless your nutrition is absolute shit otherwise)

>>15278152
Regular exercise and not being fat helps the liver more than supplements.

>>15277932
I feel this but only 6'2" and 290. Usually have 500-600 ml of 50%+ and IPA's to chase it. All of the day, but at least I wind up getting a gallon of water in me each day since I don't allow myself any other drink

>>15278162
I'm 6'2", 275lbs. Fatty, but I do eat balanced meals regularly.

>>15278172

>>15277911
Holy shit is being tall a factor in being a boozebag? Are all of you guys germanic or northern yuro in herritage?

>>15278179
OP here. Can't speak for the others but my father's side is almost 100% irish and my mother's side is almost 100% polish. I'm a stupid potato.

>>15278084
>>15278119
This is true. You will probably still feel a little off or tired for most of the day but you shouldn't have a headache or stomach issues.

>>15277972
Not sure if autocorrect or a joke.

>>15278168
Yeah, I drink a fucktonne of water. I have hereditary polycystic kidneys, but as long as I drink as much water as I can (nephrologist's recommendation), it's more or less asymptomatic. Which is hilarious, because I've seen the CT scans and my kidneys are football-sized shits that look like a bunch of grapes.

>>15278179
Psychosociobiological model of alcoholism is complex. That said, I come from a long line of problem drinkers who would emigrate to another country and try to start a new life while hiding their past from their children.

>>15278179
I'm mostly romanian and german. I think my method of consumption helps too. For several years now I only ever drink off work, or after 6 hours of being awake on days off. Only water as a chaser, decent meals (albeit too large. alcohol is a huge appetite enhancer for me, on top of being cals in itself.)
>>15278215
I'm glad to hear it. Growing up I didn't really like drinks that weren't ice water, so I kinda lucked out in that way. Certainly not in the general alcoholism department tho

For comparison, 100ml/day pass you in the CDC's "heavy drinker" category

>>15278351
Kek. That’s not even 3 drinks per day. Those guys clearly don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about.

>>15278351
The CDC also recommends not having Christmas.

>>15278394
On second thought, that is 3 drinks per day. Still too low.

I drink about 15 standard drinks a day. I find Miller 64 really slows me down. That being said, I tried drying out and had my first WD hallucinations on Tuesday, that was fun.

>>15278528
You do realize that hallucinations are due to lack of sleep right? Because passing out isn't good rem sleep? All you have to do is take a benzo or a barb or even an ambien since sedatives are related to benzos and sleep on and off for a few days. If you can't get those use zzzquil because it has a tad of alcohol in it.

>>15278351
This is my favorite drinking song. It's classic country western of a proto jimmy buffet variety.

>>15278011
Bullshit ya'll are trying to outman each other by claiming you drink more than the other. Getting drunk is not impressive, it's what impulsive savages do.

>>15279066
Lol are a manlet mad that everybody itt is a big boi?

>>15277898
Having beer as well as liquor led to me drinking less overall

>>15279109
Light beers literally can't be drunk fast enough to catch a buzz so using them as a time spacer is smart. They cause horrible gas though.

>>15277898
The tricky thing about alcohol is everyone is different. Some people will already have alcoholic hepatitis at the rate you described. Unless you seriously cut back or quit entirely, you are on borrowed time my friend. I would guess 4 years max till you have serious illness like pancreatitis or hepatitis.

Get medical help if you need to with detox. Seek out support where you can. Good luck friend.

>>15277898
Nigger you’ll be fine

>>15279181
>only pints

>>15279185
One in the morning and one at night

>>15279135
Hepatitis is a comunicable disease anon not a symptom of alcohol abuse.

>>15279188
I'm just well aware you choose this for the discression and carry them around despite handles being cheaper.

>>15279195
Handles go in the freezer for weekends.

How do people get this bad? You can feel just as drunk if you dont drink often because you wont have tolerance

>>15279238
It's a relaxing habit at the end of the work day before bedtime. After a while you have anxiety until you drink a bit and this anxiety keeps ramping up. You'll also not be able to sleep unassisted and have a panicky go of sleeping the first night on and off in very short intervals if at all with fevered dreams.

All these alcoholics in this thread right now giving advice about maintaining their addiction.

The absolute size of this lad

>>15278401
Diminishing returns actually sets in around $90-100 these days

>>15278003
What about fucking up your liver?

>>15279309
Livers are remarkably resilient. You usually don't see cirrhosis until alcoholics hit their mid 50s. I only saw a couple guys with fucked livers in their 30s and they were going hard or mixing percosets that had tylenol with their drinking. Tylenol is far worse for the liver than alcohol. Jaundice is also commonly reversable. But there is a tipping point that you can't come back from. Puritanical americans overblow liver damage by a LOT. In the UK or Australia where they weren't founded by Calvinists they go fucking hard but their health isn't any worse than Amerilards who pound vegetable oil and sugar instead.

>>15279309
Your stomach/heart will fuck up long before your liver

Guys I'm not getting that drunk anymore but when I drink I get head pressure and random pain like in the base of my neck up my head. Taking the day off because I want to actually get drunk on Christmas. Did I fuck up my brain?

>>15279444
This, the gallbladder is one of the first things that fucks up and the heart has the most long term damage because it is the worst self repairing organ in the body.

>>15278003
Yeah it's like covid

>>15279449
Sounds like high blood pressure.

I drank like that for 40 years before i quit last week

>>15279476
Maybe, I've not checked it lately but I've been running and working out while home

>>15277898
how are your shits?

>>15279476
>>15279476
Just checked it and it's high 165/9X but not higher than it's been in previous times when I was heavier and lest healthy. I'm getting piss-my-pants drunk on Christmas and will cope with the after effects but might take it easy until NYE.

>>15279181
BASED BARTON BRO! You just sippin or you mixin?

>>15279722
That's fucking high bro. Mine was 136/85 at the highest

>>15279432
I agree, a lot of people do stupid other shit that hurts their liver. If you live a healthy lifestyle with the exception of drinking too much, you're probably better off than most people.

>>15279722
Yeah bro that's high, systolic of >140 is the cutoff for stage II hypertension which is basically as high as the staging goes. It's not hypertensive urgency/emergency levels(180/110) where you're looking at possible IMMEDIATE problems, but it's definitely in the range to take meds or else you're at higher risk to stroke out/get a heart attack at 50 ala Jack.

>>15279238
I can't speak for anybody else, but I just slipped into a rut after my dad died. It was a couple of cocktails nearly every day after work, plus at the time I usually drank on the weekends with my girl. Then the cocktails didn't numb me enough, so I'd add a beer or two. Then a sister died, then my mom, and it escalated further. And so on until I was at a fifth a day plus chasing with beer.

I'd wager for nearly every person that slips into the lifestyle, there was some catalyzing event or deep insecurity that led to them masking it with alcohol. When you use it as a fix and not as fun, there's not really any such thing as "don't drink as often."

What's worse, I don't think I can reduce, I'll just have to stop. Maybe after a long time of being away from it or if I only limit myself to drinking when I'm out in a group? But at home? I doubt it. There's that saying, one is too many and 10 isn't enough. It would be difficult to trust myself with a bottle in the house and not drink it all.

>>15277898
go to hams.cc to learn more

read up on wetbrain, thiamine deficiency, and kindling. these are bad and ruin you permanently.

>>15279722
Treat that shit bro. See a doctor. That is very high.

Did the jannies really delete the eggnog and fish sauce thread? I fucking hate jannies so much.
