I honestly considered it. But I can't go to jail again for something stupid, I'm too old.


All it would take is my neighbors calling the police on me for using air tools or playing loud music too late and BAM....On probation and having seizures because I can't drink. Not worth it.

It's crazy how easily people believe all the disinformation the ATF posts everywhere. Alcohol stills are actually pretty safe, Watch the mythbusters episode about them. Literally the only way they could get a still to "blow up" was to clog the worm and have alcohol spill on the open flame

It's laughable that anyone would even use an open flame in the year 2017, Let alone not notice the worm is clogged and pouring alcohol all over the top of the still...But mythbusters is a fake ass show anyway.

>>It's laughable that anyone would even use an open flame in the year 2017, Let alone not notice the worm is clogged and pouring alcohol all over the top of the still
You'd be surprised. I'll give you a real-world example of a still fire that I witnessed: buddy wanted to distill his own booze from bananas, so I loan him my still and we set 'about doing it. We're using an electric hotplate, no open flame. Buddy is supposed to be monitoring the thermometer in the column and gets distracted by his phone. Still boils over in a matter of seconds, splattering distillate everywhere. Instant fire. We got it under control fast and no harm was done, but it does illustrate how a brief distraction can cause an accident.

>>They always to go extremes when shit doesn't work out the way they want it to and make good enough TV
Clearly. I'm not sure how that's relevant though. It's still dumb for people to play around with heat and flammable vapors in an enclosed space.

>There shouldn't be any vapor at all if you are using an alcohol still correctly, Or open flame.
Of course.

But given how stupid most people are either, or both, can happen. That's why it makes sense to be safe. And an electric heater can still act as a source of ignition (sparks in the relay which turns the heater on and off).

I was lucky to avoid that this friday. We were left alone at the bar after our friends had left and before we went to meet up with her boyfriend.
There are no feelings like that between us at, we just trust each other with a lot of things, but it's easy to get confused.
At least I have more of a social life now then in a long time and I'm way less depressed than only a few months ago.
But the drinking has stayed and living a five minute walk from a store that is open until midnight everyday doesn't make things easier.

I should be able to do two or three weeks sober though. Done it before. Baby steps.

Ugh, there was a pub right near my house which got knocked down and turned into flats. 2 months of being woken at 7am every morning, by power tools which sounded like a thousand cannon-flying witches, all screaming into my eardrum at once, for another fun day of listening to it from 7-5, while vomiting so hard I’m convinced I’d turn inside-out.
It got so bad when my idiot neighbour bought an insane rescue dog, that I practically lived in a coffin just to get some sleep. I created a large box to go over my bed, and lined with like a foot of noise-proofing materials. Worked well aside from barely being able to breathe, constantly cracking my head on the thing while drunk, and the chore of having to get in/out of a coffin every time I fancied a drunken coma. Did decide to stop using it some time ago however, as I had a hooker coming over and didn’t want her to think I was a necrophiliac. Now I use earplugs.

I know the source of this kind of question because I have felt it, so I know that the answer doesn't really matter because it will never make sense anyway. But by and large, the answer is yes. There are people like that, and even though many others hate them, even though they are often mistreated and pushed around by the law, they are essentially allowed to exist. Even criminals are allowed to exist. Unless you do something that merits the death penalty, you have to conclude that society does not abhor you enough to demand that you stop living.

Jail isnt anything like military school. you get a couple periods of 1-2 hours daily to walk around the small jail floor. You can also walk around outside in the covered basketball court. The rest of the time (at least 12 hours per 24 hours) is spent in your tiny cell shared with at least one other person.

Alcoholism is a disease. People have been using alcohol for many, many generations, and due to this alcohol has imprinted our DNA. Many people come from lines of people that have used alcohol in place of regular water (beer, wine) as a sanitary beverage. Not only for celebration, but as a way of survival.

It's not hard to understand how those who adapted to alcohol's presence now have an issue with it.

Do it right, distill sober, check your pot for leaks and you won't have ANY vapor. There are extremely simply ways to do this and if you're serious about it and spend a reasonable amount of time researching it you will have close to zero alcohol vapor emissions. Pay attention during the process and there should be zero risk of boiling over; the emission you want from the still is a fast drip or stream thinner than a pencil lead. Keep the worm cold and you'll be in good hands.

Tried Antabuse and Vivitrol injections. You can just stop taking any pills if you feel like drinking, which you will if you can't stop relapsing in the first place. The injection I just got a handle of vodka and drank until it knocked the opioid blockers off and I managed to get drunk. I think I got ~30 days sober that time. Go ahead and take them, but that was my experience.

The only thing that has gotten me more than 90 days is AA. Currently at 279 days and I'm more content than I've ever been, and that's not because of any material changes in my life. Still single, still living paycheck to paycheck, but through building a social network with other sober people and meditation I'm doing really well. Currently rediscovering my love of chess.

I'm a bartender and I can tell you that it varies state by state and there is a huge grey area. You are right that stores and bars are not allowed to sell alcohol to obviously intoxicated people, but if they do they rarely get in trouble for it because the fault is on the person getting themselves drunk not on the person serving them, however, exceptions can be made depending on if there was some horrific outcome results from the alcohol.

I remember when I worked at Olive Garden when I was in school and a girl got fired for not serving a person with cerebral palsy because she thought they were drunk because of some training video they made us all watch, so it definitely can go both ways. Now that I have been bartending for a while, I only cut off people that make my job harder and if you just want to get loaded and aren't disturbing the peace, have at it.

At about 13 drinks a day, 3 days a week, you're on the upper end of normie-tier binge drinking. A half gallon a week isn't really shit by the standards of the good folks of al/ck/, but to a medical professional it would absolutely be reason for concern. Consider the following

>Can you go a two weeks without the typical weekend binges and not miss it?
>Is it interfering with work or school? Friendships or relationships?
>Do you notice yourself filling the gap between binges with occasional drinks?
>Do you use alcohol to cope/forget, or is it mostly just for recreation?

Coming from someone whose drinking ramped up from that sort of binging to full-blown alcoholism, it would be wise to keep an eye on your habit.

A major related concern for me is how do I deal with the stores and their cashiers/waitresses to hide that I have a problem with alcohol.

Given the fact there are about 3 stores that sell bottles in the surroundings, I find myself doing fancy calculations about how I should set my routines to their shops in order to avoid being spotted as a heavy consumer. Also I don't speak or only with lips to hide the smell.

I just buried my cat. I had her for almost half of my life. I got her when I was 18 in college. Drinking a 12 pack of Bell's winter white.
