Hey! Go back to the snake thread!

 

[dallasdave]

I don't drink during work, and I work in the family business (real estate).

Well, I do at times. So that's a lie. But as I've alluded to many times, I'm highly functional.

I have other sources of income as well, but I'd rather not go there (non-illegal, of course). Respectfully.

 

[dallasdave]

ok gimme, I'll pull back. Cheers, my friend (matey)

No go ahead tear him apart

Do you have a job?

How do you hold a job if you are drinking every day during work hours?

My dad is a pipefitter and is one of those all day drinkers. Granted, he does get fired/"laid off" ALOT for gettin caught drunk on a job, but he just goes back home and lives on what he made from that job (he makes somethin like $40 an hour, and he's still just an ordinary Journeyman) until the money gets low or he gets antsy, and he just calls up his local Union and they find him somethin again.....I would gladly follow in his footsteps (Being a Union Pipefitter, not the all day drinking lol) if I wasnt so horrible at math/measurements.

 

[Trouty]

Any one else care to share their drinking habits? lol

Not to be dismissive of your stories about the serious topic of alcoholism, but I Love Beer too.

I've probably had around 2000 different beers in my life.

There are actually breakfast beers, but my favorite early morning beer is oddly Heineken... Usually with something greasy to eat.

Favorite styles ranked:

Belgium Quads
English Pale Ales
Stouts

That said I'm not a beer snob and I've been happily been drinking Miller Lite the past few weeks after a Cowboys watching party left me with an unused case.

Oh and now that the Mrs. And I have bought a house, I often do the cooking now (grilling) and it's been my favorite thing in the world to grill while nursing a cold American lager.

It's almost become an every day thing.

Ever have a Newcastle in the morning? Sublime!

This is an outright ignorant post (as it pertains to Mary Jane). All or nothing posts do nothing but shed a perspective on the person dishing them out.

Yes, it can make its users lethargic, as it does for me, but that side-effect is not an end all, be all. Not even close.

If you want to go there, we can.

(And I like you so very much, Sam, for whatever that's worth. But I will debate this with all my might, as I can cite many folks in my circle who need/use herb for very legit reasons, while also are productive members of our society. Some of which are my heros that you could [I assume] never relate to).

Respectfully, of course.

There is nothing ignorant about what I wrote and it is all fact. Not sure what you're trying to argue here. I think your imagination took what I said and ran with it.

You would be dead in no time. Booze is dirt cheap. Bottle of GOOD Rum is about 6 bucks. Beer in the store is around 45 cents. You can buy Guinness tall boys in a can for 68 cents. Beer in the Cantinas is 75 cents.

How much is PBR?

 

[YosemiteSam]

How much is PBR?

Thinking about moving? hah

 

[Rockport]

Very sorry to hear that about your pops, J. My heart goes up to a fellow comrade in arms.

My dad, too, is a drinker. He is incredibly successful (I think, at least... I guess it's all relative), but I hear ya.

Hearing "functional alcoholic" stings. Not a dig at you, as I clearly go over what scientific America suggests a person drink. I am fearful of my liver, and I go on sabbaticals where I abstain. But I'm sure it's not enough to offset the alcohol damage.

Damn, why does alcohol have to be so damaging (physically/rhetorical)?!

Try weed. It's much, much safer and its medical benefits are amazing especially effective for us vets.

 

[haleyrules]

PBR? Is that Pabst Blue Ribbon? I have never seen it here..plenty of Coors/Bud/Old Milwaukee etc.

How much is PBR?

 

[haleyrules]

Well, as someone who has been on the whole gamut of sleep aids, my hopes and prayers are with you, 50.

I have plenty of people in my life who use various sleep aids to beneficial effect.

Good luck, mang!

Trouty...l use about 6 mgs of melatonin every night or l can't sleep past 3am. Mostly, it works...but not always.

I love drinking int the summer while grilling too. I love love love it.

Sam, it wasn't my imagination, I was referring to your "weed will make you do nothing to" comment.

In any event, sorry if I came across adversarial or argumentative. Peace, brother

That would never work for me, Haley. I've been on much stronger sleep aids that haven't worked or only work for 4-5 hrs tops. And GOOD MORNING, brother!

I have many battles that partake daily

But as I said earlier in the thread, unfortunately Mary Jane's side effects (lethargy, paranoia namely) don't agree with me. But I absolutely support it, brother.
