This is so me!!I will roam the alcohol aisle for like an hour trying to see which has the highest percentage not expensive but tastes good too. I always felt weird standing there for too long so sometimes Id just grab something and then I’d come all the way back because I changed my mind and want something better.
How do non alcoholics shop I wonder…mthey probably dont think about it as long or hard.

I drink about 3 and Im feeling really good and happy and then I start to tell myself if you dont keep this buzz youll have a hangover soon…and whats the point of drinking 3 today and 3 tomorrow?When I could just get drunk now and feel great…by the 6th Im a hot mess and want more.Im usually prepared for it too, Ill have bought either some tall cans or another six pack or both.Sometimes Id drink 2 then decide , Im getting drunk today and get in the car and pick up more.
So ridiculous. Im glad my life isnt revolved around that anymore.

Drinking beer was too slow and filling, so I’d only use it as a vodka chaser! So ridiculous. In a way, I was never able to even enjoy the “positive” or “cool” parts of drinking - craft beers, local wines, etc. Because all that mattered was efficiency - the max proof I could stomach in the shortest time. Oh and don’t eat much before, it will slow me down. :disappointed_relieved:
