Anon meets an upstanding citizen

Seems like I'd you're that much of an alcoholic you should just go for the gold and bring your own liquor.

Shits expensive

Denial will do shit to a mofo
- "I only drink when I go out to the bar."
  Goes to the bar for lunch and dinner every day.
- Apparently that's what liquor ads are all about - making hard core alcoholics think that shit is normal and OK.
The dive bar by my house is right next to a Mediterranean restaurant. Staff pops in the bar and always acts like we're supposed to pretend they weren't there. Even if the owner and FOH manager are at the bar taking shots.

Funny post but please people don't take pride in consuming alcohol, or any other substance, too much of anything is bad for you, take care :)

Idk dude, water is pretty great.
- Hyperhydration and hyponatremia are no joke.

I used to work with an alcoholic, she would make coffee with wine in the mornings, just like a spoon full of instant coffee in a mug of wine. And in the afternoon she would walk around with a fork in her mug like she had a cup of noddles. After she was there for like 2 years my boss asked me if I think she was an alcoholic and I started laughing, he legit had nfi she had been drunk every day for the last 2 years

I can’t even think of a sadder drink than that.
- That's easy: the mix of puke, stomach acid, bits of whatever you last ate and the last couple of drinks and beer/wine you had, because you're damn sure not wasting that precious alcohol!
  Another one: the room temp leftovers of all the beers and other drinks from the night/weekend poured into a pint when you're cleaning up. The Hangover Special! Yummy. Bonus points if there's a cigarette/joint butt in there somewhere that you fish out because you didn't notice someone had used that can as an ashtray. Delicious!
- Put it a champagne flute.
Why would you willingly mix caffeine and alcohol :/
- Why not?
- What? It's fairly common and just fine imo
- I used to drink vodka and red bull when I wanted to learn how to swear in other languages playing CS:GO. Most euro premades had one person that spoke enough english for us to get through the game. Fun shit.
- I've never done it but it supposedly makes you not feel drunk. You still totally are but it makes you feel sober so at least there's that?
- Why wouldn't you?
- Idk... but now I have an urge to try it, with wine I mean, I have already tried whisky with coffee and similar stuff. Oh and I also tried that Jaggermaister with Coffee they sell already mixed, wasn't too bad as always needs to be freezer cool to be good.
- To get up to get down?

I have the same shit happen at work, but it's the fry cooks from the Wingstop down the street.

If I go to a Wingstop and the cooks are sober, something seems wrong.
- It's like going to a bowling alley and NOT smelling 20+ years of cigarette smoke in the ceiling tiles.

most of the places that i worked writing code in the 1990s had sales and marketing departments with two drink minimums.

The collapse of the roman empire but with WIFI, welcome to the end!

Rando getting hammered over lunch before going back to work
This is the peak, not the end!
But now the lead is in the water not the wine!

Ahh it's one of those "I need more alcohol for this shit" days at work

I used to work in a metal fab shop years ago. There were a couple of the guys on my shift who would drive to the bar down the road for lunch, drink as much hard liquor as they could in 25 minutes, and then come back to work. The ones who didn't go to the bar instead stepped out back and smoked a joint.

It did leave the break room nice and quiet for me during lunch.

I used to work at a call center with a bar across the street. One day my supervisor invited me to lunch and the second we walked in the bartender started pouring a few shots. Both for him.
Not going to lie after that lunch the second half of the day was a bit easier than the first. Glad I got out when I did.

Should have taken your shot. Lady's a keeper.

As a decade long alcoholic who is just now half a Year in sobriety, drinking is not a keeping trait
- I second this and congrats. I'm 2 years sober and it definitely became a lot easier around the 6 month mark for me. You're crushing it.
For a weekend maybe
Alcoholics are great

Reminds me of when I vacationed in New Orleans. I passed by the city hall at 9 in the morning and out of the building came several men in suits with Hurricanes in hand. Definitely weren’t the only ones with drinks either.
