Open Bar: ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL

[Odibex Grallspice]

Am I an alcoholic? I drink like a half gallon of gin every 3 days.

Dear god.

OK, so I am not an expert, but at the very least, that amount of alcohol will make you fat.

Ok, i did the math.  if you have 4 gin drinks a day, with 5 oz of gin per drink, that will kill a half gallon in three days.

So, it's possible, if not necessarily advisable.

Well, I don't work or anything, so my day is filled with steady drinking, though I don't get drunk, surprisingly. I'm hoping this will save my liver.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

So, in the same world where it's totes cool to down 12 glasses of wine, about two bottles a night, yep, that's totes not drinking too much.

In the meantime, the girl who drinks too much is just going to come out and say, 1/2 gallon of gin every three days is drinking too much, stop that.

A half gallon of gin a week is too fucking much.  A half gallon of gin a MONTH is too much.

I hit my testicles with a hammer all day, but steadily.  I am hoping this this will save my g'nads.

Um, maybe be proactive for a half a minute?

Yeah, maybe someday, I recently asked a girl out on facebook which is progress of a computer sort. Oh, and I forgot I recently had an online relationship with a girl. Lucked out there, but the online thing is kind of worthless, to me anyway.
From Baltimore to Portland is a big move, I know this, see, because I live in Baltimore.

Online MEETING people is fine, but online "relationships" are bullshit. Don't waste your time.

Accountant lived in Portland for years, has a brother here. It's not that kind of massive resettlement that it would be for someone who doesn't already have family and friends and a life here.

I'll try, but I literally crave the stuff when I don't have it.

Yeah, I hear ya. I've never in my life asked a girl out. If I hadn't been somewhat attractive and interesting I would be a forever alone virgin. But eventually, roughly after highschool, the girls stopped asking me out and I've been alone ever since, more or less. And frankly that sucks, but I just don't have the social skills to make something happen. What are ya gonna do, though?

"Go ask a girl out."

The penalty for failure is a "no", which leaves you where you started, not further back.

If I ever even get the opportunity, I surely will, But I, I don't get out so much.

This way lies madness. Go outside. Join a meetup group. Volunteer.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Get a dog. Go to dog parks.

Do SOMETHING.

I mean, it's none of my business if you don't, I'm just giving you advice.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Nigel is giving you the correct answer.  "Go outside" is all you need.

I can't add anything else to this conversation.

Eh, I'm really a mess quite frankly.This world may not be for me. I'm on disability for Bi-polar disorder and the meds just barely keep my head above water. I verily well despise dogs, so that's not going to work.  I find they slobber and hump.

Bipolar and consuming 12 servings of alcohol a day.

I may have identified your problem... it isn't the bipolar disorder, though.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Thread is now misery porn...

BUT

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Also, in case your doctor hasn't told you (I'm sure they have, just joshin') alcohol interferes badly with every bipolar med on the market.

Not that you don't already know this. And if your doc hasn't ever told you this, you have a sweet malpractice suit in your pocket.

[Odibex Grallspice]

No, I laugh and shit. Have a good time party down still. All is not lost, I promise!

You know your business.

"This world may not be for me"

Guess how much sympathy I have for any alcoholic on the planet?

Awwww this much.

5 oz of gin is, in my world anyway, roughly three servings.

Like, not to be a dick but 5 oz is about a glass of wine, volume-wise.

A decent martini is About 8 oz, and is essentially cold gin with a bit of flavor.  Those were the lines I was thinking along.

Again, not advisable, but possible, given the drinking time window.  If you start at noon and go to midnight, it's feasible.
