Narps Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 GOD I miss having a dam beer I don't. Well, maybe I miss having one, but I don't miss having seventeen, or whatever, in addition to hard liquor and mixed drinks...and all of the ruin and humiliation that resulted from them. Yes exactly. Thats why I don't do anything. Sometimes on a nice warm sunny day it would be awesome to have a 40oz. of Heiney at the beach then go home and make mexican food!!!! Heine was good...I was always a Newcastle guy, more than anything else. With any kind of food, or none. :D After I quit drinking in 2001, I was in Amsterdam in 2002 and we walked across the city and I came face to face with THE Heiny brewery. I dam near made a b-line for the place thinkin BREWERY TOUR!!!!!! Then I remembered I was sober..... I was pissed!!!! Before I decided to get myself in tip top shape last May I used to drink tons of beer. 3-6 beers every evening for about 10 years straight to relax after work and weekends. I must be in a different category than someone who quits and can never go back. Even after all that beer drinking every day and day after day, I can have a couple once in a while now whenever I feel like it. I have had very little over the past months but I could have a few if I felt like it and have done so. Maybe its the difference between a "habit" and "addiction"?... :)Addiction is a chemical imbalance in the brain, usually inherent. Not all family members will inherit this chemical but the ones who do are at risk. What this chemical does is provide delusional thinking and prevents us from saying I've had enough time to go. It had me good! But I still miss chillin with a beer on occasion :)So sad to hear.... :( I guess I can do it because I have from time to time. I should consider myself fortunate I suppose..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is fortunate- I wouldn't wish alcoholism on anyone, no matter what. I remember the first guy I talked to who was sober, because I didn't know what was going on with me- he was a friend of mine. I was drinking a whole lot more than I ever had before, and I didn't know why...I felt like sh*t, and for some reason, I couldn't stop doing it. But I thought maybe I wasn't so much different from anybody else, either (another manifestation of that delusional thinking that Lady April mentioned above). And this friend, when I got done talking, he asked me- "Do you think you have a problem?" (A problem with drinking, you know). And I couldn't answer- I had to sit and think about it some. And he told me a little later on that that was sort of a giveaway- that if someone asks you that question and you can't immediately just say no- if you have to think about it- then you probably have something to deal with, there. (Ahhh, the beginning of my awakening). So I would say if you can have a couple, and then stop, you're in good shape. That's not alcoholism, so no worries. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobo73 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 just like soda, certain beers taste better ice cold in a can, and some taste way better ice cold in a bottle :)And I sip my beer. I finish my beer, but I cannot chug it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) just like soda, certain beers taste better ice cold in a can, and some taste way better ice cold in a bottle :)And I sip my beer. I finish my beer, but I cannot chug it.I've never found a soda or beer I like more in a can than a bottle. There are some I like on draft better, but never preferred the can to anything. I can't even tell you the last time I drank anything from a can. We do not drink soda often at our house, but when we do - it's always bottles of Sprecher. Tried this last weekend... interesting flavor. I could taste the spice in in, black pepper-ish, they said it was grains of paradise:http://beerpulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/chameleon-witty.png Edited March 31, 2014 by Lost In Xanadu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Principled Man Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I finish my beer, but I cannot chug it. Chugging is for kids at the local college bar. Those of us who drink beer for other reasons can relax and enjoy it.....one sip at a time. :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
