One month detox

Postby Bur » Sat Jan 21, 2012 6:18 pm

I shall go ahead next month, just to pimp-slap my good friend.

You know this is probaly greatest dare he could've thought of for me and if I manage this he'll owe bottle of beam and jameson.

as I've never been one for drinking without getting drunk the tempation of "just one beer" doesn't seem like a problem. For now I still got over a week to get drunk as balls, started today buy spending 100+ euros in bar just because.

Pappy Vinklen is the shit. I'll keep you good folks updated on how it goes, given there's interest..

don't do it, it could kill you, do you not know how bad undrunkenness is for you?

Ouch.
You'd go a month undrunk for two bottles of booze?
Sounds to me like sadistic torture for a relatively small payoff.

Then again, that's just me...

It's more about bet I got myself in to while drunk.

I'm not backing off and the pay-off is symbolic I'd say.

Glad you can get that in Finland while it's always nearly impossible to find in my city in America.

Good luck, really.

I'd incline to say the same.
When I'm not on a mission, I can never find a reason not to drink during the week-end.

giving up booze for a set period of time "to prove you can" is a classic symptom of alcoholism, we are not alcoholics, we are drunks, don't give in to the will of the drys

That's kind of what I figured...

Prove yourself, but be careful.
If it were me, and I really wanted to do such a thing--I'd wean off for the last three days of your remaining 'drunk week'.
It might make things a tad easier. Then again, that's just me...
