Title: How often do some of you guys drink alcohol? Is it becoming a problem?
Post by: King Shizzo on December 08, 2014, 07:32:36 AM
I don't want to mention specific names, but I have noticed a few Getbiggers who I feel might have a drinking problem. I know I joked for a long time about my issues with alcohol, but I was just denying the real problem that I had.

Today marks 6 weeks without a drink for me, and it really hasn't been that bad in my particular case.

I am still tempted to have a drink sometimes, but it's just not worth going down that rabbit hole again.

Now I would like to ask my fellow Getbiggers (who drink) these questions:

Do you feel that you have your drinking under control?

Do you drink everyday?

Do you drink even while you are alone?


Maybe Ron would consider a subforum where recovering addicts can go for questions, help, and support

I have been to 10 AA meetings now, and I can tell you that a Getbig support group could be just as powerful.

I was never into wine myself. Actually, never liked beer much either. Thought they all tasted like shit.

Which brings me to another question:

Do you drink for feeling rather than the taste? I know I did. I just needed my "buzz".

It usually starts with a few glasses of red wine, then before you know it, you wake up with a prolapsed anus.

6 weeks.  I will be going to an annual family christmas party in a few weeks and they always have plenty of alcohol around.

I will think about taking a drink, but it will take a conscious effort to grab a drink pour/open the bottle, and then drink it. That is what I do have control over.

wine is enjoyable,social,and goes cheap and expensive and in between,getting a good value/taste sometimes is better than paying a lot..

I don't drink often but WHEN I drink I go all out....as in I don't remember coming home or where I was type of drink.

One night I came round and I was in someone's house getting a blowjob, whilst I'm being sucked I was trying really really hard to remember how it came to this, who is this girl sucking me and where the fuck am I?

Next morning I wake up and it's my girlfriend of 6 months, and I was at her place somehow, I drank so much I forgot I had a girl friend.

I was a little disappointed cos I hoped it was someone knew and I had scored that night, but it was just my gf I forgotten about from drinking so much. But to answer your question no I don't have a drinking problem.

Not much, but it's pretty tasty.
I use stronger alcohol only as a mouthwash or if  I have sore throat.

You bring up a good point. Addiction in general could be the topic.

And BBers takings steroids for years and years (despite health risks) is absolutely an addiction.

You guys need to know that you don't have to drink literally everyday to have a problem with alcohol.

If you get plastered every weekend, there is a chance that you are atleast abusing it.

Casual drinking would be having a few drinks a couple days out of the month.

Grown men having hangovers/blackouts every weekend is a cause for concern.

Steroid are an addiction too. I have seen guys start in college then for decades pursue the syringe and vial life style. It becomes an addiction because of several reasons. When on you feel great almost like an anti depressant feeling of well being. You feel aggressive and confident. When off cycle and it takes time to clear your system you feel timid, depressed and nervous. Some rationalize like smokers do that they know an 80 year old who still kicking and began smoking at 15. Yes they exist but it doesn't change it's a risk to health.

You also get addicted to all the compliments you get on your drug acquired physique. It feeds the insecure little boy that needs you're a man affirmations from others. I can't count how much money guys have spent through the years buying this crap. I know guys that have thrown away the pursuit of a career following the syringe life. Then when they are in their 40's give up the life style due to finances, health or even arrest many state training with the drug assist is a waste of time and stop training.

This is my opinion but if you have addiction problems to alcohol you are at risk for all addictions.

No rhyme or reason. might go a week, weeks or even a month or two at a time without a drink then could drink two or three nights in a row.
I've never felt I needed a drink {like I had a tough day at work or a fight with my girl}
I drink for fun and won't let if effect me in a bad way.....lets say I have something important the next day at work or personal, then I'm not drinking the night before.

Any other moment seems suitable to get absolutely piss smashed weither being alone or with others.

I usually have a glass of merlot or a cocktail before bed most evenings.  About every two or three weekends I go out with some friends and drink 4-6 drinks, usually fine, hard liquor and some hoppy and exotic beer I've never had before. 

It's not a problem until it affects your health or your goals.  For some people that takes very little and for some it's not an issue.  For example, my mom used to have a glass of wine and become a raging bitch for hours on end.  Me or my father could drink until we passed out and never get angry if we wanted to (never tried it).

Lesson here is 'know your limits.'

Reminds me of the fact there's an actual IPA called the raging bitch. It's great.

It's excellent!  Like a garlicky, spicy sauerkraut.  As a matter of fact, that's exactly what it is....sauerkraut seasoned with garlic & chilies.

Very healthy, teeming with probiotic cultures

Your description doesn't sound to bad.

Though i wouldn't question mr Bulldog on this.

I must give props, good thread.

I turn 56 tomorrow so I have been through it for a while. Became dependant on pot at 13, booze and coke at 17 and continued that until I was about 30-32 years old. Quit the drugs @ 30 and quit the booze @ 32. I decided to take up weight lifting after that and began taking steroids shortly after. Took my last shot about about 6 weeks ago. Even after a bout with cancer and a blood disorder that put me in the hospital due to the steroid use I continued on with steroids.  About 3 months ago I was put in the hospital again. I had another issue with my blood due to the test I was taking.  It is called polycythemia. I had to have a pint of blood drained twice a week for 8 weeks until it thinned out. My hemotologist said if I did not quit the test I would permantely have to get my blood drained. They use 16 gauge needles in the crook of the arm to drain it. I finally got smart and quit the test. I have been off test for about 6 weeks and I miss the shit out of it. I loved the way it made me feel. But I don't miss those huge ass needles in my arm.

I have a very addictive personality. Addictions come in all types of forms. Now I don't drink, don't do drugs and don't juice. But I still enjoy life. But as you can tell even though I went through hell fucking up my body especially with the steroids. My addictive nature overpowered my common sense. Started at 13, quit at nearly 56. Lucky to be alive. I am not saying all this for pity. I did it to myself. I just thought my experience and what I went through might let someone know that you may be fine now but some of this shit takes it toll on your body years down the road.

Good luck to anyone trying to get clean.

Thanks for sharing and I would honestly like to put to rest any bad blood between us.

I would never knowingly or purposely make fun of someone's disease or health problems.

So you had polycythemia because you were taking too much test?

So how are you coping with that? Is your natural test completely shut down?

So basically you partied like a champ till 32? And then swapped that lifestyle for juicing (which in the end was the major onslaught on your health)?

By all means, though. Still happy to read you're doing good right now. And are okay with being clean/off.

I guess I should consider myself lucky. I never dabbled in rec drugs or even smoked cigs. I was able to get control of an alcohol problem that was only a few years in the making.

Now it's time to get lean and mean. I have lost 65 pounds before and I will do it again.

This is a pic of me when I was about 175-180 pounds (Probably around 3 years ago)

As you can see, alcohol was a major factor in my weight gain. It made me tired and lethargic all the time, not to mention all of those empty calories.

I would like to put it to rest to. Let's consider it done and over with. Thank you!

Yes, the test was making me create too many red blood cells. The episode I had a few months ago I was feeling like shit for a week. Then I was at work and I could tell my blood pressure was high. I took it and it was 202/103. I was admitted to the hospital to drain my blood 3 times in 3 1/2 days. They have to use 16 ga needles because the blood is the consistency of ketchup. The first time this happened 7 years ago it thickened so bad it stroked out my colon. Luckily it did not stroke my heart. I had bad abdominal pains, went to shit and filled the bowl with blood. But like a dumb fuck I continued on steroids 2 weeks out of the hospital.

My test levels are actually not too bad. Staying in the low to mid 200's. Considering what I have done I am lucky. I do miss the feeling I got from the test but I think I finally am smart enough or more like not so hard headed to where I won't do it again.

I partied so fucking hard till 32, it was stupid. Staying up for days. Buddy own a topless bar in Orlando. I moved down there and sold coke to all his dancers. Needless to say I fucked dancers everynight. Just glad it was before AIDS was even heard of. Thanks for the kind words. I am doing great off of everything but test. I miss it. I would get a euphoric feeling from it. Plus I would get horny just looking at drywall.  ;D

I am not a big fan of alcohol.

If I have to drink Alcohol, I can do maybe a glass or two of wine every now and then, as in once or twice a month at most.

I can stomach a good Riesling. I am also a fan of unorthodox wines, like that of fermented honey wine (like those consumed in Ethiopia, as well as some of the bigger Middle Eastern countries).

A well prepared Sangria can be nice too on occasion.

I don't know why I was drawn to vodka in particular? Maybe it was because it was milder tasting compared to rum, whiskey, bourbon etc....

I remember trying Jack Daniel's Honey Whiskey and thinking that it was some of the worst tasting shit ever! The best way to describe it would be: wet, moldy, cardboard.

One of the old guys in AA made me die laughing the other day. He said: "Most people are full of shit when it comes to alcohol. Most drinks taste like shit, and the only reason people put up with the taste, is because there is alcohol in it. "Oh I am a wine Connoisseur!" Bullshit! he said. They are just alcoholics. Why don't they just stuff a bunch of grapes in thier mouths then?"

Glad to hear you're having a blast at AA stallion.

I do ask myself here if you're not just seeking a problem? Todays offficial standard's of alcoholism are tighter than a ducks butt.

A true alcoholic is a person who drinks to the point of stomach ulcer's, puking a pint of blood and continuing straight away. Waking up and having shaking hands till a drink sinks in. Someone who sneakily drinks an odorless hard liquor during his daily job and bends himself in all kinds of ways to get it.

I can drink months every evening long by myself (or in good company) yet refrain myself from going to work smashed. I can also stay sober for prolonged periods of time.

Lot's of problem's but alcohol aint one  ;D

Take it easy

I never went to work drunk either. But you have to ask yourself why you would drink everyday for months on end?

At the very least you are probaby abusing alcohol.

I never said I ever hit rock bottom, but I consider puking practically everyday (sometimes multiple times) a problem.

In any event you are poisoning your body.

I thought I was a rare case with the polycythemia but when I was going for my drains this last time there was 4-8 other people everytime getting it done. Many were cancer patients. Yea, those needles are a bitch. I called them garden hoses.
On top of all this shit I have had 5 major back surgeries including 2 fusions. A buddy gave me some buds for the pain but I have not smoked it. I really can't because I have to go to a pain clinic for my Kadian (designer morphine) for my back and they drug test every so often. I am sure I am hooked on pain meds but this Kadian is awesome shit. It makes my life liveable with the back pain. Yea I know, I am a fucking mess.  ;D

Come on, it was fun and you know it. Think of the areas on women that you have snorted coke off of. I had this one dancer I put coke on her asshole so I could bang her anally. I left it on there for a bit and when I went down to snort it and the bitch farted it all over my face. I guess her ass was numb and couldn't hold it. See, memories like that are priceless.

I'm not a weak pussy that can't control my disgusting habits/urges so no addictions of any kind,  lest it be alcohol. Last time I got proper hammered were when my mate's wife had a baby and invited us all round just before she came home with the kid. We were drinking bottles of $1000 whiskeys (taste the same as the cheap shit) and knocking back vodka shots.

Before that, months. I never drink apart from in business social settings. But then it's not strictly classed as drinking, it's more of a chess game.

I had similar was one of the reasons I stopped taking TRT, had 4 or 5 venesections to get rid of the blood, I hadn't taken more than 1ml a fortnight for years but my levels were still high and asprin wasn't cutting it, I am curious to how much you were using though, guys I know in san fran are being treated for TRT with venesection being part of the treatment, its not mainstream but theres doctors up there who understand the benefits and assist trying to neutralise the blood negative but good luck my haematologist just told me no more TRT and thats been it, he wouldnt even consider such a protocol,

I had similar was one of the reasons I stopped taking TRT, had 4 or 5 venesections to get rid of the blood, I hadn't taken more than 1ml a fortnight for years but my levels were still high and asprin wasn't cutting it, I am curious to how much you were using though, guys I know in san fran are being treated for TRT with venesection being part of the treatment, its not mainstream but theres doctors up there who understand the benefits and assist trying to neutralise the blood negative but good luck my haematologist just told me no more TRT and thats been it, he wouldnt even consider such a protocol,

With this last episode I was pinning 1 1/2 ml of sust and test mixed twice a week. When I had the first bad episode 7 years ago I was on 3 ml of test and Deca mixed twice a week. The blood draws were really blood letting but the name was phlebotomies.

“In 2000, it was selling for $175 a bottle." Jonathan Goldstein, of Manhattan's well-stocked Park Avenue Liquor Shop, is discussing the significant retail price hike over the past few years for Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 23-Year Bourbon. "Now it's going for $500 or $1,000 or more. It's almost a tenfold price increase in 14 years."

Come on, it was fun and you know it. Think of the areas on women that you have snorted coke off of. I had this one dancer I put coke on her asshole so I could bang her anally. I left it on there for a bit and when I went down to snort it and the bitch farted it all over my face. I guess her ass was numb and couldn't hold it. See, memories like that are priceless.

Haha holy shit, that's classic  ;D ;D

That's the stereotypical television version of an alcoholic.  True alcoholics can exist without any of those behaviors.


No, it's not. My hands shake every morning. And I'm only 30. You don't want to know how many times I've went to work still slightly drunk from the night before.

I take my hat off to any of you that can quit. I wish I could. Just weak in that area in life. Hell, I'm drinking now. :/

Many people who get withdrawals after drinking never come to the conclusion that they in fact have withdrawals. When you hear people say things like "I had a hang over for 3 days". Their probably dealing with withdrawls...

Just the occasional beer or wine, I never understood why people drink to the point of sickness.

Because some need to build up the balls to do certain things or just be more sociable. Booze is an introverts best friend and also worst enemy.

I lived in a bottle for years and years. The routine was usually drink until I was falling drunk, blackout then be hung over the next day or two, pretend I was going to quit, then start all over. So it was usually 2 or 3 times a week. How much? At my worst I could clear a fifth of hard booze. Or if I'm going the other way (no homo) I'd be 2 bottles of red wine and 2 or 3 beers. That was routine for about 15 years. Stoppwd drinking about 5 years ago but haven't always successful. In those 5 years If say I've been pissed 4 or 5 times. Last drop of booze was a year ago or so.

Once you get to the point of physical addiction (drinking night and day, every day), withdrawals can be deadly. Wouldn't detox at home, my friend, it could kill you.

Also, Xanax, or whatever you're taking for anxiety is incredibly addictive, too. Withdrawals from benzos are hell, too. How many mg per day?

Well, I can't take certain types of medication due to my line of work. Am on Lexapro, at the moment. Which is incredibly embarrassing, btw. I remember the first time I had an anxiety attack. Thought I was having a heart attack. Scary shit.

Yeah, I hear ya on the detoxing.

I'll be honest ... this thread has really opened my eyes. Plus, I've received a couple pm's. Sad thing is, is that I know I have a problem. And I hate being addicted to alcohol. But definitely easier to deal with it when speaking to those who have been there.

Really should go back to AA. But some of the fuckers that show up there have some really serious issues that go beyond alcohol. Fuck that. I still go to work everyday and pay all my own bills. I function. Just tend to go overboard pretty much every night in the alcohol department. And, of course, there's pussy, too. Haha.

Just because there are people who have totally destroyed their lives with alcohol doesn't mean you should deprive yourself of any help that is on offer. You would be sensible to join to make sure you never get to that point. Good luck my friend.

Interesting.

So you're saying there are people who are true alcoholics who have no withdrawal symptoms (no physical dependence) and are able to lay off on alcohol at any given time for any amount of time necessary (so no psychological dependance strong enough to not control behavior)?

I don't really believe that. One can argue it's unhealthy and as Shizzo says you may be abusing it. But it's a habbit and always a choice.

The public view on addiction is so variant. In Mediterranean country's its normal and widely accepted that you drink whine during lunch/diner (even if it's a work meeting).

I can only tell you from my personal experience. I drank everyday for about three years. Sometimes I could drink .750ml bottle in a day.

I did not experience any noticeable withdrawl symptoms in the last 6 weeks.

I guess I am extremely lucky.

Alcohol is notorious for having some of the most serious withdrawls.

Can I ask what you do now that replaces drinking? Meaning what ever addiction someone has when they quit it they normally have to fill that void of time with something. I normally just went to a different addiction unfortunately. Now my time is devoted to my family. Especially my granddaughter.

i just came off xanax after almost 8 years or so and im feeling ok,had nasty headaches for the first 3 weeks and couldnt sleep but thats about it. i cycled myself down to less than a .25 aday, thats practiclly nothing and thats why i didnt get much withdrawels. ive never went higher than 1mg in those whole 8 years either,always stayed in the range of 1,id like to do a half of a mg in the morning when i got up and another half in the evening.there where times occasionally where id take a whole 2mg bar just to get a nice buzz and drink a glass or 2 of wine but that was mostly on christmas/new years/thanksgiving ect.when i did take that 2mg i was really really sedated bigtime

I guess I should consider myself lucky. I never dabbled in rec drugs or even smoked cigs. I was able to get control of an alcohol problem that was only a few years in the making.

Now it's time to get lean and mean. I have lost 65 pounds before and I will do it again.

This is a pic of me when I was about 175-180 pounds (Probably around 3 years ago)

As you can see, alcohol was a major factor in my weight gain. It made me tired and lethargic all the time, not to mention all of those empty calories.

I wouldn't be able to get through life without a double scotch and a Cuban cigar. I never smoke or drink two days in a row though, once a week is my usual allowance. Clears my head and helps stay lean and dry.

Here we have 18yr old Chivas whiskey paired with a Monterrey Epicure No2

I would like to put it to rest to. Let's consider it done and over with. Thank you!

Yes, the test was making me create too many red blood cells. The episode I had a few months ago I was feeling like shit for a week. Then I was at work and I could tell my blood pressure was high. I took it and it was 202/103. I was admitted to the hospital to drain my blood 3 times in 3 1/2 days. They have to use 16 ga needles because the blood is the consistency of ketchup. The first time this happened 7 years ago it thickened so bad it stroked out my colon. Luckily it did not stroke my heart. I had bad abdominal pains, went to shit and filled the bowl with blood. But like a dumb fuck I continued on steroids 2 weeks out of the hospital.

My test levels are actually not too bad. Staying in the low to mid 200's. Considering what I have done I am lucky. I do miss the feeling I got from the test but I think I finally am smart enough or more like not so hard headed to where I won't do it again.

wow man sorry to hear u went thru that hell,that musta been scary ass shit seeing your blood pressure go to 202/103 :o and then u shitted blood on top of that,i woulda had a heart attack prolly if that happened to me just from the nerves and fear. glad to see u r rebounding from it,stay away from the test bro cause u dont want it to come back again,not worth your life bro so stay strong

The thread's confessors notwithstanding this is largely a cultural thing.  Moderate daily drinking is the norm most places I've been.  According to US standards the entire rest of the world is alcoholic.

I drink almost daily.  Not when I'm too busy or would rather just go to sleep but if I've got time for Getbig or a movie (most days) I'll have a few drinks with my feet up.  Generally two or three beers, wines (non-expensive), or scotch.  Frankly, I'd like to drink more but time of night and not wanting to risk feeling sludgy in the morning sends me to bed.  

And of course I'm drinking alone.  I live alone.  When I go out then I have to drive home so I can't drink.  Wtf you want me to do?  Get married so I can drink scotch and post on Getbig?  I don't think she's gonna let me do that every night!

The thread's confessors notwithstanding this is largely a cultural thing.  Moderate daily drinking is the norm most places I've been.  According to US standards the entire rest of the world is alcoholic.

I drink almost daily.  Not when I'm too busy or would rather just go to sleep but if I've got time for Getbig or a movie (most days) I'll have a few drinks with my feet up.  Generally two or three beers, wines (non-expensive), or scotch.  Frankly, I'd like to drink more but time of night and not wanting to risk feeling sludgy in the morning sends me to bed.  

And of course I'm drinking alone.  I live alone.  When I go out then I have to drive home so I can't drink.  Wtf you want me to do?  Get married so I can drink scotch and post on Getbig?  I don't think she's gonna let me do that every night!
You should try to go a few weeks without a drink, and see how you feel.

I bet you will have some sort of cravings for alcohol. Then ask yourself why your brain is whispering "I want a drink".

I am not saying you are an alcoholic, but you have gone beyond  the stage of social drinking in my opinion.

Can I ask what you do now that replaces drinking? Meaning what ever addiction someone has when they quit it they normally have to fill that void of time with something. I normally just went to a different addiction unfortunately. Now my time is devoted to my family. Especially my granddaughter.
Its funny, I find myself craving desserts or Ice cream more than ever before. Its definitely a void thing.

I just have to show some restraint, and switch my focus to diet and exercise.

Not a bad addiction to switch to.

It's funny you say that. I turned to chocolate when I got off the test. I thought it was a phase but my office drawer looks like Willy Wonka lives in there. I am currently slimming that down and popping a lifesaver mint in my mouth instead. Keep up the great work. Stay strong during the holidays! That will be a test as I am sure you are aware of.

Try not using internet for a week. Try not wanking off for a week. Try to only eat healthy dry crap for a while. Try eating vegetarian.

You will ''crave'' every single one of those sooner or later. Does this mean you have a internet/masturbation/unhealthy food or meat addiction?

Nope, you just like those things.

Step out of this mindstate of problem thinking. If you can't, atleast be so kind and don't bother others too much with it.

Dude, you're already starting. If AA is working for you, great. Keep it up. But leave their f'n "science" in those depressing, anonymous rooms.

Have you noticed yet how they view the entire world through alcoholic eyes? They are no longer people anymore, who once had drinking problems but moved on; they are now forever alcoholics, who live, work, and succeed (in some cases) in spite of their "illness." Recovery, daily struggle, one day at a time, Bill W's Big Book, higher power, 12 steps, ad nauseum.

If not too personal, how did work know? Excessive absences or drinking on job? No judging, just curious. Been there, too. So, it's a specific rehab program with x amount of AAs, etc. All outpatient stuff?

Absences, friends who are higher up the ladder then I am, who I confided in.

Its really nothing serious. 16 AA meetings and an 8 week course (over the phone) with a counselor.

I also have to remain sober for an entire year (increased piss testing during that timeframe)

Did the research, and I believe the piss test they use can detect alcohol in the system for 3-5 days after.

So it is all the reason I need to stay sober. It ain't worth it.

Being required to stay sober for a year & taking piss test's to prove it or lose your job is pretty serious. You should probably keep going to meetings the entire year. If work didn't step in you would probably still be drunk.

Stick with it. Good luck sir!

no

The extreme pressure of being a fat lazy homeless alcoholic slob triggered an instantaneous implosion, crushing him to death within less than 20 milliseconds

It was by followed by a massive explosion from the superheated ethanol and smelly air he contained

He recently was on Vince Goodrum’s livestream which means he’s still alive physically but dead on the inside

Finding out that nobody on getbig liked him enough to donate money must have done a number on him

Haha, it destroyed his soul. I love how indignant he became when the donations weren't forthcoming. Poor Shizzo always viewed himself as a veteran inmate. The guy who's earned his stripes here, seen it all before, and teaches the new guys how things are done. In reality, everyone else actually viewed him as the fat, bungling retard who gets tasked with showing you around on your first day at a new school and wants to become best friends. You just can't get away from him quickly enough. I do hope he's well.

For the most part I liked Shizzo, obviously not enough to donate anything and definitely not when his intention was to drink and gamble it away.

Anyway I hope he comes back fatter and balder.

I like him. He's a lazy eunuch with a woman's mind but he means well. I hope he comes back sassy and embittered, ready to launch scathing remarks at all of those who forsook him in his time of need.

Someone should post a "How much do you drink" thread on the forum.

I'm trying to quit completely.  I went from almost daily to once a week. Now I have drank twice in about  80 days since I've been keeping track. Drinking is slippery slope for sure

Shizzo has this under control.

He is just punishing us with the silent treatment due to the lack of GoFundMe donations.

I am the only person in my house who drinks alcohol. My wife didn't drink. People who don't drink at all think anyone who does, no matter how little has a problem. My son drinks beer. It is a prerequisite for anyone living in Bavaria. ;)

For some reason I was wondering whatever happened to King Shizzo. Sorry to see he still has not posted since last February when he was completely down and out living in his car and begging for money.

I used to have a glass of scotch or two when I went to the casino but I stopped that. I haven’t had a drink in quite a while. I drank so much from 15-29 for a couple lifetimes. I really hate booze cause I really like drinking but when I do I feel like shit so no point. Never got a hangover until 29 then it took a few days to feel better and now even just a couple glasses of scotch I feel like ass for 3 days so fuck that. Rather eat an edible.

I cannot remember ever having a hangover and there were definitely times when I drank enough to get totally drunk. Alcohol is poison, one which affects some people more than others.

Prime, please be assured that I do not think people that drink adult beverages have a problem.  I have never consumed alcohol but I know a problem when I see one as my father would drink himself blind and suffice to say I would put myself between him and any other family member he would go after during one of his blackouts. I could take the beating and did so rather than see my sisters, my mother or my brothers take it.   

I know what it is to be literally thrown through a wall (and worse), albeit the standard sheetrock walls of a tract home.   I still loved my father and on his deathbed he apologized and I forgave him and told him I loved him.  He did hit my mom one time when he was drunk and I was home.  I flew up the stairs and easily lifted him by his throat off the ground and slammed him into the wall where the studs were (approx. 16" on center)  and made it clear I would remove not just his arms if ever he harmed my mom again.

You cannot be like this man had become by just having an occasional adult beverage.  You are not that kind of person.   I also was the designated drive for a group of us when we would all go out to try and meet women.  It was guaranteed I would not be going home with anyone and so I drove and I also told my friends after they had drank too much if the girl they were dancing with was pretty or my friends were just pretty drunk.

Again, I do not drink alcohol but I do not hold it against those that do.   We have our differences you and I but I will never lie.  Be well, sir.

Never had a drink? Impressive. I wish I never did.

I thought of how dangerous I might become when I got older and stronger and did not want to risk harming anyone I loved because I got drunk. I could not risk it.  Also my maternal grandfather also drank heavily and when I was very young we were coming home from visiting other relatives and he was really drunk and swerving all over the road.  He stopped and I immediatly got out of the car and refused to get back in unless he let my mother drive. 

I could take any beating he may give me for that but he agreed and after that he never drank in my presence again.  My mom said I  made an impression upon him.  I love my family and did not want them harmed nor anyone else he might have run into that night.

I know it is kind of weird but I just thought I should avoid what might a heridtary addiction.

Seems smart considering what you had to deal with. You seem like a good man Scott.
