(38,322 posts)When I was 21 a friend was visiting from Europe. He couldn't believe how cheap beer and gasoline were. He bought a 24 pack of Keystone or something similar and we drove out into the Mojave desert, miles and miles down some rough gravel road.
I remember lying on my back in the sand staring up at the stars, and they were beautiful, but I was sort of spinning and not able to fully appreciate them.
I'll never do that again, especially with um, the most inexpensive beer on the shelf of the Barstow Vons, but I'm not a snob.
A PBR or two would be acceptable.

(4,390 posts)Seriously, I have to drink herbal tea all day long to keep from being enraged. Evening I have a drink maybe. I like to have a drink at night, right before bed, but I know it isn't good for me, so I use Sleepytime tea. It's cheaper than good booze. I swear all those years of herbal/green tea have kept my blood pressure normal.

(34,112 posts)alcohol allowance by quite a bit lately. I was an occasional drink after dinner person, then a 2 drink after dinner sometimes, then a 2 drink after dinner all the time person.
I am out of alcohol, have been out for 5 days. I don't really need it but I am not sure being without is healthy for me right now.
I was considering getting in my car and driving into town for some when I saw your post. I think you should spend whatever it takes to get you through this!
I feel ok saying all of this because no matter how much I drink or how often I just have this point when I just stop. I guess a family full of alcoholics will make you that way if you are very lucky.
