Don't drink anymore, but a walk under the starlight used to be my fav. And if you've got a long walk home you're basically sober by the time you show up

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I got pretty wasted in the woods once together with some friends while grilling and staring at the stars. That was epic.

I have no clue how I got home though. That's a two to three hour walk when sober, and I was drunk enough to only remember the first half hour of it.

But now I drink maybe twice a year, and very little. The stars look nice even when sober. And on Monday weed was legalized here, that's more like it for me nowadays.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I pretty much completely stopped drinking after weed was legalized.

I just bought a bunch of seeds. That feels so surreal. This weekend I'll buy snacks and fly to space, and it'll be legal.

Same here! Some great memories come to mind reading your words!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

Yeeeah, the cool night air as you ramble along and slowly sober up. Maybe stop to pee on a tree somewhere.

one time I blacked out and woke up to a spotlessly clean kitchen and a loaf of perfectly baked rosemary bread. I didn't even have rosemary

You ever wake up from the best sleep of your life and think:

"Uhoh... the OVEN."

They missed the "Drunk me keeps buying sober me presents from the Internet".

Blackout Christmas! 🎁🎉

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

I never bought myself stuff while drunk, but I liked to go on twitch and subscribe to random small channels, and gift them games they wanted to play lol.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I am still waiting for my drunk self to buy myself a piano or some other instrument, so I have a reason to learn to play it, lol.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm the "guess I'm crying now" kind of drunk.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago (2 children)

You pair great with the journey into the woods fellow. An adventure will cure what ails ya.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

A journey into the woods crying? I know how the Blair Witch Project got started.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Us woods folks are the story drunk type

I get to have the novel experience of ✨being tired✨ whenever I get drunk

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago (3 children)

This is called getting old.

I don't see "I am smart enough to know I can't drive but dumb enough to think I can walk to Taco Bell from here"

(Not that I know anyone like that personally.)

And sometimes you get to try out all of them! In one night!

I once knew a guy that got EXTREMELY stoned almost every day...until one day he went out into the dark in the woods and got lost for a whole month.

And now he doesn't smoke pot anymore.

Edited a spelling error.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I’d watch a 12 episode miniseries about that guy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

he barely even remembers anything before sobering up and realizing he had no idea where he was.

From what anyone can tell, he was tripping out pretty hard and he just started casually walking out into the woods aimlessly.

after that incident is when he realized that his consumption of pot was a problem and he had to stop.

Bullshit. Lost for a month? Not happening. I'd love to read an article about this totally not made up story.

Many of us have been each of those types of drunks.

these are the three personalities of my ADHD

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

If the drinking goes on long enough, I will go through all of these phases.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (5 children)

i saw a t-shirt in a Mexican tourist town once that said it depends on what you drink, and it explained it like this:

Beer = I'm invincible!
Whiskey = I'm invulnerable!
Tequila = I'm invisible!

Then there is me, alone in the basement, surrounded by 270 empty beer cans about to open my last 30 case of Bush light.

Suddenly the music video for Korpiklaani - Man with a Plan makes a lot more sense.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

You start off as panel 1 then as you get more drunk you turn into panel 2 and after even more drinking you're panel 4.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

I stayed panel 4 even after getting sober

What about the ones who get belligerent, try to fight the cops that get called than puke on the cops as they're being arrested?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No, I hate everyone guy hangs out with the cat or dog, Uncle Cletus throws fists with the cops.

I don't know why but people who link videos without a brief description of what it is just drives me nuts.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (6 children)

Especially if it's a Tom Cardy song that I somehow hadn't seen yet. Wouldn't have wanted to miss it - sharing the real party guest stereotype.

Then there’s the “time for coke” type of drunk that turns into all three with a pinch of murdering rage

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

I'm the wanderer.

Terrible story, I went to a foreign city with some friends and got black out on tequila for the first and last time. Apparently I left our motel without letting anyone know to go perform urban parkour. I somehow failed to clear a 2nd floor jump and based on the imprint in my one shoe, landed entirely with my right heel. Clean break.

My phone log showed that instead of calling anyone I was with or maybe medical assistance, I tried to call my boss 3 times before giving up entirely. I only have memory of some nurses later asking if I wanted to go to a hospital, but I denied them and slept it off. Guess I was found eventually, lol.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I have levels.

I start off with "I love everyone", wanna talk.

Then comes losing my shirt, and if encouraged, I will find a table and lose more.

After that I hit the "walk in the woods" point. Or, really, "I wanna find a nice high place to sit". Dunno why, but after a certain point, I just wanna get somewhere I can look down over a city or something. There's something magical about it. Here's all these twinkling lights, all these lives going about their night. Some going to work, some going out to get fucked up, some to get just fucked.

And there I am. My own twinkling light, out in the night. Small, insignificant, just the red glow of the cherry of a cigarette against the nothingness. For a brief moment, I am both a part of that grander light, and apart from it. Above us, all the lights in the sky, bringing it together.
