Do you ever drink (or do drugs) to get away from things? Like when you're stressed and shit. I do that shit all the time. At first I felt bad because I've always been told it's like running away from your problems or whatever. But fuck that, I'm grown, I don't see shit wrong with it. It works. Like when you got some shit on your mind, and you just don't wanna deal with it now, have some drinks, put on some music and chill. Deal whith it later. I'm not ashamed to say it. It's only wrong because old people say it's wrong. Well I'm sayin it's right damnit!

it's ok
but all the lame people will come in and say it's not
-
its ok but dont get carried away with it. if so you might become an achoholic and you could loose our job, wife/gf, house, freinds. its some real shit. be careful
insted of drinking eat some triscuits. they are sooooo good. :sombrero:
-
Yeah but the problem with that is. Sooner or later it WILL become a problem. Thats how it starts. I know alot of alcoholics who just started drinking for those reasons, and later they just continue to do it until they just cant stop.

thats why i also recomend eating triscuits instead of drinking. they are so good, esp.the roasted garlic flavor
-
yeah there's nothing bad about drinking when you want to get away from things... especially when it's proven that you're more likely to commit suicide while under the influence...
-
i guess it's bad but so what? your more likely to do alot of stupid shit when drunk. there are alot of functional addicts out there. what about the CEO who has a couple glasses of brandy after work everyday.
-
what about the tens of thousands kill by drunk drivers each year?
or
the aforementioned suicides?
or
the exxon valdez?
i'm not arguing against drinking...i just think it's not a good idea to drink alone, you don't know what can happen
-
we're not talking about drunk driving or drinkin alone. i thought we we talking about drinking to relax or "escape".
my friend tried to kill himself when he was drinking alone so i know what can happen
people can drink themselves suicidal or homicidal, but this isn't about that
-
there are a lot of things you can do besides drinking or doing drugs. if that's what you want to do then that's your perogative but it's not really going to help you in the long run. the best medicine for any problem is prayer. you receive deep insight and you form a better bond with God. before you know it, you realize that your problems aren't as big as you once thought they were. just say no. peace.

Drinking alone is the worst thing you can do. I had to learn the hard way lol
I have been sober since August and turns out I have more fun that way. I guess to each their own.

This is your own self destrution. And you think it's okay, because you think your grown and mature and that you can make your own desicions. Until, you have a girl, have kids, and this habit of yours starts to destroy their lives too. But you say, that won't happen to you, blah, blah, blah. I've heard that talk.
If it was really about escaping there are more constructive ways of escaping. But you've been watching TV commercials and media your whole life, and you think that when you pop open a beer, all the sudden life is going to be a party, and everything is all good, but that's not reality. These alcohol companies are exploiting you.
There are more constructive ways to escape, but your problems are bigger than you can understand. You need to start keeping a journal and try to figure out what's going on with your life, before it's too late, and you've wasted your time here on Earth. Your time is short.

Sometimes you know gotta burn off steam somehow
-
you cant drink your problem away, so yea, if it helps you, like 1s a week, chill back, drink some henesy, listen to some beatles :), but if it becomes like a 5 time a week thing,that everytime you got shit to do, or think about, you get wasted.. thats a no no
-
I never did. Playing PS2 games works much better.
-
i was a fan of masturbation, shit, i still am :)

2 weeks ago the girlfriend of a friend of mine broke up with her boyfriend with a text message. Her ex/boyfriend is really devestated and yesterday she ended up kissing another guy right in front of that firiend of mine. Afterwards he ate shoarma.
-
shoarma?... how old is this girl, breaking up on a txt msg, thats some fucked up shit
-
hes right^^
-
I think she's 17 or 18 years old. I don't know her too well though.
-
lol @ some of the replies
I think people are getting confused. 1st of all there is a difference between having some drinks and getting drunk. I'm not saying it's okay to get hammered everytime you got a problem.
Secondly, I'm not saying it's okay to drink when you have responsibilities. Responsibilities always come first.
but it is interesting to read other peoples views on this subject.
-

That's some good shit
-
I smoke a blunt every friday night to get away from my problems. But i only do it once a week. its like a tradition.
-
I canīt even do that... when I have problems I just have to deal with it... then I would lay in bed and just stare at the wall and think about it until I have a solution for it... at least a solution that works for me... of course itīs not granted that it works out in reality or something but it works for me in my brain because then Iīm no longer worried about it and Iīm motivated enough to deal with it... and positive enough that it works out positively... of course then Iīm not happy at all but at least the worries are away and there is a light at the end of the tunnel...
.. but if someone manages to forget their problems for a little while and do some other things then itīs ok as long as their feeling says its right... noone can say that something is wrong because its wrong for him or her... I canīt get drunk or do drugs when I have problems.. but that doesnīt mean that others canīt do that... I might not think to positvely about it but if it works for you and your feeling says that it isnīt wrong then its ok...
-
Im a very laidback guy, so usually if theres shit on my mind.. I'll get over it the next day.
But getting baked or having a smoke always helps. Smokes especially if you're stressin out. Pot if its some shit thats really pissin' you off.

Anyway, sugafoot, i dunno your personal traits, but for me, gettin high kinda makes me paranoid and i don't feel too confident when i'm high, which makes me kinda unhappy sometimes. The only reasons i do it is for music, computer games, and eating. Drinking is a little different. For me it's hard to get drunk but the next day i kinda regret it cuz i know i wasted time the night before when i could have been dealing with my problems. I think the best way to deal with problems is to deal with them head on. SOrry, i know this sounds kinda lame, but it's the truth. The sooner you deal with problems, the sooner you will get over the results of your actions

Cosign. Face your problems, take some time to think it all over. I'm pretty much agreeing with all those people who are against it and their arguements. No need for me to state my whole story 8)

K I'm not saying if you get in a fight with mommy you should run upstairs and hit the bottle. You can't always deal with problems immediatley.
