Get it? Like carpe diem? Probably spelled wrong…who cares. Guess who is getting drunk for the first time, because why the hell not? Gonna die anyway, might as well have fun
I wish someone would have told me at your age…booze is a major depressant. It will bring you down, retard your emotions, and give you a poor attitude. It will fool you into thinking you don’t care about your problems because it’s easy to laugh at the stupidest things. But then one day you wake up and realize it no longer makes it so easy to laugh, or go pee, or make good decisions, or have sex, or enjoy life and become the person you were meant to be.
Booze is a terrible drug…and I hope you will be smatter than I was. My brother was a drunk for decades, until he finally hung himself.
Your note escaping…just ignoring what will eventually find you anyway…better to deal with it now, while you are in better shape to make good decisions rather than 20 years from now when your thoughts, judgment and emotions are completely clouded. I can promise…that is where that road will lead…been there, done that.
I used to be a drunk, and I’ve watched more lives screwed up or ended because of booze than all other drugs combined. If you absolutely have to run away from your own mind…smoke the green stuff. Better survival rate.
Don’t let TV ads or your friends convince you it is ‘cool’ to drink…see where they are in a few decades and I can promise you will be glad you didn’t go down that road.
Nothing ever convinced me it was ‘cool’ to drink. Ya’ know, if I wanted it to be cool I’d go out with friends and get drunk at parties. But nope, it happens all alone. Both booze and drugs together, is dandy for me. And um – last time I checked – I didn’t want to survive long. So all good on that one.
Thanks for the peachy comment. We’ll keep our separate views, I suppose. Actually, I agree, I s’ppose there is a destructiveness to it, I just don’t care.
Maybe, but I’ve been suicidal since I was 14 when I first slashed my wrists. I learned we humans are not so easy to kill. But past that…I was also drinking at 14 and I know for a fact, since booze is a depressant, that was a big part of the reason I wanted to end things. So I made myself a promise….NEVER to decide to end my life unless I was perfectly strait, gave it lots of thought, and still thought it was a good idea.
That commitment to me…is the only reason I’m still here. It’s easy to make bad decisions when drunk…or high. Not as easy when sober.
Yes there have been rotten times….but there have also been awesome times too. Life will toss some of both at us whether we like it or not. We just have to pick ourselves up during the bad times and limp ahead to the good times.
I’ve had a lot of bad stuff in my life…but I’ve also loved a lot of women and got to see a lot of awesome things….and I’m glad I stuck around even though life sometimes still sucks. juss saying.
That’s kind of my point…you WILL care, eventually, and you’ll realize you don’t have as much left of yourself to help you along the way. I was sure I would never live to 21…drunk every night, doing drugs, getting in sooo much trouble. I just didn’t care.
So I understand completely your view…but you are probably wrong, and you will be here in a few decades. And then you will either be paying the price for bad decisions you made when young (like most of us) or you will be patting yourself on the back for being smarter than so many others…and with tons of opportunities in front of you.
The thing about paying for those mistakes when you get older is that…it isn’t just one day or week you pay the price. Once your health turns to crap you still have to live with that for decades…probably longer than you’ve been alive now. I always thought…f$#! it! I’ll deal with the problems when I get there…assuming again that I would drop dead long before I had to worry about it. Millions of people, especially young ones…think the same way. It’s really just an excuse to do what we want to do and ignore the road we’re headed down.
Then they find one day they did live through it all and now have to live with the wreckage.
I stopped drinking one day when I realized life is hard enough completely sober, and that booze was only making it more difficult than it needed to be. I also realized no nice or sweet girl was going to want a drunk, so I pulled my head out of my keister and stopped. Though I still did it a couple of times a year just for fun…cause I knew I had it under control.
I realize you probably aren’t going to listen to me…your mind is made up that booze is fine, and you justify it by deciding you won’t live long enough to care what it does or where it takes you. But I can almost certainly tell you you are wrong…and you may find life hard to live with the damage done.
Just trying to give you my experience. I am currently watching another friend die from booze…he started when he was 10. Sad to see…or experience ourselves.
PS….I used to drink alone too…got tired of all my friends and the world in general…but I found that drinking alone is the worst thing a person can do…it changes the personality more than any other way of drinking can…and not for the better. 🙁

Yes, booze is terrible but to me its the only escape from this shitty reality.
People will always hold their own opinions on booze n’ drinkin.
Hasn’t failed me yet!

I can guarantee I wont be here 20 years from now. Not even a few months from now, something I can guarantee.
Plus my thoughts, judgments, and emotions are centered around death.
Nothings clouded when the path is clear and leading to death.
