People were talking about weed, and I'm actually in a pretty good place with the stuff. I smoked every day for like five years (from 18 until about 23, and I'm now 27), and yeah, it's alright at first, but eventually it traps you; you just want to stay in and smoke and do nothing, and not be out there chopping girls.

I smoke about every two weeks or so. I don't get high, I get low; that means I smoke and I retreat into my shell, and I definitely never mix game and dope (though some people I know don't miss a beat). Sure I'll burn a jay with my buddies at their place when we aren't going out, and smoking one in bed or in the bath with a girl is still one of my favorite things ever, but I'm not budgeting my money around getting a half-ounce every Thursday anymore, and that's good.

I started to cut back as a matter of circumstance; on consecutive weekends in the city I ran into two girls I used to know, a ridiculous 9 who even though she was super-skinny had D tits and a hot 8 who looked like a taller Hilary Duff. I had chances with both of these girls back BG, maybe 19 years old, but I never got to close. They both said almost the exact thing; I liked you, but you smoked too much weed and just kinda sat there.

That'll get you off the stuff, let me tell you.

I think it's not the drug that's gateway as much as it is the drug crowd; it was like seven years after I first smoked that I did blow, and went through a pretty serious coke phase, and it wasn't because one day I was up and 'This isn't working anymore!', it was some people I met that were chopping up lines and offered me one.

Anyways, I drink a lot of beer, like maybe 3-4 nights a week. I am noticing a bit of a paunch forming, but it's no biggie for now, since I'm still pretty fit at about 195 lbs.

I do workout, 4-6 hours a week (on my chest, shoulders and arms) is sufficient. The law of diminishing returns; I easily have the time to step it up to 8-10 hours a week and focus more on my core and my legs, but is it worth it? If an extra 200 hours of working out (per year) gets me one more notch that year, is it really worth it? No, it's not, and besides, I've found that as long as you have nice arms and a solid chest, most girls don't give a fuck if there's a bit of a paunch.

When I'm not on the beer I do Rye, Vodka and Rum. I was briefly considering the switch, but mixed drinks aren't the same; I can never see myself chilling on a patio or watching the game with a rye and ginger as much as I can with a beer.

Soberrecovery.com may be a good place to start Laura.

Damn I think I may have a drink almost everyday, it's hard not to when you live in a lazy/party/beach town.

1. Mamajuana (no not weed) its dominican drink of red wine, rum & honey and mixed with a bunch of tree branches and it soaks. I know sounds weird but the shit is on point, everybody loves it, plus it has male & female sexual enhancements effects.

2. Bombay Sapphire (Gin) (& tonic sometimes) - I try to limit these to only a few at a time more than that and I get in gorilla mode. Going up in the womens bathroom to holla at a girls, and just post up on the sink, or trying to talk a mom & daughter into a 3 some when there is no chance in hell for it happening, doesn't matter I shall try.

3.Mojitos - happy hour 2x1 or caprhania (however the hell ya spell it) the brazilian drink. That's my chill drink.

Hardly ever beer unless its hot as hell outside and someone has a ice cold one and nothing else around, but beer taste like old gym shoes to me all of it, micro brew, flavors its all nasty.

Exercise... HA I got a baller tummy!

But I do swim often just cause I go to the beach so much, not really an exercise plan kinda of thing if i do i do kinda thing.

I did try the gym thing once with this chick from Venezuela, B*&#h almost killed me in the gym working out for 2.5 damn hours, using kettle balls,etc it was too much. I was so damn sore I could't turn over while sleeping for 3-4 days.

I haven't returned her call since...

But on a healthy note, I do try and eat a banana everyday and take vitamin C, if it helps who knows.

Hey guys, Ive been reading through the book "The Great Cholesterol Con" (which, by the way, will blow your fucking mind if you haven't been introduced to the Paleo/Primal diets yet -- I highly recommend the book).

This book takes such a hard scientific approach towards many things that conventional wisdom tells us is healthy -- and then readily disproves them with the very same data that people use to back them. As a taste, it turns out higher levels of cholesterol coincide with LOWER rates of coronary heart disease. You'll have to read for yourself.

Regardless, he has a small section dedicated to alcohol. His ultimate conclusion from analyzing studies is that alcohol does not provide any medicinal properties. For instance, the whole "french paradox" is not because they drink red wine, but rather the French eat very healthy diets, and then ALSO drink red wine. Red wine is not the cause -- just something that happened to show up to the party!

He recommends no more than 1-2 drinks per day. Women nursing/pregnant/ect. should not drink at all.

I can go crack open the book later if you guys want me to post some of the specific information and data he states as I am sitting in a starbucks rehashing this from memory.

Note: I am not a doctor. Just a docter.

Edit: He does dedicate a large portion of the book to stress and its consequences, and it is in MY personal opinion that used properly, alcohol can in fact help reduce stress in an individual which results in a net-positive effect for that person. Of course, this can easily be assumed as an "abusive" relationship with alcohol, but sometimes that cold one on a hot day just feels oh-so-right.

I just finished a work trip in Brno, 19 days drinking beer significantly every night. (BTW Brno in my opinion has the best beer avaible in the world Pound for pound , Other than mybe Russia) I don’t think I have gained any weight... my rule that works for me. I do not eat bread/sugar on a long term drinking bender. Only meat and vegetables. Also, dancing it off helps ...only
Order starters at restaurants, 200g protein meal is the max all day. If I’m drunk as [email protected] on the way home... tell the Kebob guy only meat, not sauce or bread. Also have tuna packets at home/hotel helps...?

I haven't drank since December because I'm a binge drinker. I am much healthier and 45 pounds lighter. And I was only drinking maybe 2-3 nights a month but when I did hit that first drink I went into alcoholic mode and I'd go through 6-12 more.

If you are serious about health (and testosterone), beer is the worst. Wine is a bit better. Vodka is the best.

I'm 22, and I don't drink.

I did before in high school (really just to fit in, and be around girls), but as my confidence rose, I stopped.

Not hard science, But I am a very aggressive person, and not laid back at all. I Build muscle very easily, and while I haven't had my testosterone checked, but I'd say its high. When I look back on the times I was a social drinker, I'd say I was a lot more "chill", but I lacked that rage primal energy.

Interesting thread. Who else doesn't drink?

I don’t have the alcohol “gene.” If you told me I could never drink again for the rest of my life, I wouldn’t care much.

I do have the “junk food gene”. Food is almost as good as sex to me.

So even though I don’t look at alcohol the same way addicts do, if I know that it’s anything like my issues with junk food then I can understand how challenging it can be.

As a teenager I got drunk often. Now days I rarely drink any.

Thing is. Alcohol is bad for you. It is terrible unhealthy. And strangely enough society seems to have fully embraced the use and abuse of alcohol. Getting drunk is normal. Not drinking is for weird people.

I do not drink under social pressure. Everyone else ordering beer? I will not.

I posted this on the 1 year drinking wagon but think as this drug i'm looking to take can be taken with alcohol (stops the buzz) what ppls thoughts are / experience / could help ppl wanting to cut down drastically then maybe quit:
Been following this thread for a long time, very helpful.
I've tried to quit many times but end up after a usually a week or less fucking up and going on a binge smashed and hungover, regretful, and messing me up physically and mentally. I'm sick and tired of it - but usually get bored after 5 days no drink and f - up.

I've stumbled across from my endless research a drug called naltrexone
which seems ideal for me being a drinker who finds it v hard to stop at just 1 or 2 and getting smashed.

The drug has been recommended by jordan peterson for binge drinkers like me:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQPz4YVSkyQ&t=124s

a documentary has also been done on this drug:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3427772/

There are also endless highly positive reviews from people who have taken it:https://www.drugs.com/comments/naltrexone/

i'm going to see a doctor tell him straight i want/need this - hope he doesn't push back - no matter what i need to give this a try get my hands on it.

Does anyone have experience of this drug? it blocks the opioid receptors so simply get no buzz when take it 1 hour before drinking - i can't see how this can not work for me and many others as shown above - would love to hear peoples thoughts and experiences.

How did you manage cutting back the weed? No cravings in between smoking? I used to smoke a lot, last year its becoming much less. Now smoke sometimes when drinking with certain buddies, otherwise I fear its creeping into my system again....

Hey man, there was a period shortly after I turned 21 I was drinking 8+ drinks a few times a week. It was bad.

I tried a drug called campral https://www.drugs.com/campral.html

It's great because it basically makes drinking not fun, but you don't get sick or anything, and it can help with some of the chemical imbalances from heavy drinking that make you anxious and such. I didn't drink at all after a while on the stuff until I didn't need it.

The last several years I had cut down to a few (1-3) nights a month of drinking, but I'm a binge drinker so got horrible hangovers and ended up quitting in December entirely.

I see a lot of drugs/nootropics mention here, but nowhere I read:

Phenibut.

This is how you stop binge drinking. It was invented in the soviet times to calm down the astronauts, without basically 0 side effects. You feel social, happy, confident, basically kinda drunk but without alcohol. Its cheap to buy online too.

The other thing I do is I buy expensive quality alcohol for my pad. Nikka from the Barrel whisky, El Dorado 21y rhum, etc etc
I actually start to enjoy the TASTE of the drink instead of wanting to just get drunk on cheap vodka. And since the bottle is expensive, I am just sipping too.
