As someone suffering from a few health problems because in my 20s, I took this meme literally...

Don't.

Find an alternative way to relax.

Pourin' a drink now.

Likewise

Go for a walk, go on a hike, go fishing, get a BBQ going: don't just drink your day away.

I'm an avid hiker now but I'll never forget my doctor telling me at 24 that if I didn't stop drinking I was going to be dead before 30.

...while drinking

[-] GreenMario@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago

Here for a good time not a long time.

[-] cyclohexane@lemmy.ml 11 points 9 months ago

Yeah let me ruin a nice day out by reducing my consciousness of this nice day and fucking my health while I'm at it.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 8 points 9 months ago

I don't have enough free time to relax without chemical assistance.

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

Thats bullshit and you know it. I hope you can find the help you need someday though

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 6 points 9 months ago

It's literally not. It takes me a few hours to stop thinking about work shit and everything else I have to do and I don't have that long at the end of the day. I didn't say I drink every day or even every week. I wouldn't even say I have a drinking problem. Most days I just sit around being still stressed out for an hour or so after I get all my shit done and then go to bed. You don't know shit about me so keep your platitudes to yourself.

Someone doesn’t need to know you to know how self-medicating anxiety (what you’re describing) with alcohol fucks people up long term

They did manage to be a dick about it, but yea the more someone feels like they can’t stop those thoughts, the deeper the need is for something sustainable (a practice, a hobby, a life change, a med, etc.) that can help them do that

Even at its best, if someone sidesteps all the side effects of alcohol, it still just delays someone from learning how to master those thought patterns in themselves

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 6 points 9 months ago

I know how to break out of those thought patterns. The problem is, like I already said, it takes longer to do than I have time for. It's not like there's a switch I can flip off.

I'm going to be fucked long term regardless of what I do anyway because the society we've constructed is fucked and built around continuously making everything worse.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 9 months ago

You’ve got my support.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 9 months ago

Finally, some advice I can get behind.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 15 points 9 months ago

Way ahead of you, bro.

[-] Fazoo@lemmy.ml 13 points 9 months ago

Saint Harambe, passing on his wisdom. RIP you fucking legend. This day drink's for you.

This looks like an IRL Far Side comic.

[-] adj16@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Why wait until you’re not at work?

[-] Fades@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Spoken like a true new-to-alcohol person.

[-] luckyhunter@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

It is football season. Find a local game and go tailgate! Or golf! Or just sit on the couch and slam beers!

I tried this, and I ended up in jail

[-] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

People, remember most gorillas don't know about alcohol. He certainly means drinking water.

[-] STUPIDVIPGUY@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

do something athletic or anything outside

[-] Fazoo@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Get yourself a heavy glass mug. Lift gains while you drink.

[-] datelmd5sum@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I like to cycle around the lake and stop at the pubs surrounding it.
