I'm An Alcoholic
Been lurking and reading through this thread in an effort to re-program my thinking. Turning 49 today, already had a big birthday blowout in Vegas, so my actual bday weekend is fairly mellow. Blessedly so. I feel like I’m on a downward slide. Last few hangovers have been brutal and really tired of feeling like shit. Got hammered on Friday for absolutely no reason. I don’t drink every day. I don’t crave it. But on the days I do drink, I just don’t stop. And it’s been getting worse. My tolerance is sky-high, and, by the time I’m feeling it, I’m completely hammered and out of control. Worried about some form of escalation and some form of rock bottom. Reached out a friend with my intentions for some accountability. Discussed with my wife (no pics) as well. Obviously, both were very supportive. I guess a little self-awareness is a good thing. We’ll see how this goes. My overall goal is to hit 50 a lot leaner and meaner than now. I have a good life, but I guess middle-age is catching up a bit. Time to change some habits.

Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
Was just there getting new ink at H&H and enjoying the insanity of AVN. Tried like hell to blow money, party, and give it a proper goodbye.

Your OCD doesn’t extend to maintaining a clean fridge?

Shart 2020: Hindsight's a bitch
Wings (extremely hot) and beer (extreme amounts) yesterday. Squirting flaming orange napalm today. Not sure how my short stayed clean, but I had some serious seepage while peeing. Combined with the hangover, much indignity today.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Had the exact same problem with a fridge last year. Solved it the same way, too. At least they’re consistent in their fuckery.

Tito's is # 1
Vodka is neutral in flavor. OK...I guess I can roll with that. Flavorless, however? Not hardly. Although, some vodkas are pretty bland. Stoli falls into that category for me, but I drank a LOT of Stoli Peppar back in the day. Tito's seemed a bit...raw...to me. Granted, I developed this opinion back in the late 90s when it first came out. Other than seeing it throughout Texas, I never gave much thought to the brand at all until I moved to Florida in 2015 and realized that it was everywhere and (seemingly) universally popular. I think his success is awesome. He's a master of marketing his craft (a la Jim Koch). Ah well...subjective opinions are subjective. We consume a lot of vodka martinis in this house. Only two brands make the cut (and permanently reside in our freezer): Ketel One and Finlandia.

Never liked Tito’s. People look at me like I’m crazy when I say that. Not gonna talk shit about it. Just don’t like it. Is that wrong?

H-E-B is No. 1 U.S. Grocery Chain
Well...when we’re done there, we can always go lick the ice cream at Wal-Mart. Maybe set the chip aisle on fire. Doritos are highly flammable, ya know? The possibilities are endless. Wanna make it a worthwhile trip for ya.

Getting Laid 2020
Our intention was to start 2020 with a bang (and some bangin’), but this year is a total bust. Wife was in the ER on the 1st. Had surgery on the 3rd. Been healing ever since, and then I leave all of next week. After that is a Vegas trip, so...possibilities? Fingers crossed. No pics, ya savages.

Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
Good to know. I was leaning toward Chang’s restaurant at Cosmo, but wife (no pics) overruled with a request for Morimoto. Hard to argue with that request.

Exactly! Not sure what weddings and marriages have to do with getting laid.

Las Vegas go hard or go home thread
Four-night trip coming up. Staying at The Cosmo. Gonna wander the AVN expo while we’re there. Tattoo by Mike Roche (from TSOL) at Hart & Huntington. Will check out Brian Slagel’s new record store. Y&T concert on our last night there. Was too slow to secure a res at Lotus Of Siam, but I think The Cosmo food options should cover our needs nicely. My favorite gambling activity consists of Craps sessions broken up by repeated rounds at Whiskey Down. No real mandatory stops other than that. A simple trip. Tattoos, Porn, and Rock & Roll. Vegas, baby!
