Popular Post bignok Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2023 After 2 weeks no booze it's boring to be honest. I don't need it daily but no alcohol is boring. Maybe 1 day a week is best. 1 1 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they have some days off and think that means they're ok, big mood swings Edited December 6, 2023 by scubascuba3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Tom Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I stopped drinking alcohol over a year ago. No particular reason for that decision, bar I really didn't need it anymore. I don't miss it and hardly think about it any more. I don't say that I will never drink again, but I see no reason to do so at this time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you time it right, you can get maybe 3 drunks in in a day. Drink, pass out, wake up, repeat... They're out there. You drive by them every morning when they're drinking at 7:00 am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAFETY FIRST Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 There's a 7-Eleven on Soi Buakhao (opposite soi LK), if you go in there a few minutes before 2pm, the fridge shutters are already down and they're hurrying you up. There's an old Thai woman working there that's yelling at the staff, warning them that 2pm is approaching and it's shut off time for grog. They give a dirty look, like I'm some sort of horrible creature drinking beer at 2pm. I got angry with them saying I'm not a drunk, just a customer. Customer is always right. (not in Thailand) 😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3tsw Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I quit drinking when I turned 18 and could legally enter pubs , reckon I have drank more alcohol prior to 18 years old than after , I never could handle it and got drunk far too easy and had terrible hangovers , my mother was the same , had an intolerance to alcohol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not drinking doesn't mean you can't go out like you did when you were drinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably doing the same, morning drink, get drunk, have a sleep, wake up and do it again etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAFETY FIRST Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Before covid I'd have a few mates (a dozen or so) living here who were also working off shore. If we were in town we'd meet up once a hitch, sit in a bar for 6 or so hours drinking a dozen beers, getting drunk, talking crap. Sadly, there'd be the occasional fist fight etc. I wasted too many hours over the many years spending half the day in bars, drinking too many beers and talking crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found most drunks are so incoherent, it's torture trying to make sense of what they are saying. Probably why I have not been in a bar for 7 or 8 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
