Should I get drunk?

Question

Ive been sober for 8 months and just want a night to relax and get drunk, not to the pint of passing out but just really good buzz. I only plan on doing it tonight and maybe tommorow since its a holiday. You think thats a good or bad idea thanks

Answer 1

no because i am british and you should not be celebrating a defeat of britiains great army (only joking) why not if you have not been drinking for 8 months then i would definately you derserve it. I am really british by the way. JUST GO FOR IT

Answer 2

I'd go ahead and just enjoy some fireworks and not alcohol. You sound like you're a strong person for going 8 months. I'm sure you can still have a good holiday without it! :O)

Answer 3

bad 8 months is a long time

Answer 4

sounds to me like your planning your next drunk. what happend to a day at a time easy does it, call a friend, don"t take that first drink? Do yourself a favor and get to a meeting.

Answer 5

The fact that you posted this question in the first place should tell you that would probably open a wound that you worked hard at closing. thanks for looking for someone to tell you not to.

Answer 6

Sure why not?

Answer 7

NO!!!

Theres nothing possibly good that come out of drinking too much.

If your second guessing it, then your a smart person STAY THAT WAY.

Just think of how BADLY alchol affects many lives.

Plus, once your drunk you loose since of reality and could hurt yourself or others.

BEING DRUNK IS A DISEASE, and If I could stop one person from drinking, for all I know: I could be saving a life!

Answer 8

it doesnt hurt to have a little fun once in awhile. if by "sober" you mean that you've had a problem in the past with substance abuse....then no becuase it will just take you  back to where you started from. otherwise go for it. Happy 4th of july!!!

Answer 9

No, don't do it, because you're a recovering alcoholic (I assume) thinking that it will be ok to just drink, not to get drunk, but just light drinking, is natural, it's like saying "Just this once." but if you do, it won't happen just this once and I gaurantee you'll end up getting drunk, not a purpose but on accident. If you want to keep cleaned up don't think that you can because of the way your body reacts to the drug you will just naturally go out of control when exposed to alcohol. I know alot of recovering alcoholics, my friend was an alcoholic and went to rehab to get himself cleaned up from drinking and smoking pot, he was sober for the longest time and he was doing really well, when he turned 21 he decided that since it was his birthday he was gonna go buy some alcohol and celebrate, but not get drunk, just enjoy life and kick back. The result was, him and his friends (who were also recovering alcoholics) ended up getting really drunk and his friend started hitting on his girlfriend, he got really jealous, but decided to go for a walk, he was really really really drunk when he did this, and when he came back his friend and his girlfriend were having s*x and he beat the **** out of his friend and his girlfriend jumped on his back and started attacking him and she got arrested, he broke his nose and busted up his hand, and his friend went to the hostpital for a couple of days and his girlfriend got evicted also because of what they did to the apartment. Now he regrets it because maybe a week or 2 after he went out and got drunk again and pissed his bed when he came back, the fact that he pissed his bed degraded him and made him really disappointed in himself since he hasn't done something like that since the age of 6, he had to go back to rehab for a while and talk to people so he could go back to being sober, alcoholics can NOT drink, find another thing that you enjoy that makes you feel good naturally, you don't need a drug to make you feel relaxed. Read a book, go for a walk, a run, swim, ride a bike, go for a ride in your car, sun bathe, do something that will make you feel good naturally, because it is possible. Your want for alcohol now is your body relapsing, 8 months isn't long enough, a year isn't even long enough, find something else to do to relax, because this is a craving even though it doesn't seem like it, and you will lose control.

Answer 10

Quit being so hard on yourself. Enjoy life while you can, because tomorrow is not promise to you. So drink up!!

Answer 11

drink only half of the drunk point, it could turn into a big disgrace to your family if you get drunk and then unconciely rob a bank or do something else stupid.

Answer 12

Probably better off staying sober, or limiting your intake to "small and infrequent,"sticking to drinking with responsible friends. Their company may be more relaxing and better in the long run than any booze. :-)

Answer 13

if youre over the age of 35 its a bad idea.  people over 35 shouldnt be getting hammered imho

Answer 14

8 months is a long time

and if your an alcoholic then i think its a dumb idea to break your sober streak.

stay sober! drink cranberry juice or sumthing

Answer 15

I assume by your comments that you are a recovering alcoholic...

Bad idea. That's how relapses begin.

Answer 16

If you are an alcoholic and have been staying sober for a reason than you shouldn't drink. If you haven't drank in 8 months for no reason then party it up.

Answer 17

well if thats what you want to do noone can stop you.

Answer 18

Are you an alcoholic? If so, definitely don't.

Otherwise, go for it!

Have fun(drinking or not), and please be safe!

Answer 19

If you're sober because you are a recovering alcoholic then stay sober. But if you are not at risk of being addicted to alcohol and you were sober just because then go for it. Just be safe.
