How do you guys deal with excessive drinking? I mean, I'm functional, but would still like to cut down.

I had to just stop it all together, and sought the support of AA for a few years. If you feel that you may have developed a physical dependency, (like having to drink everyday to avoid the shakes,) I would seek medical advice before attempting to stop or cut down.

How much does one need to drink daily to develop physical dependency? I guess it depends on the person, but still maybe you can give a reference?

I think I am in the same boat (no pun intended) than Ibian... completely functional, almost no effect (except the weight gain), but still an absurdly high amount of daily alcohol consumption since maaaaany years ago. I did switch from whisky+coke to beer and wine since I stopped smoking though. That was easy.

fackin 'ell micg, that's pretty cool. at this rate you'll overtake me in the merit bagholder stakes.
soon we will have conquered all those forum meta-tards and the price will therefore fly up to the stars.

Fucking hell, you’re 6th & 10th most Merited posters on the entire forum. Well done

Thanks to you guys.
The link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topusersat
homer, Bob, hairy, jojo, info, JJG, Torque also represent.
and many OGs and worthwhile noobs need pumping

not Eddie, though. he'd rather criticise than contribute lol  

That above link provided by V8 shows the current top 50 merit receivers of the forum.  

Of course, there are some other places to look up merit stats for specific users, such as this website.

By the way, the WO thread has a LARGE disproportionate number of merits distributed within it, as compared with various other forum threads.    See this Loyce-created thread for discussion of merit distribution by forum threads / topics.

MP has his own shitcoin now. Ipso facto he's a shitcoiner now. Innit?

 

Who is MP?  Anyone that "we" (WO thread participants) know?  Does he have a WO hat?

[QuestionAuthority]

Merit drop!

Next three people get 20. You know the drill.

This is another case where it is better you can document and explain sudden wealth ie. the origins of it.

Of course, Charlie Shrem should be attempting to live more discretely, especially since he had already gone to prison, and there will be presumptions against him, which could send him back to the slammer - especially if civil pursuits against him end up revealing criminally relevant information.

I have Ibian ignored, but I find "cold turkey" works best, provided you aren't a completely alcohol-dependent degenerate, in which case, I understand there may be some possibly life-threatening withdrawal symptoms to deal with (eg: delirium tremens complications).

Emotionally, it helps to treat alcohol with disdain and hatred for a little while. "Fuck this alcohol. Why am I drinking so much and letting it rule my life. I'm the boss of me. I'll show it !!!" sorta thing, and mind-trick yourself into having the fortitude to maintain restraint for a while.

I just had a single Greyhound to unwind a bit. Had another three beers with Rick earlier in the week after he had a rough day at the office.

4 drinks total in one week is progress I can live with, compared to a six-pack-of-beer a day prior trend.

Don't plan on drinking any more this weekend...

It's tough - responsible adulting.

Six beers a day doesn't seem like an excessive drinking by any means... or is it?

If you can go for a week without a drink you're not addicted. If you can't then you're addicted.
