Delirium tremens will **** you up beyond belief. I love Belgians, but its not the stuff you break out when you're planning a long day of drinking.

LOL Fact.

It's around $8.50 for a chalace of it at yardhouse. Its sorta one and done though. I mean I've gotten a solid buzz off one.

It's $11.99 at your local Total Wine/ BevMo for a 16oz bottle. (2 glasses or so)

I usually just drink the whole bottle myself.

They also have a darker beer.. Delerium Noel.. I haven't tried it yet though

Well this beer sounds like it holds up to its name. Wikipedia says "Delirium tremens (Latin for "shaking frenzy", also referred to as The DTs, "the horrors", or "the shakes") is an acute episode of delirium that is usually caused by withdrawal from alcohol, first described in 1813."

I like my whiskey so I drink alone all the time. Same way I don't have a problem going to a fast food place, bar, or restaurant by myself at the last minute. You don't need someone to ride in your Z every time you take it to the track, do you? Anyway, I enjoy my drink and do what I want while at home, but I make it a point to not get obliterated during school nights. Weekends are a different story though.

I do not have fun drinking alone and I do not need it to unwind or relax. Actually for me it's the complete opposite. I do it to unleash every once in a while from being so proper and responsible all the F'ing time.

So for me if I started having a few drinks alone multiple times a week I would probably be on the verge of some kind of depression.

i dont think i have eve drank alone now that i think about it.

Chuck33079 · 11-14-2013, 12:19 PM

It happens pretty often for me on weekends. Go out in the garage and mess with the car, have a few beers. Work in the yard, have another few beers. Football game is on, andother couple. By the time you know what hit you, you've put down an 18 pack.

I normally have a beer or two after a long day of work or if I've had a lot of tests or something. I never get drunk alone though. I don't really have a problem with people doing that, I'm just not a big drinker so even in social settings I normally only get a little buzzed, if that even.

I don't drink at all, but maybe I should start. A little.

nothing wrong with a nice cold brewsky after work.

Jordo! · 11-14-2013, 05:13 PM

It doesn't matter. Have a ******* drink.

Whether alone or in public, people drink to reduce their anxiety, lift their spirits, short-circuit their ability or tendency to focus too deeply on anything; to avoid ruminating over or remembering that which is best not dwelled on too much.

When you are drinking, the world exists mainly in the moment.

It's probably about equally likely to be just as sad or as merry, as meaningful or as meaningless, regardless of the company.

If you are serious about your drinking, the only company that really matters is the one in the bottle, flask, or glass. All else is just a distraction anyway.

if my dog is beside me when i'm drinking does that count as alone?

Speaking of pets and animals and drinks, when my wife was little, she would walk the goat (yup). That's after they make it drink some good brew. Once she finished walking the goat, off it went to be bbq'd. After that, it's like thanksgiving.

As for drinking, I love a good bottle of wine or gin martini with friends or by myself, it does not matter. I get filled to the throat when I drink beer so I stay away from it for the most part.
