Denial .....

[gary05]

Anyone else get really prim and proper and pour whats left down the sink and say im not a drunk ...nd then get back on it big time and say what the hell i enjoy it ?
....need it ........?

[Bigfoot]

Pour it down the sink?! Couldn't you have at least given it to a friend? This story makes me sad.

No. Take control of your life and your decisions, becaase booze isn't in the driver's seat than it will be drugs/relationships/work/psychiatrists/AA groups.

if you don't enjoy drinking then you're doing it all wrong.

[Grace O'Malley]

I don't need it. I enjoy the hell out of it, but I don't need it.

[slushfund]

Drinking. Just do it.

[The Pooba]

Nope, can't say I've ever been prim or proper. I remember pouring out some vermouth once because it was years old and tasted like shit, but that's about it.

[greygoose]

I'm sure there's plenty of messageboards that can relate to your plight.


This isn't one of them.

[Oggar]

Do you mean pouring out a glass of mystery booze you find sometime after you last had guests because it has that weird layer of foam you know isn't carbonation on top of it? Sure I'll even cop to that but if you mean pouring out a bottle well... you're no longer amongst friends.

[Sigh Co.]

I don't even like pouring out the half-empties left over from the previous night's parties, let alone perfectly good booze.

In my mind, that's a sin punishable by drawing and quartering.

[Diabetic Daredevil]

Wounded soldiers make me sick. If you mix the drink or open the beer be a man and finish the thing. As for pouring out booze to protect my self, um.....NEVER!

[Dammit All]

there have been nights that it comes to that point and I say...I should dump this out and go to bed before I black out and start dancing or something else that I might later regret...but I give it to the pooch. She loves that shit!

[flyinhighinCO]

shame on you! why deny it, if this 'prim an proper' thing happens again don't pour anything out, save it until your lapse of judgement comes back to you, then you don't have to make a run to the store. (gary, it takes a big man to admit such a crazy thing on this here board, just don't let it happen again)

I used to make my own beer (should never have stopped!) and had a batch get contaminated. It was totally bad. I had 2 cases of the stuff. So I'd get out a 6er, open them all up, take a big pull of one, just to make sure I was doing the right thing, wince, then dump them down the sink. Then repeat, making sure to take a pull off of one from each 6er just to momentarially let my brain know taht it was the right thing to do. It was the hardest thing I ever did, my brain could not accept it, pouring beer, or any booze, down the sink is wrong and should be avoided if at all possible!

I poured out half a glass of scotch this morning. I woke up and found it by the computer. I had a couple pulls then noticed the bottom of the glass was full of cigarette ashes. It's a good thing I don't hurl easily.

[Sigh Co.]

I've taken more pulls off of half-beers/makeshift-ashtrays than i care to remember...
