This has always interested me. Alcoholics in general I find interesting, they way they HAVE to drink everyday just fascinates me. Teenage ones even more so because its balanced ontop of school family etc Does anybody have any real life experiences with teenage alcoholics? People you went to school with etc? I'd love to hear some stories.
I don't have any but I find that addiction is quite fascinating, although horrible. Being just out of high-school a year ago I've seen many teens overdo it and it is sad. I detest alcohol.
i used to think i was an alcoholic. Started drinking my parents wine and shit when i was in 7th grade. did it for weeks lol. after like a year my closet was so full of empty bottles it shocked me. I stopped once i found the herb though. It just pisses me off now cause some of the friends i hang out with drink like theres nothing wrong with it. In order for them to have a good night with friends they litterally have to go through bottles and bottles until EVERYONE is drunk as fuck. I used to like this but since i've gotten older, hangovers hit me a lot harder so i really dont like to drink anymore. And to make it worse, whenever we do decide to drink my buddy NEVER EVER wants to stay home, he always wants to go to multiple peoples houses and shit and he doesn't have his licence so im stuck driving. I drove drunk twice and i really thought about it and decided that im not ever doing that shit again, no use in risking a life just to have a good time. We've actually drifted apart a bit just because of this. Really does suck to see your friends get sucked into a bottle.
Alcohol is a chemically addictive psychoactive drug. When a person consumes enough of a chemically addictive substance on a regular basis, the body builds a dependency on that substance. In time, this dependency is characterized by a need to consume it – not to ‘feel good’, but rather, simply to feel ‘normal.’ When the body is deprived of the foreign substance, it experiences withdrawal due to an inability to normalize on its own. Withdrawal symptoms may include irritability, headaches, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, shakes, an inability to sleep, and physical pain. People with serious chemical addictions literally ‘hurt’ if they don’t get the drug they are dependent on. Caffeine and nicotine are also chemically addictive psychoactive drugs, and produce similar withdrawal symptoms though not usually as intense. Anybody who is used to drinking a couple espressos every day, and then suddenly stops, will attest to this fact. Marijuana is not chemically addictive, though people with poor impose control can overindulge in much the same way others become ‘addicted’ to video games, or shopping. People who’ve used marijuana for a long time and then quit may miss it for a while, like they may miss a favourite TV show that went off the air, but they will get over it without a physical need to indulge.
I guess thats what happend to me then hahahaha. Havn't smoked in like 4 days and i cant sleep, its hard to eat , i get aggrivated and angry Very easily. Guess thats what i get for smoking every day for a few years eh? I used to smoke cigarettes too but i quit those. After a few days of not having one i thought to myself "Holy shit i havn't had any cigarettes" so a few days after that i just decided to stop for good. Had no effects on me what-so-ever. Everything in moderation
Yeah I had friends like this in highschool. That moved to smoking weed while drinking, then smoking weed, doing coke, and drinking. Now they just do coke and shoot heroine all day long... .... My friends were fucked up individuals, thankfully i moved accross the country before I got to involved in their shit.
I was borderline alcoholic in High-school....it got to the pint where I would take a water-bottle of str8 liquor to school with me each day, (its surprisingly easy to get trashed at school)...I would start drinking in 3rd period, when I knew it was safe...and by the end of fourth I would be pretty damn drunk....sometimes so drunk it was really hard to hide. All I can say is that it was because of a girl. It was stupid of me but I was so depressed and drinking was the only thing that seemed to help.... I found the herb soon after and now I only drink when Im at social gatherings in where weed cant be smoked...so glad I did....
alcohol has always been a last resort for me to be honest (im 18). i just dont like how it makes me feel. i got drunk with a buddy for the first time in a couple months on saturday, and it was basically like no weed...no pills...no acid...fuck ok get out the alcohol.
I knew a kid that was basically an Alcoholic, his first time smoking weed was my first to. I'm pretty sure he stopped now but he got trashed regularly and my friend told me he used to drink beers with breakfast.
Yea I've boned a few teenage alcoholics. They are crazy in the sac, but they always end up being sent away to juvenile detention centers. and once they come out, they won't fuck me anymore. It's like they realized they should have never had sex with me in the first place or something hahahahahaa.
I knew a girl that was an alcoholic for a while. She was also my first weed dealer though. Pretty cool chick aside from the psychosis and alcoholism. It got to the point where she was getting arrested for stealing beer from the gas station. Only 17 years old at the time...
From leaving school at 16 till now (18) i've always drank 4-5days a week much less through the week e.g. 4-5 bottles/cans a night then at weekend like 15-20bottles/cans or 10pints relaxes me just as the herb does
I started drinking in the summer between 6th and 7th grade, have done it in moderation since, I only drink at parties or sometimes chilling with bros and sipping a couple beers. Every once and a while I go out just to get fucked up hahah, drinking is fun but smoking is way better
I knew people that would rob the grocery store in highschool for booze then just drink it all. They were drunk everyday of the week, they usually started at around 10 am. They would take like 10 shots each then go to class. They could've been making bank on all the bottles they stole but they were too dumb.
Its really not a funny topic. My friend in my high school is an alcoholic, he went on a school trip last year and started shaking and sweating after a few days without it... He drank atleast a 6 pack a day up to half a fifth a day. He has been coming to school drunk or hungover daily for the last 4 years of high school.
