So I’d been hella stressed out the past few days and I just decided to go out with a friend.
I’d been trynna get work done earlier but I’d just been sitting there a good couple hours on my computer and my brain literally could not function.
No work done.
So I decided to go out last night. Just me and my friend. We met some other great people at the bar. Exchanged numbers and stuff.
I ordered two Pilzener’s and gotta say pretty good but a little on the expensive side. $13 for two beers.
Afterward we went back to his place and I figured I’d try a bottle of Guiness so I grabbed one from the convenience store as we were leaving.
Meanwhile we get there I open my beer and afterward, he pours me a cup of Downeast cider and then next thing I know after that I’m on to this new IPA which wasn’t fantastic like the cider, but still wasn’t bad.
Five beers down already.
I walk back to my place, calling it a night around 2am.
I wake up the next morning at 10am feeling great and super refreshed. No tummy ache or nothing.
I get on my phone for a couple hours then just space out and stare at the ceiling for an hour just feeling so refreshed and greatful and I just bring myself to tears.
Best I’d ever felt in so long.
I’m thinking about doing it all over again tonight. Simply no greater feeling.
And the best part is, I actually managed to get a shit ton of schoolwork done today. More than I’d managed to get done in all the days prior when I was feeling too stressed and tired to focus.
I tell ya alcohol just clears the mind.
It’s such a miracle drug.

Alcohol actually interrupts REM sleep.
You feel good because it plays on the neurotransmitters. You probably have a boost of dopamine or serotonin today.
For sleep. Take a rocks glass. Put ice in it. Fill it half way with Wild Turkey 101. Drink it straight and fast. Should be just enough to help you go nite nite.
The only problem with using alcohol for sleep is it can become a go to for many problems in life.
I’d suggest getting prescription sleep meds.
Fair enough. I just was really surprised by how well I fell asleep
Yes, or OTC melatonin.
Nothing good comes from alcohol. I gave up drinking a few years ago and I don't miss it at all.
@KrakenAttackin Weird man. I mean I get the health concerns but while I’m still young a couple nights out with the boys just feels proper
I get it. There is nothing wrong with having some nights out with the boys.
Well in my honestly answer and personal opinion drinking alcohol just in general it's such a bad idea.
You’re definitely not wrong, it’s just I figure it can be useful in certain situations
