hey tombot--
drinking. did you cut down or was it never a problem? cutting down, did you need to? did you ever do it cold turkey? i'm not a genetic wino and i'm feelin the need to cut it out; nothing else fills me with such joy these days. AA?
i shouldn't be asking some guy on an internet forum about this, but i thought you might have been somewhere around this yourself.m

Dan,
It's ok. Mostly. They said not to put any weight on it.
Mr. P,
I have cut down on drinking quite a bit from six months ago, a year ago, the year before that, and etc. I have not quit drinking, but I have gone cold turkey before and it was ridiculous (cheap though). I'm not a "genetic wino" either, but I used to do all kinds of stupid shit on/for/with booze.
I can understand where you're coming from re: oh shit this is trouble but you don't need a bunch of other people to tell you not to make dranks the centerpiece of your lifestyle or whatever. Alcohol isn't the problem, you're probably just bored and slightly depressed and day after day you've cranked up your tolerance to a level that seems frightening. Don't concern yourself with that so much, just set some other goals in your life for career/relationships/whatever so you aren't stuck in a rut and the twelve pack problem tends to take care of itself.

Tombot, did you throw any shoes at the inflatable W in Dupont Circle and what size were they?
― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 20 January 2009 14:52 (fifteen years ago) link
Morbius,
I didn't throw any shoes and you know this because having once been a member of a marching band at an inauguration AND the uniformed services I can proudly say that all of this pomp and ceremony is straight up 100% bullshit and that ESPECIALLY includes the unofficial hoo-rah nonsense that has taken over large portions of my city for the last few days.

TOMBOT - a 'white hat' is coming to my class next week. what should I ask him to look smart?
― bnw, Saturday, 4 April 2009 17:01 (fifteen years ago) link
bnw, ask him what he thinks about this:
In 1954, test pilot John Stapp walked away from a near-instant stop from 1017 kilometres per hour while strapped into a rocket sled. Yet that same year 33,890 of his fellow Americans died on the road, often in accidents at 40 km/h or slower."The level of safety (in cars) which we accept for ourselves, our wives, and our children is... on a par with shipping fragile, valuable objects loose inside a container," warned Hugh DeHaven, a crash investigator at Cornell University's aeronautical laboratory in New York.
