I Thought There Was a "Whatcha Drink'n" Thread

I quit drinking for a long time because I was getting out of hand with it. 3 years later I sat down with a friend and drank an 18-pack, by myself, in under an hour, then proceeded to drain a 750ml bottle of Jack one shot at a time. Finished an entire case of beer and bottle of Whiskey by myself in a matter of a few hours after 3 years of not touching alcohol. Didn't drink again for a couple more years.

My problem has always been the fact that I have the tolerance of an alcoholic. Same goes for drugs. Always have had a high tolerance for those as well.

My last angioplasty took 2 surgeons using 3 entry points and they still almost had to call in a thoracic surgeon to crack my chest because they had maxed out the amount of fentanyl and sedatives they could safely administer to someone my size. I kept waking up during the procedure then tried to sit up so I could watch it on their monitors. I remember doing it, but not being the one at the stick.

I woke up after the procedure, disconnected my IV's, silenced all the alarms on my machine, put my street clothes back on, ordered lunch, and called Traci while I reconnected the IV's. The nurse came in astounded I was even awake, let alone functional and AO/3. They had to get medical clearance during the procedure to overdose me in a last ditch effort to put me back down and have a second anesthesiologist on standby with naloxone in case I crashed.

I thought it had been hours since the angioplasty. It had only been 30 minutes. I also have a tendency to react violently after surgeries or if you wake me up suddenly when I'm intoxicated. I sent a couple of nurses and orderlies to the ER when I came to after my ear/throat/skull surgery.

 

A friend of mine recently told me that empty bottles and cans aren't a collection, they're a monument to your alcoholism.

 

Still have a high tolerance too. My bar stocks the 22oz bottles and I can usually drink 6 or 8 of those a night along with just as many doubles of whiskey.

I'm the worst kind of alcoholic, apparently. A social binge drinker.
