This all got out of control after the end of a very long relationship. For some reason I started buying a mid priced vodka made in Oregon. Then I started drinking at home and bought the cheapest, most vile hard alcohol you can imagine. I recognized I had a problem and thought I could cut back if I bought crazy expensive hard alcohol, so for a while I was buying 50 and 70 dollar bottles of whiskey and brandy. That didn't work. I drank em at the same rate as the cheap stuff. At some point I switched to a form of beer. The stuff I bought was so ghetto and so embarrassing I've never posted about it--so deep is my shame.
So, to answer your question, I was a real garbage drinker. I would literally drink anything. I was thinking about that yesterday, and by far the worst thing I ever drank was some type of peppermint schnapps. Even I drew the line there. No schnapps.
I never got into wine. My lowest point was about a year ago when I went into a grocery store at about 9 a.m., unshaven, and bought two bottles of cheap wine. That was close to rock bottom.
This has been cathartic. I was feeling a little wobbly today, but reliving some of this makes me realize that I can't ever take a chance by drinking, evah again.
