More then I needed and less then I wanted. Or was it more then I wanted and less then I needed. Or wait, ... Oh, forget it. I was a blackout drunk. I can't remember.

Enough that when I stopped all hell broke loose. It was shake, rattle, and roll time.

I guess I just drank too much.

I loved Jaegermeister and I would chase it with beer. On the weekends it would be Fri & Saturday. Then I would promise to not drink during the week and then have a slip or two.

I would usually down a fifth and a six pack - usually in the span of a couple of hours, then blackout early.

I would get a pint of JD & a four-pack of Malt Liquor every day after work. Maybe that doesn't sound like so much, but after 30+ years of drinking, my liver had taken such a beating I would get blasted. Two shots & I was already slurring. The weekends? Around two overpriced pints of whiskey & AT LEAST a twelve-pack of beer. at one point I had $8.34 in my bank account- I still have the ATM reciept so I would never forget it. (about a year ago.) Doing much better now....

30-40 bucks at the bar, 3-4 times a week. A cheap ass $6.99 fifth of vodka every other day, or every three days. My fuzzy math equates that to around $800+ bucks a month on booze, and I haven't stolen anything either.

It never mattered to me, I made it work however it would.

Here was a typical week...

Monday: 2 bottles of wine

Wednesday: 10-12 12oz beers, 2 shots of Jack, 1 bottle of wine

Thursday: 6-8 12oz beers, 2 shots jack, 1 bottle of wine

Friday: 1 bottle of wine

Saturday: 10-12 12oz beers, 5+ shots, 1 bottle of wine

It ended up averaging $200 per week. It's amazing I will still able to function (just barely) at all on that. No wonder I was a hot, flaming ball of anxiety all the time. Jeez!

Cheap Vodka only costs $5.00 a fifth and a case of beer on sale goes for under $10.

Because I shopped around for booze I was able to get my weekly supply for about $50.00

A lot. "War stories" have their place-they help you to never forget where you came from & what awaits you should you ever pick up. AA's great, but they aren't right about EVERYTHING.
