I've drunk soooo much today and am still not drunk....

So far today I've had

1 litre 18.5% proof schnapps

1 and a half litre wine

And I'm still not at all drunk?

My stomach feels very bad. Like a lot of pain.

But I feel like I need another 2 or 3 bottles of vodka.

I always hated when my best friend failed me too Sam. Might be time to consider quitting?

When it stops working, you're on a bad trajectory.

Time to put it down permanently or continue to slide.

Have some water and go to bed.

That sounds nasty. Hope you quit, before your body does.

We have been there, so you can count on us for support.

Even though you do not feel drunk, I can guarantee you that your blood alcohol content is through the roof. You do realize that people die of alcohol poisoning right?
I hope you call it quit and go to bed.

My addiction used to tell me the same lie. I stopped acting on the opinions of a liar and my life got a lot better.

Best of Luck on Your Journey.

How are you feeling Sam?
That's not a good place to be. Drinking on that kind of level means that for one thing, your blood alcohol will be through the roof even if you "feel" ok... I've been there and when it stops working is a good time to consider your options.

You'll find plenty of help & support here, so check back in and let us all know how you're getting on

Stay safe

Hey Sam. Please don't drive to go get more.

It may feel like you're not drunk but I'd bet that you're close to blacking out if you haven't already.

Wake up and ditch what you have left. And post here.

Yes. I hope you make it tonight. I had a really difficult time detoxing, everyday drinker.

It has been hard, but the one thing I don't miss are the pains in my side from drinking too much the previous night.

We will be here if you want to get sober.

Now is your time to stop. I had the same thing happen where my tolerance became "bottomless." Sometimes I'd stare at an almost empty fifth of vodka and wonder, "Why do I not feel that drunk? Why do I want to drink more?"

I'd say that's later stage alcoholism when the tolerance can't be satisfied. I used to think 12 was a good limit for a day but then I started wanting a 13th drink because the 12 went down too quickly.

Anyways, now is your time to stop.

That's quite a lot to drink. More could seriously hurt you. Stay close to SR and consider getting medical help for detox.
The fact that you've posted here shows that you already know it's time to put the bottle down for good.

I recall drinking all day and not feeling even remotely drunk. My BAC was .30 and I could walk a straight line. Other times I would be wobbly after 2 drinks, and would have varying degrees of brown outs or black outs.

It was some of the most unsettling times of my life.

That happened to my Aunt & she died a few short months later. Total liver shut down. Woke up one day and was all yellow. Went to ER. They gave her 72 hours to live. She died 36 hours later. Doctor said when she stopped feeling the affects of alcohol it was because her organs were shutting down & not processing it. I hope you get sober before your family is planning your funeral. She was in her early 40's with 2 kids. So sad. She was a great person. :-(

Prayers...

Yeah, been there. ONCE. And a couple days later had my last drink, 5/22/11. Sober since and words still can't fully describe the feeling of admitting I was powerlessness and breaking free from the bondage of addiction.

I hope you are able to experience it as well.
