Next to a particular bar near home there is always an ambulance, not sure why, but its also a good reminder of the realities of what's next...
My plan is to bring a friend there so we can drink one and later on when I drive nearby I remember my friend and not previous times I went with XABF.
But I haven't done it yet as "going to have a drink" is not something I would plan anymore, besides that place is always packed, and a good night for me no longer involves loud drunks.

Normies don't disable notifications from people who post about alcohol.

Normies will never be told that they are a cancer to someone's life. (hence someone's drinking life)
Normies will never be told "I don't remember much from the first few months that we dated, I just remember being drunk most of the time"
Normies will never be told "I haven't thought about you once since we broke up".
Normies will never be told "My family hates you because they think you are a bad influence on my social life" or "My family hates you because you don't make enough money to support us both"
Normies will never be told that their dog is the reason they drink. LOL
Quack Quack Quack

Normies don't think back to their wedding day and realize that the only worry that day was how drunk the groom was going to get.
Normies don't have to wait until day 2 to consummate such marriage because the groom passes out.
Normies don't know how many full beer bottles are in the house, how much scotch and wine is left in each individual bottle. Which means they do not have the clairvoyance and magical gift to foresee a trip to the corner store down to the hour.
Normies don't ask the cashier to put the booze on a separate bill since it is easier for the accounting. Normies don't have booze as its own subcategory in the accounting software.
Normies living in Canada don't sleep with their bedroom window open in January so the stench of booze is bearable.
Normies don't cover up empties in the garage with big blankets so that the neighbors won't know and talk. Normies therefore also do not know that dreadful sad feeling when they realize a new blanket is needed again.
I think I could do this for hours. Thanks for the thread.

Normie's don't know the feeling of shame that accompanies backing out of the drive in the morning on the way to work, knowing that the neighbors probably heard the horrible fighting coming from your home the night before.

Normies don't have a drunk wife yelling at you to fix the toilet because its been running all day and it won't stop. Only to find when you go to repair it a 3 liter wine box submerged in the water tank !

Normies won't be told "I couldn't stop drinking long enough to save up money for an engagement/wedding ring for you."
Normies won't be woke up from sleep, hearing their spouse urinating in bed and then to tell us they swear they're not on alcohol or drugs.
