#binge drinking

[sweaterkittensahoy]

Heads up for anyone going into the Red, White, and Royal Blue movie without having read the book: in the book, there are several scenes of binge drinking. Most of them are "out at the bars being 22 and dumb" sort of drinking, but a couple times, it is because Alex is upset and numbing himself.

I don't know how much of it is going to show up in the movie. Having re-read the book the other day, I kind of hope some of it gets cut just because I got about halfway through and went, "Look, my twenties were pretty ripped, but slow the fuck down, dude."

So, in case that's a squick or a trigger for you, take care of yourself.

My therapist acknowledged my progress today. He didn’t just say that, or that he was proud of me. He gave specific examples and feedback that demonstrated that despite a dangerous drinking episode over the weekend, the way I’m responding to it shows a new level of insight. That means so much to me. I was so afraid of his reaction, I now realize. So many others respond so judgmentally, negatively in the wake of my problematic alcohol use, force me into AA or consider HLOC. We’re also supposed to start trauma therapy & EMDR and I was worried this would postpone his decision that I’m ready.

The more time I spend as a nondrinker (6 years) the more I'm horrified about how excess drinking/binge drinking are normalized.

Just to get it out of the way: I'm not talking about having a couple of beers with your meal or whatever.

I'm talking about getting piss faced drunk regularly and, like, expecting other people to find that amusing? Or at least accepting it.

And I know people who I'm pretty sure have rip roaring alcohol problems and I just don't know what to say. Or if I even should say anything.

I mean, no one wants to hear that from a former drinker, right? It's just Audley the teetotaler here to rain on everyone's parade!

I haven’t posted on this account in years but I’m back to say:

If you’re a drinker please, please, please do not drink thing that are not meant to be consumed.

I have drank mouthwash, hand sanitizer, and paint stripper in an attempt to get drunk. The harm reduction advocate in my brain hates that I didn’t look for better solutions but I also recognize that I did what I did for a reason. I don’t want anyone to feel ashamed if they’ve done the same (or similar), I just want people who maybe are considering it to think twice. If you’re struggling to access or buy alcohol I promise there are better ways, if anyone is curious what I mean I can make another post. Please please take care of yourselves

By now I had enough alcohol inside me to feel despair at the prospect of having to stop drinking.

I’m gonna attempt to quit drinking alcohol again. I’m only having a drink now cause I’m scared of dangerous withdrawal symptoms. (Alcohol withdrawal can kill you)

any advice/suggestions/support are immensely appreciated 🌻

well the good news is i didn't use ED symptoms much this week. but drinking got bad, i lost my phone and fell on my face😣i've gotten a replacement phone but that involved informing my parents which was frustrating, to say the least. they'll be in town this week and i've finally convinced them to have a family session so hopefully that will go well; i see my therapist individually beforehand so that should help.

CW: teenage binge drinking, alcohol dependence, gender stuff and low self esteem.

Payton was a bit of an unruly teenager, and used alcohol to cope with keeping their queerness a secret from their family, and then later keeping their gender identity a secret from their first partner. They had no regard for their own wellbeing while drinking, getting into fights and other dangerous scenarios, and more often than not, blacking out before making it home. By the time they finished school, their partner had broken up with them, and their parents put them in therapy to deal with the binge drinking. They eventually decided to come out to their family and swear off alcohol for good, knowing they'd never truly accept and know themself if they didn't do both.

Nowadays, even the smell of alcohol can be enough to trigger memories of that shame and self-hatred. The idea of drinking any makes them feel sick. Luckily, Autumn isn't big on drinking either, so it doesn't often come up unless they're going out as a group.

The fic idea I had would involve Payton going out with their work colleagues, and it might also be a fun introduction to Claudette's eventual love interest.

In a couple of weeks, I have a short meeting with the UK partner of the company I work for (basically my boss’s boss) to talk about the company’s drinking culture and the pressure people (especially new employees and recently hired grads) feel to drink more than they’re comfortable with in order to fit in. Sometimes this is someone actively applying pressure like buying rounds of shots and ordering them more drinks after they’ve said they’ll just have one, and sometimes this is just the feeling that everyone else around them is drinking and so they should too to fit in.

I have anecdotes from three different people of times they’ve felt pressured, plus the stuff I’ve witnessed myself. What I don’t have is a perfect solution to the problem that doesn’t come across as spoiling the fun for the people who do want to drink ridiculous amounts, or without allocating blame and pointing fingers at people who are trying to be friendly/sociable.

The ideas I’ve had so far are:

1) Make the non-alcoholic options easy and obvious. We had a post-quarterly-meeting celebration a few weeks ago at a bar near the office and there were bottles of beer and wine all out ready on the tables when we arrived, but if you wanted a soft drink, or even water, you had to go to the bar and order it separately. You could do this on the company’s tab, so that was okay, but it meant that getting a soft drink was noticeably different from just grabbing a beer. It would have been better if there had also been soft drinks on the tables - at the bare minimum, water and some glasses - so people who wanted to switch to soft/alternate with soft drinks could do so without it being a big deal.

2) Have someone in the senior leadership team visibly and obviously go for a soft drink as, like, their second drink on a night out. Even if they want to go for another alcoholic drink afterwards, making it clear that there’s no stigma on going for a soft drink because the boss is doing it.

Anyone have any other ideas?

"Much of the canal labourers' reported drinking consisted of the payday binges common among both skilled and unskilled workers. The release from work in bouts of hard drinking was a time-honoured and, in the right hands, tolerable tradition. Though these drinking bouts were under attack from temperance advocates and other members of respectable society, they remained common practice among segments of the working class through the latter half of the nineteenth century. The sheer numbers and concentration of construction labourers, however, gave to their payday binges a particularly frightening edge. The first payday on the Welland in 1873 offered the surrounding community a foretaste of future problems. With all the appearance of a "jamboree," labourers took over the bars and served themselves, ran the city, and drank their way through the town's supply of alcohol, though they were careful to pay their way. According to the Welland Tribune, these sprees followed a long dry spell: "Dry as a sponge after a month's forced abstinence," labourers settled their accounts for board and lodging and then descended on taverns and hotels." Repeated each month, these binges became an expected, if not welcome, part of the construction process.

From the more isolated Grenville, reports of payday binges emphasized less the threat to the peace of the community and more the disruption to the work. In the early months of construction before the supply of labour became more plentiful, the contractor claimed that problems in maintaining an adequate labour force were compounded by the opportunities for heavy drinking in the area. When the Department of Public Works recommended paying the workers more frequently to make the job more attractive, Goodwin countered that he had no problem with paying as often as once a week, but that would only create another problem. As it was, he lost too much time to the men's monthly drinking binges. More frequent payment would increase those binges to the point that "it would be impossible to keep the men at their work" Of course, contractor Goodwin had his own reasons for preferring the longer interval between paydays, not to an important point, nonetheless, for those who tied excessive drinking to paydays. From his perspective, unless the means could be found to stop or at least regulate the sale of alcohol, the choice appeared to be between a small workforce sober much of the time and a larger workforce too frequently drunk.""
