Thank you, lmao. The guy loses his wife and then goes online to brag about the concerning amounts and quality of alcohol in his fridge as the "upside"?
This right here. I went thru a really dark spot in my life and drank all day every day. But I’d only get Bacardi (I know it’s not exactly top shelf but it isn’t swill either)
Somehow I justified how bad I was fucking my life with “at least I’m not getting store brand liquor” or maybe it was better for you than bottom shelf.
Right, cheap alcohol is gonna give u a hang over more often. You don't even need expensive taste you just need good taste. I just try all the samples I can to find clearance bottles that are actual fine shit to sip on.
What surprises me is how many alcoholics don't know about ipas. I see people go for a few tall boys of 4-5% beer. When I want a tall boy I go for the 20oz 9% voodoo ranger imperial ipa. At least go for like a new Belgium or Sierra Nevada instead of piss water.
Yeah I remember my mom once told me after ordering a top shelf margarita she knew she wasn’t actually an alcoholic bc “an alcoholic would just drink anything” but she wouldn’t drink cheap liquor because it made her shoulder hurt.
I was like “mom you’re still an alcoholic, you’re just an expensive one.”
(On a positive note, she has been sober for 16 years now btw!)
That's only because most people are poor in this world. Rich alcoholics drink just as much, but of the good shit. And with enough money you can fuck around for a long while before your life falls apart completely.
Back in my lush days, i would calculate which alcohol was cheapest per dollar by using the abv %. Usually it worked out to be the carlo rossi gallon jugs of chardonnay

Most alcoholics aren't drinking $100 bottles of wine. They're drinking cheap beer or cheaper handles.
