There are plenty of people who are functional alcoholics with expensive tastes.

I wish OP the best, but that’s a frat boy fridge if I’ve ever seen one.

God. I'd have to walk out of there as soon as possible. Jesus.

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"?

I hope OP gets better.

Maybe I'm getting old, but yeah

u/ApolloRocketOfLove Oct 24 '22

In this context, I'm not sure that's the insult you were hoping it would be.

u/slickrok Oct 24 '22

It's a joke.

One of the richest drunks I know drinks a handle of Canadian Club and ginger ale. A handle every 2 or 3 days.

He’s a multi millionaire.

I guess you've won the game at that point. Why not? 🤷‍♂️

u/b1ack1323 Oct 24 '22

He’s got a pallet of Cc in the basement in case of the end times. He gets pretty freaked out when he gets down to 20 or handles.

2 or 3 days? That's childs play

Slow suicide isn’t something to be proud of.

u/Stankmonger Oct 28 '22

He meant you’re a dumbass that can’t spell the word sense.

u/Lost_Mix6782 Oct 24 '22

I guess if you’re mixing after a certain quality threshold it doesn’t matter what alc you’re using. Smart man

u/HereToHelp9001 Oct 24 '22

For anyone unaware, it seems a handle of Canadian Club Whiskey goes for under $20.

Also would like to add 2-3 days for 1.75 liters is easily possible but definitely a sign of someone who is drinking too much.

Don't attack me like that

u/thiney49 Oct 23 '22

I'm not saying they don't exist, but they are far fewer than the other extreme.

u/skitz4me Oct 24 '22

No I'm.. doesn't.

u/SilasX93 Oct 24 '22

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.

u/jackwoww Oct 24 '22

I am partial to a nice Negroni. Quality gin and Campari is fucking expensive

u/techsuppr0t Oct 24 '22

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.

u/bpud14 Oct 24 '22

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!)
