Ugh. Drinking to get hammered sucks! It feels awful and is a waste of precious time.

I understand addictions. I'm addicted to a lot of things too. Fuck drugs, unless taken in moderation. What a waste of time and money. Take up another form of hobby and make that your addition. You might find as I did and many of us have, that you're good or maybe exceptional at something else. And that something else will run in direct conflict with getting hammered all the time.
