You my friend are an Alcoholic's Alcoholic!

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

So I go over to a friend’s house the other day.

My friend has a problem with alcohol. Mainly, drinking and driving.

Used to be his modus operandi would be: He’d start drinking at the house; get all f’d up; then want to drive and go party elsewhere.

So what does he do to solve this problem? Quit drinking? Nah, F’ that. quiting is for wussies.

What he does: He goes out and buys him a time-lock safe. He’ll throw the keys in there before he starts drinking and won’t be able to retrieve them until 9:00 the next morning!!

Classic!!

Hey, at least now he’s only killing himself. It may not be the ideal solution to his problems, but I’ll give him credit for not taking anyone else down with him.

Well that’s a shade extreme, but if that’s what it takes to make sure that he doesn’t drink drive then that’s a great idea. Unless someone else wants to pick him up, then he can’t lock the house up. :smiley:

I can’t see this person being legaly sober by the next day. People that drink excessively don’t clear out the alcohol by morning.

My liver quivers, then bows before him.

Wow, that makes perfect sense! Of course, mentioning to this to the (long sober now) alcoholic standing behind me as I read it, he said, “That’s brilliant! Of course, I never had any problem driving: The car knew the way home!!” :smack:

Hehe…my own indulgence and ingenuity pale in comparison; all I have is a complex lock code on my cell phone so that I can’t call people and embarrass myself too badly if I’m that drunk. :smiley:

A coworker told me the story of a truly functioning alcoholic. He got an apartment above a bar and worked two blocks away.

He could literally crawl home from either location.

That was me a couple of years ago. I worked across the street from my apartment and was in walking distance of 3 bars.

Got to give him credit for taking some personal responsibility. But it seems a tad over the top. An original idea though!
