And I don't mean in frats, or such nonsense... although they're weirdly the only thing I can think of that literally does that... I drink only in a crisis, but of course, when the crisis lasts for a whole month, and likely longer... honestly don't know which will kill me faster, the council that threatens my life or alcohol, although I still suppose it's the former, since apparently they want me dead within the next month... so, yay, I guess... some 5L of 40%, and 3 bottles of Baileys, so far... and, honestly, alcohol is still the least interesting drug... but closest in effect are benzos, and unless I take about as much as can be prescribed every month or so in a day it'll be useless, so I guess alcohol is the only thing I have (until I have no other options apart from hanging myself, which the council is clearly so excited about...)

I'm sorry, what???

What are you talking about? I don't understand anything you said.

A "council" is threatening your life?

What are you talking about? A condo commitee? A city council?

The council can be savage when it comes to dealing with people with mental health problems

Council housing is stressing you out to the point you want to drink that much?

They ruined the last entire month for me, threatening my very existence (you can imagine, then, how I feel the need to be drunk if I end up speaking with any of these sadists), and currently I'm in some weird limbo, where apparently I might be destroyed if they wake up on the wrong side of the bed and even political parties switching after a decade means nothing, it seems (literally started harassing me last year when the others were still there, and now this year... and I'm actually speaking to the supposed new leader and apparently they still can't do anything to stop any of this... but, then, no surprise when even nationally both parties seem almost identical... apparently even if the main harasser was exchanged with someone else the new person will keep doing the same thing, this 'leader' said... so, I asked whether literally everyone is prepared to get someone else to fabricate an incident on their behalf to waste police time, and... who knows... I just can't believe I was arbitrarily prevented from getting that new place I wrote about elsewhere... would've been making a day's journey to... my version of heaven on earth... but, no, that can't possibly happen if I've been cursed since birth, of course... doomed... for eternity?)

Is someone committing PWI?

(PWI = Posting While Intoxicated.)

Nope... only drink when I talk to them, and this isn't a time when they'd be available (because, hey, destroying my life is a mere 9-5 job, but my life and mind is being destroyed 24/7).

Well, I don't get what all you are talking about, but drinking a s**t ton like you describe would certainly kill you faster than any concil or whatever. Like why the hell are you drinking 3 bottles of Baileys in one night? seems like you should seek help about that. I admit sometimes I probably drink a bit too much, but its like I had a beer too much or maybe a couple shots too much. not like two enitre bottles of liquor too much, if you are drinking 3 bottles of baileys in one sitting then you may want to consider seeking professional help.

No, those amounts are in about a month... most I ever drank of Baileys at once years ago was 1L, but right now I just need to get drunk enough to numb feelings, not pass out... I use drugs as tools mostly, and in June I seemed to be compelled to frantically drink and call ridiculous amounts of numbers... ended up wasting so much money on that, but I guess that's another aspect society tries to destroy individuals with...

I drank all the way up until mid-life, on weekends and even after work. Then I started studying magic and practicing rituals. That New Age road led me back to Christianity. So, Christians should think twice, before condemning magic! It is all part of the same kernel, belief, which is opposed to non-belief or atheism. It is good to belief in something other than just making money! So at that point, with God in my life, it was easy to quit drinking. Teetotal for five years and counting.

If you drink or use drugs, I recommend finding something other than money to believe in.

This housing council maybe stressing you out, and maybe being unfair to you in some way, but they are not literally holding guns to your head and forcing you down entire liter bottles of hard liquor each night.

you're doing that to yourself.

No, I don't drink alcohol because I'm on three prescriptions.

Taking my prescriptions and drinking alcohol would put me in a dangerous situation.

Never.  It has always been a choice for me (e.g., both 'Yes' and 'No'; usually 'No').

I did think it was weird that both my father and my ex-wife somehow found ways to put the blame on me for their drinking problems -- loose teeth, poor health, blackouts and memory problems, anger management issues, violent mood swings, et cetera.

"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have to drink!"

Yeah . . . sure . . . no one forced them, ever.

I hope you find a way out or through this situation. In the meantime, take care of yourself.
