Is there a substitute for drinking alcohol?
I recently had to quit drinking for medical reasons and the coke doesnt taste as good without scotch in, or the tonic without the vodka in it etc... Plus I like to feel 'slightly' buzzed. I have tried smoking, its ok, but just makes me sleepy. Any ideas? (APART FROM GET HIGH ON LIFE!) :)
Answers:
How about something with ginger ale in it?
Try pineapple juice with ginger ale. Crushed ice, then the juice and ginger ale to taste. With a sprig of mint.
If you mixed good scotch with coke, you deserve to rot in hell for all eternity. If you can't do it right, don't do it. Darn amatuers.
buy some pot
Once you build a little tollerance you wont get sleepy.
how about just get a life??
you seriously can't live without being buzzed and you actually TOOK up smoking to gain a buzz?
Quit yer complaining and get some counseling. It's not normal to NEED to be "high".
I recently stopped drinking also, because I got tired of it making me sick. I drink coffee now, and it gives me a boost. Try to take up a hobbie to keep your mind off of it. It's been almost 4 months for me, and I have not had the urge to drink. I think it will be harder for me in the summer though. I used to like sitting on my porch in the evening and having a few, while listening to music. But I guess I have to replace it with water and soft drinks. Try iced tea, gatorade, energy drinks (they will give you a buzz, just don't overdue it).
um lets see be normal drink juice or milk or something thats actually HEALTHY for you so you can maybe have an alcoholic drink now and then one day.
You can try drinking non-alcoholic beverages that are similar to alcoholic ones, like mocktails. It's easy, just make drinks that has the same ingredients as cocktails, but take the alcohol out, and maybe substitute them with sprite, ginger-ale, or even club soda.
Good luck!!
I am a recovering alcoholic that's been sober for 10months now and whenever I'm feeling a particular "craving" for alcohol, I make what I've coined "the fakey drink".
It's Sprite with a splash of orange juice and grapefruit juice. It's got the tanginess, the bitterness and the fizz of a fruity vodka drink and honestly tastes like it's got alcohol in it, though it's totally non-alcoholic and tastes good too!
Try energy drinks!
