but if you're drinking because you're upset, than that's no good. you dont wanna make it a habit. remember, drinking only solves things temporarily.

You sound like my ex. He drank between 12-18 beers a day, though not just for 3 weeks, he did it continuously. That's why I gave him the engagement ring back. He didn't see his drinking as a problem.

A week of drinking is not going to make him an alcoholic. Still, I would agree with you that booze will not solve any of his problems.

Just tell this girl how you feel. If she rejects you then at least you gave it a shot and you can move on.

If anyone else has ever felt this way or can give advice, I'd appreciate it. Talking with someone would help a great deal. I can't give more details at the moment ... emotionally drained .. I'm sure nobody cares, but I have to tell someone.


You are not binging because of this girl. You are binging because you do not know how to handle your feelings and emotions. If just being turned down by a girl makes you react this badly, how are you going to respond when you really have real problems and situations to deal with?

Adjust your way of thinking, NOW. Learn to compartmentalize your emotions and look at them for what they are. They are just feelings, and you don't have to act on them.

The sooner you learn this, the more success you will have each time life smashes a brick upside your head.

And aside from all that, in my 37 years I've had my heart ripped out of my chest and stomped on at least 3 times that I can remember. Each time I felt just like you do now. Years later, I can only remember 2 of their first names and none of their last names, and can barely remember their faces.

Time moves on and so will you.

I'm on a drink-every-night-for-3-weeks binge. Some of it was for fun, some of it was over a girl, some of it was just to keep the streak going. Regardless of what people say, drinking is okay in some circumstances.

What you need to do is to talk to her and your friends about how you feel. Posting about it on ATOT will not make you feel better. Doing something about it will.

If things dont go as planned, you have my permission to drink for a week, under the condition that you will do it with your friends (ie: not alone). After that, go out and meet new people and do the things you enjoy.

ps, how old are you? how old is she? how long have you known each other?

Very true. Next time you feel like drinking, go do something productive instead. A little self-improvement goes a long way in battling depression.

Also, going crazy with the alcohol will most likely just drive the girl further away.

Alcohol is a depressant, it's only making things seem worse than they are.

Depressants don't exactly make you depressed...

But back to the OP: talk to a friend...someone funny preferably.

18 beers a night is ridiculous. How can the human body and brain take that? You probably have some brain damage already so you might as well keep going Corky.

Edit: Wait, that was someone else. Still applies.

You left out your health. Once it affects your health, all those other things will follow. And it WILL affect your health, sooner rather than later, if you continue to drink that much.

Chances are he already is predispositioned to be an alcoholic if he can drink this much and still function.

It almost comes across like it's not your fault that you're drinking everynight. I haven't read through all of this thread to see how much you're drinking, but that's just it, YOU'RE DRINKING... Not like the bottle of booze is just leaping into your hand and forcing its way down the hatch. You really might want to start by cutting back on that. Exercise some self control. Becoming a borderline alcoholic isn't a way to win a chick over.

Get really piss drunk smashed. Buy some flowers. Walk (or take a taxi) to her house. Show up and profess your love.

Chicks dick drunk, sappy guys that cry all over themselves for them.

OH, if she shoots you down, use her rejection as your impetus to stop drinking.

Either way = you win!

Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week. *bows*

A month ago, before you last had a drink before this bender, how much did you drink then? Put down the booze, clean yourself up, get some sleep, eat something, go ask her out. She is definitely not going to be into you as a poor, sloppy, feeling sorry for yourself drunk. Sitting there pittying yourself is not going to get you any closer to being with her and she is definitely not worth killing yourself over. It just makes you look pathetic and chicks DO NOT dig that. You aren't even trying. . .you've just given up and resigned to drinking yourself into oblivion to try and nullify what you're feeling. If you turn to booze to avoid the problems you face in life, then you cause yourself another problem. You become dependent on booze. Dump whatever it is you're drowning your sorrows in down the toilet, sober up, and be a man about it. If you find you can't do this, then you probably have a drinking problem and you are actually just using this girl as an excuse to drink yourself stupid. Drinking as much as you have indicated you are drinking is not normal unless you are an alcoholic. Not calling you an alcoholic, but you are demonstrating alcoholic thinking and patterns of behavior. Watch out, friend.

Do not by any means do what this idiot suggests. It will make you look like a pathetic wuss. This is the kind of infantile behavior and thinking an alcoholic would resort to.

[Edit] Ok, it's not all bad, except the first part where he suggested you get piss drunk before going to see her. But it might scare her off if its outta the blue. Might be coming on a little bit strong. . .unless you think she already has some idea about the way you feel about her.

It's normal if you've had a really bad week or if it's your last week of college.

Otherwise... no.
