This same show caused me to buy earplugs for shows after this. Testament was loud as fuck and my ears rang for two days.

Consider yourself lucky. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemies. No one in my family has or has even heard of this affliction. And mines didnt come form hearing damage ... I dont go to shows anymore and i've never blasted music at a level where i've hurt my ears.

Was supposed to go to a metal gig last night but my mate bailed at the last minute so I sat about drinking wine all night by myself and now I'm hungover as fuck without a good night to make it all worth it.

Uuuugh fucking GUNNERS are in Australia for their reunion tour atm and every cunt seems to be acting like they are totally sentimentally attached to this shitstain on the underpants of bogan rock. My fb feed is full of people sharing gig photos and articles. Why has everyone seemingly forgotten that they suck and Axl is an überdouche that sounds like a cat being strangled just because they got back together? This reunion phenomenon is bollocks.
Look at this fucking cunt
FUCKN GUNNAZ MATE LOVE EM

My band have retired with quiet dignity and are busy being a bunch of jaded old cunts as it should be.

Man, I always tell myself that I'm going to stop drinking on work nights but it never happens. Feel like hell today.

I don't get alcoholism. How bored are you that getting smashed is a better idea than playing video games or something equally unproductive but less taxing? Is it a depression thing to make doing absolutely nothing more bearable?
Serious inquiry. I hardly drink.

There's a difference between alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency. I would say that a majority of people who binge drink/get drunk on a semi regular basis partake in the former category. People here talk about alcoholism but it's in a tongue in cheek manner because I don't think anyone here is seriously an alcoholic. If they are, they should probably get help.
I mainly drink out of boredom but other times it helps as a social lubricant. I mean, I could play video games, but those are also enjoyable (sometimes moreso) with alcohol so I don't really know if that comparison works. Combining one mindless activity with another and it's still a mindless activity. It also helps to turn off my brain (lol hurr durr guys here comes a joke from someone) as it's constantly going. It's probably the reason I've had sleep issues for years (that or some undiagnosed issue. I should probably do a sleep study at some point).
Alcoholism is the point where someone needs alcohol to function (at least how I understand it). I can function without it. But then there's the whole 'functioning alcoholic' thing that I don't really get. I don't drink every day either. I think with alcoholics it's a constant thing.
I ponder this a lot. There's a line in The West Wing about drinking/alcoholism that I can relate to at times. It's a five minute conversation but it's the part about 1 drink vs. 10 drinks:

I do stupid shit like this occasionally. I also don't go to bed until after midnight and my alarm goes off at 5:00...
I've also been mixing alcohol and diet pills (which at a cursory glance are nothing more than glorified caffeine pills) for cheap thrills lately. Two shots of whiskey and a hydroxycut my mom had and never used are a decent buzz. I'm probably going to nuke my liver one day.
Still I feel like two shots and a caffeine pill has to be better than the 12 ounce glasses of 50/50 gin and apple juice or downing a 40 of hurricane in two minutes.
That all sounds really bad but I've actually cut way back on the amount of alcohol I've been consuming lately. Probably why you guys haven't got any drunken retard posts from me lately.

I'm trying to keep my really heavy drinking to Friday or Saturday night. I used to binge drink almost every day. I don't buy craft beer anymore unless I'm at a restaurant that serves it.
My drinking has become heavier over the years and I'll admit that to anyone. I ultimately need to just get off the sauce at least for a while to give my body a good cleanse. I'm finding that it is quite the challenge. It was easier back when I got a DUI and had an interlock in my car for a while.
