Game one: Number day a year game

I use to always think to myself the morning of my hangover if you got drunk one day a week that is 52 times a year then add hangover 52 times that is 104 days ruined out of your life per year , then if you get drunk more than one day a week you have to add another 104 days.

Game two: number of drinks game

How many drinks did I have? How many can I go over and not have a hangover? how many drinks does my family think I am drinking? (Not including the ones they didn't see)


When you are drinking you are always playing games with yourself, denial games, guilt games etc what games do you play?

Hi Plumeria,
I think the one of the games I play is the denial? game,...that I tell myself I will drink today and not drink tomorrow. But it is always today......
Enough said I guess.
Interesting that you went into such a numeric count of what was going on.

I play the "I won't look too awful at work tomorrow if I only have X" game. So one bottle of wine just about OK, two not. Four cans lager totally fine, six not etc.
Of course, if I don't have work the next day, the rules go out of the window.
How ridiculous!

That was great! Way before I even heard of MWO I use to keep a alcohol tracker in my planner. Everytime I drank I'd put a star on the day, just to see if it was as bad as I thought. Well its would happen about every 4-5 days..........was that a lot, I'd ask myself?
Then I'd wonder if my family thought I'd have a problem. Or my friends. Do they see me looking longingly at the bottle wondering if I could finish it. I'd top up my glass scared to see it empty. The truth is, it didn't matter waht they thought. I'd had enough.....it bothered me. I was looking at pic's and there was not one pic where I didn't have a drink in my hand. I began to look like I drank, bloated, heavy but a differnet heavy than fat.
Welcome
