I was bordering suicidal this morning due to some of the dark feelings I felt. Slowly coming away from that now, but still feel like hangovers just destroy me now

Here's how I do it:

Do not, under any circumstances, drink beer, wine or mixed spirits to get drunk. Guinness as a meal substitute is ok, as a source of getting drunk is not.

Just sip straight spirits out of the bottle, preferably while ranting about something. If at a bar, get XYZ on the rocks. Gin & Soda water if you want to drink slower.

Drink 2-5 liters of water before passing out anywhere that's not a bed. In the last 5 weeks, I have passed out on: A lawn, a different lawn, the back seat of a car, the floor (carpeted), the floor (hardwood, with a persian rug), a couch, a computer chair and leaning against a tree.

Let me get this straight, your advice to cope with post-drink depression is to get so shit faced that you pass out and wake up some place else?

Yeah idk I've made it work, although that could just be the line cook's special ability. Like closing after dinner service, downing 5-700mLs of Tequila to catch up with friends so you have some semblance of a social life, wake up at 9 to get to work by 10 for post church Sunday brunch. The usual.

Guinness as a meal substitute is ok

What? Please elaborate.

Like you can have a pint in lieu of dinner, but DO NOT drink enough to get drunk. Several pints of guinness will fill you up like a sponge in a bucket.

Who drinks beer instead of eating? Even a 330mL can will increase my hunger if I haven't eaten before.

true alcoholics. i used to regularly forgo eating so there'd be more room for booze

Do not, under any circumstances, drink beer, wine or mixed spirits to get drunk.

What? Why? I'm not made of money

Oh it doesn't have to be single malt scotch or anything. The house vodka on the rocks stops burning your throat after a couple years.
