Nah man if you are literally unable to go out and stop after one or a few drinks, or even none, then you're probably an alcoholic. Getting sloshed on a night out every now and then is normal, doing it every time is not....

[@kit1063]

e c well, I only drink like. Three times a year, but everytime I cant stop myself from drinking until I throw up at least once. Not an alcoholic, just lose my self control when I drink, even if I only drink a little and start out telling myself I won’t drink more. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@JacksonBegleymusicguy]

Agreed. I've been drinking for years, but I only ever got sloshed once, during college. The following morning was hell, and I haven't got that shitfaced since. However, I'm glad I did got shitfaced at least once in my life. Now that I'm older, I think I can control how much I drink. For instance, when I go to pubs with friends I only have two (sometimes three) pints, and that hits the spot.

[@twinkletoes6290]

It is. Having a nice glass of wine with dinner is one thing, but drinking to always get drunk or binging like these sad kids here is senseless and a waste!! If you feel the need to drink to get drunk in order to have fun, let lose, deal with stress or any other reason, then there is a deeper issue going on with you that you must confront and deal with. The drinking only masks that problem and shoves it down temporarily so you don't had to deal with it in that moment, but it doesn't fix it and it won't go away or resolve itself. Those issues will just build and build and build, getting bigger and bigger, more serious and more out of control the longer you do this until it all boils over and you find yourself in a very precarious situation that's very serious and dangerous.

I once fell down 2 meters because of a blackout (I wasn’t too drug, I was also dehydrated and it was very hot and crowded). I fell down from the first stair step and landed on the floor on my left temple. It took me a while before I woke up. My temple were the size of a tennis ball. I got in an ambulance and I couldn’t feel anything “wrong”. The weeks and months after I went to regular doctor appointments to get checked. I have so bad nerve damage over my left eye that if I massage it, my sight will dissapear for a few minutes. I have gotten tinitus (ringing noise in my ears). I had black/blue marks per step of the stair on my entire body. I have suffered from hip pain ever since and whenever I reach my lower back turns to gel. I was 1 cm from dying and a few mm from being paralyzed from the neck down. I feel lucky every day. I have braindamage (probably had that anyway lol) and I stutter a little. But this is better than being paralyzed or dead. I don’t drink anymore. The accident happened almost 6 years ago, but I quit drinking 100% a year ago. Whenever I got a glass of wine I got anxiety and was afraid of walking stairs. So I decided to just stop. I don’t miss it ^___^

[@EzioAuditoreDaFirenze99]

It's not just accidents that are an issue. If you're a regular heavy drinker, it will shorten your life, probably dramatically due to preventable illnesses such as alcoholic fatty liver disease (which can lead to cirrhosis and death), alcohol-related stroke or alcohol-related dementia. If you are an occasional binge drinker, then you have less alcohol tolerance compared to someone who drinks heavily daily, and you are at risk of lethal alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning doesn't wait around. You will fall into a coma and can die in a matter of hours. Drink responsibly, get help if you need it (a quick google search will tell you about all the services in your area) and when it is time to stop, stop.

I quit drinking because I don’t know how to have a healthy relationship with alcohol. I can’t just have a couple glasses of wine or a few beers, I have to drink until I’m so drunk I pass out, black out or do something stupid that I always regret. So therefore since I was a binge drinker I decided to quit altogether. It still gives me anxiety, it’s so hard to not want to drink.

[@keatonscreations]

If you HAVE to get drunk every time you drink, or if you just want to drink a little bit but always end up wasted... that’s how I was. It took a lot of years, a lot of blackouts, a lot of ruined relationships, a lot of embarrassing moments and regrets to realize that I CANNOT drink. I wanted so much to be a social drinker, but some of our brains just aren’t wired that way. I wasn’t an alcoholic but when I did drink, I couldn’t stop. I could go a year without ever having a drop of alcohol. But when I did drink, I’d get hammered and make an absolute fool of myself and be hungover for days. I went on my first real adult vacation with my best friend this last month. To a party town. I didn’t drink a single drop of alcohol and it was the best week of my life! And I can remember ALL of it! Nothing, NOTHING good comes from getting drunk. I have learned this the very, very, VERY hard way and I’ve tried to disprove myself on that many times. But absolutely nothing good comes from being intoxicated. I’ve had friends killed in drunk driving accidents (they weren’t the ones drinking), I’ve had friends clinging to life because of alcohol poisoning, friends in jail, marriages ruined, careers ruined... it’s not worth it.

[@bakirev]

Keaton Buster Sure some people just can't drink, but saying nothing good comes from being is exaggerating. It's a social libricant and the proper amount can certainly make things more fun.

[@keatonscreations]

It kills me that I've hurt so many people cause of alcohol and put myself in dangerous situations because of it . I'm scared. But I hope I have the strength to truly stop like you did. I don't think I can handle hurting anyone else. Or risking myself..

[@keatonscreations]

@@mayakigen5143 thank you for sharing your story with me. I’m so sorry you’re struggling. The good thing is that you’re aware of how it’s affecting you and you’re not in denial. It sounds so cliche, but admitting you have a problem really is half the battle. Do you drink all the time or do you binge drink? I can’t take all the credit for getting sober. I was addicted to drugs and alcohol and at my lowest point I prayed a desperate prayer. I said “Jesus, I don’t know if you exist, but if you do, please do something big to FORCE ME to get clean and sober. I can’t stop on my own, I’ve tried and I’m going to die like this. If you’re real, please MAKE me get clean and sober.” About two days later I found out I was pregnant and that truly forced me to stop. I’m not saying I’m the Virgin Mary lol. But I do believe God allowed it to happen at that exact moment in time because he knew that was the only thing that would make me stop. The pregnancy itself wasn’t necessarily the miracle. The miracle is that my attitude towards drugs and drinking shifted immediately. My priorities changed, my interests changed, I had no desire whatsoever to get drunk or high- and not everyone that gets pregnant can say that. A lot of people stuck in addiction can’t stop using even if they’re pregnant. So, I don’t know if you’re into praying or not, but if you are- or even if you’re not (what’s there to lose?)- I encourage you to pray a similar prayer. “God, I can’t stop on my own. I need your help. Please do whatever it takes to get me sober and keep me from hurting anyone in the process. Please do something to FORCE me to stop.” I’m not here to preach or convert anyone. I just know that when I was totally out of control and I asked God for help, he showed up. I also highly, HIGHLY recommend getting into a rehab program and if you drink daily or you’re fully dependent on alcohol, a detox program. I didn’t go for a long time because I had this idea of what rehab was and I didn’t want to be locked in a hospital for 6 months. But I found a fantastic program by me that did OUTPATIENT detox and rehab. I went there for several hours a day and they had everything I needed right there- doctors, therapists and counselors, etc. It was so helpful and the things I learned there are still helping me stay clean and sober today. I always encourage anyone struggling with addiction to get professional help. Don’t let anything stand in your way of getting into a rehab or detox program. I know a lot of people say they can’t go to rehab because they have work, or they don’t want their family and friends to know (which they need to anyways), or they don’t want to pay for it, or they have school, or xyz. All of that stuff can be addressed later. Getting sober can’t wait and needs to be top priority, because you wont have any of that stuff if you continue drinking anyways. You can do it! It IS possible and I know it feels like this massive challenge, like climbing Mount Everest. But you do it the same way people climb Everest- one small step at a time. Just choosing to be sober for that moment. You don’t have to worry about being sober your whole life- just one day at a time. One hour at a time. One minute at a time. Just choosing not to go out for this Friday. And then when Saturday comes around, choosing not to go out and party for that day, too. And then the next. It’s one small step at a time that adds up to weeks, and months and years, slowly but surely. I know you can do this!!

We need more of these. About more topics. The ones you guys have made so far are incredibly grounding and I’m so glad to have seen them all!

[@samweber3242]

My grandfather actually has stage 4 liver cancer for binge drinking almost all his life. He is on the verdge of death from it. It really causes everything to just drop down hill so fast. Please please don't binge drink,it is the worst

[@glitzygirlx9084]

“I don’t drink for the taste, I drink for the effect” I thought omg that’s me

[@alliestinn5210]

My dad drank a lot when he was dating this girl who was an alcoholic. I was only 15 at the time and we almost got into a car crash cause he was driving while intoxicated. Instead of taking me home from the movies he sped and swerved to his ex girlfriends house to yell and scream at her. That was the most terrifying day of my life and I'm so happy I'm alive. My dad taught me why I shouldn't drink and I never plan on touching a drop in my life.

[@emilyjane8044]

My mom passed away March 9th 2019 from end stage liver failure from alcoholism. She was 58 years old. She was told 5 years ago if she didn't stop drinking she wouldn't make it past 5 years. She didn't take it seriously and kept drinking. This last time she ended up in the hospital they gave her 3-6 months. She didn't make it 1 month. It was so hard watching her slowly decline for two weeks. In the end she could only lay there look up and the ceiling and stare. She slipped into a coma and passed away. I have been sober off drugs and alcohol for 17 months. I'm happy she was able to see me sober. She had one less thing to worry about while she was passing. I could be there for her completely and never left her side. God never gives you more then you can handle and I'm grateful everyday he took my mother to heaven knowing I had a good foundation of sobriety. Otherwise I don't know where I would be now. I love you Mom. Your my best friend.

[@howey935]

My last alcoholic drink was new years eve 1999 and i dont miss it at all

[@beai2231]

I’m so sorry for what happed to him 😢🙏. It’s amazing his sharing his story 👏👏 best wishes to all

[@MusicalK93]

I am almost 7 years sober and a much better person for it. Literally the most difficult part of it is the social stigma. It is extremely rare to not drink at all in the UK. Really, really sad state the world is in.

[@chiomaejimofo4417]

When we're young we somehow think we're immortal or invincible. Glad you guys have started this series and I hope these guys start working on their drinking

[@Gblonkers]

So was Dan a binge drinker? Or was this a one off drunken mistake?

[@chigasaki06]

He told the girl that he would get blackout drunk too. I'm pretty sure he was a binge drinker as well.

[@rebeccacribbon4529]

They seem so proud of it in the beginning, I’m glad they eventually saw sense, I hope this is helping many people like them

[@cometcrasher8106]

3 months sober. The first step is admitting you're powerless over alcohol and your life has become unmanageable.

[@adarcus4053]

I had a friend I used to hang with who would get black out drunk. I never saw the drinking bit but I would see the damage the next day. I questioned him more then once about his choices. He is still alive and I hope drinking less. We don't talk much anymore.

[@Gwenni1994]

So glad I quit drinking. I suffer from depression and after a night out I almost killed myself from the downer of the alcohol. I'm a better person without the drink.

[@JReed1985]

Back in the days I used to binge drink just for a laugh. Now I'm 36 years I have cut down on alcohol and I regret the days I got really drunk and did things I regret to this day. Next year one of my new year's resolutions is to not drink alcohol for five months and see what the changes are.

[@Norib04]

And that ladies and gentlemen is why I don’t drink, never have, never will.

[@boygirlrot]

the way she chuckled as she said shes turned her friends into 'complete alcoholics'. makes me sick

[@constantdoodle32]

I always felt like drinking and me went along together great. Now I'm always getting too drunk and screw up all my relationships

[@florinnyc6371]

I was a binge drinking person all my life. Got tired of it. 2 years ago I was so close to die because of being extremely drunk. I feel and I cracked my head. My only chance was that I was able to stand up, go up and put a towel around it to stop the bleeding. I was petrified next morning when I looked at the huge blood stain from the ground. If I had had passed out that night oh the street with my blood pumping out of me, I had no chance. It was a cold November night. I felt dizzy one week after that incident but it did not get me to quit unfortunately. Now rated 2 years I am on a sober trial again and I hope this time will keep me forever. Haven’t have a drink since 2020

[@BellArevalo49]

This is vain but the biggest thing that made me stop drinking was that it makes girls gain weight and there’s no way I was gonna let that make me feel bad about myself. So I just quit cold turkey. If you have an addictive personality its gonna be harder. But if someone wants it bad enough they can do it.

[@howey935]

I had my last alcoholic drink on new years eve 1999. I missed it at first now i couldnt imagine going out and getting wasted.

[@Finthefish-hr8ky]

Sadly it's the culture in the UK and Ireland. Binge drinking is very acceptable. No matter the cost. Look at the streets in most major towns at chuck out time. It's chaos.

[@michaelkoberl9278]

same in germany...i couldnt imagine the weekend nights in the city without young people getting completely wasted, pissing everywhere or womiting

[@womaninthewave]

Alcoholism has a mind of its own. Once you’ve crossed that line, even a horrific story like this won’t be enough to make you stop

[@1000ginger]

Yes, alcohol can cause many problems but this could’ve literally happened if someone was sober? Like you can fall sober

[@---cx1ly]

thank you for sharing your story. it is true, most people don't think about things like that when they go out or start drinking for the day/night. hopefully videos like this are getting awareness out and saving lives...

[@jenesaperien5885]

My dad died because alcohol..he didn’t eat anymore.. just alcohol.. all day all night.. he didn’t think rationally anymore.. it was a nightmare.. all that years .. everyone was happy when we heard that he’s dead .. My boyfriend is muslim .. I don’t want someone along me that drink ... i ran away when a boy can’t pass the week without drinking .. because in 10-20 years .. he won’t be able to pass the day without drinking.. I don’t drink/ smoke/ do drugs .. and I expect the same from my partner

[@KaiyaCorrbin]

When I was at college, there was a college across the Washington boarder, about 10 minutes away, that frequently had drunk people fall off a retention wall that was a good 10 feet from the ground, and one person actually died from this accident. Truly, it is best to keep your wits about you and keep yourself safe, because nobody, including yourself at that point, can be trusted.

[@meevins]

I personally don't see the appeal what so ever. It doesn't seem to smell nice. It doesn't taste that nice either. I've only had about a glass worth in my life time and that's enough for me. I really don't see how people can drink the stuff personally but there you go.

[@twinkletoes6290]

Most of it doesn't taste good, it's rather odd especially considering so many people just guzzle alcohol. Now, I do like to have a nice fine and expensive glass of wine with a nice dinner. The wine, to me at least, tastes wonderful and you can taste all of the flavors, under notes and flavor bursts. But I only drink fine wine that's from a good year and excellent vineyard, which means it's rather expensive, but it's worth it to me.

[@bayarea1129]

I love this show. This one made me cry. And the pain challenge. This is a great thing these people are doing to wake people up.

[@kerrieannayres8903]

When your young you just drink and drink and I do this myself sometimes I continue to drink I just don’t know when enough is enough you never see the harm in it but this video broke me 💔

[@thelonesomewanderer8359]

I was a chronic alcoholic up until 2 years ago when I ended up in hospital with pancreatitis. now i'm 2 years sober and I don't think anyone actually realises how damaging, mentally and physically and addicting alcohol actually is. It is SOO dangerous.. but due to the high tax on it, will never be illegalised. be safe people.

[@nic0887]

1L of vodka??!!!!! that would literally kill me

[@masie444]

My grandmother died from alcohol poisoning before I was born and I never got to meet her sadly...

[@blackcorp0001]

1 sec can change your life...make better choices

[@TheMutantCreeper]

I thought about trying alcohol once when I was younger to try the taste and not the effect. I now have a autoimmune disease and can’t drink at all. I’ve never tried it and I’m totally fine with it. My dad drinks about 2-3 beers a day and we have money troubles, he doesn’t get drunk but he also suffers internal problems since he’s near his sixties. I honestly believe he will become a full alcoholic in a few years and it saddens me.

[@sloth713]

legalise ganja. ain't no one ever fallen off a bridge from smoking too much weed

[@shaunyb2011]

no? surely it depends on the strand if your talking skunk then think again,i've had a horrible experience on the stuff and can understand how someone could go of the rails on the stuff!..

[@officialmasqq_594]

Gang weeders unite

[@sloth713]

+shaunyb2011 sound like u just can't handle your reefer . it's people like you who try to apply this ridiculous 'skunk' concept to cannabis. that halter the legalisation process. and stop medical patients getting access to the medicine they need

[@skinlesswalnut6259]

I have! Lol

[@dadanikk]

masqq_ music weed gang assemble !

[@reomoloabi7272]

Guysssss omw its so sad to see all you in the comments saying you've been addicts and all that but I'm glad to see you're in recovery! I really hope it all goes well for you guys and anyone else you may know in the same situation

[@cami7916]

Worst part is that they sound proud of it. What the hell is cool about passing out on a primary school or hurting yourself?

[@damianlopez7630]

I'm an alcoholic. And I'm So Sorry what happened to that man. I hope they can all recover.

[@thebinarycode10101]

anyone else have that feeling when u drink then wake up and feel like u killed someone last night? must be effect they put in beer these days.

[@krazykdon]

Johnny Sounds what

[@buzzingnoise]

koko*don* we call it 'The Fear' around here. It's real.

[@aestheticsbyjasmine940]

Its called a hangover

[@Chillywilly8818]

If I mix vodka and nrg drink or booze and Duromine I do that wake up thinking hope I didn't do anything too fucked up last night because I canr remember

[@mallorykittenx1338]

I'm so thankful for recovery. life doesn't have to b like this.

[@Kitsueki]

People don't think before they do. They are so self centred they don't think "it could be me dead today"

[@catherine2268]

I used to drink a lot, and my problems were nothing compared to this guy. I had injuries from alcohol, torn ankle ligaments (rolled my ankle in 6 inches heels and continued walking around on it), and rib injury. The worst that ever happened to me was that alcohol had lowered my immunity and I caught a virus, this virus rarely does anything but due to my weakened immune function it attacked my liver. I was in pain as it progressed, I ended up in hospital and it took them a while to figure out what was wrong and I ended up there for two weeks while I waited for diagnosis and for my liver function to stop increasing. I had to have multiple blood tests daily to monitor my liver and the pain was close to unbearable. I was diagnosed with cytomegalovirus induced hepatitis and it took months to fully recover

[@CeliaMontei]

i don’t understand how can people drink when it tastes so bad ew

[@cloroxbleach8986]

y a pas de malaise most people don’t drink for the taste, but for the feeling it gives you.

[@IDontKnow-pf6en]

as an alcoholic, i can definitely say that while i can drink a lot withoutgetting black out, ive still done terrible things while KNOWING they were dumb. booze shouldnt be taken lightly. if youre like me and cant just keep it to one drink, you may have a problem, and it might be worth checking out a meeting. i still drink, but ive been managing to keep it mainly to weekends, and im working on minimization strategies. im not perfect, but i recognize i have a problem.

[@normalparodies931]

Watching this whilst drunk

[@normalparodies931]

Omfg I don't even remember commenting this

[@normalparodies931]

@Unique what you saying dickhead

[@hippy5865]

I’m 19 and celebrated 2 months sober yesterday. I knew the consequences behind my drinking and drug use that didn’t stop. No one expected me to make it out alive, and one particular overdose according up doctors should’ve killed my liver. First thing he said when I woke up was “I don’t say this very often but you should be dead. Still kept using and drinking ending up admitted the hospital another dozen times doctors telling me if I didn’t stop I was going to be dead very soon. Even the time I got so blackout drunk and passed out apparently wasn’t enough. It’s a miracle I survived without medical attention, that amount of alcohol would have killed the average drinker my size. People aren’t gonna change until their ready. I was in and out of the rooms since dec 2016. I knew the awnser, I was avoiding the problem.

[@ZahirKhan-ox6hc]

And yet weed is illegal when it is 10x safer then alcohol

[@timramm1]

I've kept escapism drinking a thing I can turn too, I usually end up using too. I sometimes end up in fights and vulnerable situations than feel completely ashamed after. It really does give me confidence and helps me forget about my problems. I am what you would describe as a struggling Christian, I have a lot of hang-ups and a lot of fear in my life. I know it can't go on and it usually ruins my breaks away and other plans. Please say a prayer for me that I can give it a miss and that l can enjoy life without it. I fear I'm going to be miserable and sad if I can't get wrecked but it's not right and I know it's very Selfish too

[@scottishstan4490]

I drink a lot when I go out, I often have a cheap bottle of wine, a few vodkas and some shots before leaving then drink more at the club yet I've never done anything stupid. I've always been very aware of myself and my surroundings when drunk 🤷

[@Србомбоница86]

Your organs will get sick girl

[@afergie76]

I wonder how many people who has ‘faced the consequences’ have changed their lifestyle for the better. Someone will say “that’s not me at all”. They should probably ask their closest friends or parents.

[@mofreljnr]

this dude in the leather jacket just laughing at him, what a mean guy.

[@CAPTAINMIIDGET]

NumberNine genuinely know the guy, he told me about this, just said he was crazy nervous (they also cut out quite a bit)

[@mofreljnr]

I also know him, I'm just being a prick

[@okcurrr5573]

I have really bad reactions to alcohol even in the small amounts and at the age of 16 I swore I’d never touch it again, it’s a relief that there’s no chance I’ll never end up with a crowd of binge drinkers putting myself in harms way

[@missmasquerade228]

This is why I will never, never, EVER drink.

[@user-df3ms9gk2i]

They’ll still do it even though they say they won’t
