Man reviews Whiskey while his wife is packing her stuff and leaving him in the background
Here it is. He says “Cindy and I are breaking up” - then proceeds with the review of Laphroaig 10 Year Single Malt Scotch, which he tells us has been his go-to single malt - it’s a “no compromise” Malt, he assures us.
After seeing this video for the first time, I watched some of his others, afterwards.
Seemed to be a pretty standard review channel until it hit me in the face that most of his vids are only watched by a couple people, and he reviewed a new bottle of Whisky almost every day.
His Youtube channel was basically just an excuse to hide his alcoholism. Dude must have drank several bottles of booze per week off camera.
Agreed. I have about 20 open bottles of different whiskeys right now. I’ll probably have a glass or two each week.
You can have a very robust collection of whiskey and also drink in moderation. I know when I buy a new bottle I’m excited to try it, and the seal usually doesn’t last for longer than a day.
You can store whiskey for a very long time if the bottle is over halfway full. Keep them upright and away from the sun and they’ll last for many years and still hold their taste. You might lose some due to evaporation though.
If you are serious about help, and you are still early in the process, just one less bottle per night every day for a week, then the next week one less than that.
It takes will power, but if you want it you can do it. It doesn’t have to be cold turkey. If you are at a six pack a night, or a 4 pack of some 12% ones you can wean yourself off nightly binge drinking in a month or two.
When you are down to one a night, switch it to one every other night… Then don’t buy any for a week. Then you can figure out how to drink more responsibility.
If you are to the point where you drink one when you wake up, you will need medical detox. If you wait… You will probably die.
Stay strong. Give yourself a reasonable limit. Keep that limit. Reduce that number. Maintain. Stay strong.
There is a community stopdrinking that has daily check ins. Check it out.
For me, if it’s in the house it’s getting drunk. I was lucky that my drinking wasn’t so bad that I could go cold turkey.
Weaning myself off doesn’t work for me, if I have one I’ll just keep going.
Now I only drink on the weekends which is a massive improve for me.
Genuinely, I encourage you to see a doctor first- at that rate you have a good chance of serious alcohol withdrawal. It is more dangerous than heroin withdrawal and the symptoms can range from sweats and shakes up to seizure and death.
Quitting booze will improve your life immeasurably but you need to do it with the assistance of a doctor or GP, your life depends on it. I believe in you, mate.
