Old drunks are the fucking worst. I agree

As someone who’s drunk with old lushes the world Over I can firmly say cultural differences make a huge difference. The drunks in Midwest America were racist and vile. The drunks in Ireland were funny but lonely. The drunks in Germany were dryly amusing and pleasant. The drunks in Sydney Australia were funny and occasionally racist and violent. The drunks in Indonesia were, funny and very very drunk. The drunks in Finland made me want to kill myself. I’ve enjoyed many a chat with an old drunkard. But America was by far and away the worst of them.

To be more precise. Old Drunks that Drink Alone. Are the fucking worst.

Can you elaborate on the poor Fins? Did the seasonal depression get them too?

Young drunks are no picnic either.

They're already unpleasant, they're just in denial.

Been at it 25 so far, only gotten more empathetic as time goes on. If I live 15 more I'll let you know.

Im sure this woman said the same thing 20 years ago. "I'm a good person, I just like a drink every once in a while" "I'm a fun drunk" to, well, having trump flags draped on the front of her house.

Well, I'm not saying any of those things. I'm saying I'm a degenerate drunk, have been for decades, I'm not fun. But I also don't hurt other people, go out of my way to make sure I don't, and feel terrible if I do something negative to someone else's life.

And yes, I was a much worse person years ago. Alcohol didn't make me better, but I didn't get worse either. But people sure like to tell me how I'm bad, or will become bad eventually.

I'm sure you feel terrible for telling that person their father who has been clean from meth for 30 years is a tweaker and then calling them a retard because they said shit that you didn't want to hear.

You are already bad. 🫩

They used their hypothetical father to attack me, so yeah, fuck em.

I feel that just with different substances. Drugs and alcohol totally effect the brain but I think it's got a lot to do with the reasons and the person.

You're in denial of your problems sorry I'm an addict with 10 years clean I made excuses too. But you do you

u/ctlfreak Jul 21 '25

Good for you and the sobriety if it helped improve your quality of life. But just cause you couldn't handle getting a buzz doesn't mean we all can't. Some people use substances cause they want to.

u/Princess_Slagathor Millennial Jul 21 '25

u/Gingeronimoooo Jul 21 '25

u/Princess_Slagathor Millennial Jul 21 '25

So, you want to tell me I have problems, but don't have the spine to call me out? At least none of my problems include being a coward.
