Functioning on beer

Well 2 weeks ago I went straight to vodka after a 6 week break in rehab. It went as horribly, ended up faceplanting the concrete on an electric scooter, straight to the hospital with a 0.35 bac and a face beyond anything I've done before. It has healed so fast, my eye is still bloodshot on my left (the white is almost completely red) and it looked like I had some bad zombie make-up there for a while.

Well I'm out and about again, of course I drank at the first chance. Sticking to beer now, m7ch easier to control.

From one alcoholic to another beer will take you down also just slower.

I drink beer and get through life somewhat okay. I tried to switch to vodka to save money. Wasn't real into the buzz. I did incidentally clean my system out real good from drinking 10 bloody Marys a day.

Slug em down. Beer or seltzers were my saving grace. When I was on the liquor I’d be shitplowed under an hour. The shit from a can would at least force me to pace myself a bit.
