I refuse to drink alcohol before 9pm, even on work nights. I don't do spirits so I'm not gonna miss work or come in stinking. Just pace 3-4 delicious €7 ciders over 4 hours

Even at my worst, I really hated drinking when the sun was still up, or even when it was twilight. Summer was my least favorite season because the godamn sun wouldn't go down until like 8:30pm.

drinking dries you out remember to moisturize

Whenever I get drunk I always remember this and pound a couple bottles of water right before bed. It has helped the hangover, and I haven't pissed the bed yet. It is only a matter of time, and I hope it's going to be hilarious

While I don't really recommend functional alcoholism, it can be a mildly entertaining way to spend a decade or so if you have nothing better to do.

Now keep in mind; functional alcoholism is different than binge drinking. Anyone can get blasted 2-3 nights a week, recover and continue on.

Functional alcoholism means you are maintaining an elevated BAC level 24/7 indefinitely, AND going about your normal day to day life like any other productive member of society.

Start by easing into it, drinking a few drinks every night if you don't already. On the weekends, just start moving the first drink earlier and earlier into the day. Set a goal like "pork chops, eggs, and beer" for breakfast on weekend mornings. Yum!
After 6 months to a year, you'll start to notice withdrawal symptoms. This will probably happen in the mornings around 10am with some mild shakes in your hands when you're trying to type at your keyboard. Also, you may feel mildly sick after eating lunch without any alcohol.

Do not be alarmed! This is the start of your new life!

Take these symptoms as a cue to drink alcohol. In fact, realize that if you drink earlier, you can stave off the symptoms entirely! Have a beer by 9 am to avoid the shakes, another 1 or 2 before lunch and enjoy a hearty meal!

Congratulations!

Soon you will be stockpiling alcohol. First thing in the morning will be to start the pot of coffee, and knock back a beer immediately. Another two drinks in the first hour should stabilize your BAC, getting your ready to go about your morning.

You'll have to keep alcohol on hand if you plan to be out during the day. A small cooler in the car, or a flask will keep a supply at hand to keep you stable. But that isn't your real drinking. That's just to remain operational.

Your pretty much primed at this point. If you feel like getting a slight buzz, stop by the lounge in the local mall. Go out for lunch and have a beer or three. Going hiking? That pack will be a lot lighter on the way back!
If travelling through airports, plan ahead! Many airport lounges are not open before 8 am!!

Balanced properly, you can maintain a job, friendships and family. A close relationship may be out though, if your SO doesn't approve of your alcoholism. For this reason alone, I would not recommend functional alcoholism if you are not single. Logistically, its just too much a pain in the rear end to hide your stabilizing routine from someone you share a home with.

The plus side is living a life with a mild chemically induced euphoria running in the background at all times. You'll also have an alcohol tolerance of a titan. Way more so than any mere binge drinker. Its pretty fascinating when it takes an additional 4+ drinks within an hour beyond your normal drinking to induce even a mild sense of intoxication. Within a couple of years you'll be drinking 20-30 drinks a day, and hardly feeling any immediate, daily impact.

The down side includes, addiction/withdrawal(you have to plan your alcohol intake for every single day, or face withdrawal!), cost, beer shits 99% of the time if you drink beer, liver damage, and an overall lowering of motivation and depression that comes with substance addiction.

All in all its *something* to do. In reality, it will probably catch up to you, progressing into non-functioning alcoholism; though this may take years to achieve. If it gets that far, and you want to live, it will probably require a 100% stop in drinking for the rest of your life, but thats cool, because its easy to view it as cramming your whole life's worth of drinking into 10 years or so. You got it all done and out of the way. Now for something new!

laying on the beach or lounging in a kayak with a 24 pack, or something is really fun on a weekend with nothing else to do.

but holy poo poo, maybe im just old but i get tired as gently caress and crash hard if i drink during the day. even some mimosas in the morning, i'll just get super tired and want to nap for several hours later on. fortunately i dont really sunburn because i've passed the gently caress out under the sun for hours on end doing this
