Drinking usually makes me feel better. But not tonight. I've drank so much already toignht. I have work tomorrow...

Have you consider marijuana or crack?

for most countrys it's the only cheap and easy to access drug (that can really profoundly change your mental state) as long as you're old enough. that's all there is to it.

Alcohol never ''takes away the pain'', it just numbs your brain enough so you forget about it.
Change your life for the better starting today, user. You're lucky enough not to be a NEET and have an active role in society, even though it may feel like wageslaving you have a headstart on lots of societally inept alcoholics.

no op but i did that for years. comes a point for me anyway where you are not in the mood, get buzzed then suddenly get in the mood and can ride that some more years but it really start to feel like a waste of time. evenings shaved off your personal time schedule , even if its 1 or 2 per week, it adds up and i was feeling not being able to come on top of all the stuff i want to do. also, when drunk you don't perform as good at doing your thing and you end up doing sub par or unusable shit... all that adds up over years. i feel drinking twice a year would be best, or maybe every 3 months: i experimented with once a year, twice, every month... the longer you wait the more potent the product becomes, just need 1 or 2 beers to get a sweet firey feel, ideas flowing like its the first time etc. if you drink again the next day to experience it again it won't work tho, have to wait again.

It's a cycle. The shit makes you depressed. It's a depressant.
Stop for a couple weeks and you'll feel less anxiety and you'll sleep better and you'll start to enjoy things again, like movies or vidya or going outside.
All of what I said is true, yet I keep going back to it

Going to drink some pickle juice in a bit

I like to balance it out with cocaine. Strange how well they pair together.

beer is terrible for getting drunk, if you're drinking regularly and have a decent tolerance, you'll just end up with a bloated randy bobandy gut.

You need to figure out why you need to forget so badly and where your pain is coming from. Get that shit straightened out and you won't need to be emotionally dependent on booze. Although that takes a lot of painful and honest self-reflection and you might not have the gall or constitution for self-honestly to so it. in which case, start doing harder drugs and commit to escaping yourself completely. Sounds like you're half in half out right now.

My gut is reaching this level and I’m also getting some face bloat. I used to have a really clear jawline which is disappearing into a belt of fat under my chin, which sucks because I’m generally a thinner-framed person so it looks terrible. Is this reversible? Like if I totally stop drinking and start dieting or something?

Beer is manageable though. I drink beer that's like 5.5% . I can control what I'm doing. With liquor, I've got a tipping point beyond which I black out and just keep on drinking.

So yeah, beer is kinda a drag sometimes because of the large quantities needed to get the desired buzz, but it's less potent. And I'm not prone to gaining weight anyway.

>I’m not prone to gaining weight
I used to think this too. If you keep drinking large amounts of beer, you will 100% gain weight. It might take you longer, but it will happen. Heed my warning

>You're not supposed to drink every day, you'll just get too used to being alcoholized and the effects

This isn't true of you're OMAD and actually workout and stay in shape, I've been drinking every day for 15 years and still get buzzed off of 2 to 3 5% ABV beers because I only eat once a day and am also a marathon runner. If you want alcohol to keep up the same potent effects it had when you were a teenager you just have to maintain a lean body like one

This was me a few months ago. It's time to take a break bro. First I drank only every other day. Then on Wed and Sat only. Then Sat only. Now, every other Sat.

My first few days off the sauce, I was so emotional. Crying at dumb shit. Getting agitated. However, since then I've achieved more peace. The alcohol seems like it's helping you, and it does when you get drunk, but that awful feeling throughout the day that isn't a hangover, but damage to your neurochemistry, is because of the alcohol. Just slow down my man.

It's time to face what you've done, cry, confront and cry again, then try and achieve a sober peace slowly.

Perhaps, but my only alternatives are not drinking or shifting to something stronger. I tried wine but I could kill a large mammal with the smell of my shits and the headaches fuck me up good. Beer's is the best option I've got. Maybe I'll quit if I gain too much weight ;)

You only really gain weight around your gut when drinking beer which can be easily countered by doing sit-ups every day. Seriously I started to get a beer gut despite only weighing like 160lbs and I started doing 200 sit-ups every day (4 sets of 50) and it worked miracles.

I had to stop getting drunk because the depression hit too hard when the effect subsides, almost killed myself put of desperation
Whats a worthwhile alternative

Exercise, getting into a hobby, building relationships, kratom, weed, video games. In order of helpfulness, at least for me.

Stop drinking and go carnivore for a month. I lost 13lbs without even lifting (gyms closed)

yes, if you stop drinking and eat better you will lose weight, this shouldn't even be a question.
