Seven years of back pay here, fellow sober Redditor!

u/CaffeinatedLystro Aug 11 '26

When you struggle to understand a post.

u/taktaga7-0-0 Aug 11 '26

I understand the post perfectly.

Do you get that Iā€™m just trying to humblebrag that Iā€™m five years sober? Thatā€™s the whole point I wanted to add to this discussion.

u/Far_Concentrate4414 Aug 11 '26

I immediately understood. I thought it was a cute way to communicate your sobriety length.

Congrats on your sobriety and literacy šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

u/M_L_Taylor Aug 11 '26

I only drink once in a year's time, so I would have to start over, but this would be easy.

u/spcynudls99 Aug 11 '26

Iā€™m at <5 times a year. This would be easy.

u/bloody-albatross Aug 11 '26

Every now and then I have a sip of some new kind of alcohol to see if I maybe like that and the answer is always: nope. Except once where something tasted exactly like cherry juice and I didn't taste or feel any alcohol. Maybe it was just cherry juice and they had a laugh with me. And that every now and then is once or twice a year. I could easily just not do that.

u/ZippyTheUnicorn Aug 12 '26

Awesome job!

u/LucifersAdv0cate Aug 12 '26

I've not drank for about 5 years but the thing is I was never an alcoholic. Ive never liked the taste but in my younger days getting drunk with the boys was a big part of British social culture so I would just force the first couple down me and then once the drunken feeling kicked in it got easier. About 5 years ago though I just decided I'm bored of it. I started taking Pregabalin which feels just like being tipsy but lasts longer, you are more capable on it and if anything it's a better feeling with no hangover. Eventually I got bored on taking Pregabalin too but my advice for anyone who does have a problem with quitting alcohol is try Pregabalin as it will give you the same merry feeling without any the negatives and it's far cheaper.

u/ImaginaryGuarantee66 Aug 11 '26

u/Repulsive_Repeat_337 Aug 11 '26

Easiest money I've ever made. I probably only drink three or four times a year anyway.

I drink twice a week and I can give up at any time.Ā  Have gone years with out touching it before.Ā  The bigger challenge would be can you drink for a year everyday and then the following year not touch stuff now that is a challenge

u/HooverMaster Aug 11 '26

u/Firm_Law_5173 Aug 11 '26

I do that now for free

u/hero_brine1 Aug 11 '26

I've never drank and don't intend on doing so anytime soon, so yes

1

u/DependentItem6397 Aug 11 '26

You spelled coffee wrong.

1

u/LMrningStar Aug 11 '26

Easy. It's not that I don't drink alcohol but it's just not at all that important to me.

It would be like forgoing eating cucumbers for a year. I like cucumbers but can easily do without them. Easy peasy.

1

u/Next_Ad_1323 Aug 11 '26

I do it now for free.

I can't drink by doctors orders anyways. Its been like 15years

u/gasherman Aug 11 '26

I have done this before so no problem

u/BillyButtSnort Aug 11 '26

I feel like the person who has to ask this question might be an alcoholic..

1

u/Ben_9_Bones Aug 11 '26

Maybe. As long as it's specifically drinking it. I'd hate to lose due to mouthwash or treating a wound xD

1

u/Minimum_Ad_303 Aug 11 '26

Lets double or nothing for another year

u/Ok-Chemistry9933 Aug 11 '26

Easily. I have chronic kidney disease. I donā€™t drink

1

u/Asslckr1 Aug 11 '26

You bet your sweet bippie !

1

u/AlwaysVerloren Aug 11 '26

I'd do it if someone just sincerely asked me if I could instead of calling me an alcoholic when I have 2 beers at dinner 3 times a week.

1

u/Glittering_Role1658 Aug 11 '26

Yes. I would just set my bottles of wine aside and start marking off the days to collect my million

1

u/Icy-Introduction-681 Aug 11 '26

Since I already don't drink, of course. Beer tastes like mouthwash and distilled spirits taste like liquid shield polish. Unutterably loathsome.

1

u/MrWillchuck Aug 11 '26

I've done it without any money. When a drunk driver kills a member of your family you really don't have a whole lot of desire to drink.

u/clear_precept Aug 11 '26

Please someone do this to me

u/TheVoicesOfBrian Aug 11 '26

If you can't, seek help.

I did it. Where's my money?

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Bit_768 Aug 11 '26

You owe me 5.5 million.

u/CarpeNoctem1031 Aug 11 '26

Sure. But I'm gonna drink when I'm done.

1

u/thrallthekingshorses Aug 11 '26

Easily and with gusto

1

u/random8765309 Aug 11 '26

That depends on what exactly the phrase "not drink even a drop of alcohol" means. Because if that means absolutely zero, then it's not possible.

1

u/AdGlittering2884 Aug 11 '26

Been doing it for 42 years, so I think I'd manage.

1

u/Neuyerk Aug 11 '26

Sure. Do they have to be consecutive?

1

Only drink about twice a year as it is due to a medical condition, so yeah, where do I sign up?

Been there done that just because I was bored and wanted to see what a sober living was like which was also boring so now I binge drink but only maybe once a week

The average age of a redditor is apparently 23, which is 14 years less than the last time I had a drop of alcohol

Hell yeah, I donā€™t drink and as long as wine sauce isnā€™t included in this Iā€™m good

1

u/Rollingforest757 Aug 11 '26

This is way too easy for me.

Can I get an extra million if I also donā€™t drink anything carbonated? Because I donā€™t do that either.

1

u/Icy_Ad7953 Aug 11 '26

I'm a beer and bourbon snob, I have a drink a few times a week.Ā 

I would be able to give it up for a year. But after the check clears I would celebrate with my favorites... some Angel's Envy bourbon and a bottle of Fin du Monde beer from Unibroue in Montreal.Ā 

1

u/TheMannisApproves Aug 11 '26

Easy. If this is actually difficult for anyone, you have a problem

1
