Trying to drink myself into oblivion.

[Orbot_Vectorman]

Hello fellow Escapist's how are you all doing?

I'm feeling a bit down and I'm looking to drink enough alcohol to send myself into oblivion. So does anyone out here have any suggestions to help me along that path?

[Edit] Also, any sad/ depressing songs will do nicely. thank you.

How about instead, you go out and buy yourself a copy of Kingdom Hearts and revel in its joyous glow?

Seriously though, what's going on?

In all honesty, loneliness and the fact I'm failing at most parts of life.

Hard liquor, beer would take too long.
Here's some music to go with it.
EDIT:

Spoiler: I thought of more, but spoilered them to avoid taking up the page

I feel compelled to leave one positive song as well.

If it helps, one of the only philosophies I actually like is that nothing is ever as bad as it seems. I have no idea how old you are, but I'm sure that you can still achieve something in life - especially if you're young, in which I can then say that your life has barely begun yet, and you have to give yourself time. These are just empty words on an internet forum, but its something at least.

And don't drink, it only prolongs your sadness, and also adds a hell of a hangover or even alcohol poisoning if you go too far. Maybe have a nice cup of tea?

I'd tell you not to drink, but that'd make me a hypocrite.
As long you know it's certainly not healthy, but it's your choice.

Spoiler: moar

Not all that depressing but relevant I think

I'll think of some more one the way home and then post 'em. This post probably says a lot about me >.>
As for whether or not these songs are all that depressing is up to you I suppose. /shrug

Spoiler: even moar

Mix Red Kola and lager together and buckle up for some awesome taste explosion. Or Frosty Jacks that'll get you smashed in no time.

Spoiler: Supposedly a song that makes grown men cry, I dont know why its not that sad. If anything its a song to get you through the bad times.

If the line "Feeling like a leper in a world of vanity" isn't depressing I don't know what is.

NNNNNOOOOOooooooOOOOOoooo!!!! That is the worst piece of advice anyone has ever given, he said oblivion, not eternal damnation.

On a slightly more serious note, if you must try to drown your sorrows, why not go out to a pub or bar or whatever they have where you live. That way you might actually meet some people and take care of the loneliness part of the problem, sitting inside getting smashed is just digging a bigger hole.

What helps me out is the idea that in the grand scheme of things nothing you do will have any meaning. It won't even be a footnote in the history of the human race (most likely), and the history of the human race won't matter in the ever expanding universe.

Now, with that knowledge you can think "then what's the point in trying to do anything?" but it also works to lessen the sting of failure a bit and helps you feel better about yourself, and from there you can pick yourself back up again.

Vodka shots should do the trick, but really, you should just talk to friends and family about whatever's bothering you, it could help to vent your thoughts and feelings to.

 

[Reeve]

Look at it this way: At least you're not living somewhere in the middle of Syria right now.

 

[someonehairy-ish]

If you want a properly gloomy song, I recommend this one:


But seriously, everyone has days like this. There's always an option, even if it isn't immediately obvious. Have a tumbler of whisky and then go to bed.

 

[BlackStar42]

I'd recommend some Ben & Jerry's, usually cheers me up a lot faster than booze. That and pictures of kittehs on teh intarwebz.

Voulan's right. I've tried that drinking myself into Oblivion thing a couple of times and believe me, it does absolutely nothing but make you feel worse, both physically and emotionally. If you want to do something destructive, get a punching bag, or something easily stabbable* and something to stab it with, and go to town on it. You probably won't feel much better, but you're unlikely to feel worse, and the repetitive action might even dull your mind better than alcohol.

*Not a person or animal, I hope that goes without saying.

I'll drink to that bro! And, in fact, I already have, whilst re-watching the first season of Lost. Welcome to the Failing at Life club.

Music, "Joy Division", they're not as joyous as the name implies. Sample


Alcohol, Vodka and some juice with several flavors. It goes down like water.

Enjoy.

No.

Stand up, and kick all of them to the ground. Pardon me for being blunt, but this attitude will only make you feel depressed as you'll start to believe it, which is not good. At all. I highly recommend you go do the positive route as alcohol isn't going to help a damn thing.

Negativity isn't going to help. I highly recommend that you just go positive and return to your normal routine. Alcohol in this case is not the solution. I've got no problem if you drink, but doing this is... too much.

Don't drink alone; that's reserved for when you're just trying to relax. Depression drinking should be done with a friend, someone you can ramble off to.

That said, use strong beers such as malt liquors. They don't get you drunk too fast, giving you enough time to be chatty and pour out your problems.

Emphasized for truth. Man, you're able to get on the Internet. That means that at least the bills are getting paid, yes? So chin up and keep a stiff upper lip. It's never as horrible as you think it is, unless you're a kid living in the slums of a third world nation, facing off against a bunch of armed street thugs with your back to the wall.
