Usually the not caring is what causes me to get drunk to begin with. I'm the happy drunk sort.

Holy shit. The hottest temperature I ever experienced was 40C, and it was horrific.

Australian summer. But trust our government, global warming is a total myth. Their ties to coal mining conglomerates are entirely coincidental.

Rwanda is close to the equator, isn't it? Do you get any temperature variables much there?

Yes, thanks to the mountainous terrain and subsequent winds.

At least it's educational, so it's a win-win situation, really.
CVT Temp wrote:I mean, we can actually create a mathematical definition for evolution in terms of the evolutionary algorithm and then write code to deal with abstract instances of evolution, which basically equates to mathematical proof that evolution works. All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

I don't drink if I feel unhappy, as I'd get like that too. But I'll drink when I just don't give a damn about something that's been on my mind, and just enjoy myself.

Those are the best drunk nights. The ones with friends around, where you're celebrating something, even if it's just being together. Where you don't have to drink, but you want to.
I have been of legal drinking age for less than two years, and therefore have trouble not using it as an emotional crutch when I need to mitigate my sadness.

From my experience, drinking to numb the pain or to change your emotional state from sad to happy doesn't work, and every attempt at doing so has made me feel worse instead of better. Maybe it's different for other people, but drinking my sorrows always led me to feel even worse the next day. Alcohol is a depressant, so while it feels better while you're drunk, the sobering up part balances it out by making you feel worse. At least for me, anyway.

The drunk nights with friends are the best ones, yes. Or your partner.

You're completely right, but I am weak-willed. I think I might have inherited an addictive personality from my mother because she was way into heroin, but that might also be an attempt to deflect responsibility.

I don't think I have a partner. I have an "it's complicated".

I know what having an "it's complicated" is like, believe me. I suffer with an addictive personality too, actually. It sometimes makes me a person of extremes. I channel it into positive things. Because I'm so obsessive over my health and fitness, it keeps me from straying into unhealthy habits. So I'm addicted to being fit. Which is a win win, from my point of view.

Thank you. It took some trial and error, but it enabled me to turn what I considered weaknesses into strengths. It still has its drawbacks, but over-all it's helped.
