Lady Di is the best motivation to quit drinking

38  2014-03-24 by [deleted]

Seriously I haven't touched a drink since last week and I normally drink a lot. I was sitting in front of the computer pounding back some beers while listening to the show and playing video games, and just said fuck it and threw my beers out.

Anybody else have a hard time drinking since her appearance?

If only there was some kind of helpful advice show for her to call into. Blood on your hands, Sabean. Blood on your hands.

Oh, I already went to a 12 step a few years ago.

More like Lady DIE!!!!! tssssssss double gunz, bitch

This fuckin bitch

I give her one year before she dies from some alcohol-related disease. Probably will be closer to six months.

Why are you sure of that? Because it makes you feel better about laughing at them exploiting an empty headed alcoholic?

I know it makes me feel better when I assume that =/

She has to want to stop, first.

It doesn't matter. Shes needed help for a long time. Just look at the shit Dr. Steve was trying to help. She doesn't give a fuck

If she carries on the way she's going it really wouldn't surprise me if she doesn't make the end of year Supershow.

I'm surprised she wasn't dead years ago.

2.5 years max till she's hospitalised with some serious issues, 4-5 years from now till she's dead

As somebody who has had some problems with drinking, it's scared the shit out of me. I need to slow my roll

Same boat. The last 2-3 years I've really been skipping down the wrong path. This woman really is the end-game of bad lifestyle that I don't want to live.

Same here. I'm only 24 so sometimes it's hard to see the end-game, but holy moly, all of the Lady Di stuff has been pounding it home for me

I just found out a dude I know is in the hospital for liver failure. He's in his mid 30s. Shit ain't no joke.

I quit drinking over a year ago, but I was smoking my ciggies while listening to some Lady Di last week and thinking "what the fuck am I doing?" I kind of got sick of that stale, dirty cigarette experience.

Did you choke down one last ciggie before going in for the big kiss?

Get a good refillable e-cig. As soon as I got one, I quit smoking immediately. You get nice big clouds and the nicotine, but none of the smell or feeling like your brain is poisoned, etc. I've saved thousands in just a few months as well.

I can testify. Bought a refillable 3 months ago and haven't had a real cig since and I was a pack a day man. Better drag and exhale from it. No more chest pains or shortness of breath either. The addiction without the consequences.

did you squeeze out long coiling shit and put out that last ciggie in the piece of poo poking out of the water ... jim said this made aziza mad remember hahaha

Honestly I'm not being a dick, but how is she still alive? My dad has liver issues and he's 50 and he doesn't drink nearly as much as Lady Di. How can you survive that long drinking that much alcohol on a daily basis without some type of complications.

she seems like she could drop dead any time. doctor steve said she could die in the next year, assuming some of what he suspects turns out to be true.

kind of similar to the person who lives to be 96 and smokes everyday

I think alcohol does a shit load more damage to your body than smoking does

yea i'm sure it does, i'm just using that as a comparison in a very shitty way. person who smoke till they are 96 but someone in there 40's dies of lung cancer

It's the food. It absorbs the alcohol..

Does he drink mostly liquor? Or is he a beer guy like Di?

The human body has a great way of adapting to almost any circumstance like this, but other parts of the body are failing. In her case, her mind isn't right, her abdomen is swelling (fluuuuuid), and I'm sure other internal organs are not doing well. It's just a crapshoot as to when something fails.

Fuck you and your dad. Downvote if you agree! EDIT: 13 people agree!

Apply yourself, son.

*daughter

Make a pie, broad.

*son

You know; it figures that you are a girl considering how shit you are at this.

ya think so?

It blew my mind when she said she had 6-7-8 natty ices. I don't understand how someone can do that everyday.

I'm genuinely curious, is that like a lot to you? Like 6 beers would get you wasted?

Geeze this thread is a wake up call for me. Damn.

Yeah, that's interesting to me too. I can drink 6-8 beers in an evening easily (~1/hr) and I certainly wouldn't be sober, but I'm not fall down drunk either.

I wouldn't be wasted after 6 but i would be real close.

I don't have that great of alcohol tolerance.

6 drinks is a lot if they're drank to get drunk. Hell, 6 is kind of a lot to drink over an extended period. Most people are pretty buzzed at 6 drinks.

6 is a lot when it's 10 am.

Well, unless you're :

Fishing

Golfing

Helping someone move

Definitely buzzed but I'd still be able to kinda think. I think any more drinks after that and I would be done.

Honestly I would be so exhausted to do that every day though. I can't imagine living my life that way. Lady di has actually pushed me away from alcohol thanks to this week.

I consider myself a pretty seasoned beer drinker, and a 6-pack of 'Gansett tallboys drank in maybe 3-4 hours or so will do me in. So a 6-pack of Natty Ice tallboys would absolutely do the trick. I'll go through maybe 12-15 beers a weekend from Fri-Sun (try to avoid during the week) and I feel like that's a bit much sometimes. She's drinking 6 a day/42 a week ... she must just walk around feeling like garbage all day. Shocking how Bill said she used to drink 30+ beers a day when he first met her.

Tall boys are a bit different because they are 16 oz compared to twelve ounces for standard size beers, so a six pack of tall boys is actually exactly equivalent to 8 12 oz. beers. (4 extra oz per can, times 6 cans, = 24 ounces = two extra beers).

Still though 30 beers a day when he met her? That's insane!

And as someone who drinks daily, I do feel like garbage a lot of the time...this thread is really making me evaluate my life decisions.

If you drink 3 or more drinks a day, you would be a heavy drinker and have an increased risk of alcohol related health problems.

Not only that, but I wouldn't be surprised if, like a lot of alcoholics/drug addicts, that's an under-exaggerated number so it doesn't sound as bad. Wouldn't be surprised if it's more like 10 or so a day

and in alcoholic speak.. 6-7-8 means 11.

Once you've pickled your liver, I imagine it's as easy as drinking water.

Just ax An-tony, amirite?????????????

As far as alcoholism goes, beer is probably the worst shit because it's packed with empty calories. You destroy your liver in addition to becoming a slob.

Drink vodka, my friends.

But Rodeo Clown...

I need to show my dad Lady Di maybe it'll scare him straight

When I heard her cough and hack up blie, I gagged. I had to turn it off and evaluate my frequent poison drinking habits.

The best part of the Lady Di call was Bill's laugh in the background after Ant asked her if she's done anything right in her life.

She makes me retroactively disgusted with myself for drinking Natural Ice.

Just switch to Milkwaukee's Best instead.

It's not just the drinking, she doesn't strike me as the type to skip the burgers and grab a salad or god forbid eat an apple or some blueberries. Even if you drink during the week (i'm talking 3-4 beers at most a few times a week) if you are eating well, taking vitamins, etc it'll help greatly.

This. How many times did she mention beef and cabbage last week? They were fucking ST PATTY'S DAY LEFTOVERS.

she's a great example of someone who has given up on life and is willfully killing herself and not in the fun way of mcdonalds and fatty foods with the occasional drink.

Lady Di is the motivation for everyone of her partners to start drinking.

I've got about 5 or 6 forms of Lady Di in my own family. I quit drinking hard a long time ago. My family has some of the worst alcoholics I've ever seen. Last time I was at my cousins house he had knocked out every light, tv, and all the appliances were destroyed because he thought the CIA was listening in. I'll still have an occasional drink, but that's VERY occasional. For example the last drink I had was September of last year and I had two beers. I give her about 2 more years before alcohol related causes kill her. The sad thing is based on old photos you can see Lady Di looked like a relatively normal, attractive women that had a good job. Proof no one is immune to alcoholism, and it can happen to anyone even as an adult. Needless to say I have almost no desire to drink anymore. I'm glad I got drinking out of my life when I was still young. There's a very good chance I would have ended up like our own Tippy Tom, or Lady Di.

After hearing she is driving drunk, I hope her liver gives out sooner than later... I'd rather she die now than take some innocent with her.

yes, downvote me you drunks!

The "be nice" white knights would rather see a little pink shoe stuffed into the grill of that Ford Explorer than somebody be mean to Lady Di I guess.

And Ant isn't motivation enough to stop drinking?!? Look at the head on that cunt.

Ant don't look all that great these days. All the hair plugs and fake teeth in the world cannot help the effects of hard drinking.

On the other hand, look at the cunts on his head.

just the thought of their (her and bill's) existence is real eye opener.. they have no ambitions or appreciation for the fact they are alive and are drinking themselves to death ... i dont know if you have a problem or not but if you do, go to rehab and go to AA .... i used to drink alone every day for 4 years ... (5+) bottles of wine per day and i got sober when i was 21 and im 27 now... AA and the 12 steps WORK and i DONT believe in god .. i want to have some kind of positive impact on society ... if i just drank all day every day (which feels good short term) i would end up dead and no one would care or notice (which is the way it should be, we shouldnt give a shit when an addict or a drunk dies)

they have no ambitions or appreciation for the fact they are alive and are drinking themselves to death

I think Bill knows what's up.

she made me drink more

Yeah I didn't drink all week but then Friday came and I still drank ;(

Should've re-listened to Tuesday's show. Maybe I'll do that this weekend.

I haven't drank since Mardi Gras ended (3 weeks ago). Always good to take a break every now and then. Her drinking in the morning, I cannot get.

Damn, 30-packs are always the best deal at my supermarket, but I almost bought something else when I went shopping last week because she made it feel so shady. At least it wasn't Natty Ice or some other bum beer.

I have a difficult time eating when I see her fucking Jigsaw face staring back at me.

I used to drink in my late teens (like lil Jimmy), into my early 30s. I had a liver scare a few years back well after I stopped drinking heavily (by heavily that would be weekends mostly). I don't drink anymore at all. I just don't. The liver is actually a pretty resiliant organ, and I didn't permanently damage it, so it repaired itself.

Sadly, it might be too late for Lady Di... but it isn't too late for everyone. A drink or two is fine... but she is way far gone.... way far....

I was going to type almost this exact same post. i drank a lot starting in high school, and especially through college. i slowed down a lot in my early 30's and i too had a liver scare a couple years ago. turns out mine was most likely due to "fatty liver disease" and i just got my diet under control and got back into shape and my liver fixed itself. but thankfully i wasn't a heavy drinker in my 30's when my weight was higher than normal, or i could've done permanent damage.

the reason you and I even had a scare though, it because we actually checked into it. i had a bunch of blood tests and a biopsy, and i'm assuming you probably had some tests too. my guess is if Di had bloodwork done, it would reveal some major problems with her liver. what a mess.

Yup, very similar. I didn't want to go out that way, so made some lifestyle changes.

I have been depressed all week from this. I love to tip back late in the evening and the following day I want to die thinking that this isn't a bit like those fake Opie videos with the woman scared of automatic doors and those fake regular character callers to Howard Stern.

I agree. I quit months back, and this week has been extreme motivation to not go back. so sad, and infuriating. major brain damage

If you actually want to stop but don't like AA, I recommend reading The Easy Way To Stop Drinking by Allen Carr. Heard about it from Soder on Sam's podcast a while back. Just passed 6 months and it's been great.

Sending the "mugged" stuff to my brother so he might consider cutting down on his drinking.

But he drinks like 3 beers every 2 or 3 days, it's not like he's drinking anywhere close to 30 a day or even 5 a day.

I was a 6-8 a day drinker up until Di's story then quit cold turkey, its crazy the effect it has

Not trying to sound like an internet tough guy, just answering the question but no - the self-destructive behavior of a stranger on the radio has no bearing on how I live my life. I drink a couple beers almost daily and plan to stay the course for the foreseeable future.

Is that you, Doug Stanhope?

Just a Regular Joe who enjoys a couple of cold beers at the end of a work day. Of course per the staff and guests of this show (and apparently this subreddit judging from the down votes) that makes me a raging addict. Oh well.

I hope she dies.

Why are you sure of that? Because it makes you feel better about laughing at them exploiting an empty headed alcoholic?

I know it makes me feel better when I assume that =/

She has to want to stop, first.

It doesn't matter. Shes needed help for a long time. Just look at the shit Dr. Steve was trying to help. She doesn't give a fuck
