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.

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.
1 ucfgavin 2014-03-24
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
2 Houghton91 2014-03-24
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.
1 jhohcable 2014-03-24
I'm surprised she wasn't dead years ago.
1 CapMurphySeason 2014-03-24
2.5 years max till she's hospitalised with some serious issues, 4-5 years from now till she's dead
15 okconsumer 2014-03-24
As somebody who has had some problems with drinking, it's scared the shit out of me. I need to slow my roll
15 orrangearrow 2014-03-24
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.
3 KainiIndustri3s 2014-03-24
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
1 francis_goatman 2014-03-24
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.
9 DianaKurlan 2014-03-24
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.
16 R_14 2014-03-24
Did you choke down one last ciggie before going in for the big kiss?
5 WiretapStudios 2014-03-24
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.
1 AutoJesus 2014-03-24
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.
1 [deleted] 2014-03-24
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
9 Ebhagz 2014-03-24
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.
10 scrambler12345 2014-03-24
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.
5 havingmadfun 2014-03-24
kind of similar to the person who lives to be 96 and smokes everyday
1 ValleyChip 2014-03-24
I think alcohol does a shit load more damage to your body than smoking does
1 havingmadfun 2014-03-24
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
5 Haerverk 2014-03-24
It's the food. It absorbs the alcohol..
3 Wsallgood 2014-03-24
Does he drink mostly liquor? Or is he a beer guy like Di?
2 WiretapStudios 2014-03-24
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.

6 Moh7 2014-03-24
It blew my mind when she said she had 6-7-8 natty ices. I don't understand how someone can do that everyday.
5 [deleted] 2014-03-24
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.
3 Touch_Of_Red 2014-03-24
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.
2 Moh7 2014-03-24
I wouldn't be wasted after 6 but i would be real close.
I don't have that great of alcohol tolerance.
0 L4A2X0 2014-03-24
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.
9 AutoJesus 2014-03-24
6 is a lot when it's 10 am.
1 AdamDe27 2014-03-24
Well, unless you're :
Fishing
Golfing
Helping someone move
1 Moh7 2014-03-24
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.
2 platzie 2014-03-24
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.
1 [deleted] 2014-03-24
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.
0 trucker_dan 2014-03-24
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.
2 KainiIndustri3s 2014-03-24
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
2 [deleted] 2014-03-24
and in alcoholic speak.. 6-7-8 means 11.
1 MrSerialX 2014-03-24
Once you've pickled your liver, I imagine it's as easy as drinking water.

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.

3 Wsallgood 2014-03-24
When I heard her cough and hack up blie, I gagged. I had to turn it off and evaluate my frequent poison drinking habits.
3 Ojisan1 2014-03-24
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.
3 CasinoIndian 2014-03-24
She makes me retroactively disgusted with myself for drinking Natural Ice.
1 jhohcable 2014-03-24
Just switch to Milkwaukee's Best instead.
3 WhiskeynPeanutbutter 2014-03-24
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.
1 anteatah 2014-03-24
This. How many times did she mention beef and cabbage last week? They were fucking ST PATTY'S DAY LEFTOVERS.
2 meatbeater 2014-03-24
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.
2 Jockel76 2014-03-24
Lady Di is the motivation for everyone of her partners to start drinking.
2 [deleted] 2014-03-24
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.
2 Hard_Fiskur 2014-03-24
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.
2 Hard_Fiskur 2014-03-24
yes, downvote me you drunks!
0 krbin 2014-03-24
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.
2 pekingoose 2014-03-24
And Ant isn't motivation enough to stop drinking?!? Look at the head on that cunt.
4 Hard_Fiskur 2014-03-24
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.
2 Touch_Of_Red 2014-03-24
On the other hand, look at the cunts on his head.
2 [deleted] 2014-03-24
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)
1 BigGreenYamo 2014-03-24
I think Bill knows what's up.
1 skinnytrees 2014-03-24
she made me drink more
1 elitemrp 2014-03-24
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.
1 MartyVanB 2014-03-24
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.
1 BumbiBestie 2014-03-24
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.
1 Hard_Fiskur 2014-03-24
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....
1 dontcallmejames 2014-03-24
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.
1 Hard_Fiskur 2014-03-24
Yup, very similar. I didn't want to go out that way, so made some lifestyle changes.
1 aegrotatio 2014-03-24
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.
1 kangableezy 2014-03-24
I agree. I quit months back, and this week has been extreme motivation to not go back. so sad, and infuriating. major brain damage
1 TheOtherMLK 2014-03-24
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.
0 jhohcable 2014-03-24
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.
2 [deleted] 2014-03-24
I was a 6-8 a day drinker up until Di's story then quit cold turkey, its crazy the effect it has
-1 [deleted] 2014-03-24
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.

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.
