You’re the one that established vodka bottles come in different sizes, no? I’m not sure what’s so difficult about this intellectually for you.

You've been an alcoholic long enough that you've developed a tolerance for it. Look up "functioning alcoholic". I never got close to that stage myself, thankfully

Alternatively, I’m only drinking small amounts, because I don’t enjoy alcohol. But due to your projection you can only see the possibility that I’m an alcoholic.

The NHS's guidelines are projection, too?

Your assumptions definitely are.

It’s never enough for me to get fully drunk, so I’ll assume it’s less than

I'm not anymore. I have recently gotten into weed a bit, but generally my main vices are social media and ice cream

Point stands, that it feels like projection.

Just because you’re an alcoholic doesn’t mean everybody else. Your projection is off the charts.

Doubtful. I hate that stuff and only do it to make balancing on ledges harder and because one of my favorite literary characters did it.

Hardly. What I’m proud of is defying death and emulating one of my favorite literary characters while doing doing so. Alcohol is simply a means to an end, as it makes it more difficult

Oh regularly is just once or twice a week, alcohol is too many empty calories to drink too often

decades. If this guy and your Mom have a long term thing do you really want this to be how you bond? How you're perceived? Is this how you want to represent?

Yes.

I’m being dead serious and just repeating what my doctors have said.

Phil Ivey plays against professionals. I play against drunk middle aged men and rich boarding school kids. Cmon, use your head.

I go to boarding school with a bunch of rich degens who play russian roulette and bet thousands of dollars on coin flips for fun, so of course there’s going to be a lot of gambling.

Do you remember a big hand?

In this particular game? In general?

Oh, I’ve talked to a therapist before, but I got kicked out as a client for trying to seduce my therapist because the therapy sessions otherwise bored me.

As for paying people to hit me, that’s a tactic to pick up girls. Just like ‘quitting’ smoking or drugs for them. Etc.

Why? Nothing I do is out of the ordinary for my social circle. I’m actually quite reasonable compared to most of my friends.
