I am pretty fucking und-dude when I drink. EVen a little and I stop listening to my body which tells me its not a good idea( i.e. one drink = diarrhea, man!)I also don't smoke weed.Yet I consider myself a pretty serious Dudeist. And Lebowski-ist, AND Achiever( rabid movie fan, right?)I love to drink, I'm just a shit your pants agter one glass of wine and pogo around the house listening to CRaSS kindof drinker, it does not mellow me. Before meals in my house, we say the Dude's Prayer over the vittles, and I stil havent come up with a good replacement for the line which reads 'give us this day our daily_____, i think I might put in MARMOT, since its a fun word to say, what do you think?Anyone else here a Dude who just can't drink?I am NOT an AA person, tried to be, cant hang with that. I just try to use my own regimen, and that given to us by such notables as Oliver Benjamin in "The Abide Guide" to make good, mellow-inducing choices in my moment to moment life and to not crash the plane into the god damned mountain. I am pretty Dude for the most part, hormones being an exception. It helps that I am indeed unemployed-sir, and will be for the rest of my lazy-ass days. Aw Hell, I'm rambling now.

I tend to overindulge when I drink, although not to an extreme degree. I can't bring myself to fully give up drinking though since I especially enjoy a good Oat Soda. As a compromise, I usually avoid hard liquor now for the most point. I also only get about a 6 pack of good Oat Soda about once a month or so, so I don't get myself in to much trouble. When I do drink my wife jokingly calls me a Chatty Cathy. I am not well versed in the ways of brevity, but it is especially apparent when I drink (especially more than a few). I am also an on again off again Artist and often plan to make great art while I am intoxicated often but usually end up only listen to music, making playlists, and pondering! Hahaha!
I'm putting myself on a sober regimen for the time being. I have dabbled in AA before but it's not exactly for me. It has good points but is a little too reactionary in practice. I tend to overindulge which interferes with my taking it easy over time. Keeping my health, finances and relationships on track is much more important to my inner peace.Dude's blessings.
