Can you be a hardcore drunk and write decent sentences? I mean, we all get drunk, but putting words together in a meaningful sense, takes a little sober effort.

Depends what youre writing. Bukowski said he would never drink liquor only beer or maybe wine when he wrote because otherwise he would get too drunk but he had to be a little drunk though. He also said that though the idea of writing drunk is romantic, alcoholism really doesnt help one to write. Capote said that you cant write drunk, there simply is no way. Ive been an alcoholic the last 9 years and Id say it hasnt really helped me. Im usually too hungover to think straight.
it might help some to bing bing bing

> dude look how life sucks, living in 50-60s America, getting plenty of jobs despite no higher education and getting pussy despite being an ugly drunk.
Truly terrible, we milleenials have it good
Bukowski said himself that before writing, he didnt get any pussy. Only with popularity has he been able to frick.
>shit jobs that equivalent to modern temp agency work (demeaning repetitive tasks with moron-tier coworkers)
>only pussy is from ugly ass bar flies
Yeah, anon. Sounds great.
bad and stinky pussy is better than no puss-puss
I'll admit I never had the problem but I'd have to doubt that.
Knock yourself out. Don't forget to get up at 4 a.m. tomorrow to go to the slaughterhouse so that you can return home to this lovely young lady. Perhaps she'll even make you dinner - a delicious potato! Or maybe not, you've already had dinner yesterday.
I'd frick her too
There is something about bawdy prostitutes what really turns me on.
i'm not usually one to agree with you here, but lately man, let me tell you, there's been this absolute bimbo coming into work everyday since the start of the summer. lululemon, lipgloss, bleached hair, big ass. banger of an ass. and the most ridiculous white girl hood rat with money cardi b kardashian type-a-ho get ups, metallic blue talons for nails, basketball jerseys. the other day, i even saw her reading and writing in a journal. i think she's in love with me
I don't find her breasts large enough but otherwise she's perfect and that man is lucky to have her.
Yeah you do that and buy a house and a car in 2 years. If you do that now you can’t even support living. If all you’re doing is working to put food on the table tomorrow it’s obvious no one wants to do that shit
>IT SUCKS EVEN HARDER NOW THOUGH
Not the point.
The zoomer insistence that their existence is unique and far worse than anything which has come before is ultimately an acknowledgement of how easy they have it. Every other generation would have to accept being a homeless bum panhandling for food if they wanted to be neet, but the zoomers suffer worse because zoomer.
Write drunk, Edit sober.
-E. Hemingway
Wasn't Pessoa a drunk?
meds don't get drunk they consider it uncouth
I wrote a couple of papers while I was absolutely wasted and still got As. Top university too.
It is no more difficult to do as a hardcore drunk than it is to do straight edged and sober, by that point it takes considerable effort to get drunk. You develop a tolerance and no longer function without being a little drunk because you are used to it and if you do not start drinking early you will will not get drunk by a decent hour and probably will end up cursing the sunrise. So you wake up with a nice stiff shot and then sip you way through case of beer or a few bottles of wine during the day and switch to booze to prepare for bed. To be an alcoholic and not become the bum panhandling on the street takes a great deal of dedication—it is more than just drinking—it is an endless battle with your demons and that battle becomes a part of you, sobriety would be giving up the war, becoming the bum on the street would be to lose the war.
I like to write stoned. I overdo it sober
The ideal is to be drunk enough to overcome your inhibitions, but not so drunk that you can't type anymore.
How do you write stuff?
pen and paper or laptop?
would you mind showing your keyboard, please?
If you write with any regularity than the idea is to become an alcoholic and will probably become a pretense.
>Peter Mullen told readers of The Oldie magazine recently of his visit to interview Burgess near the end of his life. ‘In the middle of his room there was a large carboy of malt whisky. And when I say large, think bathtub. I thanked him but told him I was not a whisky man.’
>Mullen recalls that Burgess subsequently consumed three bottles of wine during the course of what was admittedly a lengthy conversation.
Is Hunter S.Thompson count?
>but putting words together in a meaningful sense, takes a little sober effort.
i hate it when people use commas like this. so fricking annoying. just say
>>but putting words together in a meaningful sense takes a little sober effort.
why put a comma to imitate a pause in speech? ugh
fls yeeeyyyy you u FRICKING CAAAAAAN LETS GOOO IM A WRITEEEEEEEEEEEEER lmoa i'm a homosexual
I hate Bukowski.
Why? I think he is okish, and it is not like he doesn't have his moments.
Its his unrelenting honesty that does it for me. Also BIM BIM BIM

Getting drunk benefits absolutely no aspect of life. It doesn't make you better at anything.
Drink just a little to loosen you up and get the feels flowing. Never write anything important or that someone will soon read while drinking. Wait till your sober and reread it.
Faulkner rarely drank while writing. Instead, he would drink to reward himself after completing a project. He would do so by locking himself into a hotel room and drinking for a week straight. When he did drink while working, it was whiskey, and it was to sip contemplatively to augment his thoughts rather than to get obscenely drunk.
All journalists used to be hardcore drunks. Copywriters are drunks who are also into cocaine. If you're used to drinking and you're used to writing it's very easy to write "decent" stuff while drunk.
Are you going to get the Pulitzer Prize for a novella while drunk off your ass 24/7? Probably not.
Its actually really easy but dont be an alcoholic you will really not like it when your heart starts beating weird because you drank too much the night before
Absolutely
