Try adding White Castles or Krystals to any drinking binge and you will never forget the smell, the texture or the volume of poop.

In past 2 years I have become heavy drinker and I almost drunk daily. I am bodybuilder and very cautious about the health but tensions in relationship with my girl friend led me to drinking habit and now I have realized I am become alcoholic.

I noticed when I drink, I eat allot, I eat like hell. I am a bodybuilder and always counting on calories while eating. While usually I do not eat meal which is greater then 800 calories, after drinking I eat 2000+ calories and last Monday I eat 4800 calories which caused me diarrhea and my stomach was upset for about a week. On Monday, I eat dominos pizza 1800 calories, chicken breast roasted 600 calories and few potato chips 1200 calories, along with 6-7 shots of 60ml whiskey (I don't remember how much) 400 calories(48% volume) and some other food 800 calories.

I got diarrhea next day and it continued for next 6 days, I never had this problem. Do you see what is the cause of problem here?

Alcohol makes me hungry and I keep eating , eating, eating. My body do not need that much food but again alcohol is an ACID hence I must eat something with it or it will directly hit my kidneys.

Alcohol makes you eat so much, you end up upsetting your stomach and you get diarrhea in the morning.

Seriously, I love drinking and getting high and I feel out of this world after drinking but I have now realized -

1) Alcohol should not be consumed daily
2) Alcohol make us loose control of our self
3) Alcohol makes us eat which makes us FAT, over weight
4) Alcohol makes us angry
5) Alcohol takes over emotions out and we talk garbage which we never talk if we are not drunk
6) Alcohol makes us aggressive (that's why they say do not drink and drive)
7) Alcohol if consumed in large quantity can cause diarrhea and will damage kidneys in the long run (if consumed daily)
8) Alcohol makes girls out of control and most of the time they do not even remember what they did while under influence of alcohol. My Girl friend do not remember anything after drinking alcohol. Alcohol makes girls 100% vulnerable for sexual abuse and rape.
9) Alcohol makes us sleep, do not drink if you intend to work or drive.
10) Alcohol severally effects our decision making abilities, even after 12 hours in case of over drinking.
11) Alcohol is severally effecting my body building goals and I am not able to archive my goals due to consumption of alcohol.

I love drinking alcohol but all these problems are too much for my goals. I have realized under influence of alcohol, I was not able to decide on many things in my life and my decision making abilities have severally effected. I will now become very sober with alcohol and will drink very casually.

I read some where, for people who want to leave alcohol "not drinking first drink is a problem, drinks following first drink are not a problem". Hence, If I don't intend to drink, I will not touch alcohol at all.

Mike-Bombay,

First, let me say that your post is extremely honest. Because of that, you may not be on your way to alcoholism. Alcoholism is a progressive disease, one of its main components is that it takes years to reach full tilt. It can take years to become a true, true alcoholic.

Being a true wino, I always find myself drawn towards these posts. It's not out of denial, it's out of genuine concern. I will be a wino until I'm dead and gone. I love good wine, and it will be a sad day that I can't enjoy a decent red with some beans, olive oil, and some friends.

This being said, I wanted to respond to you.

First off, alcohol does not make you hungry. It makes you thirsty. Do some research on the mixed messages that your brain will receive via hunger/thirst. These studies are very interesting. From what I've seen, this is one of the reasons that people who drink 8 8 ounce glasses of water a day loose weight. It's been recently debated that we don't "need" all that water. What hasn't been debated is that when our bodies send us hunger pangs, they often aren't water/food specific. You may be receiving true water/electrolyte pangs and thinking this is hunger.

Second - alcohol can be consumed daily. My mother is 63. She can do that one yoga stance where she balances her entire body on her elbows. Dude, I'm not kidding. She's amazing. She drinks 3 glasses of 4 ounces of wine per day. Every day.

I visited my mother in November, and I watched her pour her wine into a measuring cup every night. 4 ounces a time. Some nights she had GASP 4 cups of wine. But, every day, she had wine. And every day she drinks tons of water, and she did handstands in her living room.

You can drink every day.

Third - alcohol does not make everyone loose control. You must believe me. I'm the Poopreport resident wino. I love expensive wine. Does it make me lose control? Not necessarily. I drink too much and get funky.

If you choose to blame the alcohol, you have shown one of the steps towards admitting you're an alcoholic. It is an alcoholic who blames the booze and not his/her self.

Fourth - alcohol doesn't makes all of us fat or angry. In fact, when I drink, I'm the happiest bastard on the site. I'm truly happy. I love it and don't make excuses. As to it making me fat? No. What makes me fat is that I may drink a bottle, and then I decide that I need to eat 2 tacos before I go to bed because my body says "dude, ingest some carbs, or you'll puke." (which is all my fault)

My fault, not the booze.

Fifth (god, don't I love the fifth) - of course booze loosens our tongues. Get over it. If you're that worried, don't drunken dial or drunken email. Who's in charge here?

Sixth - alcohol might make YOU aggressive, but not me. Don't assume the rest of the drinking nation reacts this way.

Seventh - YES. booze can ruin your kidneys, liver, heart, and stomach.

But guess what else? So can smoking, smoked meats, too many soft drinks, anabolic steroids, sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, and a diet devoid of fiber.

I'm not going to candy-coat this for you. I have been a drinker all my life and will drink when I'm that little old lady in the wheelchair on the steps of the retirement home. I have no problem with that because I have no denial about what I do. I love wine. I love olives. I love Mediterranean cooking. To me, wine is life.

I get the idea that to you booze is a demon. However, many of us enjoy liquor as a part of a healthy, non guilt-related lifestyle. We embrace that bottle of wine. To us, it represents familial bonding and friendship. To you, a serious bodybuilder, it may represent a serious temptation.

I would suggest if you're concerned to find a nearby alcohol-related testing facility. There's a SASE test you can have administered to you to determine whether or not you have a drinking problem.

Listen, your body is your temple. Build those muscles. Flex. Be beautiful. But consider this - if you get to the point where you binge because you're tired of such a strict lifestyle that you can't deal, then maybe it's time to realize that life would be easier and more enjoyable if you cheated once a week. Eat a sunday. Have some french fries. Do some shots.

Don't binge.

If alcohol is a trouble for you, I get it. But, for many of us, alcohol is just fine.

I wish you serious muscles and a great life. But, please bodybuilder Mike, please make sure to enjoy life. Don't live life constantly denying yourself. Best wishes.

P.S. Here's a great link for you -
genuine fat free, calorie free, high fiber food

I've always been impressed with bodybuilders because of the amount of mental strength needed to eat the right things and to avoid the good stuff. But, at this point, I think, with the great fruits and vegetables handy at today's produce markets, and now these crazy noodles, there should be a marked increase in the concept of enjoyment of life. To be a bodybuilder today doesn't mean total denial, nor does it have to.

Bombay Mike, I want you to find a great middle of the road. Great body, great love, great food, and great fun.

Email me someday and let me know how you are. You big lug.

Hello daphne,

Your reply is very informative. I don't know why, whenever I drink strong beer or whiskey, I feel hunger and I am not able to control my eating. This also make me very angry. Also, its because of my relationship problem I am not able to think rationally.

btw, I am not wine drinker (I don't know anything about wines), maybe whiskey and beer are different from wine drinking?

but its true, while I am drunk I become very aggressive and I have noticed similar symptance in other people as well.

what do you think. once again thanks for your informative post, i will read it again.

Mike, after doing a little more reading, I owe you an apology. It does appear that while alcohol makes you thirsty, it can make you hungry if you drink on an empty stomach. I guess this is why people have had pre-dinner cocktails throughout history.

I also have to ask - what is your heritage? I don't mean to pry, but people with Irish/Welsh descent actually have a higher prevalence to possess what's called a 'mean gene' in their genetic code than other heritages do. My grandpa was welsh, and boy was he a bad drunk. It was about ten years ago that my mother found a great article about booze and certain nationalities that went beyond addiction possibilities into behavioral characteristics. I should ask her if she remembers where she found it. Sometimes, she would send me New York Times articles. Maybe that's where she read it.

Just curious.

Oh, and I forgot to tell you. When I drink vodka (grain vodka, not potato vodka), I get crazy. In fact, most clear liquors make me wacko, and I avoid them at all costs. It occurred to me some years ago that maybe my body chemistry doesn't mesh with clear, grain-based alcohols. Could it be possible that your body chemistry doesn't like certain alcohols? Maybe you should try some wine or something new.

Hey Daphne, I'm just curious - are you mixed with Mediterranean? I'm Sicilian and Jewish so I always like to bond with fellow countrymen and women. :)

Oddly enough, the only times Alcohol has ever given me the runs is when I've only ingested a little of it. I don't know, though, the last time I had problems, I was throwing up, too, so it may not have been the alcohol because I ended up actually getting sick. But yeah it's weird two times in a row I've gotten diarrhea by just taking one small shot of vodka/whiskey to help me calm down right before bed. Should I not consume liquor if I don't intend to be active for a while longer?

If I might interject on the discussion, Daphne and Mike, I've always believed that intoxication is a unique experience for every individual. You see, alcohol lowers your inhibitions. If you have a "shell" that you never come out of, it could smash it like a hammer. I wouldn't say that alcohol shows us who we really are, since a person's inhibitions are an important part of their personality, but I would say that we all have different latent emotions that alcohol brings out, whether they are aggression, sociability, sadness, anger, hunger, depravity, contentment, or sexuality. I, myself, am a very relaxed drunk. I get this illusion that I'm a really suave guy it gives me a boost of confidence. I know some people who get loud, some who get quiet, some who get angery, and some who want to fight for very poor reasons. It's all dependent on what you're going through and who you are.

Oh... wait.

And I poop, poop poop poop pooop. This is a post about poop. Blah

Excellent point, Derek. I do, though, think that there are alcohols that don't mix with someone's personal chemistry. For me, it's wine that does the happy trick, but clear booze makes me psycho. The last time I drank clear grain vodka, I woke up the next day at 5 PM with a few bruises and half of my hair. Apparently, I'd agreed to a haircut while bombed and then attacked the girl who cut it for me. Never,never again. Novodkafordaphne.

Pass those grapes.

daphne, I am hindu, mike is just my screen name. well, i kind of took your advice and have now moved to premium whiskey (more expensive) (wine is not my thing! sorry!) and i am feeling much better... its kind of very light and i am not getting any hangovers even after 250ml driking.

btw, I tested jony walkers red label and it was amazing, damn it costs $70 / bottel here which is kind of expensive for me. I go for more of a like $20 / bottle wiskey.

Derek, I fully agree with you. alcohol does bring out emotions. Another thing I noticed is I have this bad habit of working and chewing food in nights, alcohol just enhance this. Tomorrow onwards, i will decide what i have to eat in advance and then will eat very less.

Lets c.........

btw, My dierrah problem is totally gone and I am feeling very normal. I think this happened when i stopped dirking for 2-3 days, anyway, it was long since I haven't drunk may be that was causing problems or it was whiskey which is hot and weather here is also hot.

To the Anonymous Coward who posted on 4/19. STAY AWAY FROM VODKA. If I drink too much of anything I tend to have these problems, but drinking vodka makes it ten times worse. Try drinking something other than vodka and see if the situation improves.

Mike, that's great to hear! I had no idea Johnny Walker Red was that much. I like it better than the black, but I don't like blended scotch.

If you are having a better time with other boozes, it almost sounds like you and I experienced kind of the same thing drinking alcohol not good for our personal chemistry. One of my best friends can drink vodka and be fine - not me. Ever.

If you have looking for a decent 20 dollar whiskey, here are a few suggestions that you might want to try at a bar before buying a bottle:

George Dickel
Elijah Craig (bourbon, but yummy)
Jim Beam Black

There are tons of them out there, but for flavor and quality, I really like these particular bourbon/whiskeys. Sometimes we might buy a bottle of Knob Creek, but not very often. It's a heavier booze and better suited for sipping.

I'm really glad you checked back in and have found a better drink. You know, 2 nights ago my husband and I went out to dinner (we go out once a month) and I had a higher end margarita and 2 shots of Sauza Tequila over the course of 2 hours. Even though there were decent quality drinks, I felt weird by the end of the night. I just cannot drink a clear liquor. Next time, Sauza gold or Hornitos!

Mike and Daphne.....You will be shocked and amazed when I tell you what I used to pay for booze when I was overseas back in the 60s. A quart bottle of Johnny Walker Red was $3.75, the black was, I believe $4.50. If all I wanted was gin I could get a quart of Gilbeys for .85.

I smoked then and could get a carton of smokes from the commissary for .97. I could go to the NCO Club barber shop and get a haircut, shave, shampoo and shoulder & scalp massage all for $1.00, that included a .15 tip for the cute young Japanese barber (female).

A BLT from the snack bar was .15, when we were short on cash we would have them omit the bacon and get an LT sandwich for only a dime.

I used to go to a restaurant in Fussa, Japan that featured a meal of 6 huge fried oysters, almost as large as hen's eggs, a pile of fries, a thick slice of buttered Texas style toast and a nice tomato and lettuce salad with dressing, all for the princely sum of 55 cents. Ahh.....the good old days.....

Eat chilies and feel the burn!!

While this is all very interesting, you all only seem to be addressing the issues from those who binge drink or intoxicate themselves by over-consuming. That overindulgence with alcohol will have some ill-effects on the body, not the least on the evacuation system, is not all that abnormal. However, it seems that there have been quite a few others (with less colourful language, too) who have experienced diahoerrea by only a drink or two. this is something I find deserving some discussion as this is not a problem that can be entirely chalked up to toxins from consuming too much, but could also point to allergies, viruses, etc. I am interested to know if anyone has any theories or thoughts on this issue?

ChiefThunderbutt, i am not at all surprised with the prices you are telling me, but how much you use to earn that time and how much money you make now?

anyway, I am here to update about my drinking habit or I can say lust?.

Well, since the day I have upgraded to premium whiskey and reduced number of drinks (quantity of alcohol) it has solved many problems... I don't get much booze and digestion system is not effected at all. However, I did noticed that it has been more then a month since I haven't drunk, so I must take few days break ! (I guess!).

I have also reduced quantity of alcohol and have realized alcohol is to relax and not for just getting drunk!

Well, i did got intoxicated one night when I drunk about 350-400ml whiskey with coca cola (1 litter of it) and next day I felt very uneasy, had headache from hangover and in the end I have vomit to take out that stuff. Well, I was surprised it happened next day after 12 hours and not immediately after I got drunk.

Anyway, I realized, I drunk too much and it may be was due to high sugar contains in coca cola which made me ill next day because when i was puking I can feel soda on my teeth.

mike-bombay........I also have moved up to quality drinks and do not drink for the simple reason of becoming intoxicated. Right now I am drinking a Flying Dog Road, Dog porter and I find it to be quite delicious. I may swig four or five before I have supper. Cheap booze in quantity has no hold over me.

Back in the 60s when I was a young married man living in Japan I made only $180 per month, at that time the exchange rate was 360 yen to the dollar and runaway inflation had not hit the Japanese economy. I rented a small two room house for $19 per month and paid less than $3 per month for electricity and less than $1 per month for water. We used the public bath house which was wonderful and cost less than 10 cents each per visit. This left the majority of my income for having fun, which I did religiously.

Eat chilies and feel the burn!!

Someone up in the thread mentioned a few drinks giving someone the runs. There might be a few reasons - allergies is one of them. My one friend lives beer but can no longer drink it. She has Lupus and one beer makes her sick. Also, I wonder if some people have retained water, and a few drinks (diuretic) causes the runs.

All this talk about booze has made me think about a drink. There's Jaegermeister in that thare freezer, so cheers to all of you. I'm going to go shoot some cough syrup.

Mike Bombay, good to see you again.

Dear Anonymous Coward.....If you will return and explain what some of your words mean we will try to answer your post. I have attempted to decypher some of your spelling mistakes and have come up with the following possibilities, let me know if these are correct;

wow = Wow

retarted = retarded

us = you

ay = say

its = it's

needa = ????

retartd = retarded???

Even with the spelling corrected the comment uses such poor syntax as to make it practically unintelligable. What grade are you in dude??

...And their flesh like dung. Zeph. 1:17

that same thing happened to me except i actually shit ma pants...i came home let it all out then put a water bottle on ma stomach. i ended up staying home the next day to be sure and by the time i went back to work ma stomach was much better.super embarressin.

i'm a bit of a hypochondriac, and i'm obsessive about trying not to have diarrhoea. i'm just wondering whether it's better to drink spirits (which are stronger) or pints of beer/cider (which would be in larger volumes but weaker)?

i really enjoying going out with friends having the occasional night out, but i really don't want to end up either having diarrhoea the next day (which i think was part vol. of alcohol, part caffeine in the drinks) or staying up all night with the squirts (which happened after binging on beer).

Wow. It took me 30 minutes to read the thread. Some engaging stuff here. I have NEVER got the shits from drinking, even after some impressive binges. It proves I am tougher than the reast of you.

I recently moved to Thailand and have been experiencing the watering and porcelain-cracking. I have thought it was spicy food so I cut it out, but it did not help. I cut out different foods and even blamed it on thai beer. I even had a colonoscopy done. The only possibility I can see is that alcoholism is the reason. I drink heavily everyday and I guess it has caught up with me. At 46 I would say I've been drinking for about 30 years but only in the last year have I had this problem. So the only answer is is to quit drinking. Got to go, it's 2:30pm and no beer in the house!

AC, your guts are probably just trying to get used to that crappy Singha beer they have in Thailand.

When your pancreas has been insulted enough, you will get the shits, Dungdaaddy. It is not always the liver that get beat up.

Wow i experience the most explosive watery stinky black shits that sting my ass so bad that it feels like shitting razor blades. I now drink a jelly mixture when the horrid booze shits start. Mix up a packet of jelly crystals as you usually would for making jelly and take a glass full of the mixute (before it sets) and sip. Works a treat! voila no more beer squirts. and you also get to have some jelly for dessert too.

I've never heard of jelly mixture. You must mean Jello.

After my friend's 21st birthday, she spent the night lying next to the toilet in my bathroom. Upon waking up in the morning we all found out she got her porcelains confused... there was a dump in my bathtub! DAMN i can't even explain how stinky that pile of poo was!

I am post-scotch shitting right now, and I do not think that a handful of Instant Energy drinks is going to make things any better.

It is not the beer alone....it is everything else that goes with it including but not limited to taco bell, white castles, hot winges, nasty chili, nastier nacho cheese treats, etc.

That dump in the bathtub three posts up has the makings of a good story.
