My parents are taking the fam for a trip in April, I know it's a bit expensive hoping to figure out a few things in advance. We'll be staying at The Reefs, I see there's a spot called Henry's Pantry nearby, assuming they sell beer, any idea how much for a six pack? Anticipating drinks will be expensive at the resort.
Also, any tips for less expensive dining options nearby? I'm paying food and drink out of pocket so would prefer to save where I can.
Finally, where's the best spot or area for souvenir or general shopping?
Thanks in advance, can't wait to visit your beautiful island!!!

Hey! Long time lurker, and just needed to express this somewhere.
I decided to go sober at the start of the year and set myself a goal of one year. Unfortunately had a few bumps at the start and broke my streaks up, but more recently whenever I broke it, I didn’t act too harshly on myself.
I’m now at the point I’m going to recommit to one year, with the knowledge and confidence of doing 75/84 days this year (half of those 9 drinking days were just one beer too)
PROGRESS! It feels good! Don’t be harsh on yourself if you break a streak - I’ve reframed it so that if you do end up breaking a rally, it’s actually one rally closer to giving up entirely.
Count the total days as a separate counter too. My longest streak is only 20 days, which reads to me as lower than I want.. but then I see 75/84 and am immensely proud.

It was probably a series, though I only read one. In what I read I think they both find some kind of underground tunnel. The professor type character has a closet in his house specifically to throw tantrums. It goes into detail about the room being padded for this purpose. For some reason I also remember them drinking orange soda and/or root beer?
Anyways, I appreciate any help.

Can't remember the last time I didn't drink 3-4 days a week since 2005. Since 2020 it feels like I have drank 6 days a week minimum. Normally I only drink beer, and Keystone piss water at that, but I have been drinking a lot more 7-9.5% beers, sours, IPAs, Stouts, etc. and it isn't affecting me legally, financially, etc. but my body has taken a beating. I normally do a lot of physical activity, but have not been recently. Yet, I am sore in a few spots that only make sense from drinking.
Heard lots of people always talk about drinking to much, and then their liver hurt. Thought it was cause they were always drinking hard alcohol versus the mainly water with 4.2% I was. After this St Patty's day, I had to throw up Sunday night from eating too much "Cowboy Stew" (essentially cooked ground turkey in red gravy). Red gravy itself will make me have to puke if I have to much of it, something about the acid. But, because my dumb ass was also shitfaced, I ended up dry heaving, having to drink water just to throw it back up in 3 minutes. At first I was kind of sore from that on both sides of my stomach. Now it is just the right side.
I know I have drank 20 of the 24 days this month. Took two days off this week, but have noticed that the slight soreness is still kind of there today. Main spot is by my back right hand lat muscle, but on the same side under my rib slightly. I also have a very high pain tolerance. I have broken my hand 4 times and reset it myself 3 times. Never knew it until it bruised and discolored. I also had my wisdom teeth pulled while awake because I do not like anesthesia.
I digress, it makes me nervous it may be worse than I feel. Coming from a family of doctors, and a lot of alcoholics, I think I am going to have to retreat for a bit if I want to live to drink another day. Not tonight obviously, it's Friday. Voodoo Ranger Fruit Force and whatever other beers I have in the house. Get some R&R and then back to it.
Now it makes sense why my family members were fans of coffee and grapefruit juice.
Chairs fuckers!

32 years old. Caucasian. Male. 150lbs. 5"6". Stopped smoke cigarette 5months ago. Stopped coffee totaly 7 months ago. Normal health, no real problem and normal eating habbit, some trash food once in a while otherwise lot of vedgies and etc.
I've been drinking a lot when younger but before covid started I was 3 year sober. Restarted drinking alchool at begin of covid at a 6 beer a day rate, sometimes more in weekends. 3 weeks ago I went to see my doctor to start get sober with help. She prescribed me Ativan for 6 days, and ive been able to get sober for 19 days with it.. no problem, no hallucination or anything. But been without work brought me to fail and restart drinking yesterday.. Im gonna be calling her monday to get a meeting but I'm wondering since I'm gonna be starting a new job next week if it exist something weaker then Ativan that wont get me knocked out for 6 days.. considering I've goes throught the previous one normaly and it will only be 4 days of drinking for that one ? I'm getting stressed cause I don't want to not start the new job cause of having to get Ativan again. Anyone know what alternative would be good to get ?

It was so terribly cold. Snow was falling, and it was almost dark, when out of the blue, my wife called me at work. "We're going to Niagara Falls for the weekend. I got us an awesome deal!"
We had both been working at our first "full-fledged" jobs for a year and had reached that moment after graduation when you suddenly realize you can't make that impact on the world your student enthusiasm once promised. At first, I just sighed. It was the dead of January, and I had already expended all my energy on a week of inconsequential stress. I just wanted to collapse on the couch for two days. Sarah felt a similar weary exhaustion. I could tell. Her tone was more hopeful than excited, but she had dreaded the routine we were sinking into and was trying her best to pull us free.
I looked to the ceiling and adjusted my telephone headset. At that time I was working at Stats Canada on the tele-query desk. I took a deep breath and, as convincingly as possible, said, "Sounds good." I don't think she bought it, but we went nonetheless.
This was Niagara Falls before the casinos when there was a very distinct off-season. When we got to the hotel, we were given the details of our "lovers' special". One dinner to be used either Friday or Saturday, two breakfasts, a roll of tokens for the arcade, 10% off some "4D" movie ride experience, and a 2-for-1 coupon to Max Tussaud's. I guessed it was Madame's nephew? We also got a bottle of sparkling wine in our room and chocolate treats on our pillows. I was impressed. It sounded good.
When we got into our room and saw the "bottle" of wine - basically an aeroplane-sized glass and half - and the chocolates - "fun wrapped" Oh Henry's left over from Halloween - we both started to laugh. The tone for two wonderful days had been set. We decided to cash in on our dinner coupon right away.
The restaurant off the lobby had hopes of being better. There were huge panoramic windows that promised a view of the gorge. Unfortunately, they had some winter moisture problems that day, and it felt like we were defrosting amid the dripping streaks and foggy patches. The decor was your standard booths and tables though the "romantic" lighting was unique. Dollar store battery-powered tea lights were lodged inside thick tumbler glasses and shed a muted pleasantness in a "what a great idea for a craft" sort of way. I had a feeling they were created by our waitress since she was the one who always seemed to be fussing with them. Only one other couple was in the dining room, so she attended to us immediately.
"Can I get you something to start?"
"Sure." "Thank you, that would be nice." We both responded simultaneously.
"And what would the lady like this evening?"
Sarah smiled at the flattery. "I think I'll have a glass of white wine." She glanced over at me to see my reaction. This was a subtle cue of the mood to follow. Diet Coke was usually the beverage of choice. She didn't normally drink alcohol. One glass numbed her nose and made her giggle far too easily. When she did drink, however, it meant she was comfortable with my company and open to anything to follow. I raised my eyebrows in a debonair way.
"And for the gentleman?"
"Do you have Foster's on tap?"
"Yes we do."
"I'll have a pint please."
Sarah smiled at the happy memories I invoked. At university, Foster's was my signature beer. It was at a time when Crocodile Dundee was a known name, and Australia was inexplicably cool. 15 cent buffalo wings and a pitcher of Foster's was the Tuesday night special at the London Arms pub. There the Classics Club would meet and, as a group, circle the wagons and drink ourselves into extroverts.
As soon as the waitress left, Sarah smiled at me. She reached out and held my hand across the table. With my gaze on hers, she slipped her foot from her shoe and slowly began sliding it up my pant leg.
"I got a pedicure this morning." She announced seductively.
I nodded and pretended I didn't notice her invitation. "What colour?" I asked.
"I'm not telling." She teased. "You'll just have to find out later." Her devious little smile was gorgeous.
"Mmmm. I can't wait."
When the waitress returned with our drinks, we immediately retreated to our personal spaces as if we had been discovered by the chaperone. Sarah opened the menu and began to salivate at the variety.
"Can we add an appetizer to the package dinner?" Her question seemed innocent enough.
"You're on the package?" Our friendly waitress disappeared, and we were no longer a lady or a gentleman. She ripped the menu out of Sarah's hand and took mine before I had even opened it. She then scurried to her podium and brought back a tattered, grease-stained, photocopied page that we had to share. We both burst out laughing.
The waitress was flustered that we were not as bothered as she was. "The drinks are NOT included!"
"What choices do we have?" I asked, expecting the usual chicken or fish. I had been on many packages before with my parents.
"Coffee or tea." The waitress snapped.
Sarah and I looked at each other in amused disbelief.
"I'll have coffee please." I didn't even flinch at the ridiculously limited package. I was eager to get my order in early.
"And I'll have the tea!" Sarah followed my lead. "Can I have some milk with that?"
"Yes." The waitress snarled.
"Fantastic!" I enthused.
"Yes, great! I'm glad we got the package, Honey." Sarah joked.
The waitress stormed off and returned sometime later with our lettuce-only salads drowned in Kraft's Italian dressing and our chewy chicken dinners, which she had thoughtfully allowed to cool. She tossed the plates on the table and left us to peacefully devour our deal. We didn't see her again until we requested the bill. For some reason, we found it amusing to leave a generous tip, which of course, defeated the purpose of the package, but we didn't care. It was fun.
The rest of the holiday was marred with similar off-season products and services. The wax museum was only half open, so we couldn't see the pop stars of the seventies. I didn't think it was a problem, but Sarah pouted playfully. She really wanted to see young Bowie. Meanwhile, the arcade was particularly stingy about spitting out coupons. So much so that Mike, the scraggly-haired repair guy, ended up escorting us from game to game and repairing the devices on demand. In no time, he was acting like an old drinking buddy. He joked and laughed, then, out of the blue, revealed that working at the Niagara Falls Fun Centre wasn't his career choice, that his dream was to be part of a travelling carnival. He desperately wanted to see more of the world, he explained and socialize with a greater variety of "wildlife." Mike winked at Sarah to punctuate his meaning, then began advising her on which games to play.
Sarah was partial to Skee ball and clearly had career potential in the sport, but Mike quickly pointed out that the token-to-coupon payout was not the best. In a furtive whisper, he revealed that The Storm Stopper was your best bet, provided the arcade had left it on its original factory settings. He assured us the ones here were "cool." The game had lights that ran around the outside in opposite directions and you had to hit the button at just the right spot to win. It looked impossible, but Mike was right; if you calculated tokens in versus coupons won, it was the best deal. It only took a little practice to win a minor jackpot every 5 or 6 times.
We would cheer each win as if Toronto had won the Stanley Cup. I would give a quick fist pump and a full lung "Yes!" while Sarah would jump up and down screaming, "WhoooHooo!" Of course, in the end, when we cashed in, "Mike's secret" only bumped us up from a key-chain flashlight to a "deluxe" nail beauty set. Mind you, it did come complete with clippers, scissors, a file AND a cuticle scraper. Not only that, it was all neatly packaged in a paisley-patterned pink and green plastic vinyl case. Mike was so pleased to give us our prize and to be honest, we were thrilled to win it if only to see his broad chicletted smile. It was more of a trophy than a grooming set.
That night, I made reservations for us at a fancy Chinese food restaurant - the Bamboo Garden. When we arrived, we had half-expected renovations of some sort. Instead, the place was immaculate. Gentle pools teeming with goldfish highlighted the epic black and red Ming dynasty decor. Real candles flickered on crisp white tablecloths. Again, the restaurant was virtually ours. The reservations on my part were entirely unnecessary. In fact, as soon as we entered, they knew us by name and guided us directly to our table. A live lounge piano caressed the air, its notes danced vaguely around familiar harmonies until finally, as if prompted by our presence, a song emerged immediately accompanied by the velvet voice of oriental karaoke. It was our song remastered

In the dim light of the bar, Jayden nursed a golden pint of beer to his chest, the foam sat an inch thick at the top. He took a long sip, lowered the pint onto the sticky wooden bartop, and then took a glance around. Despite the low light, it was easy for the man to make out the faces of the regulars of this little hole in the wall. Middle-aged men crowded around pool tables, a few with their arm around their Ms'. Some younger faces were all huddled at one of the booths, most sat with soft drinks, all chatting in rowdy, pitchy voices. A trio of women sat a little ways down the bar, drinking wine and gin, all hunched into one another and engaging in some sort of intense discussion. The typical atmosphere. A typical night, but Jayden hadn't yet found the type of person he was looking for...
Until he walked in. And the night truly began.
It was meant to be one night of fun. It would have been. If not for the fact that the next big league game, when Jay was kitted up and warming up by jogging the length of the home pitch, he didn't see the same man walking onto the pitch. In the other teams kit. All of the memories flooded back, and the star striker of the Redmanes was left with just two words: "Oh shit."
Hey! So thanks for reading. Here's my basic prompt:
Jayden, star striker of his team, and your character, of the rival team (ideally I hoped you'd play a goalkeeper or team captain), have hooked up and now realise their mistake. Awkwardness ensues, they're denying their feelings for one another, and if they start to date, feel that they need to hide it from their teammates and/or the public.
Whether they each play soccer professionally or as a hobby, we can choose!
Please be literate, write in third person, and be able to play multiple characters! I'd love to expand the teams a little bit, or have side characters! We can brainstorm more and add sideplots too, as we like! Please be 21 or older!

I’ve always smoked here and there but I would only do it when I STARTED to drink. Now after work I START to smoke and it not only kills my urge to drink but makes me forget that that’s even an option!
And even if I do it’s like 2-3 beers better compared to the 7-9 drinks I’d have. But just thought I’d share my experience :) I know there’s a lot of “trade 1 addiction for another” people but that’s the thing I’m not ADDICTED to weed, I literally can only smoke it after work because it’s a downer for me. For some of y’all idk how you guys function throughout the day blazed out of your mind 😂
But to each their own, thanks for my Ted talk yall I hope every one of y’all have a good night 💤

Was drinking a lot, about a half a bottle of liquor per night. I started tapering with light beer, and I started running. After a couple of runs I didn’t want to drink anymore. I stopped tapering far earlier than I planned to and quit drinking all together.
I’m now 14 days without a drink and no real desire to have one. I’m running as often as I my body will allow me to and all of the triggers that used to cause me to reach for the bottle (anxiety, depression, self loathing) are melted. I always heard that exercise was a great stress reliever but never really bought into that until now. I haven’t felt this good in 10 years.
If you are drinking as much as I was it’s probably a better idea to see a doctor about quitting. I probably should have and am very lucky to have had zero withdrawal symptoms, but I attribute that to the running.
Sorry for the text wall. I just wanted to share since I was a closeted alcoholic (although people probably saw it in my face, I know I did).
Love you guys, IWNDWYT! Also check out running if you are interested!

I decided to see the new John Wick movie late after work today so decided having two energy drinks full of caffeine to keep me up and then a follow up beer during the movie would be a great idea...
During the first action scene each gunshot made my heart rate go faster and faster gave me huge amount of adrenaline that just wouldn't settle, I must have watched the whole thing with my heart racing at 100bpm, immediate acid reflux, sweating, feeling trapped in the cinema gripping my chair for 3 hours.
I'm currently at home in the tub trying to calm down, the movie was awesome though! 10/10 would recommend!

I’m sure someone’s done this before, but I finally caught up on Prog Season 2, so I decided to make my own drinking game out of it. I don’t know how good or bad this is (I haven’t actually play tested it), so it might be too good or overly good.
Finally DRINK RESPONSIBLY. Know your limits, and make sure, if you’re playing this over more than an episode and a half that you occasionally drink water.
P.S. When it says drink, it’s meant to be a beer or something, obviously. If you’re drinking something stronger, please adjust accordingly.
Here are the rules.
Drink when: - A set monster is not destroyed - A banned card is activated (since they can play them at 1) - Gage or Cimoooooooo cheat - Gage or Cimoooooooo set a card after hitting the End Phase button
Drink x2 when: - Gage or Cimoooooooo play the same deck they did in the previous episode - A game is won by a method other than attacking. - Gage or Cimoooooooo play Blackwings - A Redoer Ticket is used
Take a shot when: - Cimoooooooo hits a 3x lose streak - Gage hits 0 Redoer tickets - The judgement appears - Snatch Steal is spun - Wild card: Starlight is spun
Based on what you’ve seen from Prog (either season, though these rules were primarily based on S2), let me know what you think, and what rules you’d personally implement.
I tried to genuinely balance out the drinking, and account for people watching multiple episodes. Hope this is a good drinking game!

Hey all
I’ve fallen off the wagon yet again and had 4 beers last night. I had only had a 2 week sober streak but was feeling the effects of a clearer mind and healthier body.
Unfortunately yesterday after finishing work I decided to meet up with a friend in the city before heading home which unfortunately resulted in me having some beers. I got drunk pretty quickly as I take an SNRI and am not supposed to drink while on this medication. (This seems near impossible).
I like to think I have made a lot of progress in my life as I used to drink a 6 pack every night + more on the weekends. I NEVER drink at home or buy alcohol from a store these days which I am proud of. My downfall is a Friday afternoon trying to get to the train station to go home without being mentally pulled in to one of the many bars on the way.
Feeling pretty crappy today but not hungover so I will make sure to get some exercise and sun in this weekend.
Any tips/advice on how to talk myself out of going in to a bar on Friday afternoon and just getting straight on that damn train sober?
Thanks all!

I need encouragement. My spouse that I care for is so self absorbed. I am still working full time, trying to finish my Masters Degree to ensure I have a financially stable future (when I have to have a life without him)....all while caring for him.
I have a difficult day job, I'm an elementary teacher. I come home exhausted from the pressure of teaching but we need the income and health benefits
He has COPD from years of smoking. He is moping around because he is getting dentures. He has atrocious teeth due to smoking but of course he denies his smoking had anything to do with this.. He also has Parkinson's and he drinks a lot. He hit his head on walls so many times from being drunk, I wouldn't be surprised if that caused some of his Parkinson's problems...
A few days ago I came down with the flu - I had the flu shot in September but I am always run down. I work 5 days a week, do all the chores, and I am also in grad school so sometimes my body just forces me to slow down. I told him I was really tired and he could be not give two shits. I don't even think he believes me when I say I am tired. All he does is play video games and eat/sleep.
When I went to the walk in clinic I tested positive for flu and also tested positive for an an acute UtI with blood. I didn't even know I had it. I was so sick and am getting over it alowly. Still even with two simultaneous illnesses my husband could give a rats ass. That's the most depressing part. The lack of concern.
The MOST Depressing thing is that my husband whom I care for could barely do a thing for me. I slept in another room so he wouldn't get it but sometimes it is so depressing. I feel like he could have acted more compassionate but he is so self absorbed. Could he have ordered me some soup or had something delivered since he can't cook? He certainly got his beer delivered? Could he load some dishes or do minor chores since I'm literally laid up and I can't do anything. Nope he still sits on his tail playing video games.
Sometimes the caregiver needs someone to care. It is so sad, I feel alone and sad that nobody cares for the caregiver. I take medicine for depression and the doctor gave me something along with the tamiflu that is an antihistamine but also has some calming side effects. I am so depressed. I just want someone to encourage me. I am 53 and so lonely.
Does my husband only want me better so I can do stuff for him? He is buying a cruise for us in a June but for me it will be a lot ot of work pushing him around in a wheelchair worrying constantly about his oxygen and all his meds. Not a vacation for me, more work.
What really hurts when I get sick is that my partner can't stand or acknowledge that I am sick. If he can't be the center of attention.......Could I ever be the sick one that needs tender loving care? My husband didn't wash one dish the past few days, he hasn't lifted a finger to help me as I struggled with Influenz A - high temp, miserable pains and fatigue. He. has. done. nothing.
He had some teeth removed and all he could think about was himself. He ordered beer delivery and asked me to go get him pudding. I'm like trying to tell him I have the flu. Maybe if I died he would realize I'm telling the truth that I'm tired.
I am literally so sad. I feel so alone. I feel nobody cares and I just needed a little TLC ....I am so depressed.
My husband was in the hospital for 3 weeks in January. I went to the hospital every day and took him treats like ice cream and little meals when he was tired of the hospital food.
Do you think he lifted a finger for me the past few days as I languished on the couch sick as I could be. Nah no little feel good things for me- nothing.
So sad

Joseph loves the agricultural life, but he is the second son, and his father’s vineyard will be inherited by his brother Donat, the firstborn. He yearns for a job growing grapes and for an opportunity to marry Teresa Gallego. In Madrid, an assassination plot, conceived against the political leader of Spain by men of wealth and power, creates a storm of intrigue that sucks into its vortex a group of innocent young farm workers in Santa Eulália. How Josep’s life is changed drastically by these events, and how, ironically, they gradually turn him into an inspired vintner with an evolving vision of life, is the fascinating story of "The Winemaker". During the Book Club, enjoy four fantastic Spanish wines to taste. Chef Bryan will create a pairing board of house–made Spanish tapas, cheese and charcuterie to accompany the tasting.

Have a great weekend and thanks for reading!

I know tons of drinking isn't good on Zoloft, but would the 0.5% found in most non-alcoholic beers also be an issue?

I recall it took place at Moe's and Barney said something along the lines of, "You won't even have one beer with your pals." It was something about trying to guilt homer into drinking beers, and I believe Homer does drink some beers.

Hello,
Heading to Copacabana Beach next month mid April. Thursday afternoon to Sunday.
How much Brazilian Real currency should I bring? My hotel provides breakfast buffet and I just need 1 big meal for the day and maybe a few beers.
What is average price per meal?
What is the best thing to do on Sunday? I have to checkout at 12pm and have to carry backpack with laptop.
I saw a wide range of prices for Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf mountain. Also, I can take Ubers right to entrance?
​
Here is my tentative schedule:
Thursday: arrive airport 3pm - head to hotel, grab a few sports drinks, grab dinner
Friday: Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf mountain, massage, 3pm cruise on water
Saturday: open - beach, massage, nice lunch
Sunday: open (flight leaves at 7pm)
