If I had to pick a kind of hellish torment, it would probably have been this. I barely know how to live without lying about it.

I'll be drunk until whatever this is ends.

	And here I was thinking I was the only one determined to avoid this. I haven't stopped lying since it became a survival tactic. Case in point, TMI. I'll be at the opposite end of the bar so no one gets chatty. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's starting to get uncomfortable to not say anything, which is probably part of whatever screwed up magic compulsion it is in the first place. Come sit with me and be honest for a while and we'll see if we can get it out of our system and vow to never speak of it. Mutually assured destruction for liars. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Confronting truth magic or whatever this is is also probably a lot easier when you haven't spent 90% of your life as a mostly despicable person. Fine. It's better than pouring it out on someone else. As long as the alcohol keeps coming. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm a spy, most of my life has been lies and a lot of it pretty despicable. I like to think I'm honest now, but one truth whammy and it gets really clear just how much of a stretch that one is. My ex-husband and current undefined runs the place, we're set. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Limited experience with alcohol, long time watcher, first time poster; but is getting drunk really the best way to prevent talking? I have books if you want to borrow some and just hide somewhere until this whole truth thing blows over. I totally hear you on the pains of not being able to lie. Kind of nice in one sense, absolute nightmare in the other. I'm really sorry it's such an uncomfortable thing for you.

	Generally it's the opposite. Unless you plan on getting blackout drunk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So, by limited, what I really meant is like, I've held alcoholic beverage containers and smelled it. The effects of ingesting it are something I understand from a purely academic understanding. On that same note, blackout drunk generally considered very bad for ones health and not something I think it would be good to advise to avoid truth telling shenanigans.

	Probably all for the better. Alcohol turns into a pretty persistent way of coping for most adults if things get bad enough. And it's not healthy. But it shuts the world out for awhile. And sometimes, that's worth the risk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Is it? A lot of adults seem to really enjoy alcohol, at least for its relaxing benefits. It also has a wide variety of health benefits, at least in moderation and assuming we're talking about wine. From my understanding it's a pretty terrible way to way to cope though, just a long road to a lot of headaches and getting sick.

...Yeah. I could see the appeal of that sometimes.

	On the plus side, there's some interesting ways this could be taken advantage of. (Reply to this)
