Today, I went to the grocery store to stock up on booze for the weekend. After the cashier commented on the size my purchase, I claimed to be hosting a dinner party tonight. I'm not. FML
I agree, your life sucks (3690) - you totally deserved it (17543)

(0)Haha, invite me over?? I don't see the problem here, the cashier was probably just a stuck-up bitch.

(0)a lot of ppl suffer from alcoholism. it really is a FML b/c u become addicted. u need it every day, every night. it's become a part of your life. this is the only FML I agree with. i sympathize. it runs in my family.

(+2)OP, if you read this, please get help, and please follow through with that help. Get yourself committed if necessary. I've seen how alcoholism can tear apart a family, because one of my relatives is so much of an alcoholic that she'll go for things such as mouthwash, cooking extracts, and even rubbing alcohol. She nearly died a few months ago by poisoning herself and ultimately drinking herself into a coma, complete with liver failure and renal (kidney) failure.
Please, please get help.

(0)I can't even begin to describe how much I along with many other people would not want to socialize with you.

(-1)I can't believe the number of prudes that reply to anything involving drinking. Most teens and young adults get wasted at least a few times... maybe even more often than a few times. It's what people do. The OP doesn't state "I do this every weekend" so I see no problem, yet everyone jumps to "get help!!" without any information besides that the OP is - oh my GOD - drinking. For all we know, the first time.
(+1)Except that the OP is the one saying, Hey everyone, here's a story that illustrates how my life is F-ed up. Also, I think part of the OP's point is that she's showing one of the well-known signs of problem drinking: lying about drinking. Doesn't necessarily mean that she does have a problem, but if you do drink (as I do, too), you're not wise to ignore doing them.

(0)Yatta, the OP's comment alone gives about a 25% chance of becoming an alcoholic. If we had the rest of the CAGE history I'm betting it'd be even higher.

(0)At least you buy junk to drink at your house and not go to bars where you'd potentially make an ass of yourself.
My sister is both an alcoholic and extremely obnnoxious and touchy-feely, etc (more than usual) when drunk, to the point that people have given her money for cab fares just to make her leave.

(+1)I think everybody is saying "get help" bcuz usually for the cashier to comment on something it is bcuz u r buying a LOT so if the OP is drinking that much alone there is a drinking problem or a big red flag for alcohol poisoning which in the case of happening being alone u can die
(0)To alcohol, the cause of and solution to all of lifes problems. Cheers! Now where did I put my pants...oh, they're in that tree over there. That gives me an idea, a tree that grows pants, PATENT PENDING!
(+1)after watching one of my best friends have a grand mal seizure from kidney failure, I'm gonna say now- find someone now, OP- before it's too late! there are many many others like you, and you'll find a bond with them like no other!
(-1)Keep going, I drink so much my piss smells of vodka but i still hold down a job and stuff, it's easy. Flinga, if your friend drank themselves to death that fine with me but don't preach to others when you don't even know them and their own backstory, everyone is different.

(0)Your an alcoholic lier. you should have invited her to the party anyways. if she was cute or if not you can drink until she's hot.

(0)We don't necessarily know if the OP has a drinking problem, but if he does then help is certainly needed.
But, perhaps, he was just in for a good night, in which case go for it.

(0)Well if it's a habit for you to do this, go to AA and get help. If it's a once in awhile, get fucked up with your friends deal, have fun., live it up!
#33 - On 12/05/2009 at 8:55am by Starfire22
(0)You should start practicing your introduction for the next AA meeting

(0)uhm, im getting so sick of fml, this is't even a real one? if your life is so terrible because you had to lie to a cashier, your life must be pretty damn skippy. god, how anoying.
(0)Well, it's not like either action was necessarily wrong in and of itself, but if you're that embarrassed about lying, then YDI. There are many things "worse" than booze, but suffering a slight to your ego because of your own misgivings is beyond inane. This isn't even FML-worthy. Give me a break....

(+1)Well, at least the cashier was polite enough to not assume you're an alcoholic. And kudos for living in denial of your problem by lying about it. Yes, your life sucks, but you can do something about it.
(-1)youre not an alcoholic, alcoholics go to meetings. invite me over next time, ill help you out with all that alcohol.

(0)Go to AA? Actually, my uncle just died of liver failure after 30+ years of EXTREME alcoholism, so this is a big YDI for me; BUT you can still fix it and get some help and not head down that road.
(0)i know alot of heavy drinkers and their lives are definitely not F-ed... yet
#48 - On 12/05/2009 at 4:15pm by nameexists
(0)post a real story bitch nothing there is bad sad or embarrassing at all FML for reading that shit
#49 - On 12/05/2009 at 4:56pm by BunnyDrastic
(0)You obviously have a problem, OP. Quit drinking or soon you'll have a real reason to post an FML.
#52 - On 12/05/2009 at 6:36pm by Emperor_Jim
(0)As soon as I read the first sentence, it was an automatic YDI.
#53 - On 12/05/2009 at 6:44pm by JukeboxBunny
(0)The cashier makes fun of my buyer a lot, I find it hillarious.
#54 - On 12/05/2009 at 7:39pm by jane99
(0)Who cares what the cashier thinks? You're the paying customer, you have the right to buy whatever you want.
#58 - On 12/06/2009 at 12:08am by a_c_M_2010
(0)stop being a little bitch, get over it, and don't post such a pathetic fml, or just stop drinking and get life.
#60 - On 12/06/2009 at 7:25pm by Tonys_kitten6
(0)FYL for lieing, but really, why say you're at a dinner party? just be honest and say "I'm a tank when it comes to drinking" =D
#62 - On 12/07/2009 at 8:44pm by jebusandme
(0)I suppose the cashiers have to strike up personal conversations to make themselves feel like they are friendly. Most of the time they broadcast their ignorance. Cheers. (don't drink and drive.)
(0)Oh the splendors of alcoholism! its ok we've all been there look up a local AA meeting if your unhappy with or lying about your drinking... just a suggestion XP
