Advice please. It feels like alcohol fills in the gaps of loneliness and the general shittyness of working at Google. I’ve been averaging 4+ beers per night since joining G a few years ago. I never had this problem working at startups even when averaging 70 hours / week.
Go outside and interact with people? Play basketball at the park? Salsa lessons? Sounds like you are lonely and need social interaction.
I have a lot of friends, play soccer in a regular group and have run a few marathons with a running team. idk man, I still feel compelled to drink.
Man that sounds terrible. Sorry to hear that. I reread your post. It’s been a couple years, find a therapist. counseling could help. No shame in talking to someone I did once, for other reasons. Are you burned out? If so take an extended vacation. Minimum 2 weeks.

Start doing Jiu Jitsu or other martial art
Lol what's so bad about working at G?
Drink wine every night. Be a sommelier;)
Get professional help..read therapist…virtual if it’s easier. No shame in that and you don’t owe anyone an answer as to why. Burnout in IT is real and it’s not pretty. Take it serious and take action. GTFO of your group or G if that’s what it takes. Tons of other jobs out there. DM me if you need direction.

Lack of knowledge. I alway say that 99% people went school to study how earn money. Man education means you study about thing related to you . Read what is alcohol. How it impact. Simple :). Read why you eat food. And why is exercise. You are illiterate person but earns good money.
Dude what?
OP - This what happens when you drink too much. You end up speaking like this Microsoft guy.
4 beers a night is a normal day.
