Functinal Alcoholics

I'm a nurse and am slowly coming to the realization that I might be a functional alcoholic... Are you one?

So my questions are this; are you a functional alcoholic, and if so is it necessarily a bad thing? It seems to help me get through week to week. It's also easier then having to feel feelings. It also makes awful Panther loses a lot easier to handle. I know at the Vikings game I spent a god-awful amount on beer at the stadium and later at the bar on liquor to forget that loss!

So what say you huddle?

Edited to say that the error in spelling in the thread title was due to me being an alcoholic

What and how much do you consume on a day to day basis?

A good rule to go by is: anything under a fifth of liquor and 8 joints a day, you don't really have a problem yet.

But if it's 9 joints, you might want to talk with someone.

I've known a few....they never got hammered per se, just kept slowly drinking all day keeping a buzz and going on. One of my parents best friends was one for about 30 years. He drove a flower truck all day and would hit the ABC store in the morning and nurse a sprite and gin drink all day. Never got a DUI in 30 years amazingly.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
