Lets Play Alcoholism Roulette

13th September 2011 By bill

Alcoholism Roulette

Alcoholism Roulette Rules.

The player starts with a gun and a box of “Rock Bottom” amunition. The rock bottom bullets are varied and include experiences such as damaged clothes, bans from local pubs, domestic violence, drink drive, liver problems, workplace disciplinary, unplanned children, education failure, mental health issues, sexual health issues, cuts and brusis, blackouts, public humiliation, vomiting etc. There are 6 collections of rock bottom bullets increasing in severtiy and power. The final box includes homelessness, prision, death, wet brain, refusal of liver transplant etc.

Players are randomly selected from society and made to play with or without their permission or choice.

  1. You join the game with 1 Rock Bottom Bullet in the gun.
  2. All the time you are drinking, then the barrel is spinning and stopping untill you hit a bullet
  3. The Rock Botttom Bullet is normaly selected from the first box, but not always. It is possible to have death as the first spin, but unlikely.
  4. You join the game with 1 Rock Bottom Bullet in the gun.

    So, pick up your alcoholism revolver and as you will have seen on the movies you place one bullet in the gun, close the chamber and spin the barrel. Where it lands, nobody knows.  (Step 1, We admitted we are powerless over alcoholism,)

    Early alcoholism can be identified as “You do not get into trouble every time you drink but every time you have been in trouble you have been drinking”

    The back to the alcoholism revolver. Just keep spinning the barrel pulling the trigger, spinning the barrel pulling the trigger. And then all of a sudden the gun fires.
    The real-life this means may be you have just been pulled over for drink-driving. Maybe your spouse or partner has just walked out on you due to the alcohol induced behaviour.
    But hey, it won’t happen again will it but remember if you have alcoholism did really well. But also, if you have alcoholism you certainly have denial, repression and minimisation of the event. You will already have alibi the leaving of the partner something to do with their behaviour.

    Let’s pick up the alcoholism revolver again and its place to bullets the Chambers leaving for empty once. Just keep spinning the barrel pulling the trigger spinning the barrel pulling the trigger. Slightly quicker this time assaults demanded it will be the gun fires.
