    I already strunk to the border once, so I don’t see why this would be any more dangerous.

  2. KinkyTom says:

    I hope the meant drink because I think I could prove that sign wrong :P

  3. Atilla says:

    The word “geziyolu” is Turkish, so am I but still no idea what that sign means. “Geziyolu” is something like “tour path”.

  4. Ginger Snape says:

    Tell me how to strink and I’ll do it! I LOVE living dangerously*plays with loaded revolver*

  5. Heather says:

    Yes! I’ve been here. It’s at a waterfall in Turkey. I believe the conclusion of the group I was with is that one out not swim, stray, or drink from the falls.

  6. dr handle says:

    …and this is why, people, this is why I’m always faffing on about Using Protection; strinking is DANGEROUS, so don’t forget your tinfoil hat.

  7. lexan D says:

    Strink. A good description of when I get overly tired and find it hard to think and string thoughts together.

  8. dr handle says:

    It’s a Meaning of Liff moment! What is the meaning of “strink”?

    - strink (v.i.) to run an object, such as a stick, along the palings of a fence, in order to make a noise. “The schoolchildren drive me insane with their incessant strinking every morning”.

    - strink (v.t.) to attempt to save a drink from spillage whilst stumbling and trying not to fall over, but in the end to fail on either count “He’s strinked his last two beers, I think he’s had enough.”

  9. bluejade says:

    I think it means stinking and drinking at the same time.

    • Droll not Troll says:

      You mean getting stinking drunk?

      • JohnB says:

        Or it could define the point in alcoholism when imbibing stopped being pleasureable, and so drinking stunk.

      • bluejade says:

        I think it’s a drinking person that smells awful. That happens, you know.

        • JohnB says:

          Oh, yes. I saw many, many alcoholics in my practice, before and after I became one, not to mention at meetings and in personal life. There are varying smells of the alcohol itself, over time and metabolism, not to mention the varying smells associated with hygiene or lack thereof, and the confounding smells of tobacco and/or marijuana. When I was a practicing drunk, I took a shower almost every chance I got (when I could stand long enough), poured on fountains of aftershave, and sucked breath mints and cough drops constantly, but people with sensitive noses weren’t fooled anyway.

          • bluejade says:

            At least you were making an effort!

            • JohnB says:

              Yes, I worked very hard at being a drunk. It’s not as easy as it looks!

              • bluejade says:

                I have a wino friend, he’s working very, very hard… at dying young. I give him another three years, maybe. I know a fair number of winos, but he’s the only one I would remotely consider a friend, and he’s bearable only in small doses.
                Also, he’s recycled an amazing number of cans and bottles over the years. It is absolutely astounding how much trash he and his brethren have sent back into the system.

                • JohnB says:

                  For a good part of my drinking career, I concealed a lot of my drinking from everyone, even my wife. The empties became a significant problem. I never forgot, no matter how snockered I got, where I hid the full bottles; but where I hid the empties sometimes got lost from my mind. They sometimes got found, which put a serious crimp in my stealth. But I got really good at hiding. Even when I finally gave it up, I still had a full bottle hidden in the house that my wife had never found. Early in sobriety I kept it there, which signified to me that I could get a drink any time I wanted, if I was home, but I wasn’t going to. But yes, it is a way of life that seriously compromises one’s longevity and health. I quit at age 36; there is no doubt in my mind that if I had not stopped I’d be long dead by now. Heavy drinking is toxic to almost every system in the body. I had a dear friend who had 10 years’ sobriety when I was fairly new, but he had already done such grievous harm to his cardiovascular system that he died of strokes at about my age. A little known fact, for example, is that large doses of alcohol tend to push LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides way up, contributing to premature atherosclerosis. When I hit a treatment center in 1987, my total cholesterol was 320, which is very bad. After one month in treatment, where I ate a lot more than usual and got almost no exercise, but didn’t drink, it was down to 220. People know heavy drinking kills the liver, but they usually don’t know that it also destroys the pancreas, stomach, heart, blood vessels, nervous system, eyes, etc.

                    Wow. Usually I don’t read your long rambles, but this time I am glad I did! That was a very nice story. I am glad you stopped drinking, or else you wouldn’t be around to tell other people to stop drinking……. Wait… Is that a paradox? Shoot. Anyways, you know what I meant!

                    • JohnB says:

                      Thanks for the compliment. I know I can go on and on about some things, and sometimes it’s just a random set of observations that spew out of me when I’m fried, but I have had 56 years in which I have mostly kept my eyes open, and have had a very wide range of experiences, both in my personal and professional lives, that have taught me a lot, so sometimes I do really have something to say, and I don’t say that from ego, just from that deep well within me that has so much within it. Anyone who wants to read more of my metaphysical, spiritual, or recovery-oriented writings, check out my posts on Beliefnet, where I am known as RevJohn. You’ll find me mostly on the New Thought and Addiction/Recovery forums. (And no, I’m not selling anything except perhaps my ideas, and those are offered absolutely free of charge.)

          • jinxed says:

            The only effective effort would be quiting altogether.

            • JohnB says:

              Yes, and thanks to the grace of God and the assistance of many good people, I haven’t had a drink (or other intoxicating substance) since June 3, 1989.

              • ShadowSplicer says:

                What ’bout the interweb alcohol I serve you? Does that count?

                • JohnB says:

                  No more than the drinking and drugging I still do in my dreams sometimes.

                  • bluejade says:

                    Hey, you do that? For awhile after I quit smoking, sometimes I would dream I was smoking! It was so realistic, when I woke up I would think I’d had a cigarette.

                    • JohnB says:

                      If I get drunk in dreams, I can wake up with a hangover. No kidding. Sometimes I wake up in the morning feeling like I’ve got a bad hangover, but I don’t remember drinking in my dreams. I finally figured out that I probably did get drunk in my sleep, but had a blackout!

    I’m not as thrunk as you stink I am.
