I am just really troubled of not being able to do what I like. Of being expected to do things just because I was good in studies at school. I am tired of sitting on my desk all day and waiting for the weekend to get drunk. Tired of the pressure to be high performing everyday and not being able to go back home cause of the ridicule that I would face from parents. I don’t see any meaning for 90 percent of the people out there
Struggling to find any meaning in life. Don’t want to go on

Try quitting. Save up some money. Travel the world. Get back with experiences.
Quitting alcohol? I have already traveled a lot. Unfortunately I have been reduced to being a lowly corporate shill after uni. My parents sent me to a different country and now that I am back I have to interact with data entry and ppt robots who are creeps mostly

Quit the job after saving up enough. Quit drinking right now. Convert to Islam. Go on a Hajj. Then, join a local mosque. After that, try to get a menial job at this mosque. The Imam will tell you what to do next.

Not trying to sound like a preacher, but...
You are looking for meaning in the wrong places. Alcohol, pleasure, etc won't give you that. They won't give you true happiness either.Bro the main problem here is the robot like modern day corporate life.
Getting a better job, with better money, better alcohol and hotter women won't make you happier.

Have you thought about changing your life? Quitting the job you hate and doing something you want to do?
You are in control of your life, not your parents. What you have now is a product of being so weak that you let them dictate how you live. Maybe grow a pair?

Life is meaningless in a sense, yeah. But you have lots of options to spend your time in an enjoyable, useful, and/or meaningful way, especially if you are an intelligent/productive person (which you sound like). For example, you could work towards finding a job that is aligned with what you care about in the world. If you don't know what you care about, you can spend time reading philosophy and exploring the world to figure it out. You could also work on your mental health. If everything still seems meaningless, you could work towards understanding and developing some kind of pessimistic philosophy. You could meditate, go really deep. You could find a sport or other hobby you enjoy and really master it, become one of the best in the world.

Happiness does not come from a living a life of the mind, it comes from living a life of action and of doing. Never getting out of your head is a recipe for permanent depression.
Lift. Build. Create. Fall in love. Raise children. Volunteer. Help others. Worship. These are the ingredients for a meaningful life.
