how often do you guys drink? are you alcoholics? what makes you an alcoholic. i drink 6-8 beers 5 times a week. am i an alcoholic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes. I'm not anymore. |
||||||||

im an alcoholic. i quit in december. i went through an outpatient program. the only person that can tell you if you are an alcoholic is yourself. |

You are not an alcoholic as long as you can afford it. |

I went to AA for a while and it only made me worse. The best thing I ever read though, related to the subject, was I believe an interview with William Burrough's son. And I think he'd been an alcoholic and what he said was what I always used to say, that if you think you've not yet hit the bottom then you're still ok, that you can carry on at least "a bit longer". But as he says, that's the addicts' verion of putting the alarm on "snooze", that the only bottom, as such, is being on the receiving end of an autopsy. It dodn't stop me from drinking but it did stop me from saying "Well, I haven't yet reached the bottom", which I consider to be some progress. |

I think they biggest reason for you to stop is your son. You want to be around for him when he's growing up, which you're risking by drinking so much. If you have an alcoholic parent you're far more likely to develop a drug disorder or have alcohol problems yourself. I'm not trying to be a dickhead Dan, I just think it's really important to understand how you can change things for the better if you change your drinking patterns now, while he's still young. |

another drink topic? i just drink socially, so mainly when out with friends on weekends... and only in moderation, enough to get me tipsy. I hate getting drunk, I hate losing control of myself and I hate hangovers. I have pretty much grown out of it now (i'm 29). Drinking at home on your own is completely pointless imo. |

I'm drinking at home on my own right now, watching the one shows. Thanks for your judgement. |

I can't get drunk anymore either, I just drink to calm my nerves. And yes since beer is my choice I have put on weight. 30lbs to be exact. I remember trying to get drunk, to feel stupid like that again, and it just didn't come, all that happened was me getting sick and having a hangover. My brain sucks. |

No, you're right, I'm not very proud about, all this. |

I'm sorry sweets, it wasn't really my place to say, you didn't ask for my opinion. I just think you're an incredible guy, and know you love your son more than anything. I'd hate to see all that go to waste when it's within your control to change it.x |

yeah look im just some chippy little brit cunt and you dont need any advice cos youre well clever, but my dad was a really a cool intelligent guy but he drank/cried and called me things a lot, i still cant find it in me to feel anything for him which dosnt make sense cos i know hes good ect ect. its just not there. and i still remember when i was 5/6 the moment i decided he simply wasnt a part of me; he just had that pissed swollen wanker look on his face watching the telly. anyway blah blah im just saying its the subtle things about alchy dad that sells a kid short. i should just shutup, carry on. im talking to myself more than you. yes im a little bit drunk |

i dont drink a massive amount, but will have a glass of wine every day and get really pissed once a week. never drink on my own tho, i think if u drink alone alarm bells shud start ringing. especially if its whisky / brandy. |

Thie explains why you're such a cunt. I guess it's called cause & effect. |

I stopped drinking heavily when my kidneys started aching and my skin went sickly pallid. I think it was when my sister mentioned that I looked like I was dying that I realized I was drinking too much. |
