If you were to drink at home, "alone", how much would you consider to be a "safe" amount? (safe from starting you down the slide to alcoholism) A remark from a guy who's living with us at the moment kind of startled me. He's a hardcore drinker who gets absolutely polluted when he goes out, but after a few weeks of living with us, he inquired as to how many cans i have a night, to which i replied "between six and eight." he met my reply with a look of surprised concern and a half-hearted laugh and it got me thinking.. AM I SICK? perhaps even sick as a dog? |

I have about the same, don't know what level of alcoholism that is, "TWATTY" probably. |

think that Drugas,or alcohol or smoking...same as the food we eat are necessary,are tools for our life,we msut take it! to take things starts a cause in our body,and got effect. we choose how to feel,like choose what to take...and then we still feel with this thing.Alcohol,beers,whiskey or whatevea thing. think if we feel inspired or alive or with good intetions motivations,this is good and help us to grow. dont care is is sex or drugs,or talk with somebody.is up. but,think if you only can get this state of mind satisfacyng with the things,like drugs,TV or sex...whatever Addiction.. then is wreck!!! *cos at same time,you start feel bored-and starts the fight! and fighting we bored and kill the inspiartion and motivation to be.and to make...bla,vla... never is late to be what we are,and do what we want,and fuck everybody if is right!!!!! *thanks Martini Rosso for and Malboro inspiration. |

Alcoholism has nothing to do with amount,its being dependent on a drink everyday. even if its just 1 can/glass whatever. im normally a 2 can a night man(stella) ive stopped drinking during the week,but only because im getting a right fat bastard. |

Your posts actually make more and more sense the later it gets. Cheers. |

"thanks,but understand.. this things are when you drink alone. ....welcome,new day*" Falito; on drinking alone whoa, i can only begin to comprehend the huge depth and complex meanings behind Falito's mighty words |

one man's opinion doesn't make you an alcoholic, i think.....and what hanal said about the frequency of drinking. is drinking "online"/at xlt/slsk also drinking alone ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my problem is drinking with people...getting drunk...then not wanting to be drunk and taking prescription amphetamines when i get home |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I think drinking that many regularly on your on own is a bit odd, it must be quite expensive and im sure you could find someone to join you. Id prefer to have one or two at the pub than stay in and drink a whole box |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is drinking "online"/at xlt/slsk also drinking alone ? excellent question.. nevertheless, I drink alone alot. People think it's sad and depressing. Why should it be that only social butterflies get to enjoy alcohol?.. in a shallow, oversexed, 'random', fratboy atmosphere no less? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
um. no its fine. or is it i dunno, currently hungover |
||||||||

6 to 8 cans every night? Haha, your life must suck. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
6 to 8 a night? sounds a bit much to be honest, but what the fuck do i know.. i'm the kind a guy that lives with you.. not to big a fan of alcohol really, but when i drink i usually get really pissed, and i always have a hard day after. i'm not made for alcohol abuse. a glass of red wine or two a day i don't see as a problem.. anyway, i will go out to get crunk tonight. hitting the clubs of oslo. and as usual i will hate myself tomorrow. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
sounds a bit much to me too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well 6 to 8 cans a night does prrobably make you an alcoholic, technically. but no morre than anyone else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
more than people who drink less, surely |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope, not even morre than them. |

obi, dannn, uviol.. yes, well it's not quite "alone".. it's just not out on a night. usually i would drink all of that while watching a movie or the sopranos, while xlting and chatting to people online, and more often than not, in the livingroom with the 3 other lads i live with. so it's not quite alone, but it's every night and it's not for any special occasion or anything. i figure it might be because i've tried to cut down smoking, and if i drink then i HAVE to smoke, so therefore i'll definitely drink every night.. although i was doing so before i cut down on the fags. anyway.. thanks for your replies.. i'll take it all into consideration |

6 to 8 may not be a lot depending on the timeframe... How long does it take to drink them? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
whats with the angst of drinking alone and how is it any worse than drinking with others.? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
start at 9 finish at 1 usually |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
usually 9 oz. liquor or 36 oz. beer in about half an hour usually or an hour. |
||||||||
|
|

i think you drink way to much i only drink on the weekends and can see it as a problem sometimes.mayby you should also try stick to weekends |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's to much. Seriously man. 1-3 beers would have been acceptable. It's "normal" for a Charles Bukowski book. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
too much alcohol is shit. its like killing the entire point of drinking in the first place. met this really cute bird last night but when i was confronted with the possibility of going back to her place, i was so incredibly drunk that i had to go home and sleep instead. this happens every time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm is it only me but getting a hard on when drunk is imposible for me. is it the same case for you ? |

well i seem to have no interest in sex at all when i'm drunk.. this only applies when i'm single though. when i have a girlfriend it doesnt matter if i'm sober or drunk i'm up for secks 24-7. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I had to have two cans to get me through this thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If I'm alone, I rarely drink more than a glass of whiskey or two.. not every night either, mind you... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah the problem with aclohol is then when you have started you cant stop at least for me at that particular day |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
alone I never get through more than 4 beers, if im just chilling out I'd rather have a couple of bifters and fall asleep |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
bifters |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, even half a glass is enough to set the ball rolling. once the taste is in there, you just want to have a fair few more, until you're satisfactorily pissed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i drink a bottle of wine on my own, watching movies, listening to music, playing computer games. getting pissed alone is no problem for me, is all good. not every night though. whenever. |

Aengus, you're concerned about not being able to sleep and put it down to getting into a bad routine. I do agree that it is definitely one of the causes of your problems, but I don't think that all the alcohol, fags, drugs etc are helping. I think the best thing you can do is try and cut everything right down, like you're doing with the smokes. It's not doing your body any favours and is almost definitely adding to the sleeping problem. When I go out and get slaughtered, I can go to bed at like 4 am and end up waking up at 7 or 8. Drinking really fucks up my sleeping pattern and I'm sure drinking that much is having a similar effect on you to some extent. http://www.bbc.co.uk/threecounties/content/articles/2005/01 /05/think_drink_alcohol_quiz_feature.shtml I came across this website and I'm quite aware that there are only a few questions but I guess it gives you the general answer to your question, cinsidering your answers are often scoring the highest marks. To me, the problem isn't that you're drinking alone, it's just the fact that you're drinking so much and I honestly think it's having an effect on you. Waking up at 3 or 4 pm most days isn't normal and it would be worthwhile cutting down on the drink to see if it helped. You're trying to give up smoking because you're worried about getting cancer. It's therefore ridiculous to carry on drinking so much as it's also a huge cause of liver and stomach cancer as well as heart attacks. Drinking more than 60 grams of alcohol a day, which is equivalent to four to five glasses of wine, was associated with a high risk of developing liver cancer in a recent investigation. At the end of the day, if you're worrying about it. It's time to cut down.xx |

Waking up at 3 or 4 pm most days isn't normal Isn't it? Searrch the MB, people who sleep thrrough and get theirr solid 7 hourrs arre the rrarre ones. I mean I don't know you redrum, but you don't appearr fucked up as farr as I can tell. You'rre what 20? To me you sound about as norrmal as you can get. Don't listen to people like Sophie (I'm sorrrry, I'm not being awful to you), becasue it's a load of rrubbish. |

You'd have a point if he wasn't worried about his health or his sleeping problems, but he is. cf his topic about it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, someone else exprressed concerrn. People telling you you'rre fucked up (when you'rre not) is a grreat way to fuck you up. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
the only problem I see with if I were to sleep until 3-4 every day, is that I'd miss out on a lot... |
||||||||
|
|

No, he is concerned about his health, which is shown by the fact that he is trying to give up smoking. That's because he got bronchitis and his lungs are painful, it's not because anyone else has said anything. He is also concerned about the fact that he can't sleep or wake up in the mornings, which is why he visited the doctor. Not because anyone else told him he had a problem. I'm not telling him he's fucked up. He has expressed concern about his health, including the possibility of drinking too much, and I am giving him my point of view, which is that if he wants to sleep better and improve his health then he could try and cut down on the alcohol. |

people should stop trying to give up smoking and just quit right away.. I don't care what you say, it isn't as hard as you make it out to be. just stop. |

I can imagine it's very difficult going from a 20 a day habit straight to nothing. It's just like, part of their lives. It's not as easy as you'd think, I'm sure :) I'd say getting it down to even 2 a day, is pretty good going! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
on the contrary. I say it isn't as hard as smokers think; they just need to have some sort of excuse (often only to themselves) why they really don't want to quit smoking. here's how you quit smoking 1: never smoke again the end. |
