How much different are Alcoholics who drink just Beer or both.

Can't blame the messenger. Alcohol affects people different ways.

If alcohol and bookies vanished tomorrow.... would you still be an alcoholic or have a gambling problem??

people drink and gamble to cover up other "flaws" they have...

There is really no such thing as an "alcoholic" or "problem gambler"... Some people just have no control no matter what they do...

I still think hard liquor guys are more apt to have drinking problems

If mental toughness means posting on SBR after having 2 wine-coolers then you're the new Mike Tyson.

I was a young alcoholic I guess...took me just til a few months ago to realize that it was going to ruin my life...It did at times. Nothing is better waking up clear headed and in a safe place. Now I only drink on certain occasions. Love every minute of it...I could've very easily let it control my life, but I am too strong to let it now. Moderation is everything, like the profit said. If you are going to go wild just gotta make sure you try to remain safe and under control...haha which is definitely easier said than done.

I used to drink a lot. I could see that I could have easily been an alcoholic. It was controlling my life in a sense. I dont see if I had just been a beer drinker that it could have been that bad but I guess everyone is different.

I was a heavy whiskey drinker, then became a heavy vodka drinker which is worse because then you start putting vodka in every goddamn think you drink because it mixes. Then I just became a heavy drinker it didnt make a fuk what it was. I had to stop. I was out of control.

Ive never been a big drug user, rarely smoke pot, can count the times Ive snorted coke without taking my shoes off, but I love alcohol. I stopped cold turkey and didnt drink a drop for 9 months, not even a beer.

I then started drinking a beer or two but didnt drink any liquor for 2 years. Now when I drink liquor it about makes me sick & if I continue the hangover isnt worth it.

Everything in moderation fellas! As you get older you will realize that. Im a late bloomer I guess & it took me a lot of heartache to see it, but constant drinking is a nowhere road. You will lose 10x more than you will gain from it. It the most -EV thing that ever was

I like this dude, beer does nothing... i drink 3 or 4 and all i want is the bottle of whiskey/vodka on the table... i wish i could be that guy that can go and only have 3/4 beers... but i can't, i don't need to drink everyday but once i start i need a bottle w/o any mixer... alot of $ blown on that shit...

It's all about WHY you drink so much.
