    Is this alcoholism?

    Last 4 months. 11 nights drunk


    Have I already defeated the bottle or do some achololics take long breaks?

    - if you drink daily
    - if you drink alone
    - if you hide your drinking from friends or family
    - if you drink to escape reality
    - if you drink before 12 noon
    - if you can not have a good time without drinking
    - if you spend more money on alcohol than you do on rent
    - if you absolutely can not go to a bar and NOT have a drink

    these are some good signs that your an alcoholic

    I've had at least a few beer probably 34 of the last 35 days but it's been really warm and I'm Canadian so drinking beer don't really count. Today is cold and rainy so I guess it will now be 34 of the last 36 days.

    Not even close. Try downing a $50 bottle of wine by yourself before your girlfriend arrives and have her catch you flirting with a ginger waitress. Maybe go to the store before 9.00 AM. Alcoholism is no joke; most people die from it.

    Oh look, another alcohol thread from Tony.

    If you gotta ask the question, you already know the answer.

    I drink 3-4 days a week and I hit it hard. But never crave it. Wine and cocktails only. I might drink a 6-pack a year.

    - if you drink daily - more than likely, yes

    - if you drink alone - have to disagree there

    - if you hide your drinking from friends or family - yes, because you yourself feel ashamed and guilty about drinking

    - if you drink to escape reality - big yes

    - if you drink before 12 noon - exceptions, if you work shift work, depends on your lifestyle, not all are nine to fivers.

    - if you can not have a good time without drinking - have to agree, if you need alcohol to have fun, you got a problem

    - if you spend more money on alcohol than you do on rent - my mortgage is 1200, I'm a weekend warrior, even if I did drink everyday, that's 40 bucks a day, that's a crapload of drinking, big yes there.

    - if you absolutely can not go to a bar and NOT have a drink - Isn't that the purpose of going to a bar though?
    I can go to a bar to socialize though if I did not feel like drinking, done it lots of times.

    here is my thing Tony...

    Yeah getting drunk is a blast but many times i opt not to get drunk b/c i know the next day will suck...

    loose watery shits.

    headache.

    Tired.

    Foggy brain- unable to think clearly.

    everytime i get drunk on liqour i'm taking explosive shits the next day so that right there is reason enough not to get too drunk.

    i prefer weed but sometimes i still get panic attacks and feel like i cant breathe for like an hour afterward

    Tony

    You remind me of story from about 15 years ago from a bar owner I knew. We would go there, drink, play cards, bet horses, bet any + all sports. Johnny had a pretty interesting life. Served in WWII, owned 5 or 6 bars at one time, and actually won the lottery many years back when it first appeared. I learned a lot and had a lot of good times there. I still hang with some of the crew once in a while.

    One day Johnny goes into this proposition. His idea was to be the beneficiary of live insurance policies of gang bangers in the neighborhood. He was serious. He figured throw them a bone of some sort, it wouldn't take much, for them to go along. Needless to say this was one of many such moments all over a beer or three.

    You should at least try to let someone benefit from your endless self destructive and weak tendencies.

    these are some good signs that your an alcoholic
    -if you are denied being an organ donor

    -if your best day you can remember was finding a coors light can in one of the keystone light cases you bought.

    - if your plumbing is so fuked up you foam up with just one beer

    - if you pee out your azzhole on a frequint basis


    i wanna say BOL tony, but i will save that for the next 10 threads about this issue

    i can take all the consequences except for the anhedonia. just unable to enjoy gambling, video games anything really for the next week after a bender.....so i will drink again but not unless im willing to drink all month and pay the piper for a few weeks after
