at what point is it a drinking problem?

[chode_regulator]

i go through two phases. caring about my drinking problem and not caring about it. When I care about it, I work out every day, drink alot of water, dont drink until i get off of work if im going to drink during the week (usually i'll wait til thurs, fri, and sat to drink), eat "healthier", run if I have time, and boom, on to phase 2 - not caring about my drinking problem. then i start all over.

pretty much how i am. though the longest i cna remember, other than iraq, going without a drink was a week not too long ago. i think i posted that in a thread somewhere. day 8 i caved in.

Pilot + drinking problem... oh, this will end well... NOT.

Dude, if you can't stop drinking and it freaks you out not to have alcohol in the house you have a problem.

Give it up cold turkey for a month and then see how you feel. You'll be surprised how much healthier you feel.

never said i was a pilot
ive tried going a month. actually i just said i was going to quite and made it a week. maybe if i give myewlf a goal then i will do better

1. Do you normally drink alone?
2. Do you have a history of alcholics in your family?
3. Do you always wear lace thongs or just some of the time?

yes
yes
always

Nice

And yes, after 9 years it doesnt really affect me much as far as sobriety. I mostly drink at home so I dont really drive while drinking unless its to go to the corner store for more. Im not a violent drunk, Im actually more social when on a buzz. I have to force myself to drink a beer if its before 5:00... it just feels wrong. After 5 though, all bets are off

My definition of an alcoholic is a person who starts to feel sick or become irritable if they havnt had something to drink. I dont know if Im one of those people yet or not because I havnt really been inclined to stop just yet, but that time is coming.

when i had a full time job i would usually drink as soon as i got home. around 6. on weekends, if i was bored i would try to wait til 11 am. emphasis on try.

I think you should smoke crystal meth every day for a month. Can't tell you from experience but I get the feeling if you do that, your drinking problem will become a distant memory.

fill up your empty beer bottles with cat piss, then drink a 6 pack of that for a few days...

Try switching to Budweiser Select. That's what mookie did.

One time, before we migrated to Austin, we were visiting some friends who had frat friends in San Marcos. There was a huge block party. Mookie got there 2 hours earlier than all of us. By the time we got there, he was passed out, wedged between two ford F-150's, with drool all over his shirt. It was like he was in suspended animation. Lit'rally. The whole night we heard legend-esque stories of how "this crazy guy from victoria drank an entire 24 pack in 30 minutes".

From that day forward, Mookie switched to Budweiser select.
