Am I an alcoholic?

[DustyBawls]

I cracked my first can open at 10am. I'll keep cracking them open until I fall over.

However. I'm also working.

[Rick_Muller]

unfortunately yes, I think you are if you are regularly drinking from 10am. Please seek help.

[Goobs]

I would say no, just a Bullsh!tter and attention seeker, most likely.

[DustyBawls]

Not regularly Rick. I drank yesterday, but didn't drink over the weekend, nor last weekend. I also did dry January. I drink very randomly.

[DustyBawls]

'most likely' - you doubted yourself immediately after typing the beginning.

[Goobs]

I don't know you and so can't be 100% sure hence the "most likely" at the end.

Do you often personally abuse people you don't know?

Are you a Bus Driver/Taxi Driver/Fork Lift Truck Driver/Airline Pilot? Are you in charge of a Nuclear Submarine?

Just asking, for a friend.

I knew you were kidding when you mentoned friend.

I'm a bus driver, but don't start until 3pm to pick the kids up from school. If I stop drinking at 2pm, I'll be right as rain by 3.

If you’d have said 9am my answer would be yes. However 10am is perfectly normal. Carry on and enjoy yourself.

[Selby Claret]

Alcoholism is often misinterpreted as volume of liquid drunk - rather than the dependency on the effects of the alcohol.

If you drink sporadically for enjoyment then the amount becomes somewhat irrelevant.

If you NEED to drink then you're entering the realms of alcoholism - even if that need is, in some eyes, a relatively low amount

Cheers buddy, I appreciate it. I think it was actually 10.04am, so even better.

Slightly off topic....are you Factual Frank?

I never need to drink. No chance I'd have done dry January if that was the case. If somebody said I could never drink again, I'd find a way to enjoy my life without it. But sometimes - just sometimes - being drunk is better than reality.

[CleggHall]

The fact that you are asking the question suggests that you already know the answer!

[DustyBawls]

Haha, no.

[DustyBawls]

Not really. There was a discussion on here not so long ago and nobody could agree on what the term actually meant.

Life is an illusion... reality is just a state of mind.... then again it might just be the eleventeen Cans of Stella talking

[Steve1956]

Haha, no.

I think Frank liked a beer!

[pushpinpussy]

I only drink on two occasions.

1:- When it's my birthday
2:- When it's not my birthday

[DustyBawls]

Don't we all. Cracking open another - cheers!

[Steve1956]

My Mum has asked every wife I have had since 1978 "is he an alcoholic" the answer has always been yes from all of them,arnt wives great?

[fatboy47]

Getting bladdered every day for 30 odd years got me through the winless run against 'stards. I barely touch the stuff now. Prefer wine.

[Murger]

Crack 'em open. Makes reading ITs tripe on here more bareable.

They are being cracked open at quite a reasonable pace. I had a blood test earlier - not sure they appreciated it when Stella came out.
