Am I an alcoholic?
I cracked my first can open at 10am. I'll keep cracking them open until I fall over.
However. I'm also working.

Re: Am I an alcoholic?

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

Re: Am I an alcoholic?
I don't know you and so can't be 100% sure hence the "most likely" at the end.

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

Re: Am I an alcoholic?
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

Re: Am I an alcoholic?
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.Selby Claret wrote:Alcoholism is often misinterpreted as volume of liquid drunk - rather than the dependency on the effects of the alcohol.

Re: Am I an alcoholic?
The fact that you are asking the question suggests that you already know the answer!

Not really. There was a discussion on here not so long ago and nobody could agree on what the term actually meant.CleggHall wrote:The fact that you are asking the question suggests that you already know the answer!

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

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

You're drinking and working? Sounds like you're a professional beer taster.
