Only in December.

I sleep terribly after even 2/3 drinks, it doesn’t stop me though, I have a couple maybe twice a week. Just had a bramble now.

I’ve taken drinking too far on occasions but wouldn’t call myself an a alcoholic. I’ve improved my behaviour with drink this year so hopefully it continues.

Rarely drink at home but do love a social drink at the weekend.

I'm thinking of ditching alcohol altogether and start doing weed instead.

Weed is no where near as good imo.

I drink a lot on a Saturday night but don't really drink during the week at all. I don't stick to health guidelines, put it that way. But I wouldn't say that goes into alcoholic territory

I'm thinking on ditching alcohol altogether and start sniffing glue instead.

Do you reckon that's something you'll stick to?

I generally go out on a Sat or Sunday unless I’m working that weekend
I’ll have roughly 7/8/9 pints then go for a sit down in an Indian or Chinese restaurant
Don’t drink during the week anymore unless it’s a special occasion

Do you eat food when you are in there? Or just like the ambience.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Really? It's better in every way IMO, but there's a high you get from alcohol which you can't get from weed.

It's a different high, not a better high, so no.

When i was in bands in my 20s, I'd probably be classed as an alcoholic... drinking 5-6 nights a week and blacking out at least a couple of times a week.

Through the winter, when we didn't have many gigs though, I wouldn't drink as much and didn't feel any withdrawal effects, so I guess it depends on your definition of alcoholic.

Now i only drink on weekends and rarely to the point of being drunk.

So, just me then. Oh well, I'll just have to soldier on.

My name is Igor and I am a very functional alcoholic.

Which is the worst kind because I never seem to hit rock bottom and if I was to share what I actually do drink people would not believe me.

I can go weeks without having a drink. Just depends what social events we have going on. I rarely drink at home, but sometimes in a weekend I'll have 8 cans. Sometimes I get 8 cans with the intention of drinking them all, drink 2, then can't be bothered with the rest.

I'm the same with weed. I like few joints now and then, but I didn't smile it at home. Only it I'm round at a mates or playing poker with the lads. Again, it can be weeks or even months between me having a joint.

I don't think 2 glasses of wine 5 days a week makes you alcoholic mate. At your age you shouldn't worry about it either.

What classifies being an alcoholic?
