I like to drink ALMOST every day. The way I look at it is this: I work my a$$ off everyday doing something that I really don't care to do - so I can get a paycheck and pay my bills....when I get home, I like to drink and enjoy myself - what's wrong with that?


Is the family worried about you??? Are you kicking the dog and busting up stuff? Do you get a small buzz or get sh(t faced?


I think I already answered that
hey just keep on drinking your liver will take care of the problem:smile:
i tried to sell mine, no takers.!!!!laugh laugh laugh laugh

Because that is sending up a big red flag to most women.

If you use alcohol every day to relieve your stress of work, what happens with your stress get's even worst?

It's a crutch you're using to dull real life

There isn't anything wrong with having a few drunks, but if you're doing it everyday, and alone, it's a sign of a drinking problem


I'll drink to that...drinker

oops I'm not supposed to say that in this case am I?

I do agree with Phoenix though, I'll never date a man who has it every night, or can't go out without having drinks....

You dont seem to be liking peoples honest opinions here.

You drink a lot to anybody's standard, so the things people are saying are all valid and you should consider everything they are saying.

Drinking large amounts is not a problem as such in itself. But the worst thing you can do is be complacent about the fact that you are in control of the drink. Because without you even realising it, the drink may one day take control of you. Once you are an alchoholic you are ALWAYS an alcoholic.

I understand what you are saying totally, just dont discount all the opinions here or ever think that you are too smart to lose control of the booze.

Ultimately the only person who can tell you if you have a problem with alcohol is you. We can give our opinions but that's it.

I for one had to figure it out for myself too. This helped me, maybe it will you too.

Good luck.

You are an adult and as such...you can choose to live your life how you please, even if that is in a drunken stupor.

No one has the right to judge you, but since you DID post this, you opened yourself up for opinions.

That said, IMHO, if you are happy with it, fine. But do NOT be surprised when all those medical, social, financial, and relationship symptoms that are the inevitable result of continuous drinking come to surface. Just because you made the choice to ignore, overlook, and deny them doesn't mean they don't exist. Just give it time.

I am not an alcoholic, nor am I in AA, just giving my opinion.

I dont think counseling is necessary unless you do actually have a problem. As long as you can be honest to yourself. You could try just drinking less first of all.

What do you drink? Beer? Vodka?

How much of it do you drink each night on average?

The problem is not your drinking. The problem is that you are going on the internet asking a bunch of total strangers whether you have a problem in this sort of antagonistic way ("what's wrong with THAT?"), ya know, like you want to fight about it or something. (Why should I give a flying fig whether you drink or not? Go at it! Drink hearty! That's the spirit! Drink more! Hell yeah! Good boy!)

It could be anything: Collecting Matchbox cars, roller skating, crocheting, visiting widows and orphans, to wit: "Every day I come home from my job--which I hate--and unwind by (blank). A girl ditched me because my devotion to (blank) exceeded my desire to be in a relationship. So, what the hell is wrong with (blank)? Why should I care?"

You're telling us that you have a problem, and then saying--in this sort of immature and narcissistic way--"But if you think I have a problem, YOU'RE WRONG!"

If you were really just a big, loveable, happy, nonviolent drunk, you would find someone to be with who shared your values and not go posting about it on the internet. If you really thought you had a problem and wanted help, you would, you know--GO GET HELP. (lol)

Your problem is not drinking. Your problem is unrealistic expectations. You want to be with someone who is not a boozehound like you, for whatever reason. You're having a hard time finding someone who's not a boozehound who will love you the way you are, for whatever reason. *snort, giggle* Er... sorry. Anyway:

There are plenty of women (and men) out there in the world who will love you just the way you are. You're just not looking in the right places for them.

I hope this was helpful. yours in Chaos, Scarlett

What beer?

I know some american beer is pretty pissy. If you drink a light beer, thats not all that much at all in my opinion.
