General - Am I an alcoholic? - View Post

I drank a lot but I have barely drank the past few weeks. Just give it up for a few days. A true alchy (I know a few friends) would get the shakes after a day or two. So if you can go an entire week then that is a start. Alcohol is fun and all but eventually if you realize it is pretty boring if done repetitively.  Also, if you start cutting back then only 1 or 2 beers gives you a decent buzz.  If you drink all the time like I used to then you would barely feel 1 or 2.  So instead of spending all the money on drinking 6-20+ beers you can just drink 1 or 2 beers and feel a pretty decent buzz.  Lowering your tolerence is awesome start if you don't want to give it up completely, and drinking 1 or 2 beers a day is pretty much beneficial to the body.  Once you pass 2 or so beers then you are negatively affecting your body.
