Forums - General - Am I an alcoholic?

I say don't stop, enjoying a few pints with friends is perfectly acceptable. I say you are perfect the way you are.

Ignore the "elitist" haters who don't drink, they have no way to judge if you are an alcoholic or not because they have never drank any themselves and they assume that one pint gives you cirrhosis of the liver... perhaps five pints a day might, but that's a stupid amount for anyone.

5 Pints is hardcore, even for me. See the rest of the normal world drinks half pints basically, i would down about 2 1/2 pints on the av. london night out, or 3 1/2 depending on the essex (u know) situation.

 

It comes down to if you think your drinking too much, thats the definition of having a problem. Hence yes, so try something else and it will help you get over the other thing.

DONT do crack, i was joking



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

I say don't drink and I'm certainly not an elitist hater. I'm a student and as drinker, I just don't think having cravings for alcohol is a good thing.

@megaman. In the antipodes we drink double pints, served in a jug (and drunk from a jug). But we do have one of the worst binge drinking cultures in the world.
