Symptoms of Alcoholism

Ouch! Some of my college friends started calling alcohol and a daily multivitamin "The Karen Diet". I was just limiting my calories!

:leaving:

 

I always cook when I'm wasted lol.

 

livin' on drinks, vitamin c and cocaine...

 

have you ever thought about seeing a doctor about this? they would probably refer you to counseling or something, I don't know if there is much they could do.

people can overcome addictions, but I think it is tough. with alcohol, I think only a small number ever recover

sending some positive vibes your way bro!

 

I love drinking so much I've never even wanted to stop.

 

at your pace, seems like it's just a matter of time

 

yeah. drinking may be fun now, but most young alcholics that think that way have never seen someone die from drinking-related illnesses. Its a slow, painful, horrible way to go. It will catch up with you by your late 30s.

 

I have a couple dying friends. It sucks. Before I turned into an alchy this old hippie who was dying of cirrhosis begged me not to drink these three beers I had. I drank them anyway and he walked away with tears in his eyes. That shit still fucks with my head all the time. I mean I never used to really like alcohol I don't know how this happened. I'll be surprised if I even live till 30.

 

I hardly think so.

 

The medical guidelines are figures that were simply plucked out of thin air, there's very little evidence to back them up.

 

Man I was so tore back this morning I had a Hurricane for breakfast =[

 

Bah. Enjoy it man. You can get away with it at 21-23 Slow down after that though. I'd advise you to not let it effect work and relationships though.

 

Yeah all my friends and my boyfriend are the same way so it's not really an issue. It's just the norm. Yeah I probably should quit drinking eventually before I end up like some of my friends.

 

I grew up in a environment where it was acceptable. I'm 28 and still drink on occasion, but when you grow up a little you learn to moderate. Truly make a consious effort the day after you turn 24 though.

 

Yeah. My BF turns 24 on the 25th and he's pretty bad too.

 

The difference between alcoholic drinker and normal drinker is the normal drinker will get a little tipsy or say something stupid and think ''whoa that's enough for me". The alcoholic will start to feel intoxicated and think, "All right!! the party's on. Gentleman start your engines"!
Also, time. One crosses the line over time. It's rarely noticeable. Once you cross the line rarely can one go back to normal drinking. Happens quicker with women. imo

 

I guess I'm an "alcoholic drinker" then...

 

If you wake up in a gutter dressed like Zippy the pinhead with a bananna protruding from your pants and a crowd standing there hollering "more-more -more - you could be an alcoholic.

 

If most of your calories on a day-to-day basis come from alcohol, you could be an alcoholic.
