Are you in control of your boozing?

Evidently I'm not

Proud of myself I can stop when I can. I like a drink but I can stop myself at the buzz phase.

I don't want to drink like I'm trying to escape

Thats my problem i go way beyond the buzz phase

 

[TheBigIguana]

I can. I actually wish as an adult there were more social activities that didn't involve it somehow.

that buzz phase after 2/3 pints is fantastic.
you feel all warm and fuzzy inside and the world is your friend.
unfortunetly for me i had to sink another 10 pints chasing after it with all the problems and illness that it caused!

I love drinking but hate drinking.. I love a pint of pretty much anything, but I hate drinking them if you know what I mean. Once past 2-3 pints I stop. I've not had more than 4-5 beers in one go for about 4-5 years now. Which obviously means no hangover for a long time too!

I drink whenever the hell I feel like it (1-3 times a week mostly), like you do as an adult, but it's always 1 to 1...drink responsibly.

Smashing water into you is key. I drink a pint of water every time I go up to the bar. Stops you getting uncontrollably drunk and turns the hangover from a week-shattering existential pain to a mild ache in the morning

Might as well just drink your ale at the urinal ?

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Could you stop for a week/month/year or can you have 6 pints then stop? Always intrested me that blacking out etc effectivley makes you a alcholic you dont need to drink everyday to be one

Whats your drinking habbits like? Binge etc?

Absolutely not! It has been a problem for years.It is only the hangovers that stop me from drinking more.
I normally try to have Monday-Tuesday off, but if there is wine in the house or mates call, I fold.

It damages family relations and obvioulsy my health. I should have learned from watching it destroy my mum.

Such a destructive drug, ruining families and lives the world over.

Apart from that, everything is good!

That was very cathartic

 

[Papa Shango]

I don't drink.

I'm not teetotal or anything like that I just don't see the point. I can't think of many things worse than drinking 8-10 pints of anything let alone lager etc.

I quit smoking about a year ago too, I should feel great but I feel worse! Probably just age...

 

[Amw79]

Interesting thread. I drink less now than ever before, having probably been a ‘functioning alcoholic’ in my 20s.

I cut down to weekends only a good while ago, and since taking up running a few years ago, I now only ever drink 1 night per week (Saturday! Tonight! Get in!), however still have the problem of knowing when to stop.

2 ibuprofen before you go to bed makes a massive difference as well.

Gee i really don't miss hangovers, hugging the toilet in the morning, every vomit near bringing me to tears, sweat pissing out of every gland, a pounding headache and trying not to sh1t myself while all this is going on lol
