How do you know if you are a alcoholic?
I turned 20 about 2 months ago i started drinking when i was 16 to cool and fit in. I started off slow with wine coolers then to liquor and would drink more than half a handle a night that was when i was like 17. when i turned 18 i switch to beer and have been drinking that since then. on most weekends i drink around 45 beers. o yeah i only drink on the weekends now which is thurday friday and saturday because of college. I'm tired of drinking so much and feeling sick and like my mind is blank all the time. the problem is that when ever i try to take a night off or stop all together my buddies talk crap and tell me i am a *****. thats one of the main reasons that i don't stop. am i an alcoholic?
Answers:
You absolutely have a drinking problem. So do your 'friends'. If you want to 'save yourself', and it sounds like you do, you must get new friends. These 'friends' will take you down with them. You definitely sound like you have the intelligence, courage and determination to be your own man (this is also called 'leadership').
Take charge of your life. Make the changes you know you need to make. Move forward and do not look back. That is the 'way of a winner' and you sound like you have what it takes to be a winner.
Best wishes and good luck.

alcoholic: Don't drink any alcohol for a week. If all you can think about, the entire week, is being glad when the week is over so you can go back to drinking, then yeah, you're an alcoholic. If you don't make it a week, you already know the answer.

How do you get rid of a sore throat that won't go away?
no you are not . If you let your buddy talk you into drink what else can they talk you into to doing. you have a mind of your own why let them tell you what to do. you are in college you must now what you want. big deal if they call you a ***** or anything else. its your life don't let them live it for you. when you have to have a beer ever day then you got a problem. but is they harder drinks that are not good for you and can burn a hole right threw you stomach and have to put on pills. beer just messes you your liver and have to walk around with a piss bucket on your side. get your head on straight and say hey i don't feel like it and put on a set of headphones and not listen to it and they will leave you alone. glYou may not be an alcoholic yet, but you will be if you continue on the same path. There is so much out there besides hanging out with your friends and getting drunk. You're friends shouldn't be giving you **** because you're not drinking. Honestly, it is not good to drink all that in one weekend. Are you really having fun? Take a break, because before you know it, in a few years, those weekends of drinking will turn into a habit, and you will be drinkining because you are an alcoholic.

You are not alcoholic. If you were you could have drank all the week. The best thing to discontinue alcohol is to keep yourself busy in studies during the weekends and treat the weekend as working days, and avoid your friends with some excuses. Have will power and be careful 'cause people around you are more dangerous than alcohol.Why do some adults still wet the bed?
Well, both my mother and her b/f were alcoholics. So I know what I'm talking about. If you're dependeant on it, yes you are. If you feel you can't get through one day without drinking at least once, then yes, you are an alcoholic. I don't mean to come off nasty here, and I'm sure you've heard it before too, if they really were "Friends", they will respect you when you choose not to drink. Listen, get off of it, you can't just quit altogether though. The best course of action would obviously be to get in touch with AA.They can help you better than I can. Also, a good way to kick the habit is by doing it. Just gradually step down with the nuber you have until you no longer feel obligated to drink. Drinking is no joke man, DONT F WITH IT. IT CAN AND EVENTUALLY WILL TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE. I've seen it.

OK your not an alcoholic your a binge drinker which is as bad or worse. I think your falling into peer pressure. That's sad at 20 yrs old. Just stop or drink slower and less amounts. You can walk around with the same beer for hours no one will know.Guys, Do you feel funny or awkward when - - -?
when you consume more than three alcoholic beverages for a man on a consecutive bases you are an abuser of alcohol. don't let your friends be the downfall of your education or life for that matter! your education is very important and the fact that you are having brain fogs at this point should tell you something as well be a warning through body signals that you are now experiencing.friends come and go throughout the course of your life but how often can you make up for yesterdays mistakes made today. you can't change your past but you can alter your future through positive results if you follow me. your friends probably don't have the same problem as you more than likely therefore can't relate to what you are going through or can but are so progressed in their addictions that they want you at their level in order to feel at ease within your presence. peer pressure is a *****! don't get caught up in the hype. your education is worth more and its costing you to be your best behavior throughout its duration dude!

lets see, I cannot tell you if you are an alcoholic but here are some guidelines that may help you make a diagnosis;- if you start a night of drinking and find great difficulty stopping after, say the fourth drink, might be diagnostic
- if you are not currently drinking, then you are thinking about how to;
+ get your next drink
+ drinking in general
+ how you plan on stopping or not stopping
+ how if you switch up your brand of alcohol, you may have better luck with it and avoid your problems
+ how you havent thought about alcohol for the past fifteen minutes
+ how you havent thought about the fact that you havent thought about alcohol for the past fifteen minutes
if you are thinking about these things, this may also be diagnostic.
- If you drinking has caused you to have to;
+ settle for less in any situation for example;
* had to leave a relationship with someone you liked because they didnt tolerate your drinking
* couldn't go to the school which may have been the best because you wanted to drink
+ family or loved one has faced direct harm as the result of actions that have occurred while you were drinking

Non alcoholics, do not need to control their drinking, alcohol does not provide the type of relief that an alcoholic gets. For a non-alcoholic, not drinking is not a problem.
-----------------
Here are some things that you can try that may help you find out if you are an alcoholic;
try some controlled drinking. try it more than once. Remember what I said earlier about the alcoholics seeming inability to stop drinking after they drink a few. Be honest about it. There is no one to impress, it is about you and the drink. Either you will be able to stop with little trouble, or you won't.
Another thing you can try is to stop drinking altogether for one year.
---------------------
Well, these are just some tips to help point you in the right direction. I cannot diagnose whether you are an alcoholic or not, that is something only you can determine.

No. An alcoholic drinks because they want to, not because they're trying to be cool. Please stop caring about what people think and what they say because if you continue to drink you will become an alcoholic.men, do you find women with mustache's hot?
