Am I an Alchoholic?

Okay... I dont drink at all during the week, which is good. But on a weekend all up I drink an average total of 40 bevies?
I know its binge drinking, but it could be a dependence because I havent had a non drinking weekend since I was 16 and im now 20?

The distinction between heavy drinking and alcoholism is typically based not on the quantity you drink, but on how the drinking is affecting your life If drinking in anyway , shape or form, affects your life , causes problems .. You are probably one I f you answer yes to any of these and or think its right... you probably are one

It???s not a problem because I only drink beer, not hard liquor.
It???s not a problem because I never drink before 5 PM.
It???s not a problem because I can stop whenever I want to.
It???s not a problem because I never miss a day of work.
It's not a problem because I drink, but I don't really get drunk.
It was ok to drink so much yesterday because I had an awful day at work.
It was ok to drink so much yesterday because it was a party.

If you have to justify your behavor..
have to hide some of my drinking from my wife because she???s so controlling.
I just feel like avoiding my family these days because they are so critical.
I'm a good driver. I've never had an accident after a couple of drinks.
Hangover days are really just the same as any other sick day
YOU probably are one
If you blame others for problems .. that were caused by your drinking... You probably are one

Ask yourself these questions and if the answer is yes then you probably are one
Have you developed a tolerance for alcohol?
Do you have withdrawal symptoms on days when you don't drink?
Do you drink in the morning?
Do you have cravings for alcohol?
Do you ever have blackouts? ( Blackouts are times when you were conscious, but you don't remember what happened. A typical example is not remembering the last half of a party the previous night, or not remembering how you got home. It takes a lot of alcohol to produce a blackout. )
Do you ever try to get "extra" drinks at a party because the amount others are drinking isn't enough for you?
Do you ever find yourself wishing that the people around you would drink more, so that the amount you drink won???t stand out?
Have your friendships started tending towards heavy drinkers, so that your drinking patterns fit right in?

i would have to say yes ...you should seek help go to an AA meeting or some kind of help you will be thankful that you did in the future

---

I would say yes.
The Journal of the American Medical Association defines alcoholism as such: "a primary, chronic disease characterized by impaired control over drinking, preoccupation with the drug alcohol, use of alcohol despite adverse consequences, and distortions in thinking."

So, basically, if you can't control how much you drink/if you drink (even on weekends) and if you continue to drink even though bad things might have happened in consequence of your drinking, you're an alcoholic.

YES!!!! WHY DO U DRINK ANWAYS!!! just get a shirly temple or somethin

---

Do you need it or do you just like it?

If you can skip a weekend drinking then no... your just a problem drinker who needs to learn self control. If you can't skip a weekend then you might be an alcoholic... Only you can decide for sure.

---

alcoholics are people who drink even though they know they shouldn't, drink even though they mean not to, and people who can't stop drinking once they start.

Also, normal people generally don't black out, and if they do, they don't let it happen again.

Your drinking sounds excessive. You have already done damage to your liver, which you will want to use for the rest of your life.
