Damn

Let me google that for you
Shit man.. If you're drinking everyday, and you feel the NEED to do it, it would be wise to take a break from drinking.

 

Fuck that, the term is thrown around way too losely. When I get lonely, I turn to drugs or alcohol. MOST PEOPLE DO. That's why everyone walks around America like a zombie on the anti-depressants, so they aren't slamming wine for breakfast.

I use to drink ALL the time, whenever I could reason to myself that it was applicable for me to have a few, I'd make that move. I'm not sure why I stopped, maybe it's because time started to fill itself up, and I found new things to occupy my time.

Probably the same situation for you broski, just need to find alternate enjoyment. That's not saying you should stop drinking, because that'd make me a hypocrite, considering I'm writing this while sipping on a ginger and vod.

Edit: Above post proves my point. You'll start smoking pot again when legally responsible to do so, and your drinking habit will diminish.

 

To be honest guy, I think you are the only one who can definitely answer the question you are asking. In all honesty I think it's another form of slowing down the process of acceptance. IF you need to drink to function you're addicted man. Slow it down, you know your limits though man. I'm sorry you can't smoke pot dude, that sucks majorly. If you want some good legal highs other than alcohol. Try some Kratom dude and there are actually some decent legal herbs, there's a lot of shitty ones but some decent legal ones. Give it a shot, don't even stop drinkin' but use some legal shit or kratom to mix in and slow it down or somethin. Try some other drugs in the mix you know. Drinkin' too much is one of the worst addictions I've seen and I've seen damn near em all.

 

Doesn't sound that bad. I used to drink all day too , not to be drunk trashed but just , because I enjoyed it. I still do but not as much.
It was easy for me to slow down though.

 

as long as you aren't getting piss yourself drunk there's nothing morally wrong with drinking every day as a young person. i smoke every day, does that make me better than you? all of your teachers ever were on xanax and kpins and valium all day teaching us, just because you choose your intoxicant as alcohol doesn't make you an alcoholic. it makes you an appreciator of alcohol who decides to have a drink when he want's on.


there's nothing wrong with having a beer in the early day. but if you're getting out of hand, take a break and get a down ass girlfriend.

Well lucky for you it takes a considerable amount of time to become physically dependent on alcohol, comparatively speaking.

I don't know what a lot of you guys are thinking but getting drunk for most of the day everyday is extremely unhealthy. Even forget dependence for a second and just look at the LONG list of physical issues that will pop up quick.

I'm sorry if I sound like a dick but, yeah it's all cool shit now, just wait until you end up with w/d's. It happens to anyone and everyone who drinks enough/long enough. It's hell.

 

If you're going to drink heavily there are some simple things you can do to minimize damage. The most important one is...eat. Eat a good high protein diet. If you drink and do not eat, that increases your chances of doing severe damage to your body, esp. your pancreas.

And take a good B-Vite suppliment to help prevent long term complications such as Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome

If you're going to be drinking heavily now, a $5 bottle of vites can save you a world of grief later. Public service announcement over, enjoy your beer.

 

People throw around alcoholic way too much, I drink just about every night (not getting shitfaced everynight, but atleast enough to feel a buzz) and I've had people calling me an alcoholic.

 

"Who knows when to stop
Does not continue into danger,
And so may long endure."

 

Haha naw man your a tank

 

watup from west palm beach too.... yeah i had that stage where i was gettin tested for court so i drank alot.. its not a bad thing u just need to know the right time to drink

 

whenever i visit norway its common for the people to be drinking a beer or two with breakfast, lunnch n other random times.. its just a problem in my opionion, if you need it to function while doing something, whether it be social stuff, to like mowing the lawn, I guess

 

Heres a surefire way to know if youre a bonafide alcoholic. Try stopping for a few days. If you find it unbearable, if you feel the NEED to drink, if you feel like you'll go insane without drinking, then you are an alcoholic. If you can switch over to bud or take a break without any serious physical or mental consequences, you're fine. True alcoholism is were someone will become seriously fucked up without drinking.

 

Back in the old days LSD was used to help alcoholics, it worked 80% of the time, better than anything avaliable today. You might want to try that.

 

Not trying to be a douche, but it seems like you have some underlying issues that you are covering up. You used to smoke all the time, now you can't, so you replaced it with another high.

It's not the same as I can't smoke anymore, so I've decided to start playing more basketball with my friends.

If you're getting high all the time, and have to start getting a different high when weed is no longer available, you may have a problem.

I would say just take a week break and see how things go.

Remember have weed(and other drugs) revolve around your life, not your life around weed(and other drugs).

 

Sounds like more of a psychological addiction to the altered state on consciousness than alcoholism. I have the exact same thing, as do most people on this forum.
