this message is intended for people over 21 years of age only. . . Does anyone else here drink nearly every day? if not every day? Or am I just a raging alcoholic. Cause most of my friends do the same, so its not like I'm doing it alone(though sometimes thats how it ends up)
even to everyone that says they drink 6 times a week or so and dont always get drunk and dont crave it. if you do this on a regular basis and get drunk 4+ days a week, then your either an alcoholic, or on the road to becoming one. People that are truly alcoholics dont always realise it and think that its just normal. i know lots of people that abused alcohol and had to go to treatment away from normal people for 7 months to get clean. its a serious problem and if you think you have a problem, even a small one, you need to look into it.
back to the real topic of this thread......it doesnt neccisarily matter how often you drink but why you drink. i started to drink just at the end of high school, i would get drunk every time i drank but it was only about every other weekend. then came college. the first year i would drink a few times a week at parties, sometimes alone. my second year i hated school and my time at college. i didnt drink as much because i just sat on newschoolers every night. but whenever i went to a party at school or at home all i thought about was how i was going to drink/ rides home and such. i felt i needed to drink to be around people. even my friends from high school.and i would wake up depressed feeling the need to drink to feel better. i graduated and have been out of school for a year now. i quit drinking for about 2 months and it felt so much better. i have more fun, i dont get pissed off as easy and lost about 30 pounds. now i will get drunk about once a month and just have one or two beers when i go out the rest of the time.......just remember alcohol is a depressant....drink in moderation
summer is the season when people seem to drink more. its probable because its the atmosphere your in when its really hot and sunny. so you may find your self drinking more than you normaly would. but saying that people are more likely to be drinking with friends and not alown. i personaly only drink when im at parties and a few beers down the trails is good aswell.
