Alcoholism
« on: May 19, 2007, 02:49:35 PM »
How do you know if you're an alcoholic?

I got thinking about it today and my housemate called me one which worried me slightly.

Straight from Wikipedia:
1# Have you ever felt you needed to Cut down on your drinking?
2# Have people Annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?
3# Have you ever felt Guilty about drinking?
4# Have you ever felt you needed a drink first thing in the morning (Eye-opener) to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover?

Is that supposed to be an acronym?

Is it trying to symbolise alcoholism as being like you're trapped in a cage and its hard to get out?

You can't accuse me of being one, you don't know my habits.

You answered yes to most of it, I think you're in denial.

Not denial, just sceptical. I'm not like any of the alcoholics I know.

Haha funny thing is, my housemate who said that to me just came in drunk and is hiccuping and walking into things :P

Sounds like a good idea.  But, remember to cut down on the drinking.  There is help available, just pick up the phone.

The number one symptom that you are an alcoholic is that if you believe the earth is flat.

Well, how much do you drink? I don't trust any of those silly questionairres either anyways. They're dumb and set up by people who want to send people to Alcoholics Anonymous which is pretty much the silliest place ever.

I'm sixteen and trust me, it's really not that hard. I know plenty of people who sell whoever the fuck they are. Plus, I can just mooch off other people, too. I know a people over the legal limit as well.

Yeah questionnaires like that are stupid. I wouldn't have even thought about it if it wasn't for my housemate saying, on top of everything that's said at work.

And clownboy, I can get alcohol because I'm old enough you silly...how old I look don't matter cos I have ID if I do get asked.
