Only drinks to get drunk socially, can go days or weeks without drinking but when they do, they are waking up to fear of checking their unread messages, bank account, and a massive hangover. This is perfectly okay and what we call a social drinker! Person B). If person B gets a sip of alcohol, all hell breaks lose and loses total control! Person B chooses not to drink alcohol because of this. This person is perfectly healthy and we should look up to them. Person C). Maybe has 2-3 drinks most days, maybe a couple drinks after dinner or likes having a drink during lunch. Person C, rarely wakes up with a hangover and has zero issues with alcohol impacting his or her life.

DDirtyDastard 12/27/20 2:18:43 PM #7:	I'm Person D). Wakes up in the middle of the night to take a shot of hard liquor. Wake up a few hours later and takes another shot. Around lunchtime I grab a Truly or a Pabst Hard Seltzer from the convenience store and drink it while I take a walk through the woods and toke up. Get home, start drinking proper. Mixing two shots of hard liquor for every six ounces of seltzer water. Proceed doing this until bed. Probably end up drinking three seltzers, so that'd be 12 shots worth of booze in the latter half of the day. <cite>DDirtyDastard posted [p:948810773] in How Americ...

Master Kazuya 12/27/20 2:34:51 PM #23:	What was your motivation to make this topic? Did someone call you an alcoholic? Do you think you're an alcoholic? If you think you're an alcoholic, you probably are. Alcoholic isn't necessarily how much you drink, it's about knowing some part of you enjoys drinking perhaps a little more than you'd like. Functional alcoholic doesn't exist, it's another way your brain tricks you into drinking more. If you are an alcoholic, there's two choices you can make. You are either okay with it or you're not okay with it. You just need to figure out what works for you. Some people drink a ton and that's just what they do. Apparently a lot of construction workers drink a lot. Some people stay completely away from alcohol. For me, I just set limits on myself. Like, I'll only drink if I have nothing important I need to do the next day, limit my number, or determine I'm feeling nicely drunk and whatever I'm holding at the moment I'll decide is my last drink for the night.

Ser_Jaker 12/27/20 9:52:50 PM #49:	I love booze but I never feel like I need it or cant function without it. There's nothing tastier than a Manhatten. Maybe I'm just a snob but I'd also take being sober than drinking cheap, shit booze. If the end goal is just to get pissed and forget everything that's probably an alcoholic. Some people are just fine to handle 2 drinks and relax without turning into a drunken mess. I've known proper alcoholics who after a few drinks can't control themselves and turn into a aggressive, incoherent mess. --- "A human destiny, but nothing human inside.....

masticatingman 12/27/20 9:53:05 PM #50:	Id consider person C on the minimum end of alcoholism. And mostly just by pure definition. If youre talking about light beers, yeah, that person is almost definitely fully functioning with next to no effect on their work productivity. Obviously not the healthiest habit in the world but a couple of beers isnt throwing your life into a spiral. That amount of alcohol isnt too far off what the British navy gave out as rum rations, which was just enough to give the sailors a bit of a kick for fun. --- Fervent appearing <cite>masticatingman posted [p:948827135] in How Americ...
