IGotWorms 4,057 Posted December 18, 2010 Does it feel like too much to you? Do you 'need' to drink? And what are you drinking? If it's beer, 20 a week isn't much at all. Especially if you've been drinking awhile, 20 isn't even drunk more than one night per week. I guess if you're worried about it, try drinking half of what you normally would. See if it still feels like enough. Well that's a tricky question. I don't feel like I physically "need" to drink, as in I don't get the shakes or whatever. The only thing is I get kinda bored if I don't have at least a couple drinks. Not that I kill the boredom by drinking every night, but more nights than not. And we're mostly talking beer, but I like to dabble in the whiskey and sometimes I have to resort to the lady-friend's wine because its all that's left in the house. P.S. Sorry to bring down the drinking thread guys. I was just wondering if my doc was onto something or maybe he is just being a Negative Nancy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to bring down the drinking thread guys. I was just wondering if my doc was onto something or maybe he is just being a Negative Nancy. The doc was just doing his job. There are a lot of effects on your health from drinking, some of which he mentioned. As you said at the very beginning, a lot of people lie when they tell the doc how much they drink. Dunno if you fudged the answer when you said 20 but it sounds like you did by a little bit, at least. The doc probably sensed that and that lead him to the health discussion and giving you the brochures. I don't know what the brochures he gave you said, but a person can only decide for his or herself if they're alcoholic. Is alcohol affecting your health, job, or family adversely? Based on the sound of it, I'd say no. As long as your alcohol intake isn't increasing as time goes on and drinking isn't affecting your life negatively, I wouldn't be too concerned. I'll qualify that by adding that you have to be completely honest with yourself when making this evaluation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nikki2200 4 Posted December 18, 2010 Hey! This thread is about celebrating drunkenness! IGW= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yFSpml8oSw IGW..... You are fine. Doctors are supposed to say stuff like that. And because everyone lies to them about how much they drink (I say 5 a week ), he probably thought you drank a lot more than the 20 you said. Drink up! At least you'll die happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CantTouchThis 23 Posted December 19, 2010 Going to the bar, but will probably only have a beer or two and play a couple games of pool. A couple friends are up there and i'm bored, but don't feel like getting schwasted. But, i will say there is about a 35% chance i end up having more than a few and taking a taxi back.

Had a "tub" of beer, which is equal to about 3, and a regular bud lite. I think this was the first time i drove back from the bar, i think this is a big milestone.

I'm on my thrid glass on the rocks and I'm going to drink until I can't remember my name. As soon as that fantastic game ended I broke open another coors light to celebrate Vick getting me to the finals of my FF league. I also somehow drunkenly satellited into the Sunday Million on PStars. I'm getting killed though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Her mom was there so we were old, but not the oldest. Played some beer pong and rocked......until we got home. I may have pissed in the fridge ...and the decorative pumpkin left over from Halloween. I have a bruise on my dicKK and no idea how it got there. Started drinking after the Saints loss and am a firm believer in the Grande M. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
