someone needs to come up with a better name than alcoholic. it's become such a dirty label. it's not a dirty think, it's something that can be handled. that said, i scored really high on that test. most ppl i know would as well (even those who drink very little) - ie; drink before 12?.. ever? if you've never had a mimosa or bloodymary in the morning your missing out

When you can't control yourself, and that you keep on needing to drink it.

There are lots of ways figure it, Nico-T, but the bottom line is: if you think you may have a drinking problem, even occassionally, you do.

I know, because I am an alcoholic. I have not had a drink since March 3, 2003. I wish I know how easy it was to quit. I would have done it way sooner. The benefits are awesome. That said, I know I am one of the lucky ones. My best friend struggled with his addition for two decades, lost nearly everything, and is barely out of the woods.

If you want to talk, hit me up on ICQ 171-116-398.

Good luck!

well thanks but it was more a general question ;)
just interested in the responses peeps gave.. got no problems at all and i tend to keep it that way :)

Being an alcohol has nothing to do with the number of drinks you drink. It has to do with the reasons behind needing one.

:1orglaugh

your an alcoholic when...
- you go home early as opposed to having fun to drink
- you arent happy and cant have fun unless your drinking
- you memorize the booze stores open/close times lol
- you cant sleep unless drunk
- you drink everyday

LOL just a couple.

As an alcoholic who has not had a drink since April 2, 2003. The way my disease was explained to me, was the same way it was explained to millions of others just like me is this. "If, when you honestly want to, you find you cannot quit entirely, or if when drinking, you have little control over the amount you take, you are probably alcoholic."

That's easy.

A drinker sleeps in his own bed.

An alcoholic sleeps under someone else's car.
