At what point are you an alcoholic?

Registered 16 years agoWhite wine only drinkers dont typically like wine in my experience, they're just happy with a cheap bottle that's relatively inoffensive when cold enough to mask the bad taste. -

It is an illness that can get aggressively worse if your mind is that way bent.
In regards to controlling things and being a moderate drinker, it's really not on option for someone like me, akin to approaching a Gorilla for some sweet love making. -

I can drink a LOT of red wine, stouts, whiskys etc, but white wine, regular lager etc both get me pissed significantly quicker and give me a worse hangover, not sure why.
Red wine really doesn't like me. -

And that's ultimately the difference between someone who is a heavy drinker and an alcoholic. A mate of mine was unable to get dry, sadly, despite lots of people trying to help him. It's just too much for some people.

Not to turn it back onto me (the premise to this thread is ancient history as far as I'm concerned) but it's stuff like this that makes me think I was probably never an alcoholic. Without any effort whatsoever, I just slowly changed and became a moderate/normal drinker. -

I'd just say that it's easy to go from being a happy moderate to heavy drinker to full blown alcoholic if life deals a bad hand.
And digging yourself out of that hole is the trick, I was lucky in that work stepped in to help me out. -

Can't believe how many people don't like red wine.
we used to drink bottles of £2-3 wine at uni (cuve le bosq eurrrrrrrgh) and then throw up a lot, so i now associate wine as horrible tasting get drunk cheap and fast rubbish.
always beer or vodka + mixer if pushed / full

Registered 15 years agoGuy at work passed away just before Christmas, and we suspect it was due to alcoholism. Every lunch, after work and some times before work, he'd be down the pub for a pint or two before coming in. Sad really. Can't really say work was that supportive about it either, as he had everything in hand when he was here. "Functioning alcoholic" I guess is the term. -

10 or so years ago they sold a lot of cheap nasty wine everywhere. Nowadays it's all fairly nice, even the really cheap stuff. You'd be hard pressed to even find nasty stuff. -

I don't see why i should though. If i go out to dinner and people are having wine and i order a beer and they look at me funny then fuck them, they are not my sort of people. -
