Turning into alcoholic

Started new job last year that gives me a lot of free time. Lot of days getting off early or working from home. Always been a weekend drinker but here the past few weeks I’ve started drinking during the week. Last week I drank every single day. I’ve got it down to a science where I can drink just enough to where I don’t have alcohol on my breath the next morning. Half pint plus two shots last drink no later than 9 pm.

I believe what's considered the alcoholic threshold is 5+ drinks per day. It's really easy to not do.

I drink A beer almost daily. But just 1-2. Moderation is key

Bro that is somewhat heavier than a beer or two per day, but you would not believe the sliding scale for alcoholism. Some people destroy like multiple bottles of hard liquor every single day from morning til night. Some people will literally have a seizure and die if they don't drink.

Yeah moderation is key, a half pint and two shots is like 2.5 drinks. That's probably on the fence in terms of alcoholism, but it's also about using alcohol as a crutch or drinking impacting the normal functions of your life. If you're drinking liquor everyday then your tolerance might go up, and that's what makes people start drinking more and slide down into that kinda lifestyle.

It's really a choice you make before it becomes a physical dependence. It's all in your control or it's in control of you. The same applies to drugs or really any other substance.

If you're having 2+ drinks every single day, I'd say you're an alcoholic dead srs. Who the fuk drinks more than that on a daily basis, beyond people that don't have a problem?

I can go an entire week without even thinking about having a drink. I can't imagine what it must be like as an adult to allow yourself 4-5 drinks a night and then still deny you have a problem.

I know plenty of women who drink a glass of wine almost every single day or guys that drink a beer with dinner. Don't really think having 1-2 drinks with dinner is going to cause much harm

I crushed about 20 yesterday and drinking aloe vera water with vodka now for my hangover and am in better shape and more successful than you.

I seriously lol at people with attitudes like yours that aren't super jacked multi millionaires. Have friends that are like "oh cptclean is an alcoholic etc" while they have a dad bod and make 60k a year.

Yeah I don't think having a beer with dinner is alcoholism. Drinking liquor every single day is like on your way. It's all about moderation and control, you don't even have to drink. I remember reading in some parts of the Midwest that people were using remote work as a way to work while drunk.

You're in better shape and more successful? I highly doubt that. You also sound highly immature (teenager status) and dependent on a chemical, so you're really just a weak ******* that gets offended easily, and no respectable employer would pay you more than minimum wage with your ****gy personality.

Also, the fact that your retarded brain won't accept the logical reasoning of anyone other than a super- jacked multi millionaire (less than 1/20th of the top 1% of the world) further shows what a delusional degenerate you aspire to be.

Have fun with your liver problems, AA meetings and chitty skin later on ya little twerp.
