Am I an alcoholic?

[einar]

A simple observation, though obvious: imbibe as you will, but don't operate a car or other machinery after *any* booze. Do this for yourself and for the rest of us. Like "Cute" says, take a cab. Or walk. Or TTC.

Were you drinking when you made up your handle??

Ya mght wnt ta use spelchek if youse had bin drnkin.

Or is it a play on words? Your real name IS Walter and you want to go off like a gun. I'm sure some girls around here could help you out in that regard.

See web site below for info.

Alcohol flushes out dead brain cells and replaces them with fresh new ones

Take Lecithin and Silymarin (herb), these 2 will protect your liver

Do these help no matter how much you drink. What about drugs.


Where do you by them ( not the drugs )

Sure I drink about the equivalent of 4 cups of hard liquor a week (say every other night) with a strong glass of REMY MARTIN or what-have-you.

My thoughts are that cutting back would be good for your health.
I have been to aa and ca and I won't decide for you whather you are an alcoholic because different people have different ideas, some would classify anybody who has more than 2 drinks an alcoholic, I guess that makes everyone in my company one.

Again I look at it now simply as a long term health issue for me.
I still drink and tend to binge drink but not as often.

This was a joke

This was serious, you can buy both at any decent vitamin or health food store. I think even Shoppers drug mart has it now.

I know you can drink a LOT more when you take these and it also helps if you take Vit. B complex with it

very helpfull

Thanks for all the responses this is very helpfull.

To answer a couple of questions my name is walter and I am a fan of Bond especially the Conners Bond.

I never drink in the morning or get shakes or puke or passout or any of that, however I do drink a couple of 26ers a month (depending on how many weekends there are in a month).

But the biggest revalation for me is that it is not about quantity is is more about why. I agree with that.

I think I will do what "cute in a kilt" did and quit for a couple months and then go from there. I doubt I would want to cut it out totally but if I can avoid habbits and patterns and reduce the amount I think I can live with that.

CIAK has some very good advice.

I think this makes sense , quitting totally is a pretty tall order.

It's funny how all the AA, 12 step and scientology people on TV always seemd to look and talk brainwashed. Or is it just me that notices
