drinking

I'm starting to grow mildly concerned with my drinking. I don't think I've gone a single day within the past 2 months without having a drink at some point during the day. Granted it's usually a beer with dinner or a glass of wine or sake while I work on my art... but I dunno. I don't beleive that alcoholism is a disease. I don't beleive alcoholism ( Read more... )

alcoholism is not a disease but it is a symptom.

You have to examine the details of your drinking. Why are you doing it? How much are you having? Are you actually getting drunk off of it? Be honest with yourself on this.

It could be a cause for concern, but then again it could be phase. It's not sounding like anything to worry about though. Just make sure you don't become like me a few years back. You remember how I was right around this time of year 2 years ago, right?

lol I'm not terribly worried yet.

I am drinking usually cause the tension in my body and the pounding in my head back off when I do. A massage and asprin every day could get pricey.

I drink usually wine glass worth of Sake, Red Wine or a 12oz White Russian at around 8 or 9 pm. If at a party or having an excessively bad day I'll have a second.

I always eat just before or after. I am not getting drunk but definately getting relaxed. My actions, activities and persona do not change, just my mood becomes slightly better.

I try to make sure I don't go to sleep while buzzed. I usually have a sword practice on my back porch around 11pm to burn it out of my system.

I don't think I'm terribley off yet. Just mildly concerned that I've felt the need to have a drink every day for 2 months. I think all it actually speaks of is my levels of stress, not so much my will power or addiction.

What's your opinion?

And we're hanging out this sunday :nods:

:looks around shiftily:

I'll bring the wine.
