Functinal Alcoholics

I'm a nurse and am slowly coming to the realization that I might be a functional alcoholic... Are you one?

So my questions are this; are you a functional alcoholic, and if so is it necessarily a bad thing? It seems to help me get through week to week. It's also easier then having to feel feelings. It also makes awful Panther loses a lot easier to handle. I know at the Vikings game I spent a god-awful amount on beer at the stadium and later at the bar on liquor to forget that loss!

So what say you huddle?

Edited to say that the error in spelling in the thread title was due to me being an alcoholic

What and how much do you consume on a day to day basis?

A good rule to go by is: anything under a fifth of liquor and 8 joints a day, you don't really have a problem yet.

But if it's 9 joints, you might want to talk with someone.

I've known a few....they never got hammered per se, just kept slowly drinking all day keeping a buzz and going on. One of my parents best friends was one for about 30 years. He drove a flower truck all day and would hit the ABC store in the morning and nurse a sprite and gin drink all day. Never got a DUI in 30 years amazingly.

      Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.

      So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?

      OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
