Functinal Alcoholics

[Henne Given Sunday]

Im a drunk. Alcholics go to meetings.

When I worked as a Construction Electrician, I could have been considered as a "functional alcoholic". Hell, we all were. When we worked out of town, showing up to work drunk or hungover was totally acceptable.

I an not an alcoholic, they go to meetings.

I'm just your average run of the mill drunk. :D

Does that not completely freak you out?

Does it affect your job performance in any way?

Does it affect your family?

I think if the answer to these two are clearly no (and you need to be perfectly honest with yourself) then we are past the biggest problem parts.

You put what you think is too much toxin in your body and it makes you happy? Personal choice especially depending on the amount we are talking about. A 5th of Scotch a night compared to a few glasses of red wine is important.

Oh man. Can this thread be about scotch now? What I'd give to have a bottle on hand.

After reading this thread, I think I need a drink. :cheers2:

I feel hungover and I haven't had a drop of alcohol today.

I have something to drink pretty much every day. Miss a day or two here and there.

A few beers in the afternoon, and a couple glasses of wine while cooking dinner. When I go out, it's just a few more beers and an extra glass or so of wine.

Rarely get hammered, and certainly have never missed work because of alcohol.

Do I drink too much: Yes.

Am I a drunk or alcoholic: No, at least not in my mind.

Clicky.

The only problem with them is that they get pissy when you bring a case of Samuel Adams to any functions.

[TheThrillIsGone]

I think I pulled my groin. Can you help? I have wine.

using anything to dull your emotions is a horrible way to get through life. it means you're ignoring your problems and hoping they'll just go away, and this undoubtedly affects your family, friends, and work even if you don't realize it.
