I will fess up first.
I am not a bing drinker, but I have a problem with alcohol.
This is my 2014 resolution to stop all alcohol consumption.
I am not an alcoholic but there are times I think that might be easier.
I have a drinking problem...and I want to overcome it.

How long is a “setting?” What if one has six drinks through 6 hours? Does that make someone an alcoholic, or a binge drinker?

You can do it if you want to do it.
Get some help and good luck.

You know whether you want to change your life or not. No one else needs to tell you (and they don't know anyway).
I like sobriety...I like being sober for days on end.
I think I am at the end of this rope.;-)

The expert is no longer around to ask.
He died at his home in Hyannis Port, Mass. at age 77 in August of 2009.

It’s not what you drink or how much you drink, it’s what happens when you drink.

Thx for that. I have been to AA and they said "you aren't an addict."
I am doing pretty well...
But you know, your point is well taken.
Serious drunks realize they have a serious problem...moderate drunks can lie to themselves forever.

I'm strictly a social or dinner drinker. I only drink on Fridays, since I work 2 jobs.
My cases of tall-can Busch Light days are over :-)

It’s not what you drink, how much or how often you do. It’s what happens when you drink that matters.

If you wake up next to a strange chick that has facial hair, you probably have a drinking problem.

I was witha gf for several years who was a Case Study for alcoholism.
And I mean that she, and then and her entire family were part of a 20+ year research by a gal at IU.
They got a lot of data outta her, I can tell you.

Serious drunks tell their first lie to the person they see every morning when they look in the mirror.

This just proves we need to ban alcoholic beverages. It will solve the whole problem.
Hey, it worked with hand guns, didn't it?

I have a potentially serious condition as of last July.
I have been pushing myself to eat/drink as healthily as possible, including not drinking alcohol. It is not easy, but reading the Psalms and the passages on God's holiness helps me a lot to try to stay on the straight and narrow.
To: jocon307
I guess so.
But all folks who drink get a new personality when they drink.
Life is easier and looser and more fun.
The problems start in about 40 years. Sometimes less.
