Oh come on...this isn't about prohibition.
This is about personal wars.

Not necessarily so.
Many drinkers can take it or leave it, they feel no compulsion, they just like drinking. They can quit with no withdrawal symptoms.

Most problem drinkers not alcoholics, CDC reportsMaybe. But I don't trust a branch of an entirely out-of-control nanny-state to define when drinking is a "problem". I bet if I heard their definition it wouldn't be anything I'd recognize as reality.

Three times now I’ve woken up on a train headed in the wrong direction.

I was asking those questions as scientific questions, not if they would pertain to me.

I used to think I was an alcoholic. Now, I can afford it.

Youre not kidding.Unfortunately, no. "Unmet needs" is the bitcoin of the beltway, and they have people dedicated to mining for them.
To: RoosterRedux
Best of luck to you and admitting that you have a problem is a great step forward. Best wishes.

I find that substituting a good hot tea for wine works well when I want to cut back. I think I like the idea of drinking a glass of wine more than I actually like drinking it. I can’t stop at one, always at least 2. It’s like potato chips, so I find that just not having any makes me feel so much better the next day.
To: laplata
Thx much you my brother.
I think I am ready!

I did the tea thing for a while. Work rather nicely...for a while.
But then I am back here again.

Four beers in one sitting makes you a binge drinker? LOL
Damn, I better admit myself in the morning.

I can see why people slide into alcoholism (especially women) once the children all leave. Suddenly you don’t really have to get up early anymore etc, so you think I’ll have one more and one more then the next day is ruined. Fortunately I like to exercise, get up early and feel good. I have a family member that has been a pretty bad alcoholic for 30 years so I try to watch it.

Your Home/About page is very good and inspiring. You’re already on the right track, friend.

...report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I wonder how many studies of the general public's private lives it take to classify a public agency as a binge busy-body, strike that, a stone cold drunk mauler of good decent people who relax in their homes with family and friends...
