Does it prevent you from doing things you wish to accomplish?

Before you drink, do you realize it's a bad decision, yet end up drinking anyway?

Those are my "two-fer" for any kind of addiction. Addiction is a sad thing, you are not alone so do not feel bad. I should write a research paper on addictions.

No, and no.  fracking A.  I'm solid.

Really happy for you 1Big. Didn't want to have to lump you in with the likes of Huge Upside.

This is great input.  You actually should write a paper/book.

Everyone has an addiction, some are deemed worse than others though.

ya, the fact that you need it to sleep prolly isn't good.  To test it out you should try to go 30 days without a drink and see how hard it is.  If it's not hard at all you are prolly in the clear.  If you struggle you may be in troubs.  :dunno:

FYI, American Honey is the best breakfast whiskey. I like to put it on pancakes.

guys,

how many of us can make it to the west side p lot before the ucla game. a couple of us were already having an intervention for steve dave there at that time, but i feel like this could potentially be a two birds/one stone thing. thoughts? suggestos?

Is the intervention before or after the nut crushing fight line?  I am confused.

Will there not be a fight line this weekend? :runaway:

Guys,

What is the rule if Steve Dave tries to Ice one of us when we start the intervention?  Do you do the Ice?  What if you have an Ice and you block him?  Do you make the subject of the intervention take the Ice?  Sort of a gray area here, no?  :dunno:

You take the ice. You're not the alcoholic. He is. By taking it from him, you're embodying the interventionist spirit of taking fun away from his life. As a good friend that loves him. Also, pat him down and take away any other ices and distribute them accordingly.

I'm not going to make it to Manhattan, unfortunately.  I'll probably get Pakd in KC/JoCo.

What do you do for a living? Do you ever drink during your lunch break/before you go to work? Have you ever drank on the job? How often do you drink and drive? Do you ever call in sick so you can drink instead of work?

Do you ever get hangovers?

Answer these questions and I think I can tell you without a doubt what phase of alcoholism/being a deadbeat/loser you are.

You should try this.  Actually just try 7 days.  If you can get through the weekend without coming up with a lame excuse to drink (football game)you're probably not a total drunk.  Out of curiosity, how many times within the last 3 months have you woke up from a bender and sworn 'you were done' getting hammered? 

If you're unable to stop here's some good news for you, well, and me.

I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

No DUI's.  I probably black crap out twice a week though.  I pretty much spend my life getting shitfaced and getting it on w/ waitresses and bartenders.  I wake up and see texts from girls about the date we have planned and I have no recollection of even asking.  I'm having a good time but I'm starting to get concerned.  

If it aint broke don't fix it.   :drink:

What if drinking is the only thing you really want to accomplish that night?

according to a new study, alcoholics outlive nondrinkers.
