re: If I personally kill a couple fifths of liquor a week, am I a drunk?

I think there are about 17 shots in a fifth. 2 fifths = 34 shots. Almost 6 shots a day if you take one day off.

If you drink 5 days a week, that's just shy of 7 shots per day. Assuming that you work, you don't start until after 5. So if one of the days your drinking is a work day, then you're drunk.

And if your drunk more than a few times a week, you're a drunk.

Now, are you an alcoholic? Can you quit? Does it negatively affect your life?
