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

You are a professional. One of my guys told me one day that his grandfather drank a handle a day, every day. I was like DAYUM!

I don't see how that's possible. Impressive but I'd like to see it in practice.

I worked with a guy who would drink a 12 pack of beer every night M-F and a 24 pack every Saturday and Sunday. He was very open about his functional alcoholism. He said he had gotten to the point where the 12 pack would just give him a slight buzz. He looked forward to the weekends when he could put down 24 and actually get drunk.
