re: I have a drinking problem that I've refused to acknowledge for years.

I was up to a fifth of vodka a day some days and couldn’t hold a job. I have more DWI’s then I care to admit. 90 day inpatient treatment stay and I’ve now been sober for 22 months. There was no doubt for me and I couldn’t stop on my own to save my life. Be thankful that you e been able to slow down on your own. Alcoholism is progressive so it only gets worse if you’re a true alcoholic. We never get better. Congrats on realizing you have a problem and dosing something about it. I wouldn’t wish what I’ve been through on my worst enemy. Some really really dark times.

Stop drinking crap and enjoy your booze.
That slows me down...a little.

I enjoy drinking and watching TV/movie or working on something. I'm not a big social drinker. I don't go places and put myself at getting plastered in public or at risk. If I do go out, I drink moderately light.
Well it doesn’t sound like much of a drinking problem. Sounds like you are just cheap when you actually want to get drunk, which isn’t often.
Stop drinking jack mixed with coke. You will likely fin a better whiskey that way.

Of course I don't have an actual drinking problem. I'm lamenting my high tolerance for beer. That I enjoy stiff drinks. But my life is moving on and I no longer have time for the booze.
I get heavily buzzed and go to bed. If I find myself drunk, I made a mistake somewhere along the way or I've been roofied.

Dump that bitch by 35. It won't change.
Or just hide it from her, forgiveness is easier than permission.
Women don't know what a real drinking problem is... They are the problem.

Instead of drinking, may you should quit breathing. Then we all win.

Do you go from what seems to be sober, to totally smashed...?
I have a friend who is an alcoholic, when he drinks he's fine until he hits the limits per say, then it's like he's totally smashed... No buzz whatsoever, just to a point to where he's totally fricked up...

Ditch the coke. Caffeine can mask a buzz of a certain amount of time.

Budweiser and jack Daniels
I bet you're the most popular guy in the trailer park

My wife told me she thought I should stop drinking every night when I get home from work.
I usually have a scotch or two. Or maybe a gin or vodka martini.
So I stopped completely for a 3 work days/nights and by day 4, she was pouring the drink for me
It calms me down after a stressful day at work and I'm a lot more pleasant to be around.

Well my side gig is CFO of a company with almost 1,000 employees so that helps my street cred

I was always like that. A true Dr Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde. When my drinking hit a different level though, I started drinking for total blackout. Every single time I drank. I truly believe that if I set out to have a beer this afternoon, I’d be found passed out drunk somewhere this evening. It sucks, because I do miss having a drink with friends but it just progressed way past that.

i'm in the 15 range for a good buzz. 24 for the win. if its and all day eat/drink fest after 30 its just water. Then you bust out the funnel.

I can no longer get suitably drunk off regular beer. It takes a minimum 7-8 Budweiser's on an empty stomach to get a solid buzz. It takes 2 triple jack and cokes to get something happening. Well, I call it a triple. Think red solo cup with ice, fill it to about the last fifth and fill with Coke.
But more importantly, I no longer have the energy to try. I am 32 and tired of drinking. I need to dry out. Flush out my liver and get a solid detox so I can afford to drink fiscally responsibly.
I envy all you 2-3 beer and a solid buzz drinkers. Build a tolerance and get back to me.
I only drink once a week now, maybe. Sad stuff folks. I am growing up.

You sound like I used to be. I started out like you. Towards the end I was up to a fifth and a half or so of Vodka a day before I quit everything and went to clean up in Rayville for four months. Get some help. Stop while you're ahead. The resources are out there.
