more this. Waste $15-$25....and you don't feel the effects? Might as well drink water and be the Desig.driver....takes at least 3 beer before I start to feel anything.

It's not really at Bars(10pm-1am), it's the all day events that have me questioning(admitting) that something's wrong with my ability to control my intake. My pacing is for a few hours of drinking, when the time gets more than that I go overboard.

Same for me. I don't see the point of only having 2-3 beers and stopping. I'd rather just not drink at all and not feel bloated or tired after a couple so that's the choice I make.

Because you're drunk, not because you're an alcoholic. If you're planning on making perfect life decisions after drinking 10 beers then I don't know what to tell you. Are you an a-hole to people you like, do you ruin relationships while drunk, do you have the urge to get in a vehicle and joy ride while drunk, do you miss work in the morning...those are reasons to think you're on the wrong track. If you just continue to drink, or like to sing, or turn into a wild dancer...or any other harmless thing then you are in fact just drunk. You just have post party depression, it a good thing.

Your problem is with self control, not with alcohol.

How old are you? If you can't see why people enjoy a glass of wine or a couple of beers socially you most likely have a problem ie. you have to get fricked up all the time.

This is totally normal. Drinking all day gets you shite housed. It's not for everybody.

I sometimes drink because I like the taste. Weird I know, but I - on very rare occasions - drink alcohol without the intent of "feeling it".

rather blame a product than myself, thanks.

but seriously, blowing hundreds this weekend on alcohol. I just rather quit if it's costing me money and a serious issue for my safety.

Do you think you have an addictive personality, as also are you a workaholic? This is my case.Though I have to say I always took care of my responsibilities as a husband and father. Whatever money was left over supported my addictions. So I never gained a big savings for emergency situations or took smaller vacations instead of extravicant ones. So, in that way I feel I let down my family.

If you can't afford to spend a couple hundred on alcohol but you do it anyway then that is a problem

Baton Rouge has an alcohol problem in general. Most people's activities revolve around the idea that you have to be drunk to do it.

You woke up in a cemetery. Did you have any idea how you got there? Did you drive? Did you lose your wallet, keys, etc?

Blackouts are a problem. Eat before you drink. Chug some water every 2-3 beers. Control it or it will control you.
