Too Much Alcohol?

- Start date
I knew some folks that were alcoholics. And they were bad. And one thing that was told to them to try and help they curve their addiction was: "If you are scheduling days and times of when to drink...it could be a problem".
Your case, doubt it, but who am I to judge.

If you end up home in the evening, and find that you have no wine, beer or scotch, does everything come to a halt as you go to the store to get more? Do you yell at your wife for it being her fault that you're out of everything? If not, if you can go a few days without missing it, if you don't take it out on everyone else around you when you don't have anything to drink, you're probably ok. It is a lot, but I know people who drink a lot more and they aren't alcoholics.
That being said, you do have a problem, and it is a serious one: you're mixing the grape and the grain. You never mix the grape and the grain. If you start with wine, you don't switch to beer and scotch. And vice-versa. They've written songs about how bad stuff can get when you mix the grape and the grain.
And _never_ mix up some Jitter Sauce. "Whiskey and wine, and gin to thin."

If you are counting it means you think you have a problem, that says enough.
You're what's known as a habitual drinker. Your overall intake is not dangerous.
Everybody will tell you something different I'm sure. I think if you're drinking every night then you have a problem, but who am I to judge? I have plenty of friends who drink a six pack or more a night and seem to function just fine.
Just because they function Ok doesn't mean it's not a problem.
Mythbusters busted that one.
This.
When my uncle got his DUI the trooper pulled him over for missing a weigh station and hitting prairie dog in his semi.
It's only binge drinking if you stop :beer:
i know every beer/wine/liquor store clerk in a 20 mile radius by first name. you will be ok.
Don't ask people online. Ask family/friends/a counselor. If you think it may be a problem and you are subconsciously feeling guilty about it, it probably is. If you need the scotch to sleep, try a few days without it (and without substituting for pills, etc.).
The quantity or frequency is irrelevant. I've known people that took two glasses of wine a night and were alcoholics and people that could put away damn near a bottle of liquor and weren't - the way we all metabolize it is very different.
