No normal person likes vodka, enjoy being an alcoholic.

to me an alcoholic is someone that can't go a day without drinking and people who have 1 drink and physically can't stop untill they are black out drunk. if you can stop after having a coiple drinks and you don't drink every day your just like every other kid your age that drinks.

I suppose. But I've known people who never were into drinking until they went to college...They've turned into completely different people.

I'd hate to find out what my former roommate is if you're an alchie. the kid would have gone through a 30 pack and handle bars, mixed with all sorts of rainbow bills and herbal products of the illegal stature through the weekend. He clearly was fighting some demons.

What is a rainbow bill? Honest question here.. I have no idea..

This. A lot of my friends who started drinking in college had a much more difficult time controlling it and ended up getting much more crazy, it's like if they drinking in high school it made them more mature (Drinking-wise) somehow.

ugh those people. the people who get at me the most are the sorority girls who join one and within a year of being a freshman they're a "connosieur" on all types of alchohol and drinking.

kids these days

I definitely think drinking when you're younger makes you more responsible with it when you're older. You get all of the pukes and blackouts out of your system by the time you're of age.

As for this thread, how drunk does that 8-16oz get you? Is it just a buzz to get the edge off? I agree with ChristianLFTW, you should try to quit for a week or two and see what happens.

I agree. It's really stupid.

I've easily gone longer than that without drinking. It was no big deal.

I don't have to ask. I'm only defending myself from accusations because I don't think I am one.

That's what I figured too. I took it anyway and it said I may or may not be.

Can I ask what makes you think that?

Social anxiety. Which is not why I drink by the way. I'm seeing a therapist/taking medication, and I should be out in about 6 months.

I don't think youre an alcoholic but I have also seen therapists for social anxiety and I'm curious about what your medication is and if you think its helping.

If you're an alcoholic, then everyone i know is an alcoholic.

Haha, I dunno, I can get hammered 3 days a week during college and then barely drink all summer (like once a month). I don't think that makes me an alcoholic if I can stop so easily?
