you missed the point brother. He is asking why I dont drink more. THAT's the problem, not the binge drinking

Guy gets drunk 10 times a year on the weekend and it's a problem now? Really?

of course you do. why the fuck arent you enjoying in moderation at least some other days of the year?

should read "i do not have a glass of wine with dinner" but dickwad doesn't allow post editing. Probably because of pinbacks drinking.

So question I'm 38 and I binge drink. Is that a form of alcoholism?

I drink at most 10 days a year. Probably 8 random times on a Friday or Saturday night with my friends at a bar or playing poker.

Then I go on a vacation every summer and drink 2 nights in a row.

On these nights I get absolutely bombed. 12-14 beers minimum over 4 hours. Then rum and shots rest of night.

On vacation probably 20 beers from 10am to 8pm then go out to bars and drink hard liquor.

However the other 355 days of the year, I do not touch alcohol. Do you have a glass of wine with dinner. Do not drink a beer when I get home from work etc. Not one drink.

So stone cold 100% sober 355 days a year. Near black out drunk the other 10.

Besides the incredible hangover and shakes the next morning I don't feel regret. Maybe 1 out of the 10 times I do or say something dumb while hammered.

Do I have a drinking problem?

He's joking, right?

Yeah, he's joking.

But there's still that little shimmer of doubt that's preventing me from doing a really funny wife joke.

Did she take the little green clown car?

Should we all pitch in a few bucks to buy Pinner a month supply of naltrexone? Do we care enough to help our friend in need?!

I didn't write either of these:

Did you hear about the guy who went to a Gambler's Anonymous meeting and offered 10-1 odds that they couldn't stop?

There was a professional pilot who was an alcoholic and had trouble going to Alcoholcs Anonymous meetings. He found, however, that it always helped if he had a couple of stiff belts before going to a meeting.

How would you describe yourself when drunk? Happy? Sad? Angry? Garrulous? Withdrawn? Combination? None of the above?

I've noticed alcohol provides a bit of levity and giddiness, but in general it just magnifies any emotions you might be feeling. This is especially true with a strong drunk: alcohol doesn't "make you do" anything, alcohol just shuts off the filter that stops you from acting like an unthinking animal in polite society. The "mean drunk" wants to punch everybody he meets, but his consciousness tells him that there are consequences. 6 tequila shots later that filter is NOT monitoring one's actions and breaking a pint glass over someone's head for bumping you is the result.

I feel this is alcohols great blessing and curse. Other drugs just create a certain mood. Alcohol amplifies whatever mood you have, and your mood can change quickly.

Seriously, I'll shut up now, until I have to call Dr. Tacos an asshole again.
