uh - what?

Alcoholism is a progressive disease. Plenty of alcoholics are able to go cold turkey for days, months and even years. But then something happens - a tragedy, a whim, anything and they are back in the bottle, usually worse then before.

If you have any doubts about your own condition, I recommend that you go to an AA meeting (or 10) and listen to the people share their stories. Try not to drink the whole time you are doing it, and see if any of what they talk about seems to apply to you.

Only you can decide if you are an alcoholic.

i was never much of a drinker. the more i think about it, i rarely drink just to drink, but i do primarily in social situations

it's the cool thing to do occasionally with friends and coworkers :\

What you say it's true.I had in emergency once a patient like this.He was an alcoolic ; he went through detoxifiation , he remained clean for years, then all of the sudden he drank 3 days in a row, without an apparent reason.

The thing I was talking about is used in our departament of Psichiatry.We have a little difereces between systems i guess.

I average about 24 beer a week, I use to average about 6 a night during the week, then about 24 beer on the weekend. mmmm beer
