thefensarefarbutistillgo 2,607 Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 How many people on here drink nearly every single night of the week ? And if so if being completely honest wonder if they are alcoholics, I’m not sure how you would define an alcoholic and who decides who is or isn’t. I drink mostly every night, usually around 3 x 440ml cans of Stella sometimes 2 cans sometimes 4 cans and more on the weekend but also have a night or 2 not drinking now and again and sometimes a week off. I just like a few beers after work every night to chill out, does this mean I’m an alcoholic , surely only having around 2 and a half pints (3x440ml cans) a night isn’t a problem or is it ?

Bakerboy 4,736 Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 I go months without touching a drop of alcohol, if someone is drinking more days than they're having off I'd say theres a level of dependancy even tho it would be mild 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 27,687 Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Drinking for me is a sociable thing, I like a good drink in good company, definitely a binge drinker, and struggle with the end of night off switch, if the music and craic is good I enjoy watching the sun come up! .. No way could I drink everyday, and have no interest in having a couple of pints each night, rather have a cuppa.. Each to their own though, I'm no one to judge for sure Edited June 26, 2023 by NEWKID 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
