Does going out every weekend (friday and saturday) and getting drunk make me an alcoholic? Most weekends i get just straight shit train wrecked both days in a row. Some days just on friday. Is this an very unhealthy thing to do? Should i be worried about it and stop?
S J M, I’m 19 and live in canada. I’ve been partying like this for about 3 years now.
Yes, without a doubt you are well on your way to becoming an alcoholic, if you are not already there. The big thing you need to determine is if you can just go without drinking at all…if you can, say, go for a weekend with no drinking, and you aren’t climbing the walls, that is a good thing.
If, however, you find yourself missing it, craving it, thinking about it constantly, you may have a problem. The best thing you can do for yourself is to give up alcohol for a bit–to see if you can. Also, talk to your doctor….have some kidney and liver function tests run–they are simple blood tests, and will tell you if you have any damage from such heavy alcohol use.
Hopefully, you will be fine, and can begin a more healthy lifestyle that includes other weekend activities besides drinking!
no, it makes you a child you”ll learn or die an alcoholic, but probably you will learn to take it easy did you just turn 21? is it peer pressure? try to find out why
your simply a binge drinker..not real good, but not exactly an alcoholic either, id say if your in college, then no big deal
More like a binge drinker (which IS a big deal) as it takes a lot longer to get out of
your system + recover from than reasonable amounts on a more reasonable basis.
Please control yourself, humans are not like cats, we only have one life not nine !!
