I don’t get that drunk but am I still considered an alcoholic?
No. I workout and run every day so I don’t think i’ll be getting a beer gut any time soon marchcal.
Well kelzbelz I’m usually a happy guy when I drink, but today I was in kind of a bad mood. Nothing too serious though.
Drinking a 6 pack every night and not getting drunk means you have a high tolerance for alcohol, which is an indication for alcoholism.
The brain chemistry of an alcoholic changes over time. Blackouts occur only in people whose brain chemistry has changed over a period of time due to drinking. When I was going through rehab, they asked us this:
1) Do you every think about alcohol or talk to co-workers or friends about alcohol when sober?
2) Have you ever had a blackout?
If you answer yes to either of these 2 questions, you are an alcoholic.
Doctors recommend that men drink no more than 2 drinks in a 24 hour period (one drink = one 12 ounce beer, 4 ounce glass of wine or a 2 ounce mixed drink or a shot). Woman should drink to more than one drink per 24 hour period. Anything over this is an indication of alcoholism.
Do you need a certificate?….
people can say what they want…. i drink every nite until i have a buzz. but your only an alcoholic is alcohol causes a problem in your life. such as bills, beat your wife, something like that
lots of people drink a six pack OR MORE everynight. i dont think its about the amount of alcohol u drink its more about the amount and what you do afterwards. when it starts affecting your work, family, and relationships then u know that you have a problem
The definition of an alcoholic varies in different places and cultures. For example, some countries define you as an alcoholic if you consume more than 2 standard drinks a night for 3 consecutive nights (and again, a “standard” drink varies from country to country). Other countries might define you as an alcoholic only if you consume to the point of uncontrollable and offensive behaviour.
But the general consensus is that an alcoholic is someone who drinks and continues drinking without regard to the fact that it is causing health problems and negative social consequences.
Maybe the best way to see if you are an alcoholic is to ask why you are drinking a 6-pack every night and your behaviour when tipsy.
Might be good for you to stop; the 6-pack mustn’t be doing much for your liver or brain cells, and you could develop a beer gut.
Bonafide and Certified. Your license is in the mail.
I wouldn’t think your an alcoholic, people are so quick to label people with that these days.
Do you just drink it for the simple pleasure of enjoying some beers every night, or have you become reliant on it? Do you become violent, aggressive or moody when drinking? If no and your just a happy, beer-loving drinker then why not. My hubby has a few beers every day after work and he ain’t an alcoholic!
certified no. alcoholic yes if you cant do with out it especially. you dont have to get drunk to be an alcoholic.
Guy that is breakfast .
i am 39 years old and my mom calls me an alcoholic. but you are not considered an alcoholic if you still live with your mom… i live in my moms basement….she buys all my beer, but its ok because she drinks with me. she’s cool.
No…
It’s only when you wake up and grab a beer…or drink before 5 pm on weekdays, that you are an alcoholic…
Me?!?
I’ll drink whenever I damn well please…yay yeah!
Ha!
Amateur…
if you are one, then i am one too
No, Your fine, I drink on average a case a day, I consider myself a drunk, Alcoholics go to meetings….
No.
You like your beer. There’s nothing wrong with that. I myself like to down a six pack and more of an evening.
It might, however, be a good idea to take at least one night off a week to rest for health purposes. I find that I start to emit lager smell from my pores when I drink that much every night. We should take into account how our associates at work the next morning might react to such odours.
Anyway, you’re no alcoholic.
its bullshit really maybe cut down a bit but aslong as ur health and work are in check then lol nah u can just handle a fair amount of booze :P
yes.. drinking alchol every day with such consumption is already tagged as alcoholic. I guess you need to work with it before its too late hence alcohol can bring harmful complications to your body.
There is no such thing as a certified alcoholic.
