Am i an alcoholic?

Question

Am i an alcoholic?
I dont think Im an alcoholic as i dont want a drink every day but I go out every weekend and cant remember the last time i didnt roll home in drunk. Now I have black outs and people tell about humiliating things i did while drunk which i have absolutely no recollection of. Its not affecting work but i often miss other things i have planned because im too hung over. Im thinking of trying AA but not sure if it will help. How can I change my lifestyle without losing all my friends? When i try to drink less people always pressure me and wonder why. Lots of my friends behave in eactly the same way and it doesnt seem to worry the but even a few friends have voiced concern about my drinking now. Im and have a stressful job and am living abroad.

Answer

Know your limit and stop drinking at that point.brbrAvoid shorts, as they can kill you alcohol poisoning and you can consume way way too much in a short time and theyre expensive, stick to lager and beer then you have something to drink for longer and you will have to go to the loo before you get near a critical level of alcohol.brbrIf you drink every day and find it hard not to I know i do then youre beginning to get to the point where you could have a problem if you dont reign it in. brbrBlack outs is way too much and very dangerous as you could get mugged or worse.brbrDrink some water with it.brbrStuff your friends if they want to kill you.
