At what point would you consider yourself a drunk?

when i find all the gals sitting around me stunning.

When my eyes are bloodshot red.

alchohol is a solution until it causes more problems than it solves

I don't drink but I would think if you are asking yourself the question than you are a drunk.

Got em both in the family tree drunks and alcoholics, don't know which is sadder...

BTW, My opinion is an alcoholic hides it and a drunk has end tables built out of beer cases.

when I can't stand alone and puke a lot.

I know I have a problem but it seems that I am substituting alcohol for companionship.

Since my divorce I've had some really bad luck at dating again. I am thinking that I might be to that point where I am giving up on finding someone. I don't want to give up but the energy is no longer there. I find it harder and harder to approach women for a date.

I've dealt with crazy ones, lying ones, cheating ones and even a bi-polar one.

I just seems easier to come home take care of what little chores I have then go and zone out over a case of beer or a bottle of bourbon.

On a serious note - and given some very valid replies - no-one can understand your current circumstances and how you're dealing with them. Be careful - and joking aside - speak to a professional about the position you're in and the 'problem'.

In the UK we have access to AA (alcoholics anonymous) - NHS (national health service) and other support groups - you may have the same. They will generally not treat you as a drunk but an individual - it is up to you how you categorise yourself. If indeed you seriuosly think you have a problem - do something about it now. It looks as though you have already reached a conclusion.

Speaking from experience - it is easy to use all the problems you have and 'hit the bottle' to eliminate them. It might be the short term answer - but i think you are looking at the longer term - so act now.

Take care, B

definitely drinking alone, or drinking more than 50% of days imo

As a dane i prefer not to answar any questions about the holy drink called beer... ..But as u see below.We start early and that's what keeps us alive and well...Cheers..

is it bad that i stop standing, feel weak, and start puking when i haven't had anything to drink that day?

i ndon't drink that much but know when im starting to cross that line, as in the past my mates have had to stop me from talking to lets just say larger women.

I think drink brings out a fat lady fetish that i have deep down inside me lol, and to think i have a gf and she's slim.

When I can't lay on the sidewalk without holding on.

when i start believing i'm trying hold a lampost up to keep it from falling over

Hic! What wass the question again - I knocked my glass of plonk over the keyboard......

when i reply to this thread for the second time, thats when i know i've had 10 pints and 5 shots of JD, and i know i'm drunk, surprisingly i still have somewhat decent internet grammatical correctness
