I have zero drinks during the week, and on the weekend.
I do not binge every weekend.
I do not consider myself an alcoholic and feel that NOT drinking will affect me POSITIVELY in years to come.
I do however get annoyed when people think that i must be bored with my life coz i don’t drink. It is possible to have fun and not drink damnit!
I tend to drink a few times a year.
I think more than 6 drinks is defined as binging for me, which I have done, but only a few times.
I don’t consider myself to be an alcoholic.
Binge drinking is supposed to affect you long term by causing permanent damage each time. That’s something I want to avoid. Limiting my drinking is better for my health in several ways. I exercise a fair bit, so I’m happy not to have all those extra calories to burn off. Plus, it saves me a lot o’ cashola!!
I’m not dependent on alcohol to have fun. Any loss of inhibition I may desire can be realised by knowing that people generally just ASSUME I’m drunk when I’m out anyway

Pops, I would think it more likely that someone WOULD drink because they’re bored with their life
Damn, I feel like the devil after reading this thread.
I have a scotch or two after dinner roughly 3 times a week.
I would have about 7 scotches on both a friday and a saturday. Very rarely less than that but sometime more. Shots etc.
Need to really cut down. Can’t be good for me.
I know Klassic is a drinker, I am sure that I am not the only one on here that doesn’t mind a drink or 2.
HAHAHAHAHAHA SNITCH

yes i like a drink every now and then, i dont drink every weekend but i do consume major amounts when i do drink, that is not binge drinking it just happens that way, i dont drink durring the week well i may have a beer with the boys but only happens like once every couple months and i end up only having one, so no im not a alcoholic but i do like a drink or ten every now and then
have a glass or two of wine atleast three times a week, about a bottle or two on the weekends when just having dinners etc.
With work I have to go to lunches alot- so add a couple of glasses for lunchtimes about two times a week (more in races/christmas period..which starts now..)
Weekends going out I drink more stronger alcohols- but rarely get to the point of drunkeness.
I think most ppl do go through phases of drinking and non-drinking. As long as your have control and awareness of the amount of alcohol your choosing to consume it can be ok.
Friends that don’t drink I don’t find boring or have no life- nor do I think I’m boring as I choose to drink at social occasions.....all based more on personalities really..
lol yeah Poppa, aha but no one believes me from my photos on facebook which appear to be me, drunk and on drugs wildin’ out ahah but yeah nah, never touched a drop of alcohol all my life. Plan to keep it that way.
ive stopped drinking every weekend now and i feel great, prob get down to 1 or 2 jw blacks and thats it for the weekend

we use to buy jw black bottles at the club between 2 or 3 of us
Dont usually touch alcohol from Sunday - Wednesday. Will have a scotch or two on a Thursday, but rarely more.
Fridays and Saturdays, im usually driving, so will rarely have more than 2 -4 over the course of the night, depending on how long im out for. I used to drink to the point of drunkenness more frequently, but have only been drunk once in the past couple of months.
I dont consider myself an alcoholic or a binge drinker.
I’ve reduced my levels of drinking for the same reasons as i’ve quit smoking… i realise i can have fun without them, and that my life doesn’t revolve around depending on them
hehehe
