Do i have a drinking problem?

9 Comments

I bought a bottle of overproof rum the other day because I like to buy shit that's cheap and strong. My mom asked me why I bought something so abrasive and I told her straight up: I don't drink because it tastes good, I drink to get drunk. She then accused me of having a drinking problem. I always make sure to carefully measure my alcohol consumption and have maybe 6 drinks a month on average. (1 drink=50 mls of hard liquor) I'm a big lightweight so I don't need to have much to feel an effect. I also found out last night that 1 shot of overproof rum is enough to get me smashed. It was awful.

      This XD

      To get smashed, I'd have to drink a bottle of hard liquor, then a bunch of beers and then half a bottle of whiskey.

    If you aren't physically dependent and you don't gave negative consequences as a result, you're fine. It just sounds like you're an efficient shopper

    If I were your parent, I'd be much more concerned about you saying that you liked the taste of alcoholic drinks.

    If you're being honest about your level of consumption, I don't see you as having a problem. Like any drug, alcohol can become a problem when it has a negative impact on your health and the rest of your life. If a drug becomes something you must have in order to function reasonably well, then you're dependent, and that's always a serious problem.

    Most people enjoy getting a little high now and then, and shifting out of their normal mindset. I see nothing wrong with that. Alcohol is a toxin, and there's no level of consumption that's totally safe; it always causes some damage to various organs, but most healthy people can recover from that fairly quickly, so getting a little drunk now and then isn't a terrible thing to inflict on your body.

    Getting pissed on one large drink is a sign of a non drinker!

    It's weird to want to just drink cheap liquor just to get drunk. Are you trying to escape some uncomfortable truth in your life? Are you self-medicating, and trying to drown out your feelings?

    Your mother probably dislikes the point of your drinking rather than the amount you consume.

    I drink to get drunk. But I since I dont have a reason to get drunk I dont drink at all.

    Binge drinking is bad but since you are a lightweight I suppose any high proof drink would make it a binge night.
