 alcohol problem...

Alright guys, its about time I post this somewhere!
When ever I drink I zone out. I stop talking to everyone, i dont answer people, its like im in my own world.
I am not violent, im just out of it. I think about my past relationship which lasted a bit over a year and ended pretty bad (broke up with me and started dating one of her """best friends""" around 4 months ago) .... Even while i was with her i used to zone out while i was drunk...
I drink a lot whenever i party.... I drink beer frequently when im at home...
Im thinking I have to stop drinking but im 20 years old.. Its too young to stop but I can see problems arising from this in the future...
Anyone have any comments or thoughts? Thanks

20 isn't too young to stop. Stop and see how you function without it. By the time I was 21 I needed to be detoxed from alcohol I partied way too hard in college. I seriously could drink more than anyone, and I would put my life on the line if I was my old self. I mean I literally had no stopping point. It was nothing for me to chug a pint/fifth of liquor. I funneled a handle of jager, I funneled 6 beers at once, and I funneled beer with everclear on the top with a xanax bar dropped in. I mean I may have been more wild than you, but still man quit for awhile and see how you feel. If you feel like you need it, and want it, its a sure sign that you might be on your way to having a problem. People say that its about willpower...I believe it to a certain degree because I don't hardly drink anymore, but at the same time if I wouldn't have been detoxed I would have be shit out of luck.

Thanks for the replys..
Xanax on top... WOW!
Im not sure if i have to stop completely. Ive had relationship problems before because I would get really drunk at parties and argue..
Maybe moderation will help but I don't now if i have the will power to keep my drinking limited.

Exactly. Try to moderate, and if you can't then thats not a good sign. I found that to completely stop drinking for a little over a year, and learn to live your life as you should makes drinking much less of a priority. After I quit for a year, and went out and got drunk for the first time I was like now why did I cause so many problems for this? My life is way too fucking good to throw it away for this shit. I did the same thing I had a girl that I should have married. I mean she was perfect, and saw me for who I was. I did so many things to hurt her, and when we broke up my drinking got really bad. But you know she moved on to better things, and I could have too but moped around drinking. Look man you're young(I'm not much older but I have some experience), and you will find other girls.
Let me put it this way...If it was meant to be, it will. I moved away for 1 year, quit drinking, got my shit together, and moved back to start school again. Guess what when I came back guess who was there for me??? The girl I treated so poorly. Now her parents wouldn't allow us to talk, and were very straight forward about that, and I finally said that we couldn't keep trying to hide it...That she needed to listen to her parents. Did it hurt? Fuck yea man. The thing is I know she is happy now, and I feel like I did the right thing. Letting someone go shows how much you care for them...In certain instances that is. Just some insight. I'm starting my trip about now, and so that probably made no fucking sense but fuck off. Peace.

I'm the same way man. It's hard as fuck to stop drinking, and when I keep drinking things can get real problematic for me. I typically turn into a complete fucking asshole when I'm real shitty drunk, and then wake up trying to repair all the damage I caused the night before

Eh, well I've got the genetic background for it which is such a pain in the ass. But hey, I got red hair so I guess it's a trade off

I say good for you for not just ignoring this.
More and more I dislike the effects of alcohol. It does to me what you describe... I zone out, I don't feel like I can relate to others very well. I lose my ability to keep my thoughts in perspective. It tends to make me depressed now, and often I wish I had never had more than one or two drinks.
I recognize this as a problem but I have not fully addressed it yet.
The more I drink the more I wonder why alcohol is such a popular drug. If I pay attention to the feelings in my body while I drink, it feels like my body wants to reject it. The physical sensations are not good -- queasiness, tiredness, bloating, upset stomach -- but I continue to sip it because I know from experience that those bad feelings will eventually be smothered by the alcohol. It's like the alcohol makes some sort of promise to me: keep drinking and any reservations about it will go away, whatever they are.
I suppose I still drink from time to time because I am afraid I will not want to be around my friends if they are drinking and I am not. And I don't have any friends who don't drink. Tomorrow I am going to go camping without alcohol even though I know everyone else will be drinking, and I'll just see what happens. It's actually kind of intimidating, which only underscores the fact that there is a problem.

The good, compared to the evil which he sees, is as his own good to his own evil.

Thanks for all the replies guys!
Do you guys know why we have this problem.. I dont know how it feels to be drunk and be in a good mood anymore, in fact, now it does the opposite.
Im scared there is some 'in vinos veritas' (popular latin phrase for 'in wine there is truth') in this.. is this happening to me because i am depressed? and alcohol brings that out? I wouldnt consider myself depressed but ive always had self esteem issues, recent break up (4months ago but it was pretty bad), and i consider myself slightly less happier than the average person...
any input on why we get this way?

Quit drinking before it leads to some horrible shit. Which if your zoning out and shit it will. Trust me I know. I was the same way. By the time i was 20 it was to late. Lost years of my life over that bullshit.It really aint worth it.jAyYyY And bro women come a dime a dozen wouldnt let no female mess your head up I m sure there is more important things to mess it up.
