Really pisses me off.

I could probably be one but i kind of really hate hangovers and i have acid reflux. and the fact that i dont want to be a shitty person.
Blah.

I avoid them like plague. Especially now that I brew my own beer, last thing I need is someone knocking on my door at 2 am on a work night because they know I have 30 gallons of alcohol inside.

I drink every day, but usually not uncontrollably. I have found myself drinking booze that I probably shouldn't take but I always replace it... No families torn apart yet  I am actually a way better person when I've got a little alcohol in my blood, otherwise I don't give a flying fuck what anyone else is about. Get a beer in me and I listen to what you have to say and generally just interact more.

It's easier to make beer and wine in 5 or 10 gallon batches, so my place is always well stocked with booze. I don't mind sharing it freely either, but I'm damn glad that certain people that I cut out of my life haven't learned about my new hobby. I'd have assholes showing up at all hours and wanting to permanently camp on my couch.

Of course, every addict is fine when they got their substance in them. When they don't, on the other hand ...

Not true, I've had to put up with some crazy shit with people blacked out on their substances of choice.

Of course, every kid with ADD is fine when they have they have their medication. When they don't, on the other hand ... Of course, I wake up when I've had my coffee. When I don't, on the other hand ... Of course, I feel really relaxed when I've smoked a little weed. When I haven't, on the other hand ...
I'm addicted to a lot of things dude. When something becomes a problem is when its a problem.

Lots of judgment in this thread Ever consider the possibility these people drank themselves into oblivion because their friends were shitty people themselves?

I consider myself an alkie, but I don't drink out of self-pity, I drink out of boredom and ennui. And yeah I hold things down. I'm getting good grades in school, transferring next year, and I don't drink if I know it will get in the way of things I have to do. I'm actually on a break right now because it's the last couple weeks of school and shit is hectic.
But if the coast is clear then yes, I will get shitfaced, by myself or with friends, every night, and I'd prefer not to be judged for it

Some people need judgement.
I have a friend that's doing several years for vehicular homocide and DWI, if he wouldn't have beaten his first 20 DWI's by using connections and had to suffer some consequences, he might have been forced to get his shit together before he killed someone.

My mom gets drunk everyday and can really be a complete bitch a lot of the time. Of course, in her mind, she isn't an alcoholic, just a "partier"

I'll be the first to admit I'm an alcoholic. I drink for a lot of reasons, but the main one is because I love it.
