I was born an alcoholic. I cannot control my drinking. Don't assume that your experiences are uniform with everyone else's

Sometimes I wonder if I'm an alcoholic, but I don't think I am, I just love alcohol a little too much.
Straight alcoholism is where you literally can't stop drinking once you start, right?

I'd say it's when you begin to damage yourself and your relationships through your drinking.

One is too many, fifteen is not enough. Plus alcohol turns me into a completely different person. So I don't drink anymore, I don't need to wind up in jail.
And alcoholism is when drinking starts negatively interfering with your life. There are many different forms, a lot of people have the mental image that an alcoholic is a bum drinking mad dogg in the gutter. Not always true. I'm 22, well off and in school, but I'm an alcoholic all the same.

A nonalcoholic never wonders if they are alcoholic.

I always felt like it amplifies people's personalities. I'm never the kind of person to just pick a fight, but I do talk a lot. Therefore, when I get drunk, I sometimes say stupid things that I'll regret later to be the center of attention for a little bit. Likewise, I've got a friend that's a hot head but is not usually aggressive when sober. Give him a bottle tho and he picks fights for the dumbest reasons. It brings out the traits thhat are already there by reducing your inhibitions.
And yeah when you get down too it we're all just monkeys

You're probably right about that.
I just wonder if abstaining from alcohol for the rest of my life is really the best course of action available to me.

I've always wondered about this.. I've never experienced specific emotions in relation to different types of beverages.. Unless just pissed off and disappointed if I'm drinking something cheap and nasty. I wonder if there is any validation to these claims.

It's hard to let go of alcohol, man. I went without for a few months last year, and I felt fucking amazing. I was happy all the time, I was getting unbelievable amounts of thangs done, and I didn't even have to give up the really good drugs like pot and psychedelics. Then I started drinking again and well, didn't stop.
This is making me want to try to quit again. I just don't want to go to AA or make any guarantees that I'll never drink again.

Well shoot me a PM if you ever want to talk about it. All I can say is that for me, I have a choice between alcohol and living the life that I want to. There is no middle ground for me. It's all fun and games until you get too drunk and wind up in jail

Both. If I get drunk enough it's possible for me to get mad for almost no reason. Doesn't happen every time though.

Yeah, but I believe that the thing that alcohol enhances are already there. For example I have never been aggressive on alcohol. But fears that I could usually have sober (like walking home alone at 5 am) I never had while drunk, that fucking stupid idea that if someone attacks you, you can take them all lol, ego boost for sure.

Honestly I dont like alcohol. Being drunk is nice. That said, alcohol tastes like shit in my opinion. I hate my head spinning when I'm trying to sleep. I hate hangovers. I hate the tipping point from being nice drunk to oh fuck I'm going to vomit. Its expensive in comparison to other drugs.
I still drink it though. Only because its socially accepted.

I don't know man, I can get a half gallon of cheap vodka for less than $20 here... It's pretty cheap, but I hate a lot of things about alcohol as well.

Anyone else think alcoholism and genetics is bullshit? My father is an alcoholic, my mother is an alcoholic (but only when she doesnt have pills to use), and my entire mothers side is heavy drinkers.
Once i noticed effects from alcohol I didnt like I stopped. Pure and simple, mind over matter, common sense, cause and effect
BUT WAIT LET ME GUESS!.......its skipped a generation
