I've started to drink every weekend.
I guess that means yes, I am. |

My days and bar tending almost killed my drinking. Seeing people like that...meh. I don't need that in my life.
I enjoy a few every now and then...get drunk maybe once a month. Thats just not my life anymore. |

Do I sit at home and get hammered? - No
When I go out to bars and clubs do I like to get shots and get hammered - Of course. Though I am starting to grow out of that phase. Never thought I would, but I can tell I kinda am. Partially because of my job. Used to go out all the time during the weekdays. But waking up at 7am feeling like shit kinda cured me of that habbit. Used to party hard til 4am all the time. Now I get exhausted around 130 or so......depending on what's going on, and thats on the weekends. So I dont know where that would put me at. |

I drink a lot on the weekends only. I don't drink at all during the work week. I love beer. It doesn't affect my job or family. If that makes me a lush, then that's fine. if not, then all the better. I guess, in all seriousness, it makes me a binge drinker. There, self diagnosis.

I'm similar to ziggisocki and Dane. I'm a fairly heavy drinker, with low dependencey and no spillover into the rest of my life. I enjoy drinking and think of it as a reward for when my day's work is finished. I drink mostly at home, spread it out over several hours, never get "hammered" and can control it.
That said, I decided on the morning of July 13 that I've been drinking too much. Mostly worried about irreversible health effects like liver and CNS damage. I decided on that day that I was going to limit myself to 1000 drinks per year, distributed however I want. That is almost 3 drinks a day, which would be a significant drop in consumption for me -- like I said, I've been drinking too much. That flexibility of having a large number of drinks to manage over a long period of time was important to me so that I never feel like I couldn't have a drink if I want it. Limiting myself to 3 drinks a day or 20 drinks per week was not appealing. But 1000 drinks in 1 year seemed like it would allow me to have freedom, while still helping me to significantly drop my consumption. Beginning on July 13, I've been religiously measuring every drink with a shot glass and recording them on a spreadsheet. This ritual keeps me focused on my goal since I am a quantitative person. I've had 34 drinks in the last 18 days, which puts me on a pace for about 700 for the year. On my highest day I had 6 and on several days I've had none, and haven't felt deprived. I have a column that shows me how many drinks I can have today while staying on pace for my 1000 for the year. Today I can have 18 drinks and still be on pace. I won't drink anywhere near that many, but I like to watch that column grow. Actually, I want to have a decent bank built up for holidays, vacation and the like. Maybe by the end of the year I will have only drank 586 drinks or something. That's fine if that's what happens. But that is not the goal. The goal is 1000. |

There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't consume close to a half rack.
The simple fact I was/am an alcoholic is why I'm in this wheelchair. Now it's once or twice a year when we go up to Seattle for car shows & spend the night. But it's only drinking for that small buzz, not to get plastered. So yes... |
