Ever have a drinking problem?

I have had my problems with drinking and have come mercilessly close to being an alcoholic. I was arrested for drunk driving twice in May 2001 and January 2002. Didn't get into any accidents, but I was pulled over for swerving and driving too slow. After the second arrest, my license was suspended for a year (I was lucky to have my ex-wife around to take me to and from work, and wherever else I needed to go...but by the end, she'd grow tired of having to be my chauffeur), had to go to AA and do community service. Had to have sponsors and personal written recommendations when it was time to go to court and plead to get my license back. When I finally was able to drive again, for another 6 months I had to blow into a breathalyzer tube to get the car to start. Worse was at red lights because whenever I braked, I had to blow into it again. That was embarrassing at times. Being at drive thru's and having to blow into that fucking tube (which sometimes for whatever reason wouldn't cooperate and the car wouldn't start). But I learned a humbling lesson. Don't drink anywhere near as much as I did a decade ago.

Anyways...test yourself with this.

I got drunk the other night for the first time in like three years. I'm not much of a drinker, despite alcoholism running on both sides of my family. Had an uncle who died of psoriasis of the liver. Neither of my parents are alcoholics, but when they do drink, they get toasted, big time.

Me, I really don't have much of a taste for alcohol. Out in public, I have to MAKE myself drink, or else I'll basically nurse a glass and a half the whole night.

I am not a big drinker and I don't get drunk off my ass, I have here and there but I have not done that in a long time.

I answered no to all the questions. I'm a social drinker. And yeah, I do get twisted when I want, but I'm not the type that HAS to drink every time I go out. And I'm not the type to drink by myself when I'm feeling lonely or depressed on any of that stuff. I have a bottle of V.S.O.P Hennessy right here in my room that I haven't finished it yet. Think I'm gonna up my "special gentlemen friend" tonight.

. You are truly one of a kind. I've never seen a "stripper" who demands their tips, lol. And I was gonna make it rain too if you would've just taken the dollar.

I drink on occasion; from time to time, I might get a little 'lit,' but I haven't gotten drunk in years.

I scored a 0. I only drink with the crowd. It's never my idea to go out for liquor and I totally hate the taste of beer (pee water.)


I'm more of a pot guy anyway! :face:
