At what point does it become alcoholism?

>>24047767 (OP)
When you drink in the morning, for example.

When you drink more than five drinks at an event other than a late-night party
When you drink alone.
When you drink in the morning.

Check one or more.

>When you drink 5 or more drinks at an event other than a late night party
Good thing I throw a late night party every night in my home

>>24047767 (OP)
Anon I too have been asking this, and after 3 nights of blacking out alone and passing out fully clothed, I have come to the conclusion I am an alcoholic.

>>24047780
Not OP, but checked all three.
Even though drinking alone happens rarely, and drinking in the morning even more so.
But, if I could, I would probably do it every day.
Should I seek some sort of help?

Get drunk once a week and give your body 6 days to rest

>>24047778
Never heard of drinking at the beach while getting a tan?

>>24047861
I've heard of heatstrokes.

>>24047767 (OP)
If you have to ask, chances are you're already past that point.

>>24047861
No, I actually enjoy myself while I’m at the beach

i have a question

my bf was an alcoholic ig. this was before we started dating. he said he could drink like 18 beers a night
is that as crazy as it sounds? i dont drink so idk

>>24047926
>is that as crazy as it sounds?
Kinda, but it also depends on what kind of beers he was talking about. Pussy-ass regular beer hardly counts towards crazy.

when you remedy a hangover by drinking

>>24047767 (OP)

when you're on the brink of death, I guess

You guys must be really fat

When you miss real life events/meetings because of alcohol.

>>24047780
>When you drink alone.
Why is this bad? And also does it count as “drinking alone” if I am drinking while on a discord call or stream with friends who are also drinking?

>>24048065
It's not, the guy you replied to is a loser
>>24048059
Correct answer

>>24047767 (OP)
When you can't stop.

>>24048089
What if you can stop, but you just don’t want to stop?

>>24048096
"I don't want to stop" is addict for "I can't stop".

What if it’s light beers/seltzer’s/lemonade/ice teas and not regular beer or liquor?

>>24047767 (OP)
Mild alcoholic here.
I knew it when I drove past a liquor store and, despite having no previous intention of drinking, *wanted* to stop.
Alcoholism is about desire and drive to drink, not the actual drinking.

>>24048059
>When you miss real life events/meetings because of alcohol.
This is a good line in the sand of being a Functional Alcoholic. I've known some functional alcoholics that never miss an appointment but drink every day or get wasted every weekend.

>18 beers a night
>is that as crazy as it sounds? i dont drink so idk
First, a "beer" can be 8 to 16 ounces. So 2 beers can equal 4 beers. Usually, I assume 12 oz.
It depends on the length of time for "a night". I've done that over a long full night and been fine the next day. Drinking 18 beers in a couple hours would wreck me.
For me, 3 or 4 beers is peak buzz. Any more makes me sloppy. It takes an hour to sober 1 drink. Nothing but time will do it. So if I drink 4 beers in the first hour, and one drink and hour for the next five hours, I'll still have 3-4 drinks in me and be fine to talk, not drive. That's 9 beers and being fine. If I then drank 9 beers, I'd be at the same level as if I drank a twelve pack. Which is pretty embarrassing snd annoying, but not drooling on the floor.

It's a lot of beer. I would say an excessive amount to drink regularly. But it's far from insane unless it's over dinner.

>>24047801
If you’re bothered enough to ask, then yes, consider getting help

>>24048182
The desire and drive to drink? Can you relate it to a analogy or something more normie?

>>24047780

Yeah I used to be like that before I quit, my old buddies still are.
Also, taking shots in your car during lunch break.

>>24048206
Could never pull that off. Bosses would know instantly.
My personality would do a 360
