* You have to hold onto the lawn to keep from falling off the earth.
* Job interfering with your drinking.
* Your doctor finds traces of blood in your alcohol stream.
* The back of your head keeps getting hit by the toilet seat.
* Sincerely believe alcohol to be the elusive 5th food group.
* Two hands and just one mouth... - now THAT'S a drinking problem!
* You can focus better with one eye closed.
* The parking lot seems to have moved while you were in the bar.
* You fall off the floor...
* Hey, 5 beers has just as many calories as a burger, screw dinner!
* At AA meetings you begin: "Hi, my name is... uh.
* The whole bar says 'Hi' when you come in...
* Don't recognize your wife unless seen through bottom of glass.

Another sign you've been drinking too much,
Wet Brain, Dementia, rage, cirrhosis of the liver, Prisons, institutions and maybe even death!  |

Knew a man from my husband's work. He died of liver failure due to drinking. Sad.  |

I've seen way too many people die from this disease...  |

 I'm sorry to hear that, Carl. In my family, at least with my uncle and the cousins, drugs are the problem. No matter what addiction it is it's not a life and will definitely by the end of a life. |

| One sign is when you find yourself bowing to the "Great Porcelen Goddess" |

I hear you!
I've got some family stories myself. One that probably gave me the logic to never drink in the first place (not that I like the smell or taste to begin with. Wine=ick. No communion wine for me!)
So I don't drink. The more I hear, the more glad I am that I don't! ::shudder:: |

Smart thinking. There are people out there who can do the social thing, and have a few drinks, then there are some people who over do it a little, weekend drinkers... And then there are the ones who drink almost or all the time, just to give themselves that "edge" or to make themselves escape themselves and their lives. Those are the types who are on the path of self destruction. |

Same here. I'm not much of a wine drinker and if I do drink anything it's once in a blue moon. I'm scared of monkeys on the old back. Plus, when you're the last person in the communion line that communion wine gets kinda spitty. Bleh! I feel like a sinner, but I avoid that one, especially during flu season. |

How do you measure a "few"? Everyone’s body weight differs. Doesn't one that drinks (not all the time) do it to relieve the "edge"? Why else would you drink (excluding those who abuse/ have the disease)?

You're right.
Having a few socially is having one or two around company then going home, compulsive drinking is staying there till you're booted out.
And it measured by height, weight etc, but does it really matter though? If you're compulsive drinking? Or rather Alcoholic drinking? During my drinking days, I was a skinny guy, weighing in at 140-145... Never really ate anything until I was thoroughly sloshed, then I would then later puke it all up. I'm surprised I have a throat left.
However I never really liked beers anyway, Capt'n Morgan and Coke was my drink of choice... |
