Definition of alcoholic and binge drinker?

if you cant stop ur an alcy.

if u throw down a 12 pack on a friday night ur a bingy

Was thinking the same thing recently....4 beers is barely a buzz and that's in an hour or two. I think the gov't has incentive to label everyone with a "problem" so they can restrict firearm ownership and eventually force medicate under Obamcare.

I can see that. However, 4 beers in one day = binge drinking? I also think it depends on the circumstances, no? for example, you're out partying vs you are in your back yard replacing the transmission or engine, or building a shed, and having some cold ones on a hot day...

exactly. i can go for months wo a drink then when i party i will drink a lot. 4 drinks is bs. thats a buzz

unless its 4 of those good german beers then u at 8% heheh

best info I ever heard from an alcoholic -- that watching people leave drinks not finished was absolute torture, such as ordering a cocktail before dinner and then when the food comes just switching to wine with the meal and leaving your cocktail unfinished - same goes for Beer, a true alcohlic ALWAYS finishes a beer, whereas someone who is not could easily pass up that last warm swig.

a binge is days not hours. ends in death or jail.

Someone who drinks more in a day than you do?

I'm just finishing my 12th "1664" tube, and shortly will be crashing.

I read something a long time ago describing people who have 6 beers a day are heavy drinkers. An alcoholic is someone who is addicted to alcohol. Alcoholism doesn't mean you drink every day, rather that it causes you problems with your behavior.

To some people binges are one night of excessive drinking. To others binges are days, weeks, months and even years of excessive drinking without stopping. I don't know how 4 drinks can be called a binge; to some 4 drinks is just a social outing or an end to a stressful day.

Alcohol is an extremely addictive drug. Even moderate drinking causes changes in the way you think, your beliefs, morals and so forth. Extreme drinking causes psychotic episodes where one does not remember functioning yet acts without consciousness (blackouts). If you think you have a problem with alcohol you are probably right. If someone in your family thinks you have a problem with alcohol they are probably right. If the police/court systems think you have a problem with alcohol they are probably right.

maybe they just have a problrm with alcohol and need to get over it
