Why don't you try not drinking for a week.

That should prove things a bit more than the drinking average of a completely random subset of people from different cultural backgrounds.

Drinking alcohol isn't healthy. That is what most doctors will tell you. There are some studies that suggest drinking vine and beer in small doses can be beneficial, but we all know where it ends.

> 4-5 times a week
That is really a lot. I bet you drink alone. Another sign of you getting closer to alcoholism.
> know if I can stop drinking
The first step is realize why are you drinking. Problems? Hidden depression? Bored? Don't know any better way how to spend time?

Some people even says the alcohol is worse drug than cocaine.

I drink 6 or 7 nights a week.

I can stop when I need to, which is how I know I don't have a drinki problem. I stop for a week or two every once in a while.

My problem is that I want to and like to drink. I like my buzz before I sleep. I like something that takes all my fears and stress and flushes it down the toilet,

That's really my problem. It isn't drinking. But it makes me realize that the door is open to me having a serious drinking problem. So I keep that in mind.

But as of now, I don't have a problem.

What about you, Op?

I tried but I always give in at most after 4 days

Thanks I needed to hear that - and yes I do.

>..realize why are you drinking
Anxiety disorder, depression, boredom, insomnia pretty much

You sound like me, and I think we're both on the road to a problem.

I try desperately to get drunk, at least once, but I'm heavy enough (220, 6'3") that it takes just more alcohol than my stomach can handle. The other night, I drank a couple whiskey and cokes, a craft beer, and a shot of some shit I don't even remember, but I didn't even get tipsy, but my stomach was just tore UP. I don't drink that often though, so maybe that's it, but I'd like to at least get buzzed. I'm in fucking college, over 21, and I want to see how it feels.

But, I guess that's just my story. Here's the survey.

jokes on you OP! I don't drink at all!

I'm afraid of liver failure

>How often I drink:
Once every two weeks, if that

>I drink mostly..
Beer, occasionally I do something hard but usually only with friends for some kind of event (i.e. shots for a birthday)

>I stop when I get..
Tipsy, because I don't drink often I don't have a terribly high tolerance. I don't mind a light buzz from a drink but I'm not a fan of getting actually drunk.

>My drinking is..
Fine

>I drink because..
I like it, I'm bored, and it is a social lubricant.

I mean, I get home from work and I have between 1 and 3 beers. I don't consider it an issue. I go out proper drinking like maybe once every five months.
Chucking back a cold one is just a nice way to relax and wind down after a long day.

It's a lot more enjoyable when it rarely happens

If you're asking the question, it's too much.

>How often I drink:
2-3 times a week (depending on the week sometimes more, cutting it down)

>I drink mostly..
Wine etc.

>I stop when I get..
Into the mood and keep myself there

>My drinking is..
Still fine, I guess

>I drink because..
I like it or I feel shit

>>16932537
>once a week
>beer (what's spirits?)
>tired/drunk. Tipsy is just when fun starts
>fine
>i have more fun that way

drinking by yourself more than once a week unless a glass of wine with dinner or whatever sounds like a problem to me.
