Sounds like drinking for the sake of drinking as opposed to enjoting the beer that you are drinking.
Not good for your liver and if you don't have a problem yet you might have soon.
If you can't go for a week without a drink then you've got a problem, easy way to find out is to not have any booze for a week and see how it makes you feel.
I have recently noticed a lot of alcholics around me, my house mate, and a few other people.
They all have no hobbies what so ever, and have nothing else to occupy thier time with. And wait to go out and get drunk, sleep all day!
They are very lonley, and although may seem to have a lot of friends, it never really fills that "gap".
I feel sorry for them, they are so quiet during the day, pretending everything is fine. But when thier drunk thier true feelings come out, and they are all depressed.
Not being rude to them, but they have no purpose, no goal and just want the glory at the end of the day.
Mabey you could get a hobby or an activity that gets you out of this hole. There is no real nice way of saying this, but drinking that much alcohol each night for no reason is very wrong.
You should really really think to yourself why are you doing this, and really honnestly ask the question, "Are you happy?".
Too much of a good thing is bad.

Edit: not because I want to know whos gay.....its just those threads tend to be very amusing.

If you drink as you say, whatever is the cheapest lager, then all it says is you dont give a stuff about what you drink .... as long as it gets you drunk.
Sounds like you have a drink problem. Can you even go a single night without feeling 'numbed' or 'relaxed' by alcohol? Why does it have to be cheap - do you even value yourself enough to spend some money on your recreation time?
I wouldnt say you were George Best, but you obviously have an unhealthy relationship with booze.

I'm trying to figure out why you are proud about thinking you are an alcoholicTeledude said:Mwhaha Sweet
IMO you're drinking too much. As others have said, cut down on your drinking if you can. But I'd hazard a guess that you can't.
Teledude said:Im not proud because I don't believe I am
I had 1 beer yesterday with lunch and none today and feel fine although im just about to open a bottle of wine because I can
In that case it sounds like you are in denial.
I love to drink as much as the next guy but I keep it as a purely social activity. I love knocking back a few cans with mates, sharing a bottle of wine with my girlfriend etc. But Having a bottle of wine just "because you can" seems absurd to me. When you are drinking alone regularly you should start to be concerned.
Teledude said:I dont need alchohol but I do enjoy it
All alcoholics say they "don't need alcohol and only drink because they enjoy it"
Sorry mate but you are showing every sign.
Sorry, but when I see your reply to...Teledude said:Im not proud because I don't believe I am

then you appear to me to look quite pleased with yourselfTeledude said:Mwhaha Sweet
I've got a mate who sounds just like you. Says the same type of thing. I think he's an alcoholic too and so do many of our group of friends. I can only judge you by what you say here so I could be wrong, but I get a funny feeling I'm not :/
