Alcohol

[Factotum]

how much do you drink? i'm no alcoholic but i need to drink atleast twice a week. its such an easy escape from boredom.

I don't mean to sound like your mother now, dude, but if you NEED to drink AT LEAST twice a week, then that's a warning sign. If you drink alone (which I'm just assuming, because otherwise you wouldn't be bored, right?), then that's another.

I only drink if I go out, attend a party or something, and I don't always drink during those occasions, either. On average, I guess I drink maybe once every other month. If I'm just sitting home alone, no amount of alcohol can save me from boredom. My creativity, however, can.

Equinox is correct. "Needing" a drink is a warning. Also, drinking alone is dangerous. Drinking your problems away is a bad scene man. I know it all to well. If you ask yourself or someone else asks you if you have a drinking problem, and you have to think about it, you do.

It depends. I usually have a few drinks if I go out to dinner I rarely go out. Maybe once a month I may have a cocktail or two at home.

I did drink alot years ago I would go out after work and hang out with coworkers. I haven't spoken to any of them in years. I think I did that just to be around people to talk to because when people drink to much it doesn't matter what you say.

There was only one period of time when I drank alone. Not really fun. Now I only drink if I go out to a bar or discoteque, which has been a lot lately.

I’m teetotal, always have been, I’ve just never seen the appeal in getting lost in drink.

I'd need plenty of liquor to even consider touching those lips.

Very rarely. I don't like the taste of it, but I use it to ease up a bit at social occasions. I also enjoy being at a concert and having heavy distortion smash my face off while I'm a little on the drunk side.

I used to drink a lot, maybe up to 5 days a week. I do still drink a fair bit. Usually once or twice in the week and sometimes at weekends as well if I can find anyone to go out with. Its not great drinking on your own, but it helps me sleep

I agree that it's a warning sign. You should never "have" to drink!

I personally don't drink all that much. Mostly because I take a benzo, and I don't want to end up overdosing.

I've tried it and liked it (the drink itself) but... I can see how it would easily be addicting. I've seen what it can do to close family members, so I don't want to head down that road. I haven't touched it in 7 years and don't intend to ever again.
