Approaching an Alcoholic

[wall_st]

[ QUOTE ]
i get a buzz/drunk almost everynight either alone playing CS (highly recommended, btw) or with friends playing poker/halo but i hardly consider myself an alcoholic, and neither do the people around me, although almost all of them would say i drink too much.

I told them if my drinking ever gets in the way of any normal responsibility then i am becoming an alcoholic and to stop me.

Thus, if drinking ever gets in the way of your friend's working - then i'd stop him.

You drink alone almost every night and don't think you are an alcoholic ? You are a functioning alcoholic in denial.
