It's a bit worrying. Makes you wonder how far away proper alcoholism really is."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

I certainly can feel the tug to keep drinking but that's simply the buzz starting to kick in. More that I have 2 instead of 1 as intended, than 1 beer ending up as a 2-day bingeOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by cojak View PostI used to keep drinking until I'm drunk but as the hangovers got more vicious, I stopped. I'm sure I'll get caught out (I do occasionally with country wines and I've a batch of apple wine on the go) but generally the memories of wiped out weekends stops me from getting too ratted.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

What Cojak said. I used to drink a lot, socially. Bad, bad bad hangovers. Now I don't go out much (ahem) I rarely, if ever drink. I'd rather have a glass of milk at home than a glass of wine.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.
