Ok so I took a couple klonopin beforehand. My question is drinking really that bad when you're on bipolar meds? I know the klonopin thing is a no-no and I AM an alcoholic but only when I go out to the bar and do shots. A six pack is nothing to me but a little buzz. So... what do you think? Anyone else struggle with this? Doesn't everybody have some days where they just say F it!? Anyways, cheers! And Happy New Year!

well. i can tell you from experience that an alcoholic isn't just one at certain times-like "im only one when i drink wine but not when i drink beer."
there may be certain drinks you like to drink more of, but you're still an alcoholic! to say differently would be like a drug addict saying, "I'm only an addict during the times I shoot up heroin, but not when I'm snorting cocaine," or a compulsive eater saying, "I'm only a compulsive eater when I stuff myself with donuts, but not when I have 4 helpings of potatoes when I'm already stuffed" or a sex addict saying "I'm only a sex addict when I sleep with married men, but not when I sleep with guys who only have a girlfriend." and the fact that you drank a six pack at once shows that you are an alcoholic "with beer" too; "buzzed" is still drunk
any way, taking drugs while drinking is always a risk, not just a "no-no."
