Though I recognize that I am a drunk, and a problem may come of it, I don't see any present problem with it. I only drink at night (after 7pm) and I never leave the house drunk. I have never drank at a bar, and I am not a violent drunk like my father was. The most of an *** I've made of myself drunk was trying to play PvP on League of Legends and having my entire team hate my guts. I am a loner by nature so I am not "missing out" on social occasions due to being a drunk.
So I apologize if this is an inappropriate question considering that most everyone here has an addiction of some kind, however I feel compelled to ask. In your personal opinion, is it possible to be a drunk without actually having a "problem" with substance abuse? Perhaps that's phrased wrong, of course it's substance abuse... Can I be a drunk without having a problem, per se? Does this question even make sense?

Just another post that shows how different we are in my country. Pretty much every second person here drinks this much regularly with absolutely no one suggesting they have problems with substance abuse. The mentality here is as long as you have an alcohol free day every 10 days or so, you're all good. It doesnt sound like it is causing major problems in your life so I dont see the harm.
