I don't know if anyone else here has had this experience, but there were times when I really thought I had enough alcohol in the house for the night. After finishing the beer I had, I'd have a burning desire to go buy more...trying to beat the 2 a.m. deadline for the sale of booze in my state. I mentioned earlier that I had one DUI (back in the days when they didn't come down as hard as they do now). It's miraculous that I was only busted once when I look back at all the times I was behind the wheel drunk. I'm also thankful I didn't kill someone else on the road. Did I have an alcohol addiction? Ummmmm...Yep, indeed!

Sidenote: In Michigan the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08...which (depending on body weight) is equal to about 4 beers. In other words, it doesn't take much to get busted these days. There are many people forced to go to AA meetings because they "blew dirty," but are probably not "true alcoholics." Everyone should know this & exercise caution!
