hi locust, i'm a recovering alcoholic and this is what i learned about binge drinking: it's more difficult for a person to identify they have a problem with alcohol cause they have periods of no drinikng at all. when they do drink tho your description does sound like a binge drinker.
however, only you can decide if you have a problem with alcohol but i'm glad you are questioning your drinking behavior. if you are a binge drinker there is an interesting aspect of it. i was told that binge drinking does more harm to the liver cause of the excessivenes when one does drink. i was a day to day drinker. i was completely immersed in alcholism when i went to get help. my liver enzmes were normal however. (even the doc was shocked cause i was so bad off.)
my gf was a binge drinker and when she got help, her liver was on overload.
the question you can ask yourself is why do you feel the need to get totally plastered.? becoming educated about alcoholism i found that normal ppl didn't drink like i did. once i turned on the switch i couldn't stop drinking. it was an obsession with me. do u feel that way when you drink?
idk if you are taking meds as well but that was another thing i had to learn. my meds did not mix with alcohol and it could have lethal results. i played russian roulette so to speak with no bad results for a long time. then one nite i almost died from the combination. i was very fortunate to have lived. i got help for my drinking cause i knew my life was going down the tubes and i also could die mixing it with my meds. this is just my story, mind you, but hope this helps. i'm glad you shared what's going on with you.
