Alright so it has happened that I have been confronted about my drinking, basically my mom get concerned. Well for starters for my size I can down a lot of booze i weigh around 95 pounds but still go into berzerk mode which can make me stronger for a short time.

But yeah on my own from this I figured I need to be more careful about how much I drink at a bar...and if i leave I should make sure I have all my things. Still just hope I didn't act like a jerk to them when they where only trying to help a **** up chick at 2 in the morning, actually still feel bad the two cops had to come out in the middle of the night to deal with my ****ed up ***.

Oy! That sounds like at least a binge-drinking problem if you're not an alcoholic (or on the short path to become one). I'm an alcoholic and I would regret having to welcome you to the club... although I don't follow my own advice I would suggest taking an extended break from alcohol and getting it under control before you find yourself getting into these situations more regularly.

At least you didn't go into full-on berserker mode and attack the cops! A deadly 95-pounds of drunken rage

Only you can answer it. I suggest taking an honest look at how your drinking effects you and others.

There are other tests and symptoms you can look up if you want to.

Yeah perhaps it is more of a binge drinking issue...because usually when things end up getting sort of dangerous its because I am upset/angry and have decided to just go and get drunk...which doesn't actually help. I suppose that could become an addiction but not so sure I can say for certain I actually reached that point.

But yeah I probably am going to just avoid alcohol in general for a while, see if when I am a little more stable feeling about it if I am fine with just a beer or two....or if I find myself wanting more and more and more.

A good choice. I am more of the steady-drinking type but be careful if/when you binge because it can be really dangerous in the short term... especially for someone so small (easier to get alcohol poisoning) and being a sloshed woman at a bar/club can of course be dangerous (but hopefully you go out with friends who've got your back when you do that kind of thing).

Anyways, take care - for the night is dark and full of terrors.

I have always heard there are five types of alcoholics and the binge drinker is one type. I am not saying you are an alcoholic, only you can decide that. It is progressive and happens in stages. If you have a high potential maybe you can stop it in time before it becomes much harder to quit and causes a ton of damage.

Also if you are drinking and using it really clouds up mental health issues. In a sense I successfully treated myself with drugs and alcohol for a long time, meaning I was able to function and cope with life. But in reality I was just burying everything under the drugs and alcohol, not dealing with anything. And of course it got real ugly and didn't work. When I got clean and sober it was all in my face and I needed a lot of help to deal with it.

I guess the thing is with me, I do know what I am doing before hand usually...like I will think 'I am upset so I'll go get drunk' this point it still seems like a definite choice thing but sometimes when I do that for a while I will start kinda craving alcohol which is when it gets concerning...another thing I have noticed is for some reason I sort of want to drink more whenever I take an anti-depressant.

But yeah I think I can curb that habit before it becomes serious and I end up getting alcohol withdrawls and what not....I have never reached that point at least. But yeah haven't had any alcohol for like 4 days and not planning to soon so, so far so good with that.

Good for you. You would have to drink very heavy for many years to get alcohol withdrawals or DT's. Alcohol doesn't have a bad withdrawal after the hang over is over.

Try to notice this about yourself. Are there sometimes that once you get three or four drinks in you do you then get a huge craving to keep drinking and drinking. You will drink until you pass out or puke. Or you will be the last one standing at the party and still wanting to drink. Or when all the booze runs out you just have to get more. Or pass out for awhile and start drinking again right away.

Sometimes once I can feel a bit of effect, I end up just drinking more when I don't really need to...I have drank to the extent I vomit and then drink more. Another thing to though is I think I get the idea stuck in my head that i need to be 'drunk' for people to have fun around me or so I don't seem unhappy and can be more social. But it doesn't have to be that way, I don't have to be drinking to be around people there are plenty who like me just fine when I haven't touched alcohol in days.
