From me, i know! shocking isn't it Eeker
Well yesterday i was reading through a booklet Jamie had from his drink driving course. Reading through it and looking and units and recomended amounts. I discovered that in the eyes of the government i am a alcoholic. Scary word, but it got me thinking. There are some dangerous patterns i have started to fall into and the amount i have been drinking has been on my mind for a while. Coming from a mostly alcholic family i think its time i dried up completely. So giving it a go as from now.
Wish me luck Thumbs Up

Worry not! According to HMG figures most of us on here are alcoholics.

Good luck - that is a brave thing to admit and a very tough thing to do.

hi kelly Wave i think social drinking has changed over the years to binge drinking for some, but age is par for the course.
didn't think you could get rat-azzed working in a bar though? Wink

I dont! binge drinking is classed as anything above 6 units which is 2 pints Eeker or 2 glaases of wine Eeker

daft innit? everytime i used to go out, drinking was part of it.. but i loved 'strutting my stuff' so worked it off on the dance floor Cool used to ask for water at that stage.
i worry about my sis, can hear her coming a mile off with all the wine bottles from bargain booze. have told her to seriously think about how much she drinks after work.

See thats where i go wrong. After work i wind down a more than a couple of pints of bacardi and coke Eeker

Eeker yeah - that's a problem!
mind you going through my memory banks, i have worked as cocktail waitress, carrying trays and walking around for hours and finishing at 4am, it does take time to wind down, cos it's like coming home from a normal days work. and when i did barwork in france, i used to hit the clubs for an hour to wind down, so maybe it's not unusual, just the nature of the job.

Far too much ..........recently my husband has cut down/virtually stopped drinking (at home at least)he nags me to stop too .........I'm quite shocked that I find it virtually impossible to do.

It's hard ..........I know I should cut back drastically but here's the thing ..........I dont really want to Frowner

1 25ml shot of spirits = 1 unit so depending on the size of your voka & coke depends how many units you consume but be warned 25ml is tiny!!!
Over 6 units is a binge.

They may say its a binge... but its SO not a binge.... I could show them a binge!!!

(used to drink loads, teenage party drinking, through to clubbing, through to bad day at work bottle of wine on a night drinking. Last year have drastically cut down, mainly due to Volvic Touch of Fruit water, which I like the taste of as much as wine or stella!).

I probably drink a bottle of wine a week now. And whatever the government say, I'm happy with that.
