I drink 1 bottle of good red a night+2 cans of bud for the last 10 years am i binge or heavy drinker .?!


Question: Bud is a weak enough beer so as to have minimal effect. I drink about the same amount of wine each day as do a good deal of people I know. It is a bit excessive as one bottle of wine is 8 standard drinks but as long as you are happy, you don't have to have it and you don't drive or are in any sort of position for it to harm you or others I say don't stress about it. For those that say it will shorten your life so will walking in front of a bus that you have heard while listening to your ipod.

How big is the bottle of wine, i assume that is what you are talking about. You wouldnt be a binge drinker cuz you are a regular drinker, you drink every night. Bingers get really wasted every once in a while.

Definitely a heavy drinker - if that is what you drink every night and not more some nights, I would not call your a "binge" drinker. Some poster will call you an alcoholic, but actually don't think you are, however: I would try to cut down simply from the caloric intake standpoint.

It sounds to me like you enjoy your spirits. The only way to find out for sure is to not drink for a day or two. If you discover that you don't really miss it, then it's more of a binge thing. If you discover you're going crazy without, then it's more than just heavy drinking.

I like to have a drink or two most days. I just don't always get to drink when I want to because of having to run out and pick up my children from school or the mall or something. For some reason, I feel the need to be a responsible mom, rather than drinking my wine or Southern Comfort. lol

Not if you live in France....

No your fine....

The issue ain't what you call yourself its your health that you should be more worried about cos what you are doing is shortening your like considerably ......

sounds like you are a heavy drinker but i do enjoy a good bottle of red myself, just not every night :-)
