Addiction to alcohol is an illness and nothing to be ashamed of?

Some people can stop at just one or two glasses & some people, like me, have to have 30 or 40 or the whole keg ?

Genetics!? Do you have alcoholism in your family!? I've always been a binge drinker but have never had the mental/emotional mindset of an alcoholic but I know exactly what you mean!. I can drink pretty much anyone under the table given about a weeks practice, so for this reason I choose not to drink often because I already know how out of hand it can get!.

Honestly, even if you aren't worried that your'e an alcoholic and just don't understand WHY you can drink so much, please remember that this affects your health regardlessly, so just try to keep in it moderation if you can!.

Good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

for me, maybe the reason of your "binge-drinking" must be because you don't drink that much at all, i mean not often that's why you tend to drink more and make the most of it when you have the chance to drink!. and so, it seems as if its a mental problem you got!.

err!. i hope that is really why is it so!.

If you're under 25, then theres your answer!. I'm 18 (In Australia so it's legal), and when I get with all my friends, we just drink and drink and drink until we are all drunk as hell!. It's fun!. Shots, beer anything!. It's just having a good time!. I think when your past 25 you kind of grow out of it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Been there done that! It eventually led to jail,license suspensions,and a lot of money for fines and lawyers!. It definitely put a damper on my social life!Www@FoodAQ@Com
