How do you know when you have a drink problem?!


Question: How do you know when you have a drink problem!?
I am from Ireland and currently working away from home in Germany!. I've been here for 1 year and I go to the local bar every night for a few beers!.
Some evenings i can drink up to 10 beers and get really pissed but I still get up for work every morning!.

I would generally go just cos Im bored in the apartment and to be sociable with my work collegues but I seem to be there every night and I cant remember when the last time was I didn't go for a drink!!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
wow you sound like a piss head, i live in merseberg perhaps you would like to go for a beer after work and we can discuss your problem!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Drinking to cure boredom, or loneliness!.
Drinking to cheer yourself up
Drinking alone
Drinking to drunkenness frequently
Spending money that should be used for food, rent etc!. on drink
Drinking early in the day
"Sneaking around" to drink
Drinking at work

Blackouts, or not remembering what happened in the course of a drinking bout!.
Passing out from drink on a regular basis!.
People start treating you differently because they remember what you did when you were drunk!.

Be careful!.!.!.you are obviously aware that you are at the start of a drinking problem!. If you continue on, you will be an alcoholic!.
Please, please, stop in time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You are drinking too much in terms of your health, but no, I don't think you have a drink problem!. If you start NEEDING that drink after work, that is where the problem starts!. Like others have said, try sticking to soft drinks tonight, or don't go at all, and see how you feel!. I would advise drinking less though; 10 beers per night, several nights a week is way too much!. If you are going to drink every day then it needs to be much less than that per day!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sounds like you have a drinking problem!. If you are spending that much time at the local bar every night - you need to find someting else to do with your time!. Meet people, read a book, be a tourist and learn the town!. If you continue to drink heavily you will ruin your liver and pancreas!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You are drinking too much - you could try going out but stick to soft drinks - if you can't do without booze that's when you've got the beginnings of a problem!. At the moment I'd say you are a heavy social drinker - but be aware that this could spiral way out of control!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you have a drinking problem when you cannot function without alcohol on a day to day basis!. when you no longer WANT a drink, you NEED it!.
try and stay out of the pub for a day or two, and you'll get your answer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you'll never tell yourself you have a problem, even when your shaking because you havent had a drink, you wont see it as a problem! just try going a night without a drink!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, you seem to be at a bar quite often and i think that
you have some problems with yourself not with alcohol or
is it so!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Try and stay in for one night!. If you just CAN'T you have a problem!. If you can, then you aren't alcoholic - but it sounds like you do drink too much!.!.

My stepfather used to drink 10 pints a night - he died at 43!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Try going and drinking a lot less or have the odd night when you either don't go or stick to soft drinks!. If this proves difficult then yes I'm afraid you may have a problem!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
