Answers:
sounds like you are putting that $16/hr to good use! :) have fun!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The problem is your not drinking correctly and/or drinking the right stuff!.
First you must practice finding the buzz, then ride the buzz for as long as you can, this a fine art but one that can be attained with much practice!.
Second you must only consume the high end brands of alcohol!. The lower end ones contain too much sugar and that is why your getting your hangovers!.
Eventually you will figure it out or it will kill you

An alcoholic is someone who NEEDS to drink because they get withdrawal symptoms e!.g!. shaking, sickness, moody etc etc because they need to have the alcohol in their system!. Someone who is becoming an alcoholic is when they're drunk day and night and never stop drinking!. Eventually the drunk feeling wears off and you don't feel nothing but then your liver is used the alcohol in your system!.

So no, you just like to have a drink!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well you sound like my family!. I understand it, your not an alcoholic you just binge drink!. If your so dependent on alcohol that you cant go anywhere or do anything without it, id consider that alcoholism!.
My mom cant have just one beer!. But she doesnt drink all day everyday, just in the evenings!.
Maybee you should switch to beer since you can drink more of it without blacking out as you would with vodka!
Start taking controll and push the drink away when you get the spins!. Dillute the drink, put a LITTLE vodka in a tall glass of soda so that if you do chug it, you wont fall over when you get up from your seat!. Good luck!.!.!.you are and will be just fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
