Answers:
Well, you've said it all yourself my love :)
You are 21 with a life waiting for you, you're obviously wanting to help yourself, because you're asking others advice about it :)
I'm not going to call you an Alcoholic, but I will say that you need to get yourself down to the Doctors as soon as you can :) If you are treated for your anxiety and depression, then maybe the need for alcohol will lessen by itself!.
There is help out there if you want it badly enough!.
I truely wish you all the very best of luck!.
Take care you, Lulu xWww@FoodAQ@Com

Hi, if you can I'd suggest that you go & see your doctor for a chat!. He or she should be able to help you & give you good advice!. They won't judge you or anything just help you get the help that you need!.
Maybe 8 or more cans isn't quite on the hardcore level of a bottle of vodka a day but it is still much more than the recommended units of alcohol!.
Alcohol, though it obviously makes you feel better when you drink, is not going to help with your depression either!. Alchohol is a depressant & over all will make you feel worse about yourself!.

Only you can label yourself alcoholic!.
The nature of addiction is that you do whatever it is compulsively, excessively, and without regard for punishing consequences!.!.!.and that when you try to stop because you realize all these things, you just can't!.
So if you drink even though it is causing chaos in your life, you make excuses for it, etc!. you are getting sick from it, you are losing relationships because of it!.!.!.and yet you don't stop!.!.!.you are most likely an alcoholic!.
Have you ever heard of self-medication!? It is the tendency we have to subconsciously recognize what helps us, even if it is also harmful, and continue to do that for the help we receive!. We may take someone else's meds, we may use illegal or over the counter drugs, we may use nutrients or other food additives!.
Caffeine for example, is well known to give energy, and cure headaches!. You don't have to know WHY or HOW this works, you don't even need to be sure of it as a fact but if you use caffeine every time you have a headache, or every time you need a boost!.!.!.then you are self-medicating!.
The reason that I mention this is that alcohol is very commonly abused by people who have anxiety problems!.!.!.!.whether it is the way it relaxes our bodies or lowers our inhibitions, or gives us social courage!.!.!.whatever it is seems to help!.!.!.which is fine if alcohol doesn't start to become a problem and if it keeps helping you!. Chances are if you were being treated by a medical doctor for anxiety, you would feel less need for alcohol!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes, and drinking doesn't make life better it will make it worse and can kill you in the long run, everyone is going to tell you need to get help, but unless you can admit to yourself that your an alcoholic than there's no use to going to get treatment!. im planning to be an addiction councilor so it was a pleasure to talk about this, lol!.!. if you want to talk more here is my email address beccalykken@yahoo!.com feel free to chat with me anytime!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
A test to see whether you have a physical dependency: don't have any booze for 3 days (72 hours)!. Take a diary of how you feel!. If you have any of: shakes, excess anxiety, sweats, urges to walk about randomly, nausea, irritability, delusions or hallucinations then please talk to your doctor!. Talk to him/her anyway - they genuinely want to help you!Www@FoodAQ@Com
It sounds excessive!. You need to see your doctor asap!.
The sooner you get help the sooner things will improve for you!. Help and support will give you the courage to fight the addiction, depression and anxiety!.
Don't delay, sweetie!. If you don't face these issues, then things can only get worse!.
Good luck!.
