Am I an alcoholic, do I have a problem?!
Okay so I'm 19 turning 20 this year and have been drinking since I was 15!.
In high school it was like everyday, we'd sneak vodka in water bottles then go out in the weekend and just get wasted!.
I've never been the girl that's needed to be carried out of somewhere because I couldn't walk, well maybe like a hand full of times!.
And it hasn't stopped me from functioning or anything, I graduated HS, am in college and have a part-time job at a bookstore!. I drink baileys in my coffee everyday because it makes me more talkative and active in class!. I go out partying about 3 to 4 times a week and that's the only time it's really heavy drinking to where I'm totally drunk!.
I'm pretty good at controling my emotions to where it's not like I'll just get really drunk alone at home!. But I will want to go out to get rid of the stress!. But that's rarely the reason I go out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'm so glad you asked this question, I drink in college everyday, which i know isn't great, but, like you, I feel as though I'm more talkative and active!. I rarely get hungover, because I don't drink a crazy amount in college at all!. Like you, i sneaked vodka into the toilets at school and drunk it with my mates!. Then that stopped and it was just heavy drinking at weekends!. Now I've started drinking in college everyday!. I haven't told anyone!. It's not that I'm particularly ashamed, and I'm never obvious about it (well at least no one has ever said anything)!.
I'm not sure if it makes me an alcoholic!? I don't think it does!. And I wouldn't class you as an alcoholic either!. Personally, I think everythings been thrown out of proportion, if you drink everyday; your labelled an 'alcoholic'!. If you drink at weekends, you're labelled a 'binge drinker'!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's a problem, and I think you already know that since you even bothered to ask the question!. There are lots of functioning alcoholics, but that doesn't make it any better (or worse) than a raging one!. Only you can decide if you are going to do anything about it, though!. However, if you are using it as a social crutch -- making you more talkative and active, you are depending on it as a coping mechanism rather than just a way to blow off steam!. Just think about it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Typically, I say alcohol is not a problem unless it is getting you into legal trouble (DUI), causing problems with family or friends, or impairing work or school!.
I also drank heavily in college, but it was only on the weekends or at night with my friends!.
Try weaning yourself off this daily drinking; if you get jittery, irritable, or feel as though you cannot function, then I would be worried!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My two centsWww@FoodAQ@Com
Sounds like you love alcohol!. Perfectly natural for a 20 year old college student!. I'm also a college student but I actually quit drinking due to a DUI, I was like you and drank all the time!. Just be careful when driving and you should be alright!.
To answer your question, yes you're an alcoholic!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You may not be an alcoholic yet, but you have a problem
1!. "Getting wasted" as a drinking goal isn't a sign of responsible drinking, neither is sneaking around your wodka
2!. If you need your Bailey every day thats a bad sign too
3!. "totally drunk" 3-4 times a week is too much as well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
