On a somewhat serious note. I have been drinking alot in the past couple months. And its starting to get to the point not where im worried, but im thinking I need to slow down. I drink about 6 days a week. and usually not a ton, definately not even close to enough to black out or anything. Usually just one forty and a spliff.

I can go without drinking with no problem, but i do crave it. It helps me relax and sleep. (Bud makes it hard for me to sleep) I was just wondering in your guys and gals opinion, how much is too much and what are the signs of becoming dependent? Has anyone here had a problem?

Please none of those "just stop drinking" comments. Hopefully this can be a somewhat serious thread.

Thanks:joint:
 
i used to drink ridiculous amounts. we all did.

it was during the apartheid war, and as a 14 yr old with an uzi under my arm and radio on my back i did not actually ever expect to see my 18th birthday, so it was 'get your kicks b4 the whole shithouse goes up in flames' kind of thing.

but by age 22 it was a massive problem healthwise. the hangovers were as bad as migraines, and the war was about over. thank GOD. When i had to take 14 painkillers to recover i knew it was a major problem.

its all about how you feel healthwise. everybodys metabolism is different,
but in order to let ganja help u sleep, u can smoke a few reefers then stop smoking,
and about 2 hours later you get really sleepy. don't smoke another at this point or you will wake up.

so if u want to sleep at midnight have the last reefer at 9pm

Well Im I drinker I drink everyday.Some times I wake up and have a shot of tequila and go back to bed. I normaly start drinking around 430am and do not stop until I go to bed..This is a drinking problem what you have sounds more like a nite cap than a drinking problem.But what ever you decide it is I wish the best for you in your time of uncertanty...
 
i wouldn't say you've got a problem unless your drinking yourself stupid every night then waking up and going straight for a beer...thats when you know your bad.
 
im drunk now...althought I think I'll have a blunt in a little bit. The wife is sleep. V for vendetta is on. Looks like im prime for a long night on RIU. Relax bro...you're fine. The best thing is that you've acknowledged it before it's even started which may prevent you from kicking back liters of whiskey daily.

I like being drunk, it makes me creative, just enough then i stop. Thank God im still in control
 
I guess when you start to view alcohol as something you need to get through the day is when you're starting to develop a dependancy to alcohol.
 
Its a problem if you think its a problem. If you think youd generally be better off not drinking as much then slow down. Just because other people drink more and say compared to me your hardly even drinking doesnt mean that for your situation it isnt a little bit too much.
Compared to most people here i smoke nothing (0.5g a day maybe), but compared to my surroundings and friends i smoke 10x as much as them.
Its hard to tell if your just having fun doing something and thats why you do it a lot or if its slowly getting out of hand.
 
You have a drinking problem when you stay up for 24hours drinking, then throw a chair at your our mother and then have your own brother knock you out and tie you up untill the cops come.

True fucking story dude. Thats why I stay away from drinkin mainly. Everyone in my family either smokes the rock or has a drinking problem. I just stick wit da Weed mon. But ya.

Ill come get you if you have a drinking problem/throwing chairs at your mother. Ill tie ya up fo sho :mrgreen:
 
I drink 1 beer or 2.......

And no, i dont think its a problem.. cuz i can go without any substance my whole life if it had to be...
 
^ damn man, damn. lol thats crazy shit.

Yeah man drinking, in its early stages for me was just like something to get rid of anxiety. After a while of using it for that purpose it started more and more to become a type of medicine. And the farther i got into it, from personal experience i started getting other problems, like my temper was insane, i felt like a crazed pist of crack head at times. Then after this just became the way of things i started to crave, and i got to the point like mentioned before i would fucking crave a beer in the morning, it was terrible. If i had a beer it wouldnt last 20 min. Then i moved to a new place and just lost intrest!! seems my soroundings had alot to do with the craving. Now im afraid to start drinking beer. Its weird, i have no desire for the hard alchohol but, beer is like crack. well it was. But anyways what im trying to say is that the drinking thing is routine that should be kept at a moderate, even pace, cause shit that pace can pick up mighty quick if you dont give it contoll and moderation. It CAN get scary.
