  Nothing green about alcoholism. I enjoy my beer, gin and occasionall hangover but alcohol addiction is nothing to celebrate

    A single shot seems more like a habit than functional alcoholism

      Drinking alcohol habitually is called alcoholism. Any time the consumption of alcohol is a fixed part of your day, you are already over the line. A beer with every dinner? Shots with friends/coworkers after work every day? That’s alcoholism.

        Yep. That’s a difficult nuance for people to grasp. Alcoholism isn’t really about the amount, it’s about your relationship to its use.

        If you drink 7 beers on a random friday night, but nothing the rest of the week, you’re probably fine. But if you drink a beer with your breakfast so you can face the day, that’s clearly not a good place to be. Same amount of alcohol, but a different relationship to its use.

        Basically, anytime you feel like you ‘need a drink to do X’ with any regularity, it’s time to talk to your doctor about alcohol use.

  “I love trying to get in the pants of addicts!”

  Christ you seem like a slimy dude.

    Who said anything about trying to get in their pants? Why is this suddenly about taking sexual advantage of an addict?

      They are literally saying that someone getting drunk in the middle of the day is a “bright green flag”

      A green flag for what?
