You might be an alcoholic if

I have had the missing tooth one… the same night I lost a bag with literally every one of my important belongings. Then went into work the next day and popped to the dentist at lunch time… seriously, what the hell! Remembering these things has taken all the glamour I have ever associated with “a nice glass of wine” away

  • You have a group of nice colleagues round who aren’t drinking for a nice festive afternoon tea, so you go into the kitchen, down a mini bottle of wine, then come back in carrying tea with a shaking hand from last night’s binge. Then every time you go in to fetch more food you down more wine to get over the hangover.
  • You go to a wedding straight from a night out, throw up at the wedding, jump into a pool and nearly get the police called on you.
  • You go to the pub on your work lunch break to down wine to get over last night’s hangover (this seems to be a common theme)
  • You get so drunk you pass out so drunkenly tell your family you must have been spiked so they take you to hospital and scream hysterically then your family get told “she’s just drunk, not spiked” (my family both work in that hospital, how horribly mortifying for them)
    etc etc

I’d like to change “might” into “are”

You are an alcoholic if…

…you’ve drunk through the whole weekend, it’s Monday morning and you’ve a hardcore hangover, you are waiting until your wife brings your daughter to school and you know you have 10 min., you creep out, jump on your bicycle and cycle to the gas station to get a small bottle of vodka.

Happened to me last Monday, this was the last alcohol I had, after I finished the bottle, this was the moment when I knew “damn, you really have a problem and need to stop” :sweat:

If you hide the bottle from yourself while drunk and find it later on… or if someone asks you “why do you drink?” and you say, “I don’t know, I just do”.

If people re-tell you a story you said when drunk and you just smile and nod cause you have zero recollection of what you said. Same with plans “so are we still on for Friday ay 6pm” and you respond with “for what?”. :woman_facepalming:

You have to keep going out to the garage during family gatherings to spike your drink so nobody sees you.

Your family finishes off your last bottle of booze at your graveside.

You make sure to always pay in cash at the liquor store so there’s no paper trail to show how often you go.
