How much is one beer? A beer bottle? A can? A pint? That makes a big difference.

Regardless, I don't think that's too much. I mean it's a bit unhealthy, but so are a lot of fun things. As long as it isn't effecting your studies/work/relationships/hobbies, I don't see the problem.
It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.

i drink 4-5 times a week, but never alone, and it's never to get drunk. of course i do get drunk sometimes, but i know my limit. i know i have to open the store for everyone where i work at 5am. i know the 1-2 hours of sleep is going to destroy me the next morning

i'm never late to work and i feel like drinking his much doesn't negatively affect my life. if i felt it did, i would drink less, or only go out on my weekened. point is, i'm responsible about it and i know i can lose my job if i'm not to work on time, every time. i can control myself



if you feel you got it under control, no worries, dude

if your dad and gf are upset by it, then that's a very very good indication that _you_ have a problem. talk to them about it and explain your side of the situation. if they are still against it, and you love them, then stop right now.

Personally, I find a lot of life's vices (good food, alcohol, recreational drugs, gambling, gaming, etc) are best enjoyed in a social setting. Its not to say that it's a bad thing to do alone (I love a shot of baileys in my morning coffee, a beer at dinner, a quick game of SC or a VOD as a study break, etc), but if I'm going to do anything in an excessive manner, it's going to be with other people. Its much more enjoyable imo.

So, to me, people with drinking problems are the ones who enjoy it excessively by themselves. Otherwise, they have a problem if it starts affecting other areas of their lives, like work or school (or, in your case, your situation with your GF).

This leads me into thinking that while you may not think you have a problem, you really do. I love beer as well, but it is definitely a manageable thing to cut yourself back to 1-2 a day (with excessively more on special occasions).

You may be dinking too much. A lot of people dink because they like the taste, but if you're dinking 4-6 beers a day, its going to be bad for your health in the long run.

Dinking that much is bad for your liver, your wallet and your weight.

I would say try to start dinking about 1-2 beers a day instead. That combined with a decent diet and lifestyle should mean your dinking is staying within acceptable limits for you to stay healthy.

I also think if you yourself are questioning the amount you're drinking then you probably are drinking too much. Just cut down a little. It'll help your wallet and your weight.

I think a beer when you are playing sc or whatever is fine. 4 or 6 is a bit much.

Unless it burns when you pee you're doing okay. Treasured medical advice.

4 - 6 Beers down on each night of the 3 - 5 nights a week is a teeny bit much in my opinion. You're very responsible with it, and I also agree with what other people say about drinking alone- it's not a bad thing. Usually people who would say drinking bad when you're doing it alone are typically only drink at parties and are a bit narrow minded when it comes to the subject of what the signs of alcoholism are.

I think a lot of older people who have more laid back yet well-sustained lifestyles can give the best opinion of how much is too much. IMO people who do their best to avoid areas of night-life, partying, and drug-use OR people who do the exact opposite and indulge themselves in those activities will not give you a very reliable answer. It's always the people who are in between the 2 and can make a decision of something along the lines of "Eh, it's been a long day, I'll just stay home have a few beers, relax, and wake up all ready for work tomorrow!" who give you the best advice.

Personally, I either have 2 glasses of wine or 2 cans of beer every night before I go to sleep. Completely harmless.

from a health standpoint...yeah you are. not saying its a bad thing, your not responsible or it isnt fun, but between 12-30 beers a week a week is a lot.

This sounds fine. It's higher than most people but that doesn't mean much. 4 nights a week 5 beers each doesn't sound too bad to me. The most important thing, as with anything, is that you're not letting it affect other things.

Also it will create a beer belly unless you do a lot of sports. Beer bellies suck hard. So definitely work out or play sports a few times per week.

I drink almost every day to be honest. I'm 26 and I've been a functional alcoholic since I was 21. Never really let it "get in the way" of anything. I've accomplished everything I've wanted to set my mind towards.

Most people just don't understand. There is a difference to enjoying drinks home alone, and making stupid decisions involving alcohol. Having beers while playing your favorite games or chatting on skype at home is completely different from downing a fifth of vodka and going for a drive.
