    1. What’s your country and religion if you don’t mind me asking? I find it interesting that you didn’t have any drinks on Christmas.

      I have absolutely no idea how anyone can have 1-2 drinks and stop.

      It’s so much easier for me to just abstain. My chart for the year would be 95% green, with freckles of *deep purple*

      You fit the bill for medical alcoholism. 14 or more drinks per week with episodes of binge drinking.

    4. For others reading it: the totals are total *days* drinking, not total drinks.

      I thought it was the latter at first, and thought “that math is way off” but realized what it’s supposed to be after a minute (to be fair, the data isn’t labeled very well).

      Hope this helps someone else that got confused similarly to how I did.

      I’m all seriousness, appreciate your authenticity and honesty, takes allot to be honest like OP

      Get ready for a thousand Reddit non-drinkers to call you an alcoholic. Seems to be the trend.

      Rookie numbers. (Just kidding.) Seeing all these posts has really shown me how surprising that I was able to remain a functional alcoholic the last half of last year.

      I’d buy a liter of whiskey on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Saturday’s liter rarely made it to Monday so I’d buy an 8 pack of 16oz beers on Sunday as a failsafe. My logic being that I would be judged harshly to be seen in the liquor store two consecutive days. I was already there 3x a week. I hardly doubt trip number 4 would have tarnished my already stellar reputation.

      Being an alcoholic isn’t like in the movies.

      My mattress has never been pissed stained. My tooth enamel has not been ravaged by chronic vomiting and is perfectly intact. The hangovers weren’t even that bad unless I drank an entire liter in one night.

      It just made me a fat, depressed chain smoker… but a lot of people do that sober. Well, it did also give me pretty good case of wet brain.. but, I kind of enjoyed that in a fucked up way. Life is less stressful when you’re nearly constantly whiskey lobotomized.

      I don’t know why I’m writing this all out. I guess for a small catharsis that allows me to reflect upon my misplaced pride of my own self loathing? Boredom? A vain attempt to garner the attention my inner child never had?
