You drink all day unless you start in the morning;)
I stayed home last night instead of taking my wife out to an Irish bar to drink with her friends. I was ill and really did not want the hastle of dealing with a crowded smokey bar full of drunken women withj large tits. My cold sucks and I have survival camping this weekend.
Now if she would have brought me a gallon of margaritas or a gallon of rum and coke, I would have drank til I puked.
It only takes ONE drink a year to be an alcoholic. 
It's all about the use of that ONE drink that is the determining factor.
Sean: Something like...5 or 6 exits up from there...never counted. But 3 after the 125/94 interchange, I know that much. 
IN RE Dreaming about drinking...
I once had a dream inwhich I took a hit of acid. Good dream til I woke up.
Right, it involves both aspects, the quantity and the psychological addiction. Of course if you drink much every day you're an alcoholic, wether you know it or not. If you drink a beer and feel edgy if you miss it then it's certainly not a real addiction to the substance, but a psychological problem (it's almost as you're addicted because you think you are, even if you actually aren't). Of course it's still less dangerous anyway, better being addicted to a beer after work than to 10 cigarettes a day (which is another psychological problem, it's true cigarettes contain addictive substances, but if you don't smoke too much you can quit when you want, I always do when I have flu, I don't feel bad and then I start smoking again only because I need it with my mind who likes the taste and to release tension). In this case, I just wouldn't worry. Don't feel guilty for a beer, but don't feel bad if you miss it. Take it easy. Then try to miss it for a couple of days, but don't wonder "oh what will happen when I get home and don't dtrink my beer", don't worry, it won't happen anything unless you expect it to happen. Sometimes we build ourselves our problems. If you don't worry it'll be alright.
yeah, i'm concerned with the psychology. but i don't think it is much of a problem now, i just don't want it to be a problem in the future. no worries here. thanks all.
chucks, what do you say for a meet up sometime soon? should we try to rally all the san diegan noolers? all 3 (or 4) of us?

I tend not to worry about it all these days anymore. I had my period many moons ago where I was a drinking idiot...and I learned my lesson. So sue me if I like to come home and have a beer or 12. If someone really gives a rats poop enough to label me because if it or add me to a sheet of statistic, then I say that that person or persons needs to get a life even more than I do!!!
On the other hand...
Sean, we should definately sometime have a San Dog Piss-up. 
Originally posted by sean do you have a favorite spot?
Depends on my mood.
Sometimes...and in no particular order sir:
Hold on a minute...I need another drink (See thread on alcoholism)
The Field - Irish pub downtown. Actually, any damn Irish pub is good. Hooley's here in Rancho San Diego is great!!
The Island Bar - Great Coronado pub with live tunage.
Caines - Mission Beach, Live bands, Booze...and the best Carnitas in town!!
But ultimately...I can care less!!!

ha ha! drunk.
what do you think of the princess pub?
My dad was an alchoholic just after my parents were married, staying out late, being gone for awhile, and being abusive toward my mother. That taught me a lot about what to do if I ever started drinking (my mom and grandparents would've never approved of me starting at any rate back then); using it as a means to empower oneself at the expense of others is definitely not worth it.
That being said, I still like to have a drink or four, but almost always on the weekend (it's a good way to unwind after a hard week on Friday), I've gotta get up way too early most weekday mornings to allow myself that indulgence. Rest assured that the memories of the rough times my parents had (good news, they're still married, it's better than ever for them), it's just important to keep in mind that alcohol is a very tricky monster to keep ahold of, luckily it's worked out well for me.
