You don’t have a drinking problem, right?

You hardly touch the stuff, am I right?

Sure last Friday you were absolutely smashed at a party, but that don’t count it was a mates birthday.

And Saturday night? You and your mates were supposed to be staying in the night. What turned into a few bourbons, followed by a few vodkas, followed by a few shots? Which ended up with you been bundled into a taxi in the early hours of the morning!

You wake up the next morning with a killing headache, a mouth as dry as the sahrah desert. Oh crap you’ve lost your mobile on the way too.

You might not think that the occasional big boozing session is that harmful. Anyway you still work-out and eat salads for lunch during the week so you should be alright. But believe it or not getting trashed on the week ends still count as alcohol abuse.

Do any of you actually know the difference between misuse and dependence of alcohol?

Well misuse is when you get yourself so drunk that you get yourself stuck in stick situations. Ever heard of the term beer goggles? It’s when you’re at a party and after a few mr alright turns into mr gorgeous.

On the other hand dependence is total addiction to alcohol. You can’t go through one day or even a gap of a few hours without a drink or even a few swigs.

Alcoholics are just old men with big fat noses but in fact ...
