Boone's Farm for me too. And who can forget the cunning "Little Kings" beer. Age 16 or so.

I just don't want to spend the rest of my life thinking of myself as an alcoholic.
then don't - the labels less important than what you do about it IMO.

If you're right about yourself, and I have no reason to doubt you, if you don't drink, or substitute some other drug for it when dealing with those reasons you used to drink, you'll be fine cuyootoo.

I started drinking at age 14 and by age 18 I knew that my drinking was DRASTICALLY different than everyone else I knew. I remember taking the "Are you and alcoholic" questionair's and seeing that I qualified. I spend the next 17 years trying to convince myself that the tests where wrong.

For me, I have known that I drink abnormally for a very long time and it did not take long to figure that out.

Just my two cents...
