I am new to this but there is NO WAY I could have had that shot and felt like that was enough. There are different extents of alcohol addiction/dependence and you don't seem to be that advanced. You may not yet be or ever will be a alcoholic but I'm definitely sure you would be described as a problem drinker, if for no other reason than it causes you problems. Now why don't you access the social aspects of your life (I myself have problems with this). I'm sure you would feel better the next morning if you had a few drinks with a friend at their house and watched a DVD than you would after getting drunk, going to a rave and popping tablets or whatever. NO alcohol agrees with me but alcohol may not be your problem, rather your circle of friends or life choices may be. At the time partying is very enjoyable. It's an escape. I loved it. But like you I pay for it later and it just isn't worth the problems (depression, guilt, injury, embarrassment etc.).
