hmmm, interesting question. I certainly don't hate myself, but if I'm being honest, I don't particularly love myself either. Hate is a pretty strong word. I don't like myself when I drink but not because I go bananas and do crazy stupid things, I don't like the way I feel physically and mentally the next day (sometimes two days).
When I drink excessively its for one of 2 reasons. One is I'm doing something that is really fun and I enjoy, AND I know its safe. Like if my wife is with me, she can drive etc...Two, would be because my life is not turning out the way I would have hoped. Some of it my own fault, much of it is not. I don't drink excessively for reason number 2 very often, its ugly.
