Its that questioning stage of am I an alcoholic? & if so, how much of one..
Don't black out much? Social drinkers generally don't black out at all. Maybe try some controlled drinking. Try to limit yourself to only two drinks at a sitting. See how you feel. If you can't stop at two, or if stopping at two just makes you miserable, you may have something to think about. For me, I can't have even one. If I have one, I'll want 14. Just the way I'm wired. That's why I can't drink at all. Everyone is different. But do stay here on SR. We're all here for you!
