What "normal" drinkers dont do...

-give themselves a set number of drinks, like 2, and then far exceed that set limit.
-lie about how much they have had to drink. Ex: I only had 2 or 3. How about adding those together.
-hide bottles in and around your property.
-spend most of the day deciding when to open that bottle of wine.
-change the store you buy your alcohol from because you feel the same place shouldn't see you more than once, twice a week.
-put the (haha I laugh at this cuz I've done this many times), put the iced tea jugs and milk jugs and soda bottles on top of the 20 pounds of beer bottles so the trash man doesn't think you are a drunk.
Feel free to add to the list!

People who can control their drinking don't have a voice in their head telling them they can.

People who can control their drinking don't post on a thread about it on an alcohol recovery forum...

Normal drinkers don't struggle to stay away from the stuff...

You can have reasons, or you can have results, but you can't have both.

Normal drinkers don't ride their bicycle with two flat tires a mile to the gas station to buy beer because they don't want to drive drunk.

Normal drinkers don't nip into the kitchen during parties and social events to quickly gulp down an extra large glass of wine in between the drinks that their host has offered them.

Normal drinkers don't head to the grocery store at 6am Saturday or Sunday to buy booze...and an additional $40 of groceries they don't need just so the cashier won't think they came in at 6am just to buy alcohol.

Sadly, I did that many times.

Normal drinkers don't watch Star Trek TNG with Whiskey and Orange juice at 7 AM, and tell themselves it's OK to drink this early because of the orange juice.

Madness...Remember the captain saying ENGAGE...and me taking that as the cue to drink the whole drink in one shot.

MADNESS.

Still enjoy the odd episode of Star Trek TNG however...

Wake up saying "Never Again" only to find yourself repeating the process the very same day.

Normal drinkers don't understand why you don't just stop drinking.

Normal drinkers don't finish all the booze in the house to "get rid of it so there isn't any left and I can start fresh tomorrow. .."

Normal drinkers don't sucking mints cos they're paranoid about the smell.

Normal drinkers don't pile make up on to cover their red booze face.

I also arrange my recycle bin and often but bottles in the bags of household waster so there aren't so many in the recycling.
I know some one that takes empties out with them and dumps then in public bins

Cool

'Normal drinkers' don't drink for the buzz; when they start to feel the buzz, they stop.

Normal drinkers don't chug, they sip. They also don't generally drink liquor straight out of the bottle.

Normal drinkers don't post embarrassingly stupid crap to their own Facebook pages while hopelessly drunk.
