You might be an alcoholic if .....

Comedian Jeff Foxworthy had a very funny routine about, You might be a redneck if.... You mow your lawn and find your car.

Here is a few to get us started.

You might be an alcoholic if.....

You are too drunk to fish (This is from Foxworthy)

You hide your booze so well even you can not find it

You are too drunk to walk so you have to drive home

You are worried about the trash man and empty bottles

The cheap vodka company's stock tanked when you stopped drinking

You break stuff to make it work better - or because your pissed off at it for not working (ie, a hammer to the TV set) "I will show you whose boss!" *smash smash*

you have plumbing problems, so you call a plumber, he needs to look at the pipes, so goes down the basement and lift up part of your suspended ceiling and empty bottles start falling on his head

making drinks is too much trouble for you...instead you chug it right out of the bottle.

you start thinking you need more alcohol before the bottle is half way empty

Believe it or not a MI buddy of mine in AA did the same thing with the same result. We all do the same insane things

...if getting dressed, finding money, getting to the liquor store and back again is as big a challenge to you as D-Day was to the Allies.

if you Google signs of alcoholism, take the test, pass with flying colors, ignore the results, continue drinking and wake up a year later surprised to realize you are an alcoholic.
We are remodeling and there are still so many cans and bottles to find.
But I was fine and dandy
