I might be an alcoholic if___________________
 
The local recycling company called me offering to drop off a 40 yard dumpster for my glass and cans - seems there's quite a shortage.

I know exactly how many beers are in the fridge at all times and when I'll need to volunteer to run up to the store for a gallon of milk.

I smile to myself thinking I have found the perfect hiding place for the vodka bottle but suddenly can't remember where that is?!

I lie so often to cover up the fact that I need to go get hammered instead of being responsible I almost forget how to tell the truth.

Gottalife 05-27-2018 10:14 PM

I go for drinks and keep coming hope at the right time on the wrong day.

When you're managing your budget and factoring in your alcohol requirements for the week. And if your budget is short you start removing necessities.

Distorted Me 05-28-2018 09:26 AM

I start drinking vodka on the rocks at 8 a.m. just because I can.

keeppushing 05-28-2018 11:32 AM

I get angry and defensive if someone mentions my drinking.

Yes, like food, soap and deodorant!

For me, i wouldn't go to any social event if there wasn't going to alcohol there

Amusic 05-28-2018 12:15 PM

My boyfriend tells me he's not drunk when he is drunk. This is how both parties become certifiably insane....

Sioux 05-28-2018 02:14 PM

Everything that comes out of my mouth is a lie and I break out in a rash of handcuffs when I drink.

Hevyn 05-28-2018 02:25 PM

I take vodka in an empty water bottle to work.
I become confrontational & am told "You're not yourself". (Hated that!)
I have beer for breakfast. (Have to stop the shakes, you know...)

PeacefulWater12 05-28-2018 03:23 PM

Oh my, flashback! I put vodka in empty water bottle too to carry with me, also in bottles of Diet Pepsi to drink in my work out classes!

Yikes, I had forgotten about that.

Bailey3 05-28-2018 05:07 PM

I become conscious and, my first thought is: where’s my dog!?

I have to check my fridge, cupboards and, garbage to see what and if I ate!

Tang 05-29-2018 04:50 AM

I tell myself I won't drink today and I do.

Wastinglife 05-29-2018 06:01 AM

I haven't told the truth about anything for 5 years.

16YearsDrunk 05-29-2018 06:19 AM

... when you're actually considering spending a considerable amount of money on a hip flask. I forgot about that one.

LOL - too right TomSteve :lmao

You inject an orange with copious amounts of vodka. For your lunch. As you do.

SaturatedSeize 05-29-2018 09:15 AM

I had pockets sown into the back of my boxer shorts so I could sneak booze into places I get searched (events, etc).

I keep a large, empty, fast-food, cup, in my car so I can put a can of beer inside and cover it up with the cover so it looks like I'm drinking soda out of a straw.

I wake up in the morning and check my phone out of fear of what I said to people the previous night when I didn't care.

Shower Beers.

The random, empty, bottles, cans, around my house due to sneaking booze when I went to the bathroom, or changed my clothes.

NoOneKnowsWho 05-29-2018 09:26 AM

I carry reusable grocery bags so it looks like I've been to Whole Foods instead of the liquor store, just so my neighbors won't know how much I drink.

blueberry2015 05-30-2018 04:51 PM

I do online tests to see if im an alcoholic in the hope it will convince me that im not.

daredevil 05-30-2018 04:56 PM

if i find myself on SR.

Buckley3 05-31-2018 05:04 PM

I'd unscrew a litre of gin and throw away the cap, saying "won't be needing that anymore..."

Change gin to rum or whiskey and saying "challenge accepted"

Eddiebuckle 05-31-2018 08:18 PM

having to call the host with regrets hours before the party I've been looking forward to for weeks because I'm too drunk to drive.

Outonthetiles 05-31-2018 11:02 PM

Two water bottles for bicycling, one for water, one for vodka.

PhoenixJ 06-01-2018 12:15 AM

..buy cheap 4-5 L white wine in a bag ('goon sack') and get the counter guy to take it out of the box- so I can put it in my backpack- and it does not look like booze, but have an old towel in the backpack to pad the wine bag..so I does not puncture.

Hevyn 06-01-2018 05:33 PM

Weren't we just so clever?! :02:

lessgravity 06-01-2018 06:38 PM

I'm here, again.

I once went to an event which lasted a whole day (it was someone’s anniversary party) and they didn’t serve a single drop of alcohol! I wondered, ‘What kind of people are these??!!!! 🤔🤪😒😔😩😡🤯😳
