Yo!!! dude's you all need to chill down!! I drink, im fine,


having a glass or wine or lager with a meal (lager if you want to spoil a meal) is fine, but its not for me, some people will say "just the one" and then go on to have 4 or 6 glass and not be able to stop.


then its a self control problem, you choose to over drink, there are many sources of help you can reach out too. If you dont then i hate to be brutal but you live with the consequences.


its not has black and white has that though.


Well there are always circumstances, that dont make it so 'black and white' however, it really does boil down to self control. Its a choice to lift the glass to your mouth and drink. If you know you are prone ot abuse with drugs/drinking then stay away from it.
It isn't self control, they can't help it. Telling an alcoholic to control their drinking by themselves is like asking a scitzophrenic person to control their personalities, it isn't that simple, maybe you're the one who shouldnt make it so black and white Wink


i said in my first statement that there are groups AA etc that they can get help through. I personally think seeing a doctor/therapy or group meetings can be an excellent choice, but they have to want to and go to those groups. Comparing sctzophrenia and alcoholism is apples and oranges. Life is about choices, you make yours and you live with the consequences.

Mmhmm. And when you are an alcoholic, prehaps you are so far caught, you cant go to a doctor/therapy or a group meeting.

People cant always just go and do things, its not that simple. Not everyone is like that, and when you're an alcoholic, your mind is very complex.

In alot of countries with low drinking ages, Rehab programs are extremely difficult to get into and are not all that effective either.

My first reaction is that you are responisble for being so far caught. Second, the only person who can make the choice to go to see a dotcor/thearpist is you. You have to make the choice. If you dont then you live with the consquences. Life is hard, we all know that through our own experiences, and we make the choice to work through them just as an alcoholic does.

I take it you have never had an alcohol addiction or know what it's like, You can't deny human physcology, it isn't only their fault. You don't just become an alcoholic overnight, it's not that simple. Once your addicted, you making it sound like they can just go "opps, look what I did, time to quit" It doesnt work like that, at all.

Yeah, thats true. Its not a descision you can just make if you're an alcoholic.

This is to all those kids who drink to get drunk every weekend.

My friend just went to hospital, because of alcohol poisoning. She is just like you. Every time I see her, actually, she is talking about the next time she is going to get drunk. I catch the train with her, and her friends, and they all plan it and so on.

Yeah, she went to hospital last night because of alcohol poisoning. I know this probably won't stop you, but think about it. Her parents are now aware of what she does. She will not be trusted for a very long time. She will not be allowed to do anything. This will result in fights with her parents, many many fights, leading to her hating her parents.

Her friends will also have their parents told. They will not be trusted. Her friends may even be i ntrouble with the police.

Mmhmm. Its not cool to drink. You just look like an idiot, a fool. And if you think nothing can happen, well, so did my friend.

i in no way intended to sound that way. Alcoholism is a big problem and has many contrbuting factors, however you need to want to make the change. Some people can make it right away, some cant. But however long it takes you its ultimtely your choice to make. Ive struggled with other addictions, and i dont think i need to go further explaining, its hard to break an addiction, yes, but its possible.

The worst thing in the world is watching someone destroying themselves and feeling powerless to help them? What do you say to a sixteen year old alcoholic?

arrange with a clinic to have him walk around and see the damage he is doing to himself, watch the people go in and out of hospitals who have been beaten up or fallen over all because they are drunk and say to him you are danger of becomming that person, it may seem harse but to a certain degree you need to be harsh

well i get drunk almost every weekend and me and all my drinking buddies plan it out, but it doesnt even matter if we get caught because in our town most adults are alco's and you only get a warning the first time and they dont even care, ive been drunk at heaps of parties since i was 14 and the cops have showed up so many times and not even cared. You have to drink alot to egt alcohol poisening anyway and usually you pass out before then anyway. Im not saying getting drunk is cool or anything. I just enjoy getting drunk and the feeling that it gives me, i like losing my inhibitions. It so much easier to meet people when you are smashed (in my opinion) and we dont reallly do anything too stupid cos we organise someone who is going to drive/ stay sober and check noone is doing anything dumb. And i know some poeple are thinking "omg that girl is far too young blah blah blah" im only 3 years under age, everyone else gets drunk, noone really cares when we get drunk anyway, its kind of an expectation in my town anyway.


alcohol poisening is what you get when you have an hangover, that is what i was told by my Dr anyway. As soon has you vomit because you have drunk to much that is also alchohol poisoning

If someone has problems and want to forget it by drinking alcohol, is wrong. He probably get adicted and get more problems, with his body for example. And when you go to a party, of course you wanna drink something with alcohol, but you don't need alcohol for having fun.

I got to a stage where i was drinking almost everynight and i thought Smirnoff was my best friend! That is not a good place to be, i was wrecking my body, teamed with the fact that i wasnt eating, i was in an and out of hospital.... Now, i still drink but not nearly as often and i try and stay away from Vodka! I made the excuse that i am young and i was enjoying myself, that was until the next morning and i felt like shit.
