A common misconception about the condition of alcoholism is that it's this one common experience, and that if you don't drink daily you're not affected. I was much the same way, I went through a drying out period that could be anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks. But eventually I would be back to attacking alcohol (that's definitely the best way to describe the way I drank). The only common experience with each individual is that they do not have the ability to control their drinking.
Cheers Paul. That's pretty much it.

And because I'm young and my mates binge too, you get the 'man up' comments and so on, passing it off as 'banter'. I wouldn't say I'm the worst by any means, you wouldn't be able to tell by looking at me as I look healthy, but I want to nip it in the bud now before it gets worse (which it was).

I hope you have some kind of support system in place. I'm not telling you what to do, mind you, just sharing my own experience.
Yeah, I'm doing the best I can without going into detail.
