Sounds as if your more along the lines of a "funtional alcoholic" I know a lot of people that are able to pull it off. They maintain everything in their life..they just drink every single day no matter what. If its not causing you problems or never has it shouldnt be a concern like you said...other than the whole health issue. If you worry about that sort of thing. Which obviously you should be very concerned with...I can relate cause there are times I wake up and my livers laying next me waving a little white flag I feel like. I just guzzle a couple bottles of water then pour BC powder in a powerade for the cloudy daze im in sometimes. After that a can of NOS energy drink to get me going once on the job site and im good to go. Funny thing is ive gotten to where I only smoke like 1 cigg a day until I drink..then its like a pack in a few hours. Which does help with the raspy sound when im singing and playing. Dont know if you smoke or not but I think everyones cigg intake go's up when their drinking.

Sounds about right for me. Except I don't take any kind of medication... hilariously enough... because I don't want to add to the liver damage. lol... But I do hit up the energy drinks. I grab a NOS or [more recently] those UFC sponsored ones, I forget the name... they're sugar free.. those. Down one BEFORE I drink, because we all know that the more you drink, the more it zonks you out earlier.
I ordinarily only smoke about half a pack of ciggs, but when drinking, I smoke a whole pack.
Oh! just remembered.. I ordered one of those e-cigarettes today. It was cheap, so I figure I'd give it a try. Will report back, but hopefully that's able to at least help me cut down.

Alcoholism isn't a disease. For all the alcoholics out there you can just quit. Pretty easy stuff, stop drinking. I've been dependent on it once and some of my close friends have it's easy to realize when you start to rely on it and it becomes a problem like all substances. As for alcohol I consider it a drug. It affects your consciousness just like any other legal/illegal intoxicant. Its always bugged me how my peers and teachers put alcohol seperate to drugs such as "drugs and alcohol are bad." I have nothing against alcohol it's just an acceptable way of getting intoxicated instead of smoking a joint or tripping off some fungus which are deemed BAD ways of getting intoxicated and worse ILLEGAL! Unfortunatley there's plenty of less harmful substances out there that are demed illegal as mentioned.
