How much do you have to drink before it becomes an alcoholism issue?

How much do you have to drink before it becomes an alcoholism issue?

Not gonna expose anyone, but I'm part of the youtube drinking community. On average, I drink prob 2 - 40oz of malt liquor at least twice a week. Tonight, I've had 42 oz of Magnum, 40oz of cobra, and 25oz bud ice with plenty to spare.

>YouTube drinking community
literally what

What are those cards?

not OP but it literally says Arby's enjoy a free meal
are you blind or just have shit for brains

Im blind i guess and in my country we dont have arbys

Elaborate on this YouTube drinking community. What is it exactly? You don't have to make names. I'm a bit of an old fag so don't really get the whole YouTube celebrity thing.

As for the alcoholism, it's more of a habit than how much you drink. I can easily go through a litre of whisky in a night, but can go months with nothing.

If you drink enough to get drunk every day, then you're damaging yourself and borderline alcoholic. If you wake up and need alcohol to get out of bed then you're a full blown alcoholic. Alcoholism is a pattern not a binge.

And this stupid 'oz' ..ounces.. does it measure volume I guess? Or weight? Who knows?

save your money.

Isnt ounces volume because it is labaled on some shampoo bottles but thats about it.

2 bottles of Chardonnay a night or no sleep

I've heard pot heads go on about 'ounces' of weed though?
In the same breath, burgers say things like a 40ouncer for a beer? I don't know??

ounces is imperial mass, fluid ounces is imperial volume. Both referred to as "ounces".

Because imperial is stupid.
>t. american

NOT A CRIMINAL

I guess it meanwhile ounces. Coz Ameritards weigh shit in ounces too. Will America ever go metric? They inherited their measuring system from the uk who are now metric, so when is it America's turn?

Not sure they'll be able to cope tbh.

Meanwhile = means fluid

There we have it QUADS. totally agree it's retarded on all.. scales.

OP = binge drinker not alcoholic.

Now wtf is this youtube drinking community? Is it real or bait?

google YTDC. we're just a bunch of dudes who sit around drinking 40's of malt liquor and talking shit about each other.

I drink maybe one-three times a week. i am a full time ebay dropshipper and it rarely affects my sales. I've done 200+ sales in the past 30 days and my worst offense is missing a handful(5-6) shipments for being hungover one day.

I believe this info is on governemt/AA sites

Kek

>the youtube drinking community
Which is what? Autistic garbage?

Ok so this is pretty normal, except most people do it with actual real life friends and don't film it because that's just pure cringe.

gotta min-max that ad revenue, breh.

Guys really, get on the metric train.
>One cubic metre of water
>At sea level
>Weighs exactly one metric tonne.
>Water boils at 100c
>Water freezes at 0c
>At sea level.

The metric system. It's science. It's Understandable. It works.

Can you drink a bunch of thermometers

It looks like you barley drink and just the the Trump hat and the money [Probably Printed or some shit] and just took a picture. It looks 100% stereotypical. That's just fucking retard

at least once daily

Fl. Oz. measures volume of liquids. Oz. Is a measure of weight equal to 1/16th of a pound.

So you advertise your eBay Stuff? Or need the extra money from other ads? Do people even watch this? Why? Or are they part of the community too?

You know it so that happen?
An inch is such a damn fine handy measurement.

Hi OP.
Recently got help to quit drinkin.
I was consuming 6 units a day within the span of 1-2 hours in the evening for 4 years.
This put me in the danger category where you can devellop epileptic seizures or delirium from withdrawal.

So where I live a double vodka in a bar is 70ml, what is a double vodka on a bar in US? I got so hammered when I was in Florida, wondering if the imperial system got me or if I was just being dumb.

Checked
Again, I'm the metric guy making sense of the crucial word missing from the front of the phrase

If you have to ask, it's a problem.

Loan me some money

It's not an issue until you have drunk away your home. Until then, drink whatever you like and how much you feel is okey my friend.

You have a six pack a day to chill the fuck out after a day?
Dude, you are not going into delirium tremors after that. It will be hard, but you will just keep upping it till it gets out of hand... Then it will get super real.

Ok so I googled the youtube drinking community and kek!

According to this article it's all about the malt liquor which used to be edgy in the 90s when Ice Cube drank it. Then the years passed and the edges softened and it was picked up by white guys who in their soyboy excitement took to drinking it on youtube.

I drink about a litre of 25% booze every night. Still a binge drinker, rather than a physically-dependent addict.

No, it isn't healthy.

He's barely a binge drinker, he just wants viewers for "muh ad revenue".

If you wanna question my capabilities, I regularly outdrink/outsmoke.the biggest dudes at college parties. I'm 30 though, but Im 5'9" and look like I'm 23-25. 250lb dudes that regularly do 30 racks give me props for outdrinking them.

Kys faggit

No u, swill fag. I make $200+ a day doing basically nothing.

Lucky you have that, then. Otherwise you would be worthless huh

Why do you take pride in your role as social parasite?

I make $150 a day working my ass of. Still would rather be me than some cringe fag filming myself drinking

Dual bachelors in IT and biz. I make more working 2-3 hrs a day than sysadmins pulling 10+ hour shifts around here. I make more selling fuckin' dragon dick lube than guys working FT for compsci degree wages.

I always thought it was 100ml for a double but i could be wrong... Also a lot of bartenders here tend to hook people up since drunk people tip better

That's what they told me.
I joined this AA thingy and they basically got pissed off at me for trying to quit drinking without medication.
I haven't had a drink in 4 weeks now and immediately left the AA.
No side-effects other than the typical withdrawal.
These weren't only six packs though.
This varied from 2 bottles of whine to a bottle of whisky.
Just always a minimum of 6 units.
I have to add that I have a gastric bypass, so i'm piss drunk after half a liter of beer.

...

My 5ft5 110lb gf would be barely tipsy from drinking what you originally posted. She is British tho and they drink a lot over there. I'm 6ft1 and fat and she outdrinks me easily. Size means nothing.

I'm a full stack developer, my contracts pull in £400-500 a day. That 'day' of work takes me 3-5hrs usually.

Oops I didnt know you were meant to tip the barkeeper. I fucking read up on the tipping thing before I went too, but didn't see that. Makes sense tho, they're basically a drink waiter.

Super jealous of you. I honestly envy legit CS devs who know what they're doing and enjoy it. RN, all I do is copy/paste buyer addresses into a program for $200-$300 proft each day.. I'm just an advanced IT/technician who's good at communicating and has business sense.

I taught python for high school kids last summer and it was a blast. Easiest money I've ever made. We just did shit through codecademy and minecraft pi (school paid for the equipment).

Op here, the local bars have shit selection so Im usually forced to just order yuengling but it's like 2.75/bottle. I dont feel like it's worth tipping $1 to crack open a fuckin beer. Am I in the wrong?

It’s gross.

I can’t help it your metric system is witchcraft and I’ll hsve none of it

is this over?

I did a bachelor's in CS too and learned nothing useful for what I do now. It's all about keeping up to date with the latest trends really, that's what gets me the better contracts. Devs tend to pick their languages and stick with them for life. Your job sounds much more chill tho.

Boozers are losers.

Are those Arbys coupons? Tf....

Yeah, arbys coups but the local franchisee's have caught on. I've got a dozen restaurants' within 50 miles rejecting the coupons because they claim they're fake lol.

i remember my first malt liquor drink was old english. had a friend in hs who could get that shit by the case. he pretty much introduced me to drinking

Eh, I make solid profit but I'm slowly crawling out of $20k+ debt. Reselling is piss easy income but I'm envious of nerds who can navigate CS bullshit within the confines of corporate bureaucracy.

Like the OP I use to drink malt liquor on a daily basis. 211, icehouse edge and natty daddy. One day i drank 3 40 oz of blue bull in 1 day. Just joined AA last summer, one of the best things i ever did

Op here. A six pack of beer/shots each evening was enough to cause you physical issues? DT's or whatev? I've never had them, but I do have several 50-60 y/o uncles who are lifelong addicts that will seizure over like two bombers.

its so fucking pathetic. One of them is on city counsel and you can literally sit downtown and see him every fucking day driving around and drinking a tallboy while he's cruising in the biggest suburban extended cab in town.

it fuggin kills me, cause my gma, gpa, and mother have spent their whole lives taking over 50+ rental properties in this town.

Its not thay its alcoholism. Its the fact you drink shit ass alcohol bro. I drink about the same as you but not that cheap nigger shit.

>211, natty, icehouse
NOT REAL MALT LIQOUR

RESPECT THE BLUEPRINT, FAGGOT. LABEL OUT, NO DORF FOAM, FUCK YOU FAT REGGIE

I spent my early 20's working at a university and trying to impress girls buying top shelf bullshit. No one fucking cared.

I was more popular when I'd show up to parties with colonial club and komchatka filtered through a Brita pitcher and put into Belvedere or Goose bottles.

I drink 6 shots of vodka a day am I a alcohol?

go to bed sputnik

Yeah if read abit further, a few posts below, you'll see that I have a gastric bypass. So i have a faster and larger alcohol intake than normal people.
It's also what caused my addiction in the first place, because it's so easy to get drunk.
A few months ago someone i knew who also has this surgery drunk herself into a coma.
That's when they told her about 70% with GP devellop an alcohol addiction within 2 years.
And i started looking at myself.
I was hungover, tired, disconnected from reality every single day.
When i finally quit, for 2 weeks my stomach would practically beg for a drink, it's frightening just how dependant you become.
It's gradually getting better now, but they say drinkers like us will never be able to drink lik normal people.
I'd like to be the 1% here, but i fear this is an attempt at rationalising to be able to drink again, an excuse if you will.

There is no arbitrary number or volume of alcohol that makes you an alcoholic. If alcohol causes problems in your life and those problems are becoming increasingly harder to manage then you might have a drinking problem. If you'd tried to slow down your drinking (with moderation and/or breaks) in the past and went right back to where you were then you might have a drinking problem. There are many types of alcoholic, not just the two-pints-a-night vodka guzzler. Binge drinking IS a form of alcohol abuse when it causes regret, remorse, shame, embarrassment, or wishing last night didn't happen. Being unable to stop once you start, being able to drink more than you used to, lying about or hiding your drinking, drinking to relax or feel better, and trying to quit and being unable to are all part of alcohol abuse. Other people can tell you if you have an alcohol abuse problem. But alcoholism? There's only one person that can admit that or deny it.

Op here. I've been through counseling post a couple divorces but no official alcoholism diagnoses. Dated a psych doctor for 4+ yrs and know I'm not a clinical alcoholic. All the males in my fam are drug/alc addicts but it rarely interferes with my day to day (once or twice a month I'll miss shipping same day, tops).

I drink for views and boredom, just bullshitting other ytdc members, tbh. Don't wanna become like my uncle's though. Stealing $11k from my grandma isn't cool, unlike one of my addict uncles last year.

I'm the only child of this generation out of five uncle's/aunt's/mother's/fathers. I have at least a mil in rental property inheretance coming my way.

Surely my $20/wk habit isn't harming me that much?

I'm guessing you're fine.
Though binging for only 2 days a week can very wel become dangerous as well.
Just keep it in moderation because it gets out of control quickly

>ebay dropshipper.
i hate fucking scum like you.
people order shit on your ebay store you dont even own, then you use a real website like amazon to send them their shit.
>constantly moving from one site to another, as they get sick of you leeching & eventually ban you.

i hope you become an alcoholic and suffer. lots.

I do smoke/jerk almost every day to sissy/cuck porn. That's a bigger concern for me than the alcohol.

nah, amazon hates that shit and will cancel prime real quick if you try it.

Don't hate because people are willing to pay more rather than waste time shopping around ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

exactly, amazon hates that shit and i guarantee whatever store youre currently abusing hates it too.

my employer has flushed a few of those assholes before and theres currently 2 on the chopping block that are soon to receive polite letters basically telling them to fuck off.
> i pray to the flying spaghetti monster you're my dropshipper 'aj', and will be so happy when the announcement comes the leech was removed.

nah, not me. Walmart doesnt give a fuck, home depot doesnt give a fuck, etc. Very few companies seem to care that I drop tens of thousands at their store and ship to various addresses with gift cards purchased at 5%-10% below retail with a 2% cashback card..

Id' agree with this You don't really sound all that bad, but if you're wondering about it then maybe there is something to it. The problem is progression (drinking with increased frequency and volume). You might not be fine now but in three months you can end up wondering what the fuck happened. It doesn't always happen, and it doesn't happen to everybody - but when it does it happens quickly. It's a true "I'm fucking up my job, relationships and life" moment.

I do dub 40s maybe 4 or 5 times a week, hardly alcoholic, i can go months without, some people kill a handle of 80 proof daily and get the shakes if they dont drink

Tldr you're just a casual drinker

I absolutely agree, I map telecom lines and it's complete bullshit, 12 inches in a foot and 5280 feet per mile, metric would make everything faster and easier but we are too deep in the wrong system to go back now as so many fucktards would reee about the change because they can't do easier math . . . It really baffles me

I like x2 40s because it's just right for me, if i have a case of beer i drink too much

Hmmm quads......

It does not depend on "how much" you drink.

If you, at will, can stay sober for 3 months, well, then, you're not a drunkie alcoholist.

>bud ice

BUD ICE

Britfag here, absolutely cackling at Amerifags choice of drink.

BUD ICE.

FUCKING MALT LIQUOR AND BUD ICE HAHAHAAHAHAHAA

HEY 90S SNOOP GET ME A BUD ICE AND a 40 OMG

Yeah, dub 40s seem to be my sweet spot. Anything after that feels like I'm chasing something and never get there. Had two bud ice 25ozs since finishing the two 40s and I'm just putting off going to sleep.

Genuine question why do you drink this absolute dogshit-tier drink? Is it part of your MAGA plan?

I generally get through half a 70cl bottle of good scotch ($50+ a bottle) or bourbon per night. If you're too much of a poorfag to drink properly maybe don't drink at all.

Realize when you've lost what you want to lose. Thats my advice. Not exercising self control is a problem. What is the goal of your drinking. If it is to avoid something, you shouldn't drink at all. If you are drinking because of the "feeling" then try just having 1 glass of wine and calling it a done night and going to bed instead. Your future self will thank you.

Guys this video will explain the solution

youtube.com/watch?v=VTSCppeFzX4

Dude, I drink craft bs all the time. Dark brews, I'm not into all the grassy hop bs, but $10 12-15% imperial stouts are p regular. I just picked up the bud ice for $1.10/25oz can on sale last night. I'm not some snob.

Meme ytdc b/s. It's not that bad. Can cop a p solid buzz for under $5. I can drop $300/wk on top shelf but I don't get any more views than spending $20 on premium malt liquor.

"YouTube alcoholic group"
When your body starts burning and your collecting coins from your familys livingroom Floor to buy a beer to stop shaking, your an alcoholic, when your too ashamed to quit cause youve already done stupid Shit for a year straight your probably an alcoholic, or you just drink 12 drinks a day respectally and function your an alcoholic. It's not all bad, your not a alcoholic you should mix it with opiates and die faggot.

so trump voters are all wigger trash??

Fucking amateur, shoot heroin

Did $200k+ gross/$53k net last year working 2hrs/day from home. It's all under a relative's account and I don't have to pay taxes. i pay $300/mo rent and regularly fuck 19-24/yos thanks to the local campus. fuck with me.
