Well, Whaddya Think? « Stuff Important to Me »

So I've been back for about 3 hours, and I couldn't wait to get all the "coming home" errands and crap done so I could crack open a specialty dark beer. I've had nothing like that for over a week, and I'm apparently in bad shape.

I don't think I'm an alcoholic, exactly, because I don't like drinking more than 2 (the inebriation of more than 2 in a short time span reduces your ability to taste, and so is not worth it to me), and I could care less about the other, stronger liquors in the house (including Jim Beam).

So what do you call this addiction of mine?

You're only an alcoholic if you go to meetings. Otherwise, you're just a drunk. :-)

Dark beer, huh? Sounds like good taste to me.

My dark "beer" choice is Guinness. I usually drink about two of 'em over a four hour period - just sipping a bit each time for the taste. I drink them so slowly that I never get a "buzz" on, mainly because I hate hangovers. I do this just about every day, so I must be an alcoholic, eh?

I drink my homemade stuff. Much better than anything I can buy ;)

Yeah, I gotta try that homemade method. If you got that good of results on your first try, it seems worth an attempt.

Alcoholism is a tricky thing...if you're sneaking and lying about your drinking, it's a problem. If you can't stop after one or two, it's a problem...I don't think you have a problem. I think you enjoy a good dark beer! Enjoy!

You like to relax once in a while with a fashionable adult beverage.

I'd say you have EIB but you didn't say anything about smoking fine cigars.
