I couldn't get any girls before, will this help me get some?
I know it's kind of a cold question, but I need to know. Do not spare my feelings because I do not know the alcoholic. This guy started drinking when he was about 16. It started light and progressed over the years. Previous generations before him were also alcoholics and all died because of horrible health problems due to alcohol. He knows this but yet, doesn't stop drinking. He drinks vodka consistently all throughout the day every day. He is about 40 now and hasn't stopped. He has also been a smoker for I don't know how long. Approximately how many years does he have left until he croaks?Please be honest and again, do not spare my feelings.
im doing a project on whether alcoholics should be given a liver transplant if they have been sober for six months.
my question is how do the NHS know someone has remained sober for those six months and not sneakily had a drink?
thank you
yes but they dont do blood tests every few days do they? do you know the actual process the NHS use?
I really need some sort of advice on this. I've been living with what I thought was the woman of my dreams but now she's driving me insane.
I'm 22 years old and I'm living with a 38 year old woman, I know it sounds weird but she's actually very pretty, she has really nice breast implants, and she's divorced from this really rich old guy and has A LOT of money.
Anyways, I've lived with her since I was 19, I met her for the first time when I was 15 and I could tell she liked me, she is one of my mom's friends, well was they don't talk much anymore, but anyway I started dating her after I turned 19, and I loved going out with her, she would buy me alcohol, pay for my gym membership, a personal trainer, and bought me a lot of stuff! I thought I was living the dream, so some time later she asked me to move in with her and I did.
Ok skipping ahead, I live with her now at her house (or should I say her ex-husband's house) and it is huge!!!! it has a swimming pool, and like a bunch of rooms, I loved living there, she even let me put my xbox in the living room hooked up to a giant TV!
but I know all this sounds awesome but the past 2 years have kinda been bittersweet, see she's an alcoholic, and I mean a really big alcoholic, I haven't really counted how much she drinks a day but AT LEAST 2 bottles of Gin. It's been getting really annoying, when she's drunk, she gets really depressed and starts crying and yelling and vomiting all over the place and I have to take care of her during that! for some reason if I just go back to playing my video games and ignoring her when she's drunk, she gets really upset and starts throwing things, hitting me, and the other day she broke my xbox!!! now she bought me another one the other day but come on! I was in the middle of playing skyrim!
Now I don't know what to do, her little drunken situations have been going on everyday now, and it's really making my life a living nightmare! i feel like a babysitter and the worst part is that when she's drunk and drinking more she wants me to drink liquor too! so i've done it to not upset her and now i'm waking up with a hangover as well! and the other day she got us both arrested after getting blazing drunk at a nice restaurant! she got arrested for public intoxication and i got arrested for disorderly conduct for maybe insulting the cops! it was so embarrasing.
So could I please get some advice as to what to do here? I really like this woman and I had been hoping to someday marry her, but now I feel so scared everyday when I see her drinking because I know what my night will be like! It's like taking care of a baby! and she doesn't even seem that hot anymore! I mean she still somehow I don't know how has a good body but seeing her drooling and vomiting everywhere is digusting!
So can I get some advice? What can I do? this woman pays for everything I do and is my meal ticket, and I'm pretty sure no other girl would even date me, so maybe I still have a pretty sweet deal. So how can I get her better without upsetting her? because I'm getting sick and tired of walking her at 2 in the morning while she walks outside drunk and falling everywhere and wants me to go with her!
Can I get some advice?
Ironically when I first met her I was the "alcoholic" as an underage drinker of 19 I drank about 6 beers a day! and I actually thought it was a lot
Roy- My fantasy would be all I wrote minus the drunken girlfriend, you're a retard how could this be anyone's fantasy? moron
@RoyS- oh that's nice buddy, you're so succesful, and proud of yourself... oh wait a second... =O then why are you on at night on yahoo answers "bragging" about a blue collar job, lol i might be a bum, but i'll never run any machine!!! faggot why did you even answer my question???
@Arabelle- Ok are you stupid??? are you really suggesting I get an alcoholic woman who drinks 2 bottles of Gin everyday to drink 5x more? that would be 10 bottles and therefore fatal!!! omg why did I even come on this website are you kidding me? If she actually did that she would die from alcohol poisoning! Idiot
@Roy- sorry about your disability
My husband just went to rehab today and I'm dying to hear from him. He went for being an alcoholic. So, I'm curious as to when I should get a phone call from him. Thank you.
I am doing an assignment and I have to find movies that portrays alcohol in them. I need movies that portrays children taking care of their alcoholic parents and how they grew up to be afterwards. Anything close to it would be fine. Ten points to the best answer. Thanks!
Hi guys.
I'm doing an undergraduate thesis on alcoholism and need a case study for my next chapter.I would like to do it on a documentary but am having difficulty finding an Irish one and as far as I know it has to be Irish.Has anyone any links of any they've come across which might be help full?
I've viewed an English one called 'Rain in my Heart' which was very powerful but unfortunately not Irish.
Thanks a million :)

My step dad drinks quite often, maybe 2 to 4 times a week. He mostly drink "coke&rum". On New Year, my family was at my grandparents' house and he finished a whole bottle of rum and around a whole bottle of vodka. He also opened a wine bottle that was a gift to my grandparents without even asking them. When he drink, he starts insulting my mom, and I hate it. She won't tell him to stop, she won't do anything about it.
So I was wondering, would he be considered an alcoholic? Is it considered alcoholism? Or does he just like drinking?
I'm going to be meeting my boyfriend's mother for the first time tomorrow, he has told me about her alcohol problem and depression. It has gotten bad enough that she's going to go and stay in a hospital soon.
Now, I have never met anyone before who has both of these things going on in their lives at the same time, is there anything I should be aware of? Careful of? I know I must sound pretty ignorant but I don't want to upset her or anything. :(
I think they both have that same negative effect on a family.
Name them and describe the services they aim to provide.
Thanks
I know it's genetic, and I know my great grandfather was one, and I was wondering that if he was the only known alcoholic in my family, and there was no one else after him, what are the chances that I'll have alcoholism?
...yet other forms of addiction aren't?I mean what is the difference between alcohol addiction and say heroin addiction? Why is one a disease and the other not? I read somewhere that it is classified as a disease because there are several distinct stages of alcoholism or something like that!Surely that applies to other addictions as well no? I mean after all in most cases addiction is something you inflict on your self, disease is something that catches you off guard and is not really down to your own behaviour! I might be wrong though!Anyone got an idea?
I've been sober for about 5-10 nights total in the last half year. I started drinking after relationship problems and have yet to stop. I am finally realizing that it is becoming a problem. I have been trying to go a whole day sober but can't find the ability to fall asleep without alcohol. I usually plan on just having one glass of wine before bed and end up drinking a whole bottle. Last night i just had about two glasses and today i feel more hungover than I do after a night of heaving drinking. My plan is just to quit for the next month and bare with all the withdrawals. Right now I have a terrible headache and feel extraordinarily less relaxed and less confident with myself.
The main question I have is this. If i quit drinking for a month and then begin to only have a few beers when I'm at the bars, will I experience withdrawals after a night of five to six beers? Basically will I be addicted again if I consume alcohol after being sober for a month?
Seems like from Olgas question earlier that alcoholism is not so mainstream as it once was like in the disco period and the 80s etc. Is that not a good thing?
