In reply to the discussion: Are you a drinker, or a drunk? [View all]KurtNYC
(14,549 posts)37. 6 signs that you are dating an alcoholic
1. They want to pick up more booze on the way home from the bar (or they have more, or they ask if you have more) even though they are drunk.
2. They try to over-serve everyone else.
3. They know where all the brunch places are that serve on Sunday mornings.
4. Their hands shake in the morning.
5. They become depressed and angry when drinking.
6. To everyone else the problem is that the person "drinks too much" but to the alcoholic the problem is everyone else telling them not to drink.
If you can take or leave alcohol you should consider yourself lucky. It is a disease of which very few are cured. As addictions go it is one of the toughest because we are surrounded by alcohol advertising and places which sell it.

I do get like that occasionally. Not "mean" but definitely sad or angry.

If you don't drink, then all of your stories suck and end with, 'And then I got home'

Drinker, and not a very heavy one. Alcohol is the least of my worries, substance-wise.
