I don't see how 1 bottle a month is that bad. There are people out there drinking 3 bottles of Vodka a day. A few drinks here and there is all good IMO. If it makes you miss work then that is a different story, but from the sound of it, it doesn't look like it does. No worries

Drinking is hella fun, but if its affecting your life in a negative way (ie-can't pay bills, DUI's, cant get a job or lose your job, etc) then its a problem.

a little bit of alcohol is good for your body, which is why a lot of doctors recommend a glass of wine everyday. I doubt a bottle of vodka in a month = alcoholic.

However, my friends like to say... alcoholic = drinking alone

Yeah, I thought my friends were totally trippin' when they said that... I was like :huh: x 1000

Where I'm from beer is cheaper then water, and EVERYONE drinks regardless of age or anything... I'm referring to Germany and Croatia.

When we came here it was a huge culture shock for a lot of reasons, one of them being the drinking laws and crap.

I wanted to post here to see your guys' views on this... I couldn't believe that someone thought that consuming 1.5 liters of quality in the period of a month or longer automatically made an alcoholic according to them! :huh:

I know guys that drink whole bottles and some in a single sitting and they are fine.

I usually do frozen vodka as it feels really nice and tastes smooth and good... Or I'll add a splash of cold pineapple juice. Its def not something I need, but heps my appetite.

It's just funny, the culture differences from places like Germany where beer is cheaper then water (no joke).

I can't believe some of you guys sort of sided with my strait edge friends... 30oz in over a month = alcoholic? Come on now... you have to be kidding me! I know guys that do that in a sitting at a bar!

Keep in mind that I'm 6'6.5!!!

yeah... maybe your friends are trippin cuz it's hard alcohol. but one shot is the same as a bottle of beer and that's the same as a glass of wine. sooo if your friend drinks a beer everyday with dinner or what have you... they are on the same boat as you

I say that you are an alky, and now must hand ober all of your weapons to me Seriously like a drink a day is nothing, it's when you gotta get hammed and don't give a rip anymore and that is all you think about. Then I would say there is a problem, vodka that is good quality will get your blood pumping which is good for digesting food
