Though I got drunk every night during my senior year of college except for nights before tests (and many, many days too) got arrested for DWI once -fought it-lost a job because of my drinking, made my guardian angel work overtime, etc.. I don't think I was a true alcoholic. I know denial is the first sign, but I watched a tv show about how they handle people who drink too much in Great Britain, they treat it (alcoholism) as a behavior problem, not a disease. I think I definitely fit into that category. When college was over, I couldn't do that anymore, and so I didn't. I still drink on occasion, but don't get drunk except very occasionally, and only when I know I don't have to drive. I don't think I'm on the verge of slipping, either because I've been the same way for years now. maybe I'm just weird.
