I think this is approaching a new record for me .....
not sure that I feel all that much better mind - though don't have constant dehydration and constant low level headache
whats the longest you've gone without drink (just as a reference this is the first time in about 7 or 8 years that I've gone more than a single day without the booze!)
Longest I've gone without any alcohol is probably 3 weeks. Nowadays I only really go out once a week, but i have the occasional bottle of wine/few cans at home.
I'm currently on an anti alcohol binge too. Tryin to tone up and lose my belly
Where were you when the West was defeated?

Sounds like you're an alcoholic to me.
I'm not much of a drinker. I can enjoy a good cool glass of beer on a warm summer afternoon, but I go weeks at a time without alcohol.
i've quit drinking about 4 weeks ago. so far it's great. as for the future; i think i'll make exceptions for a good red wine now and then but nothing else.

the fact that I'm not missing it kind of disproves this tbh - if I were an alcoholic I would be a mess by now - but I DO drink too much and too often thats for sure

lol - its not that tbh - my gf has been away since saturday morning - and I've been staying in playing 360 games and prepping for interviews while shes been away tbh - having said that shes bringing a bag of hash back for me today so I guess it will all go out of the window at about 6pm tonight - lol
I usually only drink during the weekend. Longest i've been without... i don't know really, i never make a concious effort. But i guess like two, three weeks.

well over a year, and then it only a 1/2 pint of mulled wine at lunchtime
I'm going on something close to 3.5 years I think. I had poor impulse control back then, and never just drank to have a few beers. If I drank, which was too often, I didn't stop until I was fucking blasted. Now my tolerance would probably be so low that one or two beers would likely do me in.
I drink every other day on average, getting pretty drunk three times a week or so on average. But it really depends on classes and who I'm out with when I drink.
If I go out with a girl I limit myself to however many she drinks she has. For example if we go somewhere nice, I'll buy wine by the glass and just order them two at a time until she's done. Usually that's only after 2 or 3 each. I don't want her to think I'm an alcoholic, I don't want to be sitting there downing drink after drink when she's done. It's neither polite, curteous, nor do I want alcohol breath worse than her own.
If we're in a bar I'll get her her drink of choice and just get rounds of beer for me. Again, limiting myself to the number she drinks and ordering two at a time, no matter how much faster I finish mine, I just make conversation in the mean time.
When I go out with guy friends on the other hand, I'll get beer after beer usually only stopping for money reasons. I end up blacking out more than I should, once or twice a week usually. I drink way more than I should for my weight yet almost never puke so it really hits hard. I weigh 160ish and I it's not uncommon for me to pregame before a party and drink a 5th to myself (my friends an I all buy cheap $10 5ths to drink together before we go out). And that's even before we even get to the party and start hitting up the keg usually Friday and Saturday nights.
I drink more often than I should, and although I'm not an alcoholic (I've stopped for long periods of time)...I'll still admit I don't have the best discipline. Living in Vegas it's really hard not to go out where you know there's a plethora of sluts, alcohol, and drugs. I can see the south end of the strip from my window, it's all right there, maybe a 5 min drive. I'm only 19 and drink more than anyone in there 20s or 30s should, but I'm leaving Vegas in May for the summer and not coming back to August in which time I won't have this temptation.
Night life is 24/7 here, basically if you're willing to spend some cash, every night of the week in this city easily has the opportunity to be your best or worst night of your life. And that line can very thin.

Got liver?
I went for about the first 16 years of my life without alcohol, since then the longest is a 3 month dry period I did about 2 years ago. I now drink 1 or 2 beers a day, about 5 days a week. I could count the amount of times I've been truly drunk in the last 5 years on one hand.
