If someone drinks a 1/2 pint of liqqah in one night, does that make them an alkie?

Or

Is a 1/2 pint not considered a lot of liqqah?

The amount is not the issue so much as the REASON and RECURRENCE.

If you drink one drink a night and MUST drink that drink and cannot move forward with your life without that drink - you're an alkie.

So, it depends on what the person is drinking it FOR.  Is it to get drunk and stay drunk?  Can they go one day without it or if it's taken away - do they lose their dayum mind?  and more importantly - are they putting something else in their life in jeopardy in order to have the drink?

THAT'S what tells the tale - not volume.

Oh okay, needed to know that.

Also, as a wls do you find that you have to drink a lot and fast in order to keep a buzz? If not, after the first initial drink, you get really high and then once it comes down everything after that is nothing?  If so, what's up with that?

My nickname is T-Pain - cause I am the barrrrteeennddderrrrr..... LOL

I plan and time my drinks according to the kind of night I care to have.  Total Blotto and passed out - bourbon with just a dash of chaser.  Very wasted, but conscious? Lil less bourbon, more chaser.

Light night and need to keep my wits about me?  Vodka - cranberry w/lime. 

I control the 'high' with food - fast intake will get a quick buzz - steady 'reups' will keep the buzz going. Takes a lil time to know your body's tolerance - but it's not all or nothing.

How much is too much depends on why, how often and dependance.  I once drank all the time and kept a house full of liquor of every type.  Yet if I did not drink I did not miss it.  I enjoyed alcohol but never needed it. 

Post op I rarely drink.  An alcohol buzz comes on fast and how long it will last is anyone's guess.  I must down lots of water as I drink to stay sober.  Wls has killed my liberal drinking days.  Buzz fun, drunk not fun. 

I've never gone beyond two ounces of liquor or one beer and one shot in a night.  Trying to keep a buzz is not an issue.  Comming down is.  Even if I'm not driving I must be sober as a judge before heading home.

Hey Jus Chanj is this 8 oz 1 night .... or every nite?  Makes a big difference to me.
You know after surgery first drink = quick buzz after that straight downhill!!!  Where's
the buzz?  This is a topic that we don't talk about enough.

Someweeks I drink EVERYDAY and someweeks I dont drink at all. However, I know that alcohol has replaced food as my new friend....Does that make me an alcoholic...who knows? some might lean toward yes.  I could find an excuse for both to say I am not addicted to food nor am I an alcoholic...HOWEVER!!!!!, both are temporary external solutions for permanent internal issues....This is my opinion.

So to answer your question...just like others have said, I dont think the quantity matters. Whether you drink a pint or a gallon...the question is why?

This is a topic that needs to be discussed more on BAF
