If your drinking to the point of being drunk on a regular basis, then your a drunk and you've got a drinking problem. If you on a regular basis want to drink not just socially, but to where you're drunk, you need help. And I say that as someone who has a bourbon and coke on a regular basis.

Brought 2 fifths in to the Ole Miss/Arky game that went 7 OTs (2000?). I drank one and split the other with a few people.

Again, I don't doubt that having 8-9 shots every couple of weeks is "normal" here...but it's not social drinking. It's alcohol abuse. Maybe not addiction...but certainly abuse.
Guidelines for moderate alcohol use
If you choose to drink alcohol, do so only in moderation. For healthy adults, that means up to one drink a day for women of all ages and men older than age 65, and up to two drinks a day for men age 65 and younger.
Examples of one drink include:
Beer: 12 fluid ounces (355 milliliters)
Wine: 5 fluid ounces (148 milliliters)
Distilled spirits (80 proof): 1.5 fluid ounces (44 milliliters)

Right. That doesn't mean you bank the drinks you don't have everyday and blow it out every two weeks. Glad you are thinking about it though.
ETA: Moderate drinking is 1-2 drinks a day. Not 14 drinks once a day every two weeks. But you understand that.

This is why drinking half a fifth in one sitting is a problem.

occasional abuse isn't that big of a deal IMO.
it's abusing it on a daily basis where it interferes with your life in a large scale that is an issue.

yea im not a fool but we all like to drink i dont see the problem. some people dont know what a drinking problem really is and make stupid comments that dont substantiate anything.
we are told its good for us to have that one drink everyday as its good for our circulatory system. but abuse is a different thing all together.

I'm not saying anything about whether it's an issue for anybody. Only pointing out that what is generally considered normal drinking here is abuse.
But if drinking interferes with your life at all it's an issue. If it interferes on a "large scale" it's a major fricking issue.

Once you meet and get to know a real true life alcoholic, you see a far different picture.

I know some people who get drunk from half a drink and others that don't off a 12 pack. Everyone is different. I drink maybe 3-4 times a month and still can drink steady for hours without getting drunk. I control my intake so I don't get beyond a fun buzz.

Yep. Over a 24 hour period. More than once.

drinking twice a month isn't an alcoholic. I grew up watching one, I'm quite aware of what it is.
