alcoholics just get down right hammered

alcoholics get hammered

A joke from forty years ago reads, " The drunk HAS to drink, the lush loves what he's doing." Social drinking is done on an occasional basis and, while the drinker might get inebriated, he does not display this behavior consistently...say on a daily basis. This drinker most often does not realize that he has consumed too much because he is engaged in convivial conversation and pleasant conversation. The drink in his hand is only an adjutant to his social behavior, not a necessity.

Alcoholism is a serious, debilitating, and expensive addiction. It affects not only the user, but all those around him. The addiction becomes a daily occurrence, frequently with with hidden consumption and behavior.

An example is the person on whom you smell alcohol yet he behaves perfectly normal. This person has become addicted to the alcohol and his body has adapted to the effects to the point that he must drink to "be normal". In order to "get his fix", this person will resort to such lengths as drinking mouthwash or vanilla extract as a substitute for the alcohol he craves.

In these severe cases, medical intervention might be necessary. The problems associated with it are legion, including DTs and family abuse. Should you suspect such an addiction, the support personnel at Alcoholic Anonymous can help. Never hide the problem because there are many programs out there to help the alcoholic.

My father was an alcoholic. It killed him. He died of a necrotic liver. I think the difference depends on the productivity one produces in the work place as a wage slave. If your productivity is considered high. Then, you're a social drinker. If your productivity is unsatisfactory. Then, you're an alcoholic. I'm sure this is why prohibition came about. To, increase the productivity of wage slaves.

What is the difference between an alcoholic and a non-alcoholic?

The answer is that a non-alcoholic given a substantial reason (i.e.- spouse, kids, job, probation, health) , can and will stop drinking and not start again. Certain text-books describe three different types of drinkers. The problem drinker is described as a person that, when drinking, experiences difficulties they would not have if they were not drinking. The next type of drinker is a "hard drinker" who may consume a large volume of alcohol on a regular basis but given a sufficient reason to cease drinking will stop. The real alcoholic will continue drinking regardless of the what is at stake in regards to financial security, personal relationships, or his/her own health.
