Answers:
you most likely know the answer and are just needing someone to sit you down and say avoid alcohol!.

the phrase, 'can't seem to stop' is a good indicator it is time to take a serious look at what is going on!. even if you do not look at AA type groups, talk to a health professional!.

you are beginning to see the need to accept responsibility for your actions!. good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

Tell your friends you don't want to go to bars or be around people who drink, because you have a problem!.

It'll feel embarrassing and awkward, and some of the people who are not really friends will drop you - but that's OK!. The rest are true friends and will learn to invite you to alcohol-free events!.

Acknowledging your addiction is the first step - the next step is to go to an AA meeting - I know you don't feel you are an alcoholic yet, but go to a meeting anyway, and talk to a few people who are dealing with this addiction!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Take it as a sign NOT to drink at all!.

I went out with a guy for awhile that wasn't so nice either when drinking but it didn't come from drinking really to much!.
It seemed, say he had 3 drinks, he was fine but god forbid he take that 4th drink, if he did, you wanted to push the drinks down his throat because something about that 4th drink turned him mean--very mean!.
Anything and I mean anything would set him off and I was always the cause of it of course!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

just drink non-alcoholic drinks!. that way, when all your friends are drinking, you dont feel left out because you are drinking too, just not alcohol!. and that way your not embarassing yourself or being an a*shole to everyone!. or, if you must have a drink, then only buy yourself one six pack, and no more!. that way you can get a good buzz, but your not over doing it!. then cut yourself off after the six pack is gone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

THIS IS A PERFECT TIME TO STOP!. BEFORE YOU GET LIKE I DID!. WHAT YOU ARE DESCRIBING IS REALLY BIG TROUBLE!. AN ALCOHOLIC PERSONALITY THAT COMES OUT AND HURTS PEOPLE WHEN YOU DRINK!? THAT 'LL LEAD TO AN INSANITY VERY FEW UNDERSTAND AND EVEN FEWER [including doctors] KNOW HOW TO TREAT!. THE DICTIONARY DOESN'T SAY GETTING DRUNK UNDER THE DEFINITION OF FUN!. ALCOHOL IS NOT REQUIRED!. SAY YOU'RE ALLERGIC, SAY NO THANKS, IT MAKES ME SICK [THINK OF YOUR HEAD] SAY ANYTHING YOU LIKE JUST DON'T SAY YES!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

first, make limitations, don't take credit or debits acrds with you!. take a small amount of cash with you, that way, you can't overspend, which leads to overdrinking!. second, don't assume you have be the type of person you're afraid of beingWww@Answer-Health@Com
