      Cheers for the Video clip! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you tried - Saankramer Life Card System (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one off guide for learning how to stop drinking minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate at last got excellent results with it.

      No, you’re just wrong. Obviously both are alcohol abuse, but alcoholism and binge drinking are two very different things.
      Alcoholism is pretty much an illness, a dependence on the drug. It affects your outside life.
      Binge drinking is excessive drinking, but without the dependence. There’s no dangerous withdrawals that can potentially lead to death.

  • @christianperez7846
    @christianperez7846 Před rokem +3

    I’m very low income and I binge 30 drinks in one night every week or every two weeks. I’ve sought help and found it, so consider myself alcoholic. I think alcoholism requires that you drink to excess, don’t find it easy to stop, and it affects your life and/or the decisions you make pre or post binge. Then there are people that drink every day and maintain their high at all times. Binging doesn’t hurt as much because you can calculate when the right time is to binge. Again, affecting your decision making pre binge. I cannot drink every day because I spend so much money and effort on my binge. If I continued drinking through the binge I’d be much more miserable. I understand the difference between being dependent on alcohol every day and binging once a week. But it all adds up to the same issue in the end

    I think a lot of bingers do remain on a regular pattern and amount (for the most part) and stay that way until they are able to quit or until they die of whatever cause. However, if one is binging, that's enough to cause serious health problems. I think a binger should be defined as someone who actually has a craving for drink after a given number of days and who generally gives in to that craving. I suspect all alcoholics were once bingers. However, I suspect that some bingers never cross the threshold to every day drinking. I think a College student who goes out and gets hammered on occasion, but doesn't actually crave a drink, is an alcohol abuser, not a binger.

    The use of the word moderation should only be acceptable when consideration is given to those that consume other drugs in the same fashion. For example; "I only consume "this or that" stigmatised drug on my birthday" or "once a month at the weekends is fine."
    My personal view is that regular use every weekend, at the end of a workday and any other regular time where you are triggered to drink even in "healthy amounts" is not going to cause social issues but can be a problem to those that feel compelled to consume without conscious effort. Like when a person likes a drink when they read or when a certain program's on the television.
    Drinking alcohol is a well trodden path.

    This is the difference between people with mental toughness and those who don’t have it. I love drinking scotch and craft beer. I don’t ABUSE it, however. I keep my mind on a leash and remember why I do what I need to do everyday- be a good father, husband, wake up early, work out, build my businesses, and achieve freedom. I ALSO know when I can go out with the boys and have 5-8 drinks, those nights are PLANNED in advance. I make sure I am not jeopardizing anything the next day. I love red wine with steak, white wine with oysters, scotch over conversation, craft beers at breweries or after snowboarding, coin margs when traveling, etc. you don’t have to hate alcohol, you just can’t let it control you, You control It, you have to build mental toughness, keep your mind in check, your body in check, your work ethic in check, your family time in check, your fun time in check and only when earned. But then again, not everyone wants my life, it’s difficult and super fulfilling. Want to know the quickest way to build mental toughness? Try doing 75 Hard. In fact, I wasn’t going to end it this way, but I’m feeling a calling to help: go to Spotify or CZcams and listen to “REAL AF with Andy Frisella” episode no. 443. His style may or may not be relatable to you but I promise you this, developing mental toughness is the key to confidence and freedom.
