i drank every night but it is not really having a negative effect on me im just slightly worried that ive been overdoing it. even if i drink alot i can remain completely coherent and dont act different but i enjoy the relaxing effects. i read that people who become dependent on alcohol and have withdrawal when stopping are those who drink nonstop during all waking time, i used to be afraid to even drink more than one day a week because i fear dependence of everything i consume, but now pretty much every night this week ive had a few drinks, i think since my dog died ive just felt kind of empty and have just been trying to cheer myself up and stuff but alcohol is probably not the best way to wind down on a daily basis
It’s a slippery slope. I enjoy a beer. I have midstrength on occasion and I don’t drink to get drunk. For me it’s like a xanax but it’s still not good for you. I think it becomes a problem if your waking up and your first thoughts are of a drink. That is a serious issue whether your dependant or not but it’s the road to depedency.
Never good to drink when your sad or alone. It really just leads to problems.

I’ve been drinking too a lot, occasionally but not getting trigger into psychosis. I personally think though if I continue this, I may go into slippery dangerous place
So I need to stop

i dont really think of it when i wake up or even look forward to it, just later in the day it seems like a good idea, probably nothing to worry about but i tend to overthink everything its just kinda the way my brain works
just catching up on tv shows and gaming, i havent listened to much music but now it seems like a good idea,

Everyday is usually a trigger sign for most. Better things to do with your time but I’ve known some alcoholics in my life. It’s a horrible thing to see people do and fall prey too. More than a couple of drinks a night isn’t healthy. That just seems to be the science behind it!

Substance abuse and self medicating is very much a real thing I agree with that @Daze. It’s still not good for a normal person to drink more than a couple of alcoholic beverages a night…and that is probably being kind. It depends on the study but it also affects everyone differently.

One week shouldn’t make a difference but if it turns into two or three or four weeks you may be getting yourself into serious trouble with alcohol.

I know people that drink everyday. The usual yard stick is if it starts to interfere with your daily activities or your getting into debt or missing appointments, then its a sign you got a problem. Thinking about a drink in the morning is a no no as well.
Try going a week without a drink. If you find that hard - or are struggling to go without - then its a sign you got a problem.

i will probably not drink for a while, it is not affecting me negative on its own but makes my antidepressant less effective which makes me care less about what im doing to myself by consuming certain things, i dont think id have trouble not drinking as long as i have soda or cold water or something non-alcoholic thats refreshing to quench the post-shower midnight thirst + boredom
