The Party Lifestyle 

One thing i miss about my using days is all the parties and bars. Im 23 and right now and it seems that everyone thats not in recovery is out partying and drinking at bars. I know from what I'v  seen that everyone who goes to bars and parties has the same goal to get drunk. So then it makes me question if I'm an alcoholic. Because if I'm an alcoholic everyone else has to be an alcoholic too since they were doing the same thing as me every weekend.

Re: The Party Lifestyle 

Your logic is great stuff! 

You are incorrect that everyone goes to bars and parties.  Nope.  Not true!  I said the same thing when I was drinking.  However, I thought that way because everyone that I knew drank.  That is a very small minority.

Normal people do not drink.  If they do it may be a glass of wine, or a mixed drink, when they go out to eat.  My wife does not drink.  The people in her life do not drink.

 

  • Nearly one-third of adults were classified as light drinkers (3 or fewer drinks per week).
  • Nearly 5 percent of adults were classified as heavier drinkers (7 or more drinks per week for women; 14 or more for men).
  • About 20 percent of adults had 5 or more drinks per day at least once in the past year

    • God could and would if He were sought.
