    I was going by the age it says you are under your join date. Thanks for the info, though, Dr. Drew. I didn't know you were an expert on alcohol dependence. He says that he has trouble stopping after one or two drinks, so he is doing the right thing by not drinking anymore. It is absolutely moronic and irresponsible to advise someone who is quitting drinking to go drink.

    apparently you have never heard of the word alcoholism , it is an addiction and a disease , i have no issues at home or had any growin up , the only issue i have is liking to get drunk all the time , i enjoy the buzz , so because i'm an alcoholic it means i dont have a fully functional brain?

    No, it means you have a drinking disorder. And my post was not directed at you, I was speaking out of my ass in general.

    You win. I kinda didn't pay much attention that he can't stop after 1-2 beers.

    One of my co-workers just lost her husband of many years to alcoholism about a month ago. He drank throughout the day every day for years. His brain eventually started shrinking to a detrimental point. Keep it going Scotsman. Let your little one be even more motivation.
