    So you're going to learn to play them? But mashing buttons and yelling at the "stupid computer" was working so well for you...

    Congrats homie. A co-workers husband killed himself by binge drinking daily. Don't need to see it happen to someone else.

    I've never met a Scot who wasn't drunk. This is uncharted territory. This might be the end times....

    Have you had the crazy crazy crazy dreams yet? I had the most vivid dreams/nightmares for a couple weeks when I quit the juice for a bit.

    Keep it up.

    You can drink, but know your limit. If you don't know your limit drink 1-2 beers just for the thirst.

    Dude, he doesn't need terrible drinking advice from someone who isn't legally allowed to drink yet. There are many people out there that have trouble staying within their limit, no matter their intentions. That is when you give up drinking.

    I'm 21, what are you talking about. It's sad to see people drink to the point where they pass out, really stupid, especially when it's a grown ass man. No, none of them have problems staying within their limits, all of them just choose to abuse alcohol till their body can't take it anymore. People that usually abuse alcohol either have personal problems at home and choose alcohol to escape it for a moment, or some disorder that thrives them to drink. It's easy to say No after 2 or 3 beers if you have a fully functional brain.

    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.
