Question #1:
So... I'm guessing God didn't drink beer?
"Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in anguish." (Proverbs 31:6)Either way, his followers were alcoholics. Thank God they were riding camels and not driving cars.
Question #2:
Ramadan, so i drank beer once.....?
Salam, when i was 4 yrs old, my neighbor was drinking beer and offered me some and i drank a sip of it,,,,,but i threw up coz the taste was horrible.Anyways, will i be deprived from non-alcoholic wine that Allah swt promised us in Jannah, since people who drink in this life will be deprived from it in the hereafter.

Question #3:
Am I becoming an alcoholic?
I'm 17 years old, male, about 150 pounds and just a half inch shy of 6 feet. I started drinking about 2 years ago with a few friends that lived nearby. We would only drink on the weekends, until the summer came along and we would be drinking close to 4 times a week. When school started, I kept on going, but cooled it down to the point where I was only drinking on weekends and maybe once during the week. From September to March, it went on like this, and of course my grades did suffer. At this point I felt a little worried about my drinking, as nobody else really drank as much as I did, and I would be drinking huge amount compared to everyone else (a 26er of vodka with a few beers for the night). Then in March I went on a volunteer trip to Africa, figuring this might be a good start to turning things around. In the end, I just got drunk in Africa.End of the year exams came along, and I decided to stop drinking altogether for these. It was tough, but I managed and came through with decent marks. Then in the summer, I made myself take a couple music courses (I'm aiming to go to university to study composition) to keep myself busy and away from drinking scenarios. It worked, and I didn't drink the whole summer.
Then, a couple days ago, a friend of mine (a year older) was moving into to her residence in university, so we got the gang together again to wish her well. I hadn't drank for what seemed like ages, but apparently I pounded back a huge amount of hard liquor (at least 5 shots each of vodka, jager and rum, and I think someone had brought a bottle of white wine that we cleaned out). I don't remember too much, but I puked that night when I got home around 3, and then some more the next day until about 7. I'm still feeling hungover even though it's been two days, but I really feel like having a drink. Both my grandfathers were alcoholics and it killed them, and my dad had a bout of drinking but is apparently fine now and able to enjoy a few drinks. My mum has never been down that road.
I've had about 6 or 7 bad "experiences" with alcohol, but I have kept going back. And now, despite not drinking for a summer AND being incredibly hungover, I really want a drink.
Am I on the road to alcoholism? It might sound like I'm overreacting, but I've been told a couple times that my drinking is a little too intense and I'm starting to worry.
Am I becoming an alcoholic?
Question #4:
What can be made with these?
I have scotch (Cheep not that great...), brandy (Same again), Gin (okay/good), vodka, water, madeira, mango juice, diet coke, ginger ale and access to other things like alcoholic grenadine and tequila rose, lemoncello, sloe gin, cherry brandy, cocoa liquor, some strange latvian drink which smells horrible, disarano etc. (But that would take a trip past the crazy people outside to get too)As many different drinks as possible please! We are all over 18, most in our 20s, so no 'obviously hiding from parents' type comments please, they're fighting and strange and we don't like them, so we've holed up in the one room and don't want to leave. (Affectionately and stupidly named it the speakeasy ¬_¬ )
Question #5:
Is it better to drink wine or to not drink wine?
I saw some studies about how drinking wine in moderation is good for you, however, I wasn't sure if it is just better than drinking too much or other types of alcoholic beverages, or if drinking wine is better than not drinking it at allQuestion #6:
whats ur fave alcoholic drink :-)?
Question #7:
why do wine coolers make my chest hurt?
i can drink a wide variety of alcoholic beverages from lite beer to hard liquor, but wine coolers kill me every time. it seems that only after an hour of drinking a wine cooler, my chest is hit with the most excruciating pain. it's at its worst in the soft "dips" located just below my collarbone and next to my shoulders, but carries downward to the area just below my sternum. the pain only lasts for about 15 minutes or so, but damn if it isn't one of the most uncomfortable feelings ever. if i had to pinpoint where i think the pain is coming from, i'd say it's in the muscle. it's not "in" my chest, but more further above the surface if that makes any sense.i guess the only way i could describe it is the passing of gas. anyone else have this problem?
Question #8:

Question #9:
does he really hate me?
sorry this is really long.my mom is making me stay at my brothers house who is 20 for a while until she gets better(shes an alcoholic) my dad died when i was 2. i really hate living with him. he HATES me! when i first went to his house and brought my things over he said under his breath "this sucks." he also lives with his girlfriends who is nicer to me than he is. ive been forced to stay in my room the whole time so far because whenever i go where he is he and i say something to him hes mean and says he doesn't care or who cares or do you think i care. if i talk to him about something about me or my mom or anything at all he says that. and he never says anything to me unless he has to. he didn't even say hi to me or anything when i first came over.when i got my report card he had to sign it and i got all A's and he didn't even say anything All he did was angrily sign it. his gf is always asking me about school and stuff whenever i rarely see her because im always in my room. for dinner they always go out without me like just about every night so im all alone for like the 5hours the are gone and i don't know why they are always gone so long. i think its because he wants to avoid me. when i tell him im leaving the house or something he says "i don't give a s***. he has never cared about me even before my had dies and mom became an alcoholic. then the one time i decide to runaway to a friends house he comes to get me and is so mad he makes me cry in front of everyone but he doesn't even care when i leave or anything. ive literally cried myself to sleep a couple of nights. im always alone except for school and he wont drive me anywhere to like my friends house so i cant see any of them and i don't have a cell phone and he wont ever let me use the house phone. i just don't want to live anymore. there is no where else for me to live and i have no other relatives . what i hate the most is it was his idea for me to live with him instead of my mom. i would rather be living with her because its not like she got drunk and beat me or anything and i was always well tooken care of. i want to go back to living with her because she is the only one who cares about me.so my question is what do i do about my living arrangement and how do i cope with my brother. (btw im a 15y/o guy.)
Question #10:
i really want to die?
sorry this is really long.my mom is making me stay at my brothers house who is 20 for a while until she gets better(shes an alcoholic) my dad died when i was 2. i really hate living with him. he HATES me! when i first went to his house and brought my things over he said under his breath "this sucks." he also lives with his girlfriends who is nicer to me than he is. ive been forced to stay in my room the whole time so far because whenever i go where he is he and i say something to him hes mean and says he doesn't care or who cares or do you think i care. if i talk to him about something about me or my mom or anything at all he says that. and he never says anything to me unless he has to. he didn't even say hi to me or anything when i first came over.when i got my report card he had to sign it and i got all A's and he didn't even say anything All he did was angrily sign it. his gf is always asking me about school and stuff whenever i rarely see her because im always in my room. for dinner they always go out without me like just about every night so im all alone for like the 5hours the are gone and i don't know why they are always gone so long. i think its because he wants to avoid me. when i tell him im leaving the house or something he says "i don't give a s***. he has never cared about me even before my had dies and mom became an alcoholic. then the one time i decide to runaway to a friends house he comes to get me and is so mad he makes me cry in front of everyone but he doesn't even care when i leave or anything. ive literally cried myself to sleep a couple of nights. im always alone except for school and he wont drive me anywhere to like my friends house so i cant see any of them and i don't have a cell phone and he wont ever let me use the house phone. i just don't want to live anymore. there is no where else for me to live and i have no other relatives . what i hate the most is it was his idea for me to live with him instead of my mom. i would rather be living with her because its not like she got drunk and beat me or anything and i was always well tooken care of. i want to go back to living with her because she is the only one who cares about me.so my question is what do i do about my living arrangement and how do i cope with my brother. (btw im a 15y/o guy.)
Question #11:
I cheated and now i feel horrible?
My boyfriend told me that he needed to leave for a while to "find himself" after some things that happened to him/his family/life, and he told me that it would be better if we didn't date because he thinks it would be better for me.well i really love him and i told him i would wait for him.he's been gone for 3 months, and we keep in contact and he says he's coming back soon.
and i was really depressed at one point last week, so my friends took me out clubbing even though i really didn't feel like going. I drank a lot out of depression/loneliness (and no, i'm not an alcoholic) and got drunk and the next thing you know i wake up naked next to some random i don't know/remember.
i feel so unbearably guilty..so what do i do now? do i tell him over the phone? when he comes back? should i even tell him?
Question #12:
What was the last alcoholic beverage you drank?
For me it was gin and tonic.Question #13:
Past relationship negatively affecting current relationship?
My ex-boyfriend is an alcoholic. I broke up with him for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to his complete lack of ambition to make anything of himself, his inability to control his drinking, and the ridiculous number of times he blew me off and forgot about plans (including some really important ones) we had made.I'm now dating this really great guy. He's seriously the first decent guy I've ever dated, and I already know I'm falling in love with him.
The only issue is that because of my relationship with my ex, I don't drink, and I can't stand anything to do with drinking. My current boyfriend likes to drink (not excessively), and that should be okay. But I don't know how to make it okay.
If he wants to go out and drink with his friends, I feel like he's choosing alcohol over me. I know this isn't the case, but I don't know how to fix it.
How do I change this?
I'm not trying to get him to change. It's not him going out and having fun that is the issue, it's me.
I'm trying to change how I see this, because I'm in the wrong. I just don't know how to feel differently.
Question #14:
im sick of my mom :(?
ok so im 14... and my mom has been an alcoholic all my life as well as mental issues and biopolar... i have been to 18 different schools and im in 8th grade... my parents are divorced... and my dad has had like 4 different wives... well with my mom... she has been to rehab 5 times and it didnt work.

Its really scary when shes like this... and sometimes i just dont know what to do! she is constantly nagging me about the most stupidest things! And NEVER does anything! she cant drive... she cant cook... and her bladder is messed up because she has bladder issues on this pill... My mom acts just as scary when shes drinking... and i just want my real mom back :( i am currently living with her... and she is on that pill right now... i really want to move back in with my dad! but i dont want to burden him! and i dont want to hurt my moms feelings! please tell me what i can do!!!!!!my dad lives like on the otherside of town and i am at Salk... it would screw everything up because the school closest to there is Garry and i went there for some of 7th grade... my dad probably dosent have any time for me anymore and everything will be messed up... i just dont know what to do anymore...
Question #15:
If you were an alcoholic drink what would it be and why?
Question #16:

ive been an alcoholic for many years and tried stopping many times, every time i do i get weird red spots all over my face, pins and needles in my head and limps , and my left eye seems to get infected or something always. i was doing good the longest i quit drinking was 11 days which was when i ruined it yesterday by having a 12 back and today was the worse is it possible to be allergic to alcohol? cuz i use to get hang overs but never infected eyes or red blotches on my face years ago--- had a blood test about 3 weeks ago and i have high blood pressure and really low pottasium but they didint say anything was wrong with my liver or kidneys
Question #17:
pacman the drink?????
so i had this alcoholic drink and they called it a pacman is it an actual drink or is it just what my uncle called itQuestion #18:
How do I get my mom to stop commenting on my weight?
She always thinks I'm too fat! I'm like super tiny though. I'm 5'4" and around 103lbs. I wear a size 00 to a size 0, but whenever I go shopping with her she insists that the only size that fits me is a size 6. I always feel extremely self conscious around her and then she'll complain about her weight too (she's 5'7" and around 120lbs) in a size 4. She didn't even used to do this until her drinking worsened, before she became a full-out alcoholic she was 5'7" and 140lbs, in a size 8. Then she'll constantly ask me how much I weigh and when I answer, she'll say "Perfect!" but it's so obvious that she wishes I was tinier. I eat a lot to, more than my brothers who like never eat anything (which is weird because they're both teenagers), and then she'll just roll her eyes at me.I KNOW I'm not overweight whatsoever, but she just makes me feel very self conscious. I've talked to my mother about it and as have my brothers. Whenever we do she'll say "No, I think your the perfect weight" although she obviously doesn't think that.
Question #19:
I am going to give up with being sober... How much alcohol is enough?
Short background, I am 23 years old (male), 6'0", 190lbs. I haven't had an alcoholic beverage since I was ~ 16 years old.I have never been to a bar, or any night club like situation since like high school. Even in high school, when I drank, I only had a beer or something.
I went to college and my first year, I made no friends except for a few guys. None of them ever went to bars, so I never went. They drank, but I didn't.
I then transferred to another school, and made even less friends (as pathetic as it is, I went 3 years without a single person (besides a few "business" contacts) giving me their number. I never went out.
As you can see, I really have never had a reason to drink, (unless I was to drink alone in my apartment).
What started out as "well, I just never had a reason", became... "well i haven't drank in 7 years, why start now".
I am a first year medical student now, and tried to open up and make some friends. It worked, and around 4 girls and one guy, said they were going to the night clubs in downtown Seattle. They pressured me into going. I said "well i don't drink"... Please note, i had no reason not to (until later that night, shortly before going out, when they found out i don't drink and i became the DD).
I felt really awkward and uncomfortable. I am not going through that again.
I am going to drink (hopefully I can control myself =/) next time I go out like that. How much is just enough to loosen me up, and get rid of that nervousness/ uncomfortableness.
