I remember taking a similar test in college (MIT) with various members of the house I was living in.

One of the questions was “do you sometimes hang around with that drinks too much.” We responded “we ARE the crowd that drinks too much. . . “

I think there is a college dispensation or something, though. Drink wine on Friday nights and holidays . . . Scotch on special occassions.

Classic old Dean Martin line...(and Martin was NOT a drinker, he only played one in nightclubs)

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink, because when they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel for the rest of the day.."

I thought Alcoholics are the ones who quit drinking and go to meetings.

Your Results:

Based on Your Responses:
Your drinking pattern appears to fall within the ranges considered safe for most people your age and gender, and your results do not suggest that alcohol is harming your health.

Whew! I squeaked by. Have to celebrate when I get home.

My bro-in-law said he was not an alcoholic, he never joined AA. He thought he was being real funny. Didn’t seem to think drinking himself to sleep every night was a problem, he died in his sleep at age 51.

LOL!! I always appreciate your posts. BTW, I've been to your blog and like what I've seen. I've got it bookmarked. When are you going to rise from your Scotch, cigar, and gun powder induced stupor and write something else?

kept drinking despite social or interpersonal problems

Hell, I wouldn't have a reason to drink if I didn't have social or interpersonal problems. What is this writer thinking?
