Every now and then.


Question Posted Monday August 18 2008, 11:02 am

Every now and then I get drunk.
A few times if my parents are out for the night, and I mean for a long time, so by the time they get back, I can be in bed I'll open up a bottle of wine.
I'll drink the whole bottle on my own, whilst on my laptop or watching tv. When I finish the bottle, I'll put it in this huge box full of glass bottles and jars we have which we afterwards take to the glass containers.
Since my parents have an endless supply of wine in the house and in the glass box there's always wine bottles, it's really unlikely that they will see the bottle that I drank.
Anyway, does it seem weird if a person is home on their own, and they just drink a bottle of wine, then go to sleep.
Luckily I have never had a hangover from drinking a bottle on my own :D

So yeah, is it weird? If so, why?

Thanks :D

"Everyone knows the health risks facing young binge-drinkers staggering around bars on a Saturday night, but there is another group of regular drinkers who may also be quietly boozing their way to oblivion."




Are you of legal drinking age?
If the answer is no, straight away, there is definitely a problem.

To randomly drink a whole bottle of wine on your own may also indicate a problem, even if you are of legal drinking age.

Why do you feel the need to crack open a bottle and drink it ALL? A glass or 2 is okay in moderation, but the fact you are literally binge drinking whenever you want is wrong, because it's damaging your health, especially since there is no real need for you to do it, right?
The fact you do this "every now and then" is quite worrying, because you'll start getting into the habit of drinking and do it more often, maybe even cracking open another bottle after your first.
You see where I'm getting at?

A glass or 2 can be beneficial, but any more is just asking for it.

Be smart about it and have control over yourself. If you MUST drink, just stop after 1 or 2, or you will find yourself having quite a few problems as you get older.

Hi D,I think you were very smart to ask this question, but I don't think that is the question you're really trying to ask. I think, and I could be wrong, that you are trying to ask is it wrong for you to be drinking as much as you do.

The fact that you're hiding it from your parents is the first red flag. I don't know how old you are, but it doesn't sound like you're of legal age.

I am concerned. A whole bottle in one night could be the beginning signs of binge drinking. Maybe you should talk to your parents or someone else you trust about why you are choosing to drink in this manner.

So, in answer to your question, I don't think wierd is quite the right word. You may have an issue that you need to deal with. Don't let this continue.

I wish you the best of luck,

Ediemarie
