I have self-identified as a "functioning alcoholic" in another thread. I don't often drink to excess, but I drink often, I have a habit of enjoying alcohol and I'm not willing to give it up. I think by "technical" definitions that makes me an alcoholic. I guess I'm stuck on step one.
I have an unnamed affliction which causes me to hate seeing full bottles and cans, therefore I drink them down. I also am OCD about consistency, so generally I need to check to see if the other 5 beers in my 6 pack taste like the first. Combine these two conditions, and down goes the entire 6 pack.
For all those that have mentioned Founders, I agree. Grand Rapids, Michigan has turned into a phenomenal beer city. I basically don't even allow myself to go to Founders because I'll end up wanting to try multiple high alcohol content beers
(~9%
), and soon I'll be making phone calls for a ride home. Since the name is applicable to me as well, I also tend to drink a few of their Dirty Bastards. Their two IPAs
(Centennial and All Day
) are outstanding as well.
