Well, I finally figured out the quoting protocol, now if only I could figure out how to get two quotes in the same post?

I've been wondering about that for a year!

Really?

Well, its quite easy guys. I assume you've found the little quote button up top?

You can just use that as many times as you like, then copy and paste the quote you want into the space. If you want the name of the poster to appear in the quote, just add "=Toad" for examplel, straight after the first QUOTE - like this [quote=Toad].

Thanks for sharing that Todd. Sometimes I wonder if I'm not the same, a functioning alcoholic. I don't drink everyday, or even every week, although I probably would if I had it in the house all the time. What concerns me is sometimes I get an overwhelming craving for a drink. Sometimes I give in, sometimes I don't. I've also known for a while that I should not drink alone because I have no control when I'm alone: If there are 4 beers in the fridge, I'll drink all 4 beers. When I'm with others socially, I don't have that problem, one maybe 2 drinks. So like you said, most won't admit there is a problem since drinking alcohol hasn't caused any significant issues in their life - I guess that's where I am.

A new exiting world has opened before my eyes.

As many of my colleagues have noted, I love to repeat myself!

I've drank few beers I didn't like the taste of. Of course, some I like more than others. I'm one of those weird people who do drink beer for the taste and like to try different beers just for their different flavors. Wine on the other hand... I've drank few I really like.

According to this I'm definitely an alcoholic.

Unfortunately my alcoholism has had to take a back seat lately since I can't study for exams and be drunk at the same time.

Lol, i think everybody says this. When you're a kid and your dad gives you a sip of beer, everyone spits it out and thinks "I'll never drink that, it's disgusting!"

Its one of those 'acquired tastes' thingys.

"If you have answered YES to three or more, you are definitely an alcoholic"

That's insane! I answered yes to 3/4 of the questionnaire, and i've always been considered a moderate drinker!
Just seems to take one year blacked out...
