    That depends on weather your real alcoholic or not i should think it could be possible that some are just heavy(problem) drinkers.

    your not to know they dont work iif your too frit to try them are you?
    Without wanting to get into a pointless discussion about whether AA is the only way to stop drinking or not, it doesn't matter what labels are put on people, it matters how they feel about it. It also doesn't matter how they deal with it, as long as it works.

    I actually have a problem with you saying "some might just be heavy/problem drinkers". It comes over wrong, like its not as important unless we were all certified alcoholics.
    I think AA is great, heard loads of good things about it, I would never put off anybody going, its obviously done you, ac and I think? suffolk as well, a whole lot of good.
    Long may it be promoted.

    Beer2006 - I don`t really know why I drank that way. I kept myself topped up to quite a high level and liked to keep it fairly constant. Occaisionally it would catch up with me and I`d `sleep` for 6 hours or so and then I`d drink a can pretty quickly to get my levels up. The only reason I drank the 9% stuff is because I wouldn`t need to pee so often. As I said,a can (after the first ) would last me at least 2 hours.

    Suffolk, how did you get away with drinking at work? Did no-one smell it?
