I don't consider myself an alcoholic. I do drink more than I should though. I didn't see the programme but if they are saying anybody who thinks about having a drink after work while still at work is an alcoholic that is typical health freak scaremongering!

Some of the stuff on that TV program was great. I wouldn't mind trying those pills that get you as drunk as a good session and if you want to stop being drunk then just have a quick injection and you're stone cold sober. _________________ Tricky Trickster - Grand National Winner 2010
I didn't see the programme, was this "thinking of after-work drinks while at work" worrying sign really raised as a realistic indicator of alcoholism? Laughable obviously.
I think drinking while at home alone is a sign that there may be a problem. I've worked with a lot of heavy drinkers (mainly in Poland), but it was all whilst socialising. _________________ Known as the catch of the camp.

They did lots of experiments like injecting pure alcohol straight into the guy's veins. Drunk rats, hereditary traits etc etc. Thinking about drinking was just a small part of it but he seemed worried.
As for drinking at home alone, well I quite often partake at home but I'm usually on here chatting with you lot.
should I not have that bottle of whisky in my bottom draw at work then?
Its ok as long as it single malt. If its bells or tesco own brand you are an alcoholic. _________________ There are two certainties in life Death and Taxes they no longer tax betting so there may be a god

I quit smoking, drinking and marijuana yesterday all at once. This is an interesting test for me. _________________ 2009 BCT Winner - Conduit

You might as well quit living while you're at it.
It's an acid test, the dependence has become intolerable, time for change. _________________ 2009 BCT Winner - Conduit

This is the problem with our blame, blame, blame society. Every time something happens, a teenager in Northern Ireland was refused a liver transplant as he hadn't been clean of alcohol for 6 months being a perfect example, everyone runs around looking for someone to blame, these include:
The parents, for being so irresponsible to allow this to happen in the first place.
The hospital, for not allowing the transplant.
The Government, for well...well it's bound to be their fault somewhere along the line.
The Child, for being a bad, irresponsible child.
The simple answer to this is it was a sad incident in life, the kid went on the piss for a couple of days, no different from what the majority of us have done and his liver packed in. The kid regrets it, his parents are scared witless, the hospital are sticking to recognised guidelines for liver transplant surgery. There doesn't need to be anyone to blame for it, shit happens, we need to take responsibility for all our actions, not blame them on anyone else. Anytime incidents like this happens, somewhere along the line the government gets the blame and, fearing a backlash, they make restrictions on things, or they issue warnings everywhere, shorten the "recommended alcohol intake" for teenagers and everyone whines about the "nanny state".
And then another scare/incident appears and it starts all over again...

Is Glen Morangie ok?
4Litre bottle of Tesco Value, £6.99. Every little helps...
Only joking, I couldn't even contemplate drinking anywhere near work. I remember a long time ago one of my colleagues brought in some home made Jamaica cake, which was moist with rum. I had a slice, twenty minutes later I had to sit in the tea room and down water because I couldn't see straight and I kept stuttering. Alcohol at work doesn't mix with me.
GG, you're quite young aren't you? I don't want to sound condescending, but you'll soon learn, everything in moderation is fine.
