“Err, do I get a say in when we leave?!”
Posted by Claire at April 29th, 2006
There’s been something bothering me over the last few days since rumours started flying amongst some of my friends here in Regensburg that I appear to have some kind of alcohol problem.
Now, seriously what constitutes an alcohol problem? On Wednesday night I went out in Regensburg with another girl here & happened to get a little bit drunk. Does that make me someone who gets battered “as per usual”? Fair enough, when I go out, which would like to add, is around once a week & for a student that really isn’t that much, I do tend to get quite drunk, I can have a good night without drinking anything, but it makes me more relaxed & enables me to have even more fun. I think the problem here is that the people who I am friends with don’t drink or tend not to drink (for the record: I don’t mean Pawel!) so therefore I look like the pisshead who just gets drunk “as per usual” (I re-quoted for effect).
So, to conclude, does going out once a week & having a few drinks & having a dance make me an alcoholic?
No.
It makes me your typical student.

Sad to comment on my own posts really, but I have to say I love this “Ads by Gooooooogle” Business. I can get help through: “Quit drinking like we did”, “Alcohol Abuse Treatment” or even “Trouble with Booze”, the latter reminds me that Alcohol can ruin my life. I’ll bear that one in mind.
