You know you're an alcoholic when...

High School Days---I should have known then.

At an underage drinking party and the cops come. Everyone scatters and goes running through the desert. Hide out in the bushes for awhile. Decide to find our way back to the house. Find it, knock on the door, "Hey, it's me; it's ok, let me in." Only to realize that it is not the right house, but the neighbors.

... You spend ?150 on a VIP Ticket to see Depeche Mode at the Wireless Festival (with the chance of meeting them backstage), and get so pissed on the free champagne that you end up spending the latter half of the gig in the portaloo puking up strawberries...

And, no I didnt meet them
Got within staggering distance of Andy Fletcher, but was ushered away by an official.

After reading some of these, last night I went and looked at my cellphone calls. Oh my god, I talked to someone on the phone for 12 minutes, and I have no idea whose number it is!!!! What's worse, I realized I didn't even drink that night. Can we say short-term memory loss?

I saw one of those "Intervention" programmes where this woman was drinking mouthwash even though she had booze in the house.. never done that meself.. I think is more because of the 'kick' and taste in the wine rather than the al content.
I dunno.
probably talking out of my a*** as usual.

I did it because there was nothing else in the house and it had like a 15% alcohol content. Took away the urge.

That for me was the deciding factor for me that I was an alcoholic, if I would drink something not intended for consumption. I could justify it, if it was wine. There is no justifying orange listerine.

Not to change the listerine subject, but you know you're an alkie when you get pissed at your ex and drive drunk to where you know where his car is, and proceed to smash out his headlights with a baseball bat...and in the process, knock off several of your fake nails so that when the cops show up at your house and ask to see your hands..

You know you're an alcoholic when...

you know you are an alcoholic when you turn up drunk at your boss's house where he and his wife are hosting a posh dinner party they graciously invite you to join them and then you proceed to light up a ciggy but when you realise no one else is smoking and they are looking at you in horror you stub out your cigareet in the ash tray in front of you but its not an ashtray its a silver napkin holder so you have in fact stubbed your cigarette out on their white linen tablecloth - when you realise what you have done you try to rectify the situation by throwing your still lighting cigarette out the nearest window but you miss and it lands on their 17 year old poodle (thought it was a rug) which is their substitute child.
needless to say you have not been invited back again and the dog died shortly afterwards probably from shock.

you know you're an alkie when you're pissed that the neighbor's teens keep parking in front of your house throwing cigarette butts all over your lawn..so you get soused one night and decide to pull a prank and egg their cars in the middle of the night...except that you're so drunk that you don't realize that it's 6am and the neighbors actually see you in your pj's as they're driving to work as you're heaving eggs and laughing hysterically...
