Well, hypochondria for one... ;-) My father used to drink a half rack of Coors Light and about five shots of rum a day. He took a test recommended him by his insurance company, which determined that he wasn't an alcoholic, he was self-medicating chronic depression. It isn't how much you drink, it's why.
Haha. Definitely not a hypochondriac. I haven't been to a doctor since I separated my shoulder two years ago, and given that I could see my clavicle bulging through my skin I thought it was a reasonable time to visit the doc's office. But even then I hesitated. The alcoholism test was more for fun. Whiskey and beer are important to me, but I fully agree that enjoying a buzz doesn't mean you have a problem.

-oh good. I'll consider that enough validation to continue on. Thanks pal. See you in Scotland!
