    No, but I would have been if I hadn't radically changed how I drank. Plus there's a long history of alcoholism in the family so I took that to be an added warning sign.

    LOL, just noticed your user name. So, is it true? Are you really a 'real cool cat and do you live on top of Manhatten chase'?:D
    My mom says I'm cool and I live above a nightclub for Eastern European snobs.

    So it's possible.

    PS. Delighted someone gets the reference.

    Ya mightn't be an alcoholic, you could be a problem drinker or something.

    Unlikely as that test looks like a load of c*ck anyway :rolleyes:

    Alcochoics go to meetings.

    Drunks go to parties.

    I used to smoke. I was addicted to nicotine, and the first thing i did when I woke up in the morning was have a smoke. Before tea, before water, or orange juice. Thats addiction.

    I drink regularly, but I manage to get through breakfast, lunch and often dinner without a drink. Thats not addiction. I can do a days work, or on a saturday do a day of cleaning, shopping etc with out even wanting or fancying a drink. Thats not addiction. I answered about 3 out of the 20.
