Wait, so you're an AA zombie?
Yeah, but I specifically said I'm not being "kept down" by alcohol. I drink a lot but it doesn't cause problems. Only AA tools think all drinking is problem drinking.
Why so defensive? -

If you weren't so autistic you'd know that he isn't actually a problem drinker / alcoholic -
2016-04-04 at 8:58 PM UTCEveryone in my family is an alcoholic. My Mom is in AA and smokes weed and drinks lots of coffee and takes pills.
Everyone was drunk at the family get together except my mom and she was still fucked up and more intoxicated than me. Even my grandma got shitfaced wtf.
I was the soberist one there. Even the children were drinking and smoking weed. -

Not trying to be deliberately facetious but I literally LOL'd the whole time I read this. My grandparents(now dead) were alcoholics until the day they died..getting shit faced and arguing in their 60's after being married 35 years. My mom doesn't drink or do drugs but my father is a total junkie and has been to prison several times for drugs/stealing shit/fraud etc... I think there is something definitely hereditary to it but I'm no scientist though just being around the stuff constantly is more than enough to make a person very prone to abusing drugs/drinking. Some people it causes problems and others it doesn't..luck of the draw I guess. -

I thought I was bad until the entire family got together and it was like Fear and Loathing with all the reptiles fucking and drinking. I went there sober and left drunk, high, stimmed on coke and with meth in my pocket.
My heroin snorting and MDMA, meth abuse last year was nothing compared to how much substance abuse I saw in one night from people 3x my age. Legal pharmaceuticals are worse than Jenkem

Why so defensive?
I don't think I'm being particularly defensive, you called me out by name as "being on the bottom floor". I think you're wrong and I gave a reason why. How is that defensive?Lanny, how much do you generally drink per day? Do you ever drink heavily, and how often? Hangovers and frequency?
More sometimes, less others, if I'm not making any effort not to drink I'll hover around like four or five standard drinks over the course of an evening if I'm not doing anything in particular, more when I go out, less when I have a project or something I'm excited about.

If you feel like your lifestyle choices don't interfere with your basic functionality, then it's all good. You don't even need to justify yourself. All I have to go off of is what you've revealed about yourself, so who am I to thrust a significant diagnosis at you.
However, your inquisition about me being an "AA zombie" was defensive in nature. If you had simply responded with logic and/or reason, then I wouldn't have concluded what I had. But your immediate response had neither.
