i'm not an alholic

I noticed something weird recently. A lot of my friends has been sending me drinks with boozemail on Facebook. Does that means that I'm an alcoholic in the eyes of my friends. It really had me pondering for awhile. Am I really an alcoholic?

I starting drinking while in college. I was then staying with my cousin's family as they lived very close to the college I attended. My cousin-in-law enjoy drinking very much and would bring us out for a drink once in awhile at the country club where he joined as a member. Oh my. Drinks like Snowball, Screwdriver, etc got me so hooked.

Eventually when I went to further my studies in Australia, clubbing became a weekly affair which me and my friends never failed to go, irregardless of whether it is exam period. Those were really the days. We would be indulging ourselves in drinks like Flaming Lamborgini, Long Island Iced Tea, Illusion. I even received presents like a sign and certificate that says I'm an alcoholic from friends!

When I was working in Beijing years back, due to work requirement, I had to socialize with regulars sometimes and drink with them. So, drinking became compulsory instead of pleasure. Choices of drink also matured as I was then drinking bourbon whiskey and whiskey, no more fancy cocktails.

I stil enjoy drinking but I hate the effect of hangover. Once in awhile, I would still let my hair down and drink to my heart's content. We would be drinking by the bottles these days. No matter how much I enjoy drinking, I'm still not an alcoholic!

Alcoholic is someone who drinks everyday and get drunk everytime they drink. I don't do that. I just simply enjoy drinking and the companion of my friends when we go drinking, not forgetting the dancing part. I'm a dancing queen! hehe.... and by the way, don't buy me drinks on Facebook. I only want the real thing! :)
