Does That Make Me An Alcoholic?

I drink three beers a day. Does that make me an alcoholic?

What about two beers? Suppose I only drink two beers a day? Am I an alcoholic then? Or is that the "healthy recommended dose"? What if I only drink one beer? Can I please not be considered an alcoholic in that instance? If I only drink one beer a day?

SCREW YOU!!! To heck with your judgmentalistic -nesses and -isms! I am going to right now, go drink FIVE BEERS, right now this very instant! Pound 'em! One right after the other! Then we'll see who's an alcoholic!!

Aw, I'm just kidding. I would never do that. Waste good beers like that? Waste good beers, in a binge-pound. What's the point at that point? Who's appreciating that?

Actually I'm out of beers. I need to get more at some point.

Well, that's not entirely true. I'm not "out" - I've got the last one. I've got the last one, right here. Ice-cold and open. Still a little steam rising from that sacred raised circle of bottle-glass, right at the top!

I'm drinking it now.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

It's actually a Buckler, but you know what? Them Bucklers is good! My sister turned me on to those.

She knows her beers!

Buckler? I'd never heard of it before. I learned something new on the internet today!

Techically I usually hear it referred to as "Buckler N.A."

I don't want to cop to what the "N.A." stands for, but I have to say, of all of that..."style"...of beer, this is the only one that I would choose to drink as if it were not. Not "N.A."

Heck, in fact I think even devoted a post to it: Buckler! Product of Holland.

He's drinking twice. Looks like you're not the only one. ;P

@Blue - yeah, I usually delete the superfluous post when I see a verbatim double-submit, but knowing Grant's sly style I said: "THAT's a deliberate joke on his part!"

@Grant - as we always used to say back East (preferably slurrred), "Have another one!"

I wonder if the sudden, strong desire for a beer as a result of reading this delectable post makes me an alcoholic. I bet you were being a cruel tease on purpose!

No please!! I have never to the best of my knowledge been a cruel tease on purpose!

With the exception of, you know, people I literally do or have hang/hung around with. I'm constantly jeering at and teasing them mercilessly! Which is not to say that I class people separately, it's just that in the online realm, it's too easy to take stuff wrong or/and weird, so I try that much harder to keep it on the up-and-up.

But you were just kidding, here I am getting all serious. My apologies!

Seriously, though - if you're ever worried? Alcohol-wise? Go with the Buckler. It's good-tasting, and if you can do fine on those alone, then you know: you're in the clear!
