There is that guy that stops for a couple and then goes home, mows his lawn, has dinner with the family, plays with the kids and watches a little TV and never even thinks of having another beer, that guy ain't got the problem.

Then there is the guy that stops for a beer and has one right after another and closes the place up,,thats the kind of drinker I am and I sure had a problem, always saying it will not happen again, but it does, everytime I drank, I got drunk..

One time we were working on Bonneville Second powerhouse construction in bonneville washington, my drivers license had been suspended again , this time for 5 years, I rode with my partner on the job and said "Well Snuffy, lets stop here at the town pump and have a beer" to which he says "you silly Bast**d , you never had -A- beer in your life" which was right.

If you think you are drinking a little to much and want to see if you have a problem,,Quit for 2 weeks or a month,,I mean QUIT, then go out and have 1 or 2 and see how you feel, try this a few times and if you don't feel like having another drink after having a couple and can make the rest of the day without thinking of a drink,,then you pobly OK, but if you think of MORE BEER and are not truly comfortable,,you might have the same problem as I do,,but no big deal, you can do as I did and still do after 24 years since my last drink..
