    I had drank 3 times before I was even 15, LOL
    And I bet it was Hennigan's

    Kramer: That is damn good scotch. I could do a commercial for this stuff. Mmmmm, boy that Hennigans goes down smooth. And afterwards you don't even smell. That's right folks. I just had three shots of Hennigans and I don't smell. Imagine, you can walk around drunk all day. That's Hennigans, the no-smell, no-tell scotch.

      Science has proven there is a "alcoholic gene" that predisposes people to become alcoholics. The true definition of alcoholic is not being able stop drinking once you start or drinking more then you intended to. If you only drink once a year and go out to have a few beers and end up drinking 10 you are more of alcoholic then someone who drinks 1 beer a day.

        HAHA, that's classic. Kramer was so funny on that show (I wonder how he's so not-funny in everything else and in real life??) Now an alcoholic would be like Farfel's owner, that drunk guy on the plane with Jerry, remember that?? The episode where Jerry got stuck caring for that crazy dog? The dog we never even saw..

          I agree. Eventually an alcoholic reaches a point where he/she sometimes cannot stop drinking after the first drink.

            I love any episode where Jerry yells. When he yells at Farfel is pure gold.

            Gavin: Pre-prediction. You'll be calling me to ask if you can come and visit
            him before the month is out.
            Jerry: Prediction. I never see you or him again for the rest of my life.

If you drink every night and drink way more than you need too you are a drunk. A drunk can stop when they want too, but they do not want too mostly for the reason you mention. That is what makes them a drunk. A person that can't stop is called a alcoholic. It is not wrong being an alcoholic. You can't control it. Now this is what I learn about 5 years ago. It could have change.
              Really, there is only one difference between a drunk and a alcoholic. An alcoholic is in AA and a drunk is not. At least, that's what is said in AA.

                Re: Do you have a drink each day after work?

                Oh see I don't agree with that. A drunk, IMO, is someone like myself, who loves alcohol but has no problem controlling when and where they choose to drink. An alcoholic is someone who loves alcohol but has very little or no control over when and where they drink.

                I usually drink once a week (on Friday or Saturday) and I have a good bit to drink when I do, I like the feeling of getting buzzed. But if I have something to do the next, like if I am going out of town, I have no problem choosing not to drink at all that week. An alcoholic would still drink anyways in that situation, or more than likely, would drink much more than once a week.

                I think it boils down to the difference is the ability to be in control and make a choice. Like any addiction vs. non-addiction debate really.

                  LiverPoolRed - Oh I know what you mean about Jerry yelling, one of my favorites is when his g/f wanted him to get in touch with his emotions and he was yelling and crying and all that....I still remember him saying "what is this?? this salty discharge???" referring to his tears when he was talking to Elaine..hilarious!!

                    Another great one is when Elaine walks into Jerry's apartment and he's trying to open a bottle of Snapple. 'TWIST OFF, TWIST OOOOFFFFFF!"

                      Oh yeah! Oh and how about when she tells Jerry that she doesn't want to shake orange juice anymore as it's too much work? LOL....then Jerry takes it from her and shakes it and says something sarcastic about how "oh yeah right, that's so difficult" or something? I loved that.

                        We just have different definitions of a drunk I guess. Who doesn't like the feeling of getting buzzed? I guess there are a few. But by those patterns I would not call you a drunk. Someone who is sober 95% of his everyday life doesn't = a drunk in my book. My guess would be that there are a lot of drunks out there if we went by that definiton but again...just my opinion. Maybe I should just google the definiton

                          The only reason I really said I was a drunk is because when I drink I like to drink to get drunk. I'm not one of those guys you will ever hang out with that just has a couple of beers. For me it's like potato chips, once I have a taste I just want to have another. Honestly it's probably somewhat because of how alcohol, especially beer, is designed. Drinking one doesn't satiate your thirst, it makes you thirstier for another one. Also, I'm Irish and there are heavy drinkers, yes even alcoholics in my family, so I speculate I have the "gene" for being a hardcore alcoholic.

                          I tend to agree though that I'm not really a drunk as most people would think of someone as being a drunk. Because as you stated I don't spend but about 6 to 8 hours a week drunk. Which means that less than .05% of the week I am drunk.

                            Here is the definition of drunk:

                            –noun
                            4.an intoxicated person.
                            5.a spree; drinking party.

                            Here is the definition of alcoholic:

                            –noun
                            6.Pathology. a person suffering from alcoholism.
                            7.a person addicted to intoxicating drinks.

                            So I guess going by that I am a drunk for .05 to .1% of the week most weeks. But then 99% to 99.5% i'm neither.

                              Sometimes I do. I'll drink a XX while I eat dinner; XX goes down smoothly w/ food.

                              My parents, to this day, will come home and have a beer everyday, and it's Natural Light...ewwwww.
