This may sound weird. When i drink i get sick. not like hangover, like for example, i drank a little at a friends wedding not alot .. and i got sick and tiered.. for like 3 days then i woke up with an ear ache sinus infection, and really bad throat.. then i drank like a month later with some friends.. and i got toasted.. i was hungover for like a week. then i got strep throat and a sinus infection, its like every time i drink i get really sick, then another i dont think i can drink anymore. Every time i drink bad things happen.. i make really bad choice.. clothes come off and i do think i wish i never would.. i have to catch myself at before the i feel good.. cause once i feel good i wont stop till im puking on the ground. and cant move.. why am i like that.. i cant just have a few i have to keep drinking till i no longer can pick the bottle up.. i have gotten alcohol poisoning before because of this. put my life in danger and put my marriage in jepordy! and everything why am i like this? why do i get so sick? does this happen to anyone else?

 
I'm not sure how drinking would get you ill in terms of the sinus infection and strep throat.

However, about the clothes coming off and such, you really just have to learn to control yourself. Pace yourself and stop yourself before its too late.

Not to be rude, but majority of your threads are health-related.

I suggest seeing the doctor and asking for medical advices from them and other help as well...

And to answer your other question, I drink socially and not very often. When I do - some times I want to get drunk and other times, just buzzed. But within me, I THINK before I act and no matter how pissed drunk I am... I know what I'm doing.

YOU have to tell yourself when enough is enough and since you said you know when you should stop but don't... well, that's just not thinking there. If you don't wanna get sick and feel like drinking is the cause of it - then stop and seek medical attention to see if there is a problem or correlation... or just coincidence between the two. I don't get sick after drinking unless I'm hungover and that only last a day.

 
well actually i am on here for advice before i see a doc.. that is what the thread is here for ADVICE!! yes i do have a lot of health issues.. am i limited to how many posts im allowed to have on the health threads? I do see the doctor about everything i post in here. I have alot of problems yes im aware of that THANK YOU! im not trying to come off rude either.. but im sick and tired of people always replying back being RUDE!

Yeah..You definitely need to learn how to control yourself and if you don't think you can do that then maybe you shouldn't drink. That way there's no problems.

When I attended an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, one lady got up and said this:

(to paraphrase) You can take one drink a year - but if that one drink makes you do actions that you do cannot control or regret after - then you are an alcoholic.

I suggest going to an AA meeting or something.

 
Do you drink a lot of water when you're going to be drinking a lot? That always helps me. I'd had to deal with limiting myself on how many drinks I can have too...I know what you mean about getting out of control. Before I set a limit for myself I'd drink and drink until I made myself sick...but if I had a set number of drinks I can have, somehow I manage to control myself. I don't drink very often, but when I do I like to get reasonably drunk...there's no reason you can't do that too

Just be careful and have someone looking out for you when you go out.

I don't see how that would make you an alcoholic.... Alcoholic to me is more along the lines of drinking excessively.

 
I really think that you should find a physician for all of your problems, after all this is majority makeup website. This is not webmd.com, and most of our members are not medically competent to give you advice. And us that are still cant suggest anything to you like some of the problems you are having.

So maybe you should find a physician. When is the last time you had a physical and told a doctor about all the problems that you are having. Some things should be left to a professional.

 
thanks macy puncktured skirt and saje.. your guys words of wisdome were nice of you...

 
Maybe you have an underlying health issue. I've got an illness that makes it so that I can't drink. I used to be able to drink, but since I got ill I can't drink. If I have 1/2 a glass of wine I feel really drunk, and start vomiting. So as other people have suggested, it's probably a good idea to get checked out. I started having issues with drinking 6 months before my illness was diagnosed.

 
hmm.. my mom said it might be cause im bipolar.. but i dont get it...

and celly cell sorry i came off as a *****.. its just i have to many people say some mean things in my threads.. so ijust kinda took it offensive.. my bad

 
Missy, are you taking any medications for the bipolar disorder? Maybe the medications are interacting with the alcohol.

In any case, just be careful!

 
It's okay - I was trying to be helpful and we never usually get a feedback from your previous threads, so I wasn't sure if you do go to the doctors to see if all is fine... it's all left as a mystery, haha.

 
Missy, I've been a nurse a long time so I'm gonna tell you what I think but you probably wont like it. There is no medical reason for you to get a sinus infection after getting drunk so it is probably coincidence there. If you are puking.....well, that will happen if you drink too much. To me, an alcoholic is someone who has to drink and drinks to excess. You dont have to drink everyday to be an alcoholic. If your body is trying to tell you something, listen to it and quit drinking. If you can't quit drinking then you need to seriously consider the possibility that you have a serious issue that you need to deal with and if you are taking any medications and drinking alcohol, it's going to intensify what is already happening.

I don't know what your money or insurance situation is but you do need to be followed by a doc. You are young and should not be having all the problems that you do. How about a county health clinic. They are usually free or charge very little.

Try not to get so angry with people when they respond to you. If you are going to share such personal information about yourself, you have to be prepared to hear everyones opinions. I dont think anyone was trying to be rude but they weren't giving you the answer you wanted to hear and I wont either. I hope you feel better and I hope you get help and I honestly mean that. Just think about it, ok?......and take a deep breath before you respond.

 
Some people have a hypersensitivity to alcohol. If that is the case, then it really would be best to just not drink.

Yes, i agree with both Celly and Kelly (haha that rhymes) and Missy, if you look closley enough, everyone pretty much gave you the same answer, just some sugarcoated it and some didin't.

At the least, you could follow up on the other threads that you started about your health, some people would like to know how your doing at the end of it all. Also, don't expect to always hear what you want. You said it yourself its an ADVICE forum, so uh, don't get all pissed and say people are acting like "*****es" when you DO get the ADVICE you ASKED for. I dont think treating people that come to help you deserves that kind of attitude.All we want is to help, some people are more upfront than others.

We can only speculate, not give you a diagnosis so thats what we're doing, you know MUT we try and be nice, so make the effort too ok?

After all this has been said i also suggest maybe cutting down if you feel that you can't handel it, although i see no link between alcohol and strep other than your immune system may be down after you drink so thats why you get sick. But, like i said, go see a doc, a nice long healthy session.

 
yeah deffently some sugar coat it huh liz?

anyways.. i read up on the other threads.. i do take everyones advice, i just like peoples opionion if it where said nicely. you can tell me something i dont want to hear and i can take that, its how you offer your advice that pisses me off.. something that a lot of people say is if ya ant got nothing nice to say then dont say it.. im not offended that some of the advice is not what i want to hear,, that it may scare me .. thats not what im getting mad at.. i take it in and consider it. its just how people come off all pissy. I have been on this forum for what like a year or more.. and i do have a lot of questions.. i like to know what other people think about what is going on with my body.. yes i am seeing a dr. alot of it is linked to my thyroid. i still like to hear advice.. im not a med junkie.. cause i have a little sneeze im not gunna go running to the doc. i get on here and ask what you would do or think or sujjest.. and i just wish people would be a little more considerate with me questions and not yell at me to go to the doc. i call my dr. i live in a small town my dr comes to my house.. i get on here and ask questions to see if there is anyone going through the same thing with me and how they made it through it to hear there story's.. i dont reply sometimes cause the info i get is personal and i just cant bring myself to bring it up with others cause im still coping with whats going on in my life. like i said i take advice.. i go to the dr for just about everything or at least give them a call..( i have insurance now) i just wish people would be a little more nicer with there info they have to share. i sometimes feel attacked.. i get on here and write to see how others handle with the situation if they where going through it or had gone through it...

Alcoholism is many things - and one of the main factors that determine what alcoholism is would be the actions that one does that either hurt them or others, whether it be physically, mentally, or emotionally.
If all it takes is one drink for someone to do that - then they are an alcoholic. If it takes one drink for someone to lose the capacity to control themselves - that is what an alcoholic is.

Alcoholism isnt determined by the amount of alcohol you intake (as I know people who can down alcohol like it is water - but still function as compared to some friends of mine who can take just two shots and suddenly become a different person).
