First mistake OP, is bier Chang wretched stuff.

Next, as others are advising is you need to realize you have a serious problem.

Years ago, eons it seems, one of my best friends had the same, until he crashed his car and killed a girl. We were in our twenties, he went to prison.

It was a wake up call for all of us. Don't let this problem you have end in a similar tragedy. Best of luck.

I don't know actually.  Last time I blacked out and found a good deal of baht gone so I must have spent it on a lot of booze.  Past 5-10 beers I really can never remember much.

I often go out to the bars in Pattaya and spend 2k on drinks for myself before I stagger home wobbling drunk.  It's pretty embarrassing to see me.  And no, that doesn't includes drinks for others.

Well you're far more honest than I was able to be when still in my cups. Grats!
There are many styles of alcoholism, mine was more like yours sounds. I wasn't a binger or a maintenance drinker either.

*For me* I went to AA and it saved my bacon (26 years of an absolutely wonderful life without a drop). IF you try a few meetings - don't let the talk of god throw you. It is NOT a religious deal. It's a spiritual one and they keep it that way by using the term 'higher power'.
AND - some of the most spiritual folks I know in AA are atheists or agnostics... go figure.

2k at a bar and ten beers sounds like a quiet night for me.

To be honest I started drinking at three the other afternoon and then didn't get home until 11am the next day. I had spent about 15k in total and had shagged too girls without using protection. So I wouldn't worry yourself about your drinking.

Stupidity is nothing to boast about, though we can all do it
(That's the pot calling the kettle black!)

I suppose its helpful to remind people that no matter how bad they feel, it can still get a lot worse.

Longevity. Lifespan. How long do I have, how do I get more. Give me more life...
Seems to be somewhat of an obsession with some.
Live your life in a way that makes you happy. If that includes drinking then so be it.

I drink to flirt with boys with excuse hahaha... just kiddin. I don't know how to stop when I'm drinking so sometimes I need a companion to stop me.

I only get wasted a few times a month, so is that a problem?  I have no idea.

You know it's a problem otherwise you wouldn't have posted in here.

Adults can educate children, but they can't teach other adults what they already know. All anyone can do is show encouragement and support towards those who are genuinely trying to quit or moderate their drinking.

Knowledge though is pretty useless without action. There are millions of people the world over that are drinking, eating, and smoking their way into an early grave, and here's the thing; they know it, and they knew it before any of these issues got serious!

Good luck to you, and I mean that
