God, I binge drink so much.
I know I'm a student and a lot of students just go out and get completely wasted near enough every night, but I drink A LOT to get drunk. A 70cl bottle of vodka to start the night, then more at the bars/clubs I go to... and THEN I go to a 24 garage or shop and buy more at about 4 in the morning and come home to drink it.
No one I know does that. They might go to clubs nearly every night but don't drink as much as I do.

And the thing is, I can't go on a night out and NOT drink. I always want it. I can't have a weekend without ONE night of drinking... but I always preferably want two or three on a weekend. And I crave alcohol most of the time.

This must be alcoholism.

Wow, that is a lot. If I drank as much as you do, I would die.

Have you considered calling an AA clinic?

An AA clinic at 19 years of age though?
Someone messaged me a while ago saying their friend was in rehab at 14.
I don't want to give up alcohol though.

Dude, how can you afford to spend that much on drink? Pretty much everyone I know has cut down some bit with the recession.

I think you could do with some counselling.

I go out of my way to find cheap alcohol in shops and bars etc. That's definitely signs of alcoholism.
