i can't go one day without a beer at all.

I am fine throughout the day, but once 6pm hits, I start to get irritable and the thought of getting through the night without a beer makes me almost panic.

When I give in, I have 2 cans of Fosters and then my dinner. In bed by 10:30-11:00.

How can I stop this irritable feeling? Do I need professional help?

I was the same as you treble..its a habit..that's all.I've replaced my daily beers with a pint of soda water and Schweppes blackcurrant cordial.After drinking that the "need" for a beer is no longer there..try it.

Correct its a habit, I know because I have one.  I drink every day but not much. I enjoy it but I've done it for so long that I hardly ever miss day without a drink.

I always have a glass of wine with my dinner. I've got skate on the menu tonight with some new potatoes and asparagus. Some Sauvignon Blanc from down under to wash it down with. That's my M.O. I could change my ways but I don't want to, I like a glass of wine in the evening when I'm eating.

As long as you're not going over the recommended number of units per week you should be Ok but they do say you should have a couple of alcohol free days a week to give your Liver time to recover.

I rarely drink now. An occasional can of cider or an even more occasional glass of wine with a meal.
Probably no more than the equivalent of 24/30 cans a year.

If you want to cut down try drinking water at the same time, alternate between the two, it seems to trick the brain into thinking you've drunk more than you have.

Once I've eaten, I can't face a beer.

That's why I like having a couple of cans then my dinner. Makes me nice and relaxed, and the beer helps my appetite.

more alcohol in a packet of wine gums than in a can Fosters  - impossible to have a drink problem unless you're on a bottle of wine a night at the very least .  (10/12 units or 77 pw )

Spent one night drinking Carlsberg lager ,not out of choice really -  I was more sober at the end of the night than at the start  .

What have you eaten prior to 6pm? If you've been eating carbs it may be that your blood sugar is low, hence the irritability and agitation, leaving you craving something to give you a mild sugar high that has become a habit. Or perhaps not, something to consider anyway. But what happens if you move your dindins to 6pm, do you still need those drinks?

its what those 2 cans turn into as the years go by.

alcohol is the most insidious of all drugs, it just waits to entrap you, and if you do have a problem (habit) by the time your 50 birthday comes around, chances are its with you for the rest of your life creating all types of havoc physiological and psychologial. (after the age of 50 only 4% of problem drinkers are successful abstainers)
Report Clarky9 October 31, 2014 7:54 AM GMT
Just don't have a multi pack of Fosters or whatever else in the house imo. It's out of sight out of mind ...

I very rarely drink, but if I go on a Stag Do or lads night out then I can drink alot, too much of the truth be told.

At home if we have nothing in the house then I don't even think about having a drink and can go months without a drop of alcohol.

Recently I fixed the garden fence for a neighbour, nice old lady next door. She went out to Tesco and bought me a 24 pack of Stella as a thank you. I stuck them in the conservatory and thought I'd do well to drink them by Christmas. Within a week I'd had about 10 or 11 cans. Not alot in the grand scheme of things, but was coming home, having one or two cans and then having me dinner. Just goes to show how easy it is to develop a habit without really realising it. Last few days I've just been having my usual pint of orange squash with my dinner and haven't even though about having a tin or two...

Simple.

You have programmed your mind to do certain things at specific times. Everyone is the same,it's normal
Change the program. Identify the triggers that start the event (the Drinking) and change trigger to mean something else.ie instead of having the drink, masturbate furiously.

If this fails,lay down immediately.this method has a 100% success rate. As a last ditch resort.as the time approaches the trigger point of 6pm.change clock back to 5.30,and repeat manouvre 8 or 9 times then go to bed.

you just need to take a hands on approach to these things
