Since splitting with my misses 2 months ago i've been drinking anywhere between 8 and 14 beers a night.
Is this just a phase or do i need to seek medical help?
No desire to drink throughout the day though just the evenings. Cheers

Yeah basically drink until i'm drunk and sleepy.
Don't really want to give it up though as most of my socialising involves drinking with friends/on dates

As long as your still eating and not fading away then not that bad imo

Also what % are the beers ?

Beer van protect you from heart disease but maybe not 14 pints a night ( 12 bottles maybe )

Get on the Brewdog 5.5 6.5% small cans and not as full of junk as some gassed up beers

Alcoholics Anonymous has a list of 20 questions to help you decide if you are an alky.
My view is that 8 or more Yes answers means you need to seek help, not that I'm an expert on this
My favourite ones are:
4. Is drinking affecting your reputation?
20. Have you ever been in an institution ( e.g. chit chat forum ) on account of drinking?

Ok, I made that last one up.

You have an addiction/habit, call it what you want...because if you can't have night off then you are an addict, simples.

I used to drink heavily every night and would have described myself as a functional alcoholic in a senior position, nobody knew how much I drank as I was never late, never hungover and did a good job. Only thing is it wiped me out for the weekend! Then a just slept..Still drink but a really concerted cut back and not at all during the week. Saves £££s and my liver because like you I'm not immortal  Scared

Report DStyle May 2, 2017 9:56 PM BST
It's a fair amount, particularly if it's every night. I would imagine you're developing a (un?)healthy tolerance as well.

You seem to suggest you might be using it as a crutch, which could form the start of a problem. You should probably try and address that rather than the drinking.
Report prepared83 May 2, 2017 10:09 PM BST

I'd suggest you make sure you have 2 days a week without alcohol.

On the other 5 days, BrewDog Elvis Juice is the dog bollox.  6.2% though, so it won't keep you sober.

BrewDog Dead Pony club worth a try and only about 3.8%.  You might find you drink less of these cans.
