Yes

Yes, it is about 110 ml a day assuming you drink equal amount all 7days. 110 ml is about 2.5 drinks of 80 proof whiskey. That is more than the recommended amount on a consistent basis.

Way to be a snoozer, Deloitte 2. I know many folks from your group that go above and beyond that, in addition to some other helpers.

Not absurdly, it’s ~2 drinks per day. Wouldn’t hurt to not do that much weekly though.

No

Yes - even if you’re not getting drunk nightly...its indicative of you beginning to depend on it or over indulge.

It’s a myth that alcoholism = getting so drunk you can’t function

Depends on whether it affects your life negatively or not.

I don’t think it’s possible to answer this question without any context. Are you Andre the Giant? If so, likely insignificant.

Are you waking up hung over, abusing your animals, and moments away from eviction? If so, yes probably too much.

Yes

That's enough to be considered an alcoholic if it's negatively impacting your life and/or health

No for a proper latent alcoholic

Since you are asking this question, it seems to me you are recognizing that you are already drinking too much for your own comfort level.

Any one of us here can give you a yes or no answer based on our perspective, but, that won't necessarily mean we're right (or that we're wrong) it is just our opinion.

What really matters is that you're worried enough to talk about it.

So, I guess my question for you, is now that you're becoming aware of this ... what are you going to do about it?

Rookie numbers son

Is it part of your daily routine? Would you be able to go a day without it? Try taking a short break or cutting down by 1 or 2 drinks. How do you feel?

Can you go a week without it?

That’s a lot of whisky. A bottle lasts me about a month. Ease up a little OP. Take a week off, go for a nice walk.

Yum yum

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
