Answer 1

It sounds like my first semester of college.  

I don't think it is too much unless you are asking for justification.  The problem comes when you have a physical need for alcohol, and this will sneak up on you out of the blue.  I drank alot in college, even more in the marines,  and now (5 years later) I have absolutely no desire to drink at all, but it is different for everyone.  Some never quit after the first drink.  It is good that you are not drinking alone, that is another sign of a problem.

Just be careful of your actions while you are drinking, and please don't drive.  A DUI will haunt you forever.

Answer 2

Most definitely it's way way too much.

She wants to see how much you drink because alcohol is a depressant. It may make you feel 'high' for a while, but it's a very powerful depressant. Depression could lead you to cutting yourself.

Don't compare yourself to your friends. It's your life we're talking about here, not theirs. Do they all self harm themselves as well? I thought not.

Answer 3

short and simple...YES!

Answer 4

It sounds like quite a bit, not sure how old you are.  The only reason I ask that is because it IS Summer and you may just be partying hard with your friends.  What concerns me is the blacking out . . . not good!  I'd be worried about your safety.

You seem to be concerned with self-harm, are you depressed?  Feeling suicidal?  Unhappy about something in your life?  You may want to see a therapist rather than a medical doctor . . . I hope you find the peace you're searching for.

Answer 5

...Yes, its too much.  Do not compare yourself to your friends!

i believe you know you have a problem.  Or else you wouldnt be asking for advice and not lying on your diary.  I think you know what you need to do.

Keep writting in a diary...including what activities you did during the day, and write down ALL your emotions...and why you felt this way or that.

...Journal each day, what makes you want to drink.

Most of all, learn to accept your problem with alcohol....acceptance is one of the main keys on getting better.  You are not alone.  

Comparing yourself to other people, like comparing yorself to your friends, is dangerous.

I used to tell people,"****, Im not as bad as my friend so and so,...I still have my job and so and so lost theres because of there drinking...I must not have a problem!.."...  Alcoholism is also a 'thinking' dissorder.  It distorts your thinking.  Thats when comparing yourself to other people, and making excusses why you drink...those are some distorted thinking.  You sound very young.  You need to get help now. You have a huge future ahead of you.  Im speaking from experience...without help now, your life will become a living h**l.

E mail if you have any questions.  Take care sweetie.

Answer 6

its not so much the amount you're drinking, its about why you're drinking and what situation you're drinking in.

if you're drinking every night out with friends its different to drinking every night on your own

Answer 7

It's waaaaaaay too much! esp. if you're self harming and looking for treatment for that.
