You have more symptoms at your age than I did when I finally wised up
and quit drinking beer.  One day it is going to become markedly
unfriendly and you will wish you'd take my advice and done to see a
certified drug and alcohol counselor close to you.  Only then can you
find out for certain if you have any of the various forms of alcoholism.
The most common type is not the only form of this disease.
And ignorance, in this case, can kill you.
