I wouldn't say so, I usually get into trouble or do things I regret. I started drinking when I was 12 and have done it regularly since with a 6 month period of being sober in 2010 and I'm honestly bored of it.

I don't wake up needing a drink and I can go about 10 days without having one fairly easily (with a few minor complaints i.e. at the football) but then as soon as I have one again that's it, I go on a three/four day bender. I have absolutely no decision making when that first drink hits me. I'm one of those types that is begging his mates to stay out at the end of the night and if they fuck off I find another way to carry on the party, will keep on drinking until I black out or fall asleep. Those with self control like my mates don't understand.

Decided enough was enough when I was in hospital two weeks ago last Sunday. Day 18 being sober now.
