i dont like british comedy, i dont really like comedy at all though. will farrell and martin lawrence are like the only people i find funny

Maybe you could videotape yourself while you're drunk. Later, make a list of the good things/not so bad things you did then, and point them out to your mother. Honestly, if you're not being a nuisance, there shouldn't be a problem. (It is possible, however, that she's simply concerned and doesn't understand.)

well i dot own a video camera, i never got around to bought one. i know for a fact im not a nucience. its just so taboo to drink every day in america and i dont know why. she just looks at me like im 12 again, and cant boss me around anymore, so she is going to pick on my drinking

cute!

I found that if one has an alcohol problem other people know it faster than the person doing the drinking. Its a problem that tells us you 'don't have a problem.'
But I wouldn't worry about it, if alcohol is going to be a big problem in your life, you will have years to develop patterns and habits that when you look back at them, you will be able to admit it to yourself by the evidence. Right now, you don't have enough evidence to convince yourself of your issues, but years from now, when you look down the corridor of your life, you will begin to see what your mom is yammering about now.
And I don't see you changing your attitude about your drinking until you have piled up the years and the booze and the dealing with the results. Then you might do something about it.
Alcohol is it's own best teacher. Until the time is right, no body can say anything to you about it anyway.

Dude I can totally relate. My mom is 100% anti-alcohol. I don't know why.

I think a lot of mom's get that way when their grown sons are drinking in the house.

That's one reason why alot of people choose to move out of their mom's house. Is that something you could look into?

id move out but im on a fixed income. i cant afford to live in this beautiful town on my own, so i have to roomates with my mom. we have a house in mountaionaire

Maybe you can make your mom a deal and offer to clean her yard if she lets you drink some beer.

well i already do some light house chores, even though i pay half the rent. i should not work out in the yard! i hate that

Eh! Dude, drinking every day is a waste of good booze. A couple of times a week is cheaper and you get a better buzz.

Less often, and the good stuff is worth the extra cost.

Drinking everyday leads to not eating well, all fun calories. You can live on a twelve pack of the cheapest beer a day, but it is not much of a life.

It can be a hobby or a habit, and as a habit it is like listening to the same record over and over.

It is like anything else, taking a couple of Advil twice a day, now put 1500 on the table and think about if you want that in your body, sugar in coffee adds up to a pile. Everything has a use and misuse.

A few pints of good stout, does the trick, maybe a single malt scotch distiled at proof a few days later. Drinking is an art, not a way of life.

These damn ape bodies are very prone to addiction. Stay ahead of your ape, only one can rule.

yes you are right, im shure the high wears off faster if you do it every day. i dont eat anyways but am a healthy weight, i know abot addictioins and thats why im still here if i was addicted to anything i would have been dead along time ago. thanks for your reply

Maybe you could move to a nearby city and rent a cheap flat? would that be workable? Maybe near a college campus. They usually have a lot of passable apartments at a decent price. Maybe even a rooming house or something? Or there's always the option of stopping or cutting way down on the drinking. Just letting you know what I did...

At least in my case, the disagreements over drinking were really just one aspect of a larger personality conflict that happened because a son was persistently living at home well into his adult years, and the parents started to lay down some rules, but they didn't have the heart to say "get out".

Not sure about your exact situation. In my own case I found the best thing to do was either respect mom's wishes(about alcohol) or find a way to live outside her house.
